Not a new direction, just some adjustments. Mourinho also beat Pep in 2010 and everyone thought it's all over for ''tiki-taka''. But Pep came back stronger from that next season, same style but just some adjustments to make it work against Mourinho's tactics too. He can and will do the same for...

So reaching a CL final, a cup final and winning the league in the same season just counts for nothing? There's so many factors that go into every competition, one less mistake from Zinchenko in the final and Pep would've won the CL. The fact is that his style still works, he wouldn't be making...

I would. The way we play is always more important than results to me. Of course things evolve and change, but it's possible to change things in small ways, without completely changing your style to be like whatever is successful in the current moment for other teams. Pep with Man City is the...

Fast, direct football is not part of Barca's identity and never will be. We will always play possession football, it's what makes Barca what it is and not some other random club. We should stick to our identity, not chase the ''meta'' that is currently successful. Every team has its highs and...

Exactly the scoreline that I predicted... Bayern had mercy on us, it could've been a lot worse if they tried harder. We're a long way off from competing with actual European giants. Let's hope for a top 4 La Liga finish this season, and hopefully we'll at least make it out of the CL group. Best...

After the last PL game people here were actually saying United are trophy contenders and have a good chance in the CL this season :lol: Ole is an amateur manager, they're going nowhere with him

Why are you guys mad at Pique lol, it's Koeman who decides the lineup. Should Pique pretend to be more injured so he doesn't get picked? Or should he just straight up refuse? Of course he'll play if he's asked to.

I don't mind it tbh, definitely an upgrade over this season's kit. Not as good as the UCL kit tho

We already had those ultimate battles during the crazy El Clasico after El Clasico era. Nothing today would match up to those games anyway. Both players now went to an environment that's comfortable for them - Ronaldo is back in the club that idolizes him and Messi joined his buddies in Paris.

Yep. They play the best football in the league by far under Pep.

God no.

I think they tried to, but he didn't want to go to West Ham permanently

That match is already happening but Messi isn't in the squad today

Okay that was actually a decent goal I guess

United look just as devoid of any ideas as always, Ronaldo won't change that. Ole is just not a good manager. On the flipside, in the City game there have been numerous chances already that Ronaldo could've put away if he joined them. Man made the wrong decision.

60 million could get us Bernardo Silva or Laporte. If we buy Olmo over either of those two...

So happy for him. I'll keep supporting him as a player now and always.

Most sensible post I've read on this forum in a while. I completely agree, there are valid criticisms to be made about Garcia and his most recent performance but all these couch sports analysts acting like they can tell with one look that Garcia doesn't have the ''physique'' or ''talent'' to...

We lost Wijnaldum because PSG offered him double the wages we did, what does that have to do with Laporta not fully rating Koeman? And Luuk De Jong is literally a loan to patch the missing striker spot, because of our current injuries. Not like it's some massive signing.

You also have to take into account of who is available. Considering how little we could afford this summer and who was available - Garcia was the best we could get. And this also applies when selling, we can only sell players that other clubs are actually interested in. Big surprise, but...
