Yeah it can be difficult for a player in his position to impress as this position often has to do a lot of the unseen dirty work, but I've been trying to look at his game and see what he brings to the table really. I mean sure, he's kind of strong I guess, but he doesn't seem to be a physical...

We really haven't seen much of him at all for some reason. I mean okay he came in late and without much of a pre-season..but it seems like we've played Araujo, Kounde, etc. there and he has seen the least game time from the new arrivals. Maybe he just isn't impressing in training so far. Just a...

The silver lining about this line up - Gavi can go Gegenpress on their ass and as soon as he's spent, we can bring on FDJ who will bring not only energy but also a lot of quality as the game starts to get into the last quarter (only relevant of course if the game is still open by then).

I don't mind Christensen over Garcia. I don't really care about his 3-4 'good' games in La Liga. He's a shit defender and weak as hell. He would have gotten sodomized by Bayern. Christensen hasn't looked great, but at least has some height and could pull out an 'average' performance. He just...

His energy and running, his quality in carrying the ball forward and the fact that he's 10^5 times better than the Ancient one and much more experienced than Gavi.

Cannot believe FDJ isn't starting this. That is absolutely shocking.

This is a great time for this game. Relatively low stakes as we are just beginning the CL group stages; we aren't very fatigued, and we don't have too many injuries. Also, it's still early on in the season to get a reality check if we needed one - a thrashing here and we can all get back to...

Yeah, the tendency of the 'younger' generation to speak better English, doesn't really appear in Spain (at least from what I have noticed). The level of Egnlish is very similar to the older population.

I'm actually at the MGM in Vegas rn. I am tempted to put 50 bucks on Barca just for kicks. But I have no idea how sports betting works and how I'd get my money if they won? lol

I'm really being wary of calling out any of our players as the next big thing (incl Fati) but boy....Pedri is looking more and more like he has the makings of being someone as good as David Silva, KdB, etc. This would be something else. He is just unreal.

What an absolute baller move by Madrid. This is the kind of move that indicates how well Madrid is being run right now. Perez is a machine. I think this is the absolute perfect time for them to sell Casemiro. Getting old, have already bought some replacements, a team coming in with a crazy...

It's only the first game of the season. New team and players, any coach would need time to get the setup up and running. Which is why I thought it extremely over optimistic to start dreaming of LL/Cup double, etc. Having said that, Xavi hasn't shown that much in his time so far and so it's a...

Does anybody have a good stream? Got some friends trying to have a Barca watch party :lol:

Let's go! Have been really, really off Barca and football in general all through the summer. Only getting back into the scheme of things last couple of weeks. Managed to get a cheap ticket for tonight's game so headed there now. Really excited to see Barca again after a long time! Btw, didn't...

That's the thing with Dembele though, he never runs fast without the ball. When he has the ball though he seems to have NOS.

Oh wow, last I heard Raphinha was a closed door and there was no chance we were getting him. Interesting. Alonso.....smh. Thanks!

Have really been away from Barca and football in general after the season ended. What's going on in summary? I hear Dumbele is staying. I am guessing we're done for the summer with Kessie and Christensen and now what's pending, FDJ sale? How are we looking? Did Lewandowski fall through?

Pretty meh final, but couldn't expect anything else with Kyrgios in the final. He's just not good enough and he's mentally weak as shit. Doesn't deserve to win anything with a mentality like that of a highschooler.

What a boring semi that was. I'm afriad the final won't be too interesting either. Easy 3-1 win to Djokovic I think.

Anyone got a good stream?
