Few times today he has enough pace to try and win ball early but still get back in and cover if doesnt make it.

Been too long Barca defenders get drawn out fail to win it and are nowhere to be seen until opposition score or fuck it up.

He kept up with Isak easily today when Lenglet was falling behind. Kept up to Williams too the other day against Bilbao. Much needed pace in defence at last.

Even in worst season in 15 years, with no hope we get 2 jackpots with Pedri and Araujo. Mingueza is also good, really like that guy. Fati last season.

I bet if Barca didn't buy 50 percent of players from last few season, we would be is same situation now.

Yep. A lesson to be learned. Best and most promising players are basically the ones from Barca B or low money buys from proper scouting work. Only exception is De Jong.

Yeah, imagine if we had the foresight to know which players will turn out great and we should buy and which won't and should be skipped. We would have a great advantage over other teams.

Even these guys wouldn't be playing if Pique was healthy. It would be Lenglet and Pique every big game.

Also forgot to mention Puig.

Barca could have 70% players from La Masia, or young Spanish talents and rest of to be WC.
Now we have 15 players that are having great money, no market value and they are mediocre at the best.

Shame Barca didn't get Ferran Torres , Olmo, Asensio, Adama, Hermoso or others.

Cant remember when I was excited about Barca signing players.
But again , who was our president...

You don't have to be smart enough to know that Coutinho,Griezmann,Arda Turan,Gomes,Lenglet are mediocre players.

Easy to say now.. that's why it's hindsight.

Coutinho and Griezmann aren't mediocre players, at least they weren't at the time we bought them. One could argue those were always going to be misfits.

Gomes had a good WC and Lenglet did well for Sevilla, was also rather solid under Valverde.

Was never sold on most of the list even, but wish it was that easy.
