Someone else might disagree and say: that's not a definition of being plastic but being smart and living in the real world. On the other hand, what Barca is doing with sticking to some romantic principles (which obviously aren't working too well) might be called as being young and naive. One...

I am from Croatia, so in theory, I should defend competitions as WC and Euros, but majority of people have probably figured out till now that the quality of football is way lower on the NT tournaments. Here are some reasons: 1. players play in their clubs for 9-10 months per season and build a...

Just another point on Yamal. As we have learned over the years following Barca, we know that in Barca's offices and among fans we value the most flair, technique and nice-football. While in Real they value mental traits. In Germany or England, they value physical traits etc. So, here, among...

Just logged in to say: my boy Serghei is getting more and more wise as he is getting older :sherlock: On a serious note: when you look at the history and stats, 90% of young players won't reach their hyped potential. As this Blanco user said, majority of kids are "just kids" who are 16-17 and...

He didn't have stamina issues 2-3 years ago because he was the master of hide and seek. He would pass the ball and disappear for 10 minutes from the field. During those 10 minutes he would go to take a nap at Camp Nou locker rooms. Then he would return to the field, make one fancy pass and...

Ernesto infront of Barca

On Youtube videos, he reminds of Hulk, Julio Baptista, maybe Adriano. But comparing anyone with Adriano is a blasphemy. About his highlights, it s hard to tell much until he comes and play in La Liga. He could be good or a total disaster. Since, even Malcom looked awesome and like a crazy...

I have warned about that several years ago. Pedri is similar to Arthur and have some similar issues. My opinion is that as kids, they grew up as Barca's fans and they grew up watching Pep's football and Spanish NT from 2008-2012. Before Pep's era, midfielders were different. Majority of teams...

I miss the good old days when our players weren't these snowflakes with the bodyweight of Keira Knightley and the mental strength of a 13 year old teen-girl.

And then, they are paired with midfielders like Pedri and Frenkie who have zero shooting instincts in them. Luckily for us, La liga is in extremely low quality situation, so even the current team can fight for titles. But Europe wise, at this rate, it is more likely that our next European title...

I hate when players make horrible decisions with 2-3 ninutes left when you know that you'll have only 2 actions till the end. At 2:3 after Lewa's header miss, Barca had the momentum, the ball gets to him at a LB, and instead of playing the ball to our Cbs who will switch the side and send the...

He is playing well, but in no way should a club rely on him longterm. The guy is an absolute psycho head wise. He'll just randomly disappear (literally), quit football or break his contract on any random day. There is a reason why both City and Bayern let him go. Hint: his psycho personality...

Maybe the worst Gk playing for any top club in the last 10-20 years

He has very bad attitude lately. As if he is bored and without motivation anymore. Also, he is choosing retarded options in attack. Vs Newcastle he tried a few fancy overhead kicks, backheel shots and similar in situations where he had time to take a normal shot. Lucho was also visibly pissed...

My thoughts exactly. Even today, a few months after his debut, he looks less promising than after his first 2-3 matches. With young dribblers: 1. he can either improve in a linear way and get better and better each year 2. or, he can have his peak aged 17-18 and decline after that (like young...

He thrives the best when there are no opponents on the pitch.

From Iniesta's replacement to being semi-retired aged 26. He is a free agent currently, nobody wants him.

Regarding comments of the quality of La Liga: A lot of fans here are somewhat younger and started to follow Barca around Messi and Pep's era when La Liga and Barca were on top of the world. So, they are confused about what happened? But historically, La Liga was never THAT popular. In the 80s...

When the teammates don't pass the ball to someone, there is usually a reason. They know him from the training grounds: 1. and they either think that he sucks as a player currently 2. or that he'll do some risky move like a dribble and cross and likely lose the ball so they are passing to...

Anyway, I'll start with the one thing which I don't like about him for now. I'll quote my post from a few months ago when I have seen him for the first time: In the league match last weekend, he was good though. But now, while watching his highlights against Osasuna, I see the same things...
