Season only started and team played 3 games. The fact he preferred other players doesn't mean that Koeman doesn't change his mind. Way too early to draw conclusions. Sooner than later he'll have to rotate more. Also, Barto might told him to not risk an injury because they were trying to...

They are trying to reduce his salary by extending his contract.

Sandro Rosell seems to be pretty popular in Catalan penas and there are still many who have him on their wall in club rooms calling him 'El presidente'. Could be that he supports Bartomeu. Penas may be key since vote will only be in Camp Nou unlike vote of no confidence which could be signed in...

The real question will be if Barto can "motivate" his supporters and how many of them are still left. Usually the haters are "louder" and more motivated to vote.

It would be held in Camp Nou facilities only.

I'd bench Griezmann for Dembele, but it isn't really fair to compare Griezmann to Dembele and Umtiti attitude wise. Griezmann is one of the fittest players in the squad, very professional. He is just a bad fit. This is 50% (or less) on him and 50% (or more) on Barto/board, who chased him for 2...

Then now is the time to prove him wrong and train well while his teammates are with their national teams.

There should be fair competition between Griezmann, Trincao and him for the RW spot. Also, Dembele should be the back-up of Ansu on LW instead of playing Coutinho out of position.

He will be of use if he doesn't get another long-term injury.

He is lacking match practice. Can't expect him to play like next Luis Figo. He was always a refreshing factor when subbed in and thats all we should expect from a 20yo who is new to La Liga.

One or another simply suffers from completely inflated expectations with regard to individual player performances.

I have to quote and praise you for this post since there is no like-button anymore. Very nice to read such a sophisticated post in a forum that very often only knows black or white instead of the many shades in between.

Madrid, it is good for Madrid.

Bit of recovery and waiting until his contract runs out.

This. If United is prepared to pay 100M+ for Sancho, they also can afford wages of Dembele and a decent lending fee of 10M. With every day passing it should get more expensive. We are 3 days before transfer window closes. With that lending fee Depay might be doable. I agree with @mc_lovin ...

No one mentioning him? He was bit lucky with that withdrawn red card, but apart from that he was class. Organised and led from the back, especially when Barca went down to 10. Great leader for Araujo too.

Those first 2 games are an ideal starting point for the hard work Koeman is trying to introduce. This way he can also make the last doubters in the squad believers. As a positive side effect, media has nothing negative to write about and the team can work hard in silence and let success make the...

Maybe Koeman should tell Messi to visualize Bartos head on the ball whenever opponent has the ball.

He is a different beast against the ball when he is angry atvthe ref.

At least Araujo gets a chance now and against Sevilla. Sub Griezmann
