Look at how the media has reacted. That instantly puts pressure on the board. More attentive members of the media sphere are already suggesting the only way out for Barca is early elections, which would be a saving grace. If this media frenzy continues I cannot see how the board will have any...

I agree the defence is the problem. But it is just as much of an organisational/management problem as it is a personnel problem. Jose Mourinho doesn't create unbreachable defences by spending big money on defenders, he does it by organizing his team and getting them playing as a unit. I don't...

Didn't even have to think about it. 65ymwsTzUIA

Explain how you think Chelsea and Madrid have better teams than Barca. They may have better depth, but no way is their starting 11 on paper better. The only way they beat us is when we beat ourselves with poor managers making the decisions. Neymar, Messi Suarez is is on paper easily the most...

What do you mean it's hard for other forwards to play with him? David Villa and Pedro both scored 25 goals each in their best season, with Messi playing down the center. Barca have been performing badly since that season. Any striker will struggle to score goals when the entire team is playing...

It's obviously a accumulation of things, the loss was just the final push. Lucho terminated his own contract with his own stupidity.

Are you trolling?

Yeah I think it's a good thing. With the resignation of Puyol after Bartomeu's comments, things are really coming to a head now with this Messi situation. I can't say I agree whole heartedly with this turn of events by Messi, but sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

Don't be absurd. After missing training yesterday and this media frenzy that a few "follows" on instagram has caused, I'd be more concerned if he wasn't called in for a meeting. Luis Enrique is a fool. He will be sacked if the team doesn't win the next 3 games, and considering Messi is our only...

Seriously doubt this is reputable. Eurosport seem to think it's already done. https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/video/euro-papers-lionel-messi-wants-114051995.html Confirmation that leo was fined for missing training. Gastroenteritis debunked? Bartomeu needs to be lynched.

Ok, so why was he voted out/not voted back in? Were the Soci that easily fooled by Rosell?

Like I said, you can't expect Xavi to make passes to players who aren't there. He needs a player making a good run to be able to pick them out. It's risk vs reward. There is no point in xavi trying to hit 40 yard through balls constantly when there is no chance of it coming off because players...

Praise the lord.

I agree completely with what you would do with the midfield, I feel like barca has the players, they just aren't been used properly. Pique and Vermaelen would probably be our best CB pairing in my opinion, and Jordi Alba is good enough, he just needs discipline. Alves is the weak spot...

Messi_Goal, are you secretly Ibrahimovic? Just lol at suggesting Messi is holding players back. He creates more chances for his teammates than any other CF in the world. Considering how good his finishing is he isn't selfish either, he will always choose to pass or go alone depending on what...

Well that's a sentiment I can certainly agree on. From the manager up the club is rotten.

I stand corrected, you're absolutely right. I thought Arsenal were interested but the price was too high. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2779250/Cesc-Fabregas-wanted-Arsenal-switch-didn-t-need-reveals-Arsene-Wenger-ahead-Chelsea-showdown.html

Fabregas was kicked out the door. He requested Arsenal and was denied because Chelsea offered more. Edit: DonAK corrected me, it was actually Arsene Wenger that turned Fabregas down. All Fabregas' fault :L What did fabregas ever do to upset people so much? He spent all his time being played...

I'll say what I said in the Andres Iniesta thread. Blaming individual players for the teams lack of performance is not going to get us anywhere. Football is a team game. The team is only as good as the sum of it's parts. The players are only as good as the players around them allow them to be...

Against PSG, the team actually looked better overall when Xavi came on. Believe it or not, but Xavi does actually understand football, in fact he understands it better than most, particularly people on internet forums who think his only contribution to the team is slowing tempo. edit: Xavi's...
