It's taken out of context. He just said more or less that he didn't understand it when they fired Valverde, but later in the interview he also admitted that they neglected training and humility is necessary as there are better teams in Europe. He praised Koeman for using a direct way of...

At this point Araujo should get a run of games with Pique or Lenglet. He complements both of them much better than they do with each other. Good that Pique is banned against Juve. Koeman really should test what Araujo is capable of at a top-level.

Brazil coach Tite revealed that Coutinho gained 4 kilogram of muscle mass at Bayern. Overall he weighs 5 kilogram more than a year ago.

The same could be written about Pique or Lenglet.

The other one walks with cows, he trains them.

Next president will have to "pay" for it. Covid gets used as excuse for bad management way too much. :rolleyes:

After the contract extensions of Pique ('24) and Lenglet ('26) it should be pretty clear that the backline doesn't need another rather slowish player. Try everything to get Upamecano for that 42M buy-out next summer and move on.

Not impressed by him lately. He is still very young and can develop, but could also be that he peaked very young.

Yes, Adriano was underrated.

This. Start Trincao and sub Dembele.

Early impression and can't explain why, but something about him reminds me of Adriano. Might be a better LB than RB.

Araujo might have been a better choice against that pacey striker.

Nervous as fuck, but became better as the game went on. Also confused by Messi who dropped to the winger position at times. That through ball to Ansu was class. You can see that he is a talented player, but he needs to get cleaner at simple passing. Pace might become an issue.

First time with 2 wingers IIRC?! I like this line-up.

Sport is saying that there are concerns about his fitness level and that he is still in "preseason". Some of it is due to his Covid-infection, some of it because he let himself go a little too much in August. They also write that he is struggling to match his teammates intensity in training...

A loss against Getafe away was a no-brainer. Even prime-Barca had difficulties to win these games after international duties. - More or less the whole team was gone, jetted through Europe or even over the Atlantic playing up to 3 games - Not lots of time for game preparation while opponent...

Had the perfect opportunity to score in the 29th minute, but let his team down by misplacing the shot badly. Had enough chances to prove himself. Time to give Trincao or Dembele the possibility to earn a starting spot.

Dude got some nerve to indirectly complain about the position he gets played in Barcelona while both Coutinho and Messi are at least a class better than him as SS/AM/10. He can comfortably take a seat on his best position then.

Why not both? Dembele on the left instead of Ansu who played a lot lately, Trincao on the right instead of Griezmann who didn't offer much. Maybe Griezmann instead of Messi who also needs rest.

Happy for him personally, but don't like that he gets played every competitive game. Don't overplay him, kid is just 17 ffs
