    Sergi Roberto

    No it's not. Go back and look at the posts. Everyone was singing his praises. Right now Roberto and the team in general aren't at their best and everyone is picking players apart. The games earlier where Roberto had like 2 assists and could have had more if it wasn't for teammates missing open...

    Sergi Roberto

    He hasn't been at his best for the last couple months or so, but what happened to everyone who was saying Alves who? Some of his performances early in the season were at the level of prime Alves and that's not an exaggeration. Didn't Roberto pick up an injury this season? I forget. Maybe that's...

    Luis Enrique

    Would Arda work well enough in that RW spot with a double pivot? Obviously not ideal but with all the news on Barcas financial situation there may not be enough money to spend on a perfect fit. I do think that formation would work. It would benefit the attack as well as defense if Neymar and...

    Who should replace Iniesta?

    Sergi Roberto.... But he's currently busy becoming the best RB in the world. Guess I'll have to pick Arda

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    This Barca team doesn't live and die with possession the way Peps Barca did. You think Neymar is criticized a lot now? It would have been even worse if he was on the team then. But the way the team is constructed now he is absolutely vital. He takes chances and even though they don't always work...

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    Changes would only be made if there are no trophies won at the end of the season. It's frustrating to be sure but if in the end trophies are won then the majority of people will say the risks are worth it. For me personally I say it's worth the risk. There have been at least a couple goals...

    Sergi Roberto

    The only thing we haven't seen Roberto do yet is shoot the ball like Alves could. But besides that attacking wise he has been as good as Alves was SO FAR. and defensively I feel more secure with Roberto than I did with Alves, again, SO FAR. But I don't think He'll have problems with world class...

    Luis Enrique

    Just wanted to give a round of applause to Lucho one more time for his Sergi Roberto move. That is all.

    Liga | Round 6: Sporting Gijon - FC Barcelona 0-5

    Sporting did end up with alot of shots but none were really dangerous. The one thing the team gains when Messi is out is more balance and structure. Everyone pretty much stays in their spots and then defensively you get another player to press hard to get the ball back.

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    It was an average game for sure with his execution and decision making. But he is without a doubt the most important player to our attack with Messi out. Nobody comes close to his creativity currently and even on his off days the opposing teams still have to account for him because of the...

    Arda Turan

    What percentage of barcaforum wanted him gone before the season started. Good thing the board doesn't react like most of you.

    Sergi Roberto

    And he could have even more. He should have had 2 more in this game alone.

    André Gomes

    Behrox said it best. He's a deep lying CM. In the Bein broadcast Ray Hudson dared to compare him to Pirlo. I like his overall game alot. Some shades of Busi after he moved into his spot with his close quarter dribbling with his back to defenders.

    Sergi Roberto

    I don't care how often I come on here and say how brilliant he is because he deserves all the praise. Everything he brings. The crosses, the runs, the positioning both offensively and defensively, the strength on the ground and in the air. Just like when Alves was at his best it brings another...

    Gerard Piqué

    Remember a few years ago when people were questioning him? Those days are long gone.

    If Messi and Cristiano didn't exist, who would be the best player in the world?

    That is precisely what this question is. You have to go under the assumption that if he's done it before he can do it again. Which he did to an extent in the olympics with Brazil and then the most recent WCQ. Again I can't hate on people that chose Suarez. He's the best striker in the world and...

    If Messi and Cristiano didn't exist, who would be the best player in the world?

    I like Suarez more but I think Neymar effects the game more often than Suarez does. Just go back to last year when Messi was out. Who would you say was the best player at that point? Sure Suarez was great but Neymar played similarly to how Messi does now which also happens to be how he plays for...

    Liga l Round 5: FC Barcelona - Atletico de Madrid 1-1

    It'd be hilarious to see what Simeone's men would do. They'd be like WTF do we do with this ball coach?

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    And I think with his increasing age he should be fine with playing less. As others have said he still provides a lot to the club off the pitch. And He is still a great 3rd choice CB and if one of Pique or Umtiti got injured I wouldn't be scared at all with Masche taking their place. First time I...

    Sergio Busquets

    And if his mind is not in it then he is screwed. If most players rely 70% on physical abilities and 30% mental then Busi is definitely the opposite. Get your priorities straight man! ;)
