Told couldnt compete while berating them on sideline in terrible way if made mistakes. Jumping about like a demented frog as if everything from the players to the weather stop him winning everything. He leaves... and players comment on training, commitment and how much happier now are. It is...

Keep him away from Pique. Pique will see nothing but money through association.

He is saying that Flicks tactics are better and Flick has made them more competitive... Xavis 'entourage' be moaning to media again and wont like it. Like he has commented on training improved etc in past. Pedri is not daft he know what is saying... He wont be aiming to disrespect Xavi but...

There is no chance anyone thinks they could get Balde for 40m or that Barca would even sell.

Maybe Simeone is genuine and sees taking Barca on in fast paced end to end game is to their advantage physically after the week Barca have had and playing on Sunday. Easier said than don though to attack when likes of Cubarsi, Pedri and FDJ are there to take ball away from you.

Sure read he is heading to City.

Alfon for Celta on that LW been an absolute menace. Great goal also.

He will have his pick of teams if wants to leave Bilbao. Top player. Will be even better in teams with other threats up top. Bilbao barely have a striker and no teams are choosing to double up on his brother other than him. Could still end the season with 20+ goals assists and teams are wary...

He wont be back in this season. Too much of a risk in settled side.

Inter were not great yesterday and fighting for a league title. Still think Bayern are favs to go through.

The issue with Nico will be him not having a sure starting role at Barca when he could get that elsewhere.

Diaz is a good player.. lacks with production.. but would do well at Barca. But 29 this year and Barca needing more of that inbehind threat of pace cant see why would ever move for him if the choice was him or Nico for example.

Pedri taking more indirect shots at Xavi. Feels noticeable that Barca players have become more opinionated and outspoken lately. Wonder if that is also Flicks influence coming through a bit and wanting that arrogance/ belief in there that other top teams have.

Tough game particularly being 3rd game in a week after such a short rest after intl break.. but got to deal with that. The easy way out is the ready made excuse of tiredness.. it is there on a plate. But this Barca team has more to them than that.

Yeah Abidal unbelievably calm defender and didnt just try to win a tackle he would read it and try to win posession as calm as you like. Had debates back and forth with one of my mates about him who didnt rate him all too highly. Then went to a Barca game.. think one of the Arsenal ties.. and...

Those Basque CBs are aggressive as fuck. See it all the time with them coming through Bilbao and Sociedad. Vivian now is the same. Le Normand etc.

That comment sums up why he had to be given more freedom than he was under Xavi. Need ball to touch the feet as many times as can through Pedri and not posted up as a manequin in final third waiting on others to get ball. It was bizarre the way Xavi thought was best way to play him even if he...

Abidal was far far better than Gio or Roberto. Top top player in last few seasons at Barca. Probably the best defender seen live for Barca. Granted that was a game he played CB. Would be Abidal or Masch for who was most impressive live but that also depends on what games land on. Personally...

That wasnt a chant it was the commentary in the CL final and more down to how many late goals they scored in big games that treble winning season. Man Utd were scoring more goals in league etc over the next few seasons.

Reports are Flick doesnt fancy him much for Barca.
