2023 Preseason

[Luftstalag14]

What happened to you? Wife left?

I have always been this way toward Madrid. Always.

 

[BusiTheKing]

Ter Stegen good? Meh...already had a few unnecessary risky passes that could have ended badly.

Some nice saves I thought.

 

[Andresito]

Eric and Roberto can stay in the squad for all I care, but for the love of god sub on the other players ahead of them.

 

[Horatio]

Some nice saves I thought.

Really? Remember the one against Rodrygo and Jude. Others were on crossbar.

Dembele can be the best winger in the world.
This guy has everything. Pace, dribbling, technique, shot power, crossing/passing accuracy, both footedness...

If you created a touchline winger in a lab it would be him.

Sorry but there is no way Raphinia is better than this guy even if he does score some goals and is pretty good. Dembele is world-class and that's undisputable. Just make sure he's playing consistently without injury and he will develop into the best winger in the world.

Dembele is clearly not world class, except for his goal it was a lot of mistake and bad execution in his play today.

 

[Luftstalag14]

Hope Christensen and Gundogan just have knocks, please. 🙏

 

[Porque]

Charvy playing this like a LaLiga game.

Gotta ask the question.

Should Eric be coming on for Chistensen?

Should Bob be coming on for Gundagon?

Could we have given some others that chance and a bit of trust?


Otherwise, decent 45. Our team is way more settled than Madrid's. Which is normal considering Camavinga hasn't settled as a midfielder in 2 years, Tchoumeni hasn't in 1 season, and Bellingham only just got there.

It's preseason, a chance to give some young guys who are hungry to prove themselves but again we are to busy giving true deadweight minutes ahead for "Match fitness"

Match fitness ain't going to make dudes like Sergi Roberto and Eric Garcia somehow look like competent backups. Basically wasting everyone's time on that shit.

His aura forced the penalty upwards

 

[mc_lovin]

We were pretty great until the penalty… then the game turned into pure chaos.

Also Dembele annoys me with his decision making.

 

[te amo barca]

Xavi’s amigos have all left the club against his wishes and on their own accord so he’s compensating by relying on his next darlings Roberto and Garcia

 

[Total-Football]

Lawy looking every bit his age. Not optimistic about the future with this squad. Midfield not functioning well for barca standards

Roberto in midfield is fine. Wouldn’t happen if Gavi was fit though. In defence Inigo should get ahead of Garcia if fit, but we need to buy a RB to fix our depth.

Sergi Roberto is a good backup. Doubt some unknown guy from the B team could score a goal in a key Classico for example. Let's not get carried away here.

He hasn't been consistently good in years.

Either when he somehow hits form he gets injured and comes back and you restart the cycle. The Sergi Roberto that was under Lucho and the early parts of EV is long gone and all you got is a permanent broken guy who aged worse than milk.

Nice guy, but very unreliable.
