Dembele needs to step up his finishing. Trincao has shown lately that he is the better finisher. Dembele will lose his starting spot if Trincao continues that way.

Koeman has balls for starting Pique after 4 or 5 days training with the team. Shows also how much he trusts Umtiti. :lol:

Will depend a lot on the fitness of Dest imo. If he is not ready yet, Koeman is more or less forced to start both of them as long as he doesn't want to lose Frenkie in CM. And we all know the team loses more in midfield than it wins in defense with FDJ as CB. Paredes and Verratti are decent and...

Delusional.

You can have a good game with quality chances and still lose 2-0. All it takes is a few fuck-ups in defense and an opposing GK with a very good day like seen against Sevilla. Of course, the injuries of Neymar and Di Maria are an advantage, but PSG still has some players who can hurt Barca. Also...

He is the 2nd best defender in the club, but without game practice he shouldn't play in a high pressure game like PSG. Put him on the bench and use him late in the game if necessary.

Konrad would have scored 4.

Yes. Back in March, I think.

Well, we have to put things into perspective. Umtiti was one of the best CBs back then and had a buy-out of just 60M. Umtiti's agent spread rumours about United being interested (maybe they were and made an offer, you never know) and ready to make use of his buy-out. So it was either extending...

I agree with you but you never know these days. Ansu never played for Barca B IIRC and was doing so so well before he got injured. Not gonna say he is that good, but he looks promising and some players have the necessary confidence to not get roasted by seniors even at 17. I mean, let's be...

Read in Sport that they really like Gaya but have agreed that a striker is more important for the team. They believe that Alba still has another year on a top level and Balde is the next in line to be promoted to the first team. Balde is an explosive left back with pace and used to be a winger...

Neymar did the club dirty by not talking about his desire to leave and waiting until his loyalty bonus was due. This left the club with 222M late in the transfer summer and every other club knew that. Barto was desperate enough to pay what Dortmund demanded because he got embarrassed big time by...

According to Sport he is the next in line for a permanent promotion. Firpo leaving in summer is already agreed. They like Gaya, but have agreed that a striker is more important as Alba still is decent enough for another season as starter.

I really like your line-up, but imo Mingueza-Lenglet should get a start as CB-pair before the game against PSG. Given the available players in defense the best would be to play 3 at the back and rest Alba, but like I said, Mingueza and Lenglet should get a game to get used to each other in a...

I'm the last who defends him as I'd prefer to sign somebody more athletic, but that he can't compete at City is not really true. He is saying since last summer that he won't extend his contract. That's why City bought 2 CBs in summer. Things would look much better for Garcia if he had extended...

I wouldn't want to play against my love either. Nothing to celebrate from a Barcelona point of view though. Probably somebody like Sarabia or Draxler will step up and play his game of their career like Origi did.

To my impression Griezmann, FDJ, Pedri and Alba looked very tired yesterday. Busquets is just that slow. Leo looked fine to me, but resting him for an hour and letting him turn things around should always be considered as tactical option. He proved it more than once.

Fact is that he wanted a CB, a RB, a C(D)M and #9 last summer. He only got Dest. He was right about the rest of the positions. Every game, especially against better teams, is prove of it. Pjanic (a new signing :lol::banghead:) looks even more finished than soon to be 33yo Busquets, who himself...

Hard to win if you don't score.

Away goal needed
