One thing to add here is that i think the reliance on amigos is directly related to the business side of club as well. It is not really common that club offers "lifetime" deals with key players. We have offered them to every big player. This is because we have really became huge financially and...

Napoli having a good game vs Juventus, they seem really dangerous, gonna be very difficult tie, really hope we will not go there with 3 at back and S.Roberto being one of them.

It is not only manager, its the system that player with his abilities has to fit and the team surrounding him. Salah was not mediocre in Roma, actually Liverpool made him his most expensive signing at the time, but he was in weaker team with attacking trio, who werent Sane/Firmino. Bale was...

exactly, yet there are alot of people demanding instant access to A team for anyone standing a bit out there, like Puig, Alena, Samper etc.

rofl, what? so you are not part of #valverdeout doomgloom squad? I am sorry, i guess there have been countless examples of how fanbase whining has turned the fortunes of a football club around.

Because La Masia is unrealistically idolized and any player with a bit of skill there needs to be promoted right away. It is just another Pep brought fanbase obsession that will not go away.

Nightmarish first half, second half Ibiza just got tired and ended up making many defensive mistakes. Nethertheless this is how tikitaka goes in 2020 against high pressing agressive side. 80% possession, only couple of dangerous moments at the end of game when opponent is tired. Pretty weird...

Rofl, so your suggestion would have been firing Valverde in May while we were on road to treble and having undefeated season? okey buddy.

like 2 drops of water

okey buddy

Funny, considering i actually owned a Lada in my youth and had similar experience (it can go 150, but downhill and it is one scary ride). But i do not think it is correct in this comparison. Its rather driving Lada in a rally and bunch of people constantly saying you are driving too slow, you...

Cannot really think of anything more annoying than "told you so" type of people. Especially considering the expectations people have for the future can be totally different. As for team was going downhill for a long time, what loads of bull. We had won 5 previous games, then lost with benchers...

Rofl, how is it so difficult to see things from different perspective? You just explained in your post how incredibly annoying it would have been for anyone else on this forum to actually participate, as majority belongs to the prophets of the future by "people have been saying that Anfield was...

Lol, he is 17 year old prodigy with very limited experience in first team, what on earth do you expect from him? It is super early for this guy to make any impact on games, even Messi was 18 before he actually got his first start in first team. I think he did fine considering circumstances.

Lol, i think issue here is that this forum overall has been massively biased against Valverde with 10 or so members swimming against the stream. It made me quit actively posting here, because although Valverde surely had its limitations, on most of part I was okey with his management right until...

I think Vidal was a beast, he is clearly better player than Rakitic at the moment, sure he may not have as fluent technique, but he is always a threat to goal and seems to link up really nicely with Messi, not to mention his give it all attitude in both defense and attack. Love him. Otherwise...

Cannot wait for this game, feels like beginning of new season really.

Both are great strikers and club legends, don't see any point in those comparisons, hopefully we still have not seen the last of Suarez, although i do think his days as starter are over.

I remember that during Peps squad, we almost always ran alot less than opponents, think Pep even mentioned it in some interview, that having the ball and spreading it around means opponents have to waste more time and energy chasing the ball, which means our players will be more fresh entire...

It is really amazing how polarized the world has become in recent years and in a twisted way, the liberal vs conservative agenda, that blames others for all sins in the world has transformed into pro and anti Valverde arguments in context of Barcelona football club. I do not know who qualifies...
