    Sergio Busquets

    Incredible foresight.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    The forum clowns take these out of context badly translated quote snippets and create a completely made up narrative around it. Like Valverde just chilled around and drill master Setien is now here bringing hard work based on 2 additional training sessions which he ordered only because he is new...

    Messi's comment on Abidal's recent interview

    He should resign because he is a useless sporting director, not because of this gossip saga. Was only offered a job out of pitty anyway after he cried how the club mistreated him after his cancer illness. Club is crying out for a wide forward and pace upfront for 3 years now and all Messi is...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I dislike Pique's personality more than anyone, he is the prototype sunnyboy who was born into gold dust. But he is the least of Barca's problems for now. Last season up until Anfield he was considered the top 2 performing CB in Europe. Getting rid of him is not a priority. Who you going to...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    That's the whole point. He shouldn't be saying stuff like that publicly in the first place. If he decides to go there anyway, then he should do it properly and also name those players. Or don't say anything in public to begin with.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    The sporting director of the club publicly stated many of the players lacked attitute, basically. As a fan you might like to hear this and it's fine if you do. Messi is player and captain of the club. He will defend the dressing room. Maybe if Abidal did his job, we would have a winger by now...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Messi is obviously 100 % right on this as usual. Abidal has no character. If he did, he wouldn't be working under Bartomeu in the first place. Sided with Laporta during last elections, cried about club treating him badly during his illness under Rosell/Barto leadership (he was treated like a...

    Sergio Busquets

    Vidal is the only midfielder who offers something different than "pass pass pass, hold hold hold, pass pass pass", so he appears a good option, especially when he comes on as a late energetic sub, but he's also not good enough at this point of his career and if he played 15 games in a row as a...

    Sergio Busquets

    I don't see any similarities with the 2008 situation. Busquets might be finished but he is not unprofessional and slacking training. Démbéle is the one filling the fine saving box, not the imaginary amigos club. Arthur is the one who goes snowboarding, smoking and partying with Neymar, not the...

    Quique Setien

    Or any other season for that matter. I read multiple times for winning La Liga you don't need more than a lamp post on the sidelines + Messi.

    Quique Setien

    According to your very own words, literally the 100 point record season in 12/13. :lol:

    Quique Setien

    Reading and understanding seems to be a big problem in society nowadays. I said "on the tactical side, Messi is the number one obstacle". What your brain, for reasons unknown, made of it: "Messi is the root cause of all our problems, we would be better off without him." Without Messi, team...

    Quique Setien

    Did not blame Valverde too much, won't blame him too much. On the tactical side, Messi is the number one obstacle in the team and has been for years. 3 coaches in a row trying to work around it somehow and it's impossible. EV came closest and did the most logical in his first season. Lucho...

    Lliga | Round 21: Valencia CF - FC Barcelona 2-0

    The "Barca style" is the biggest myth in football. When you have the 2 most cutting edge central midfielders in modern football history who can assist more than 20 goals a season each, one of them being an all time great dribbling midfielder on top of it, coupled with the best right back in...

    Antoine Griezmann

    "Everyone can put up the numbers with Messi setting up 5 chances per game for Suarez." "Jajajajaja", as the Spanish would say.

    Lliga | Round 21: Valencia CF - FC Barcelona 2-0

    No shit sherlock, Suarez is arguably the best striker in the world in terms of movement, opening up space and linkup with Messi. Now go and celebrate Griezmann's clean touches.

    Frenkie de Jong: CM or DM?

    DM. He has a good burst but he isn't consistently great at breaking lines via dribble like Iniesta nor does he have much of a final ball. His biggest asset is keeping the ball under pressure, combining and passing it through the lines. It has to be him at DM + Arthur + a really good AM who...

    Lliga | Round 17: FC Barcelona - Real Madrid 0-0

    Memory like goldfish. City got battered by Ole and United only a few weeks ago. They'll get battered by Madrid, too. Only Liverpool are on a run.

    Lliga | Round 17: FC Barcelona - Real Madrid 0-0

    Will be a draw. For some reason Barca do better in the Bernabeu than on Camp Nou against these lot.
