Barca pre-season 2017/2018

Horatio

You're welcome
Watched the Barca training session and have to say the team has a really poor shot with their non-dominant foot.

Disgraceful. I only see us getting Dembelé at an outrageous price. And worse they are gonna arrive late in August.
Arda and Gomes still here...
I´m frustrated and beaten.

It's still early on, but the sub team is not even good enough to beat a lower end liga team IMO; which could be a problem for us, yet again.[/QUOTE]

Spot on. Not enough quality depth, varies quite a bit among the positions.

Excellent subs, clear strengths for a club of this level (obviously too short a list):
Mascherano
Cillessen

Valuable utility man, still needs to be established as world-class midfielder:
S. Roberto

Subs you want to play at forward:
MSN need to play all minutes, good thing there will be no more than, what, 64 games? and MSN will continue to all be available

Sub/alternative at RB:


Showing huge promise for the lacking midfield aggression, who knows how ready he is to contribute right now:
Alena

Maybe some of the others can help at least some, but need to show more.

Today we shall see the real state of our team. This will be no friendly. So I am excited to see formation, attitude, skills and game plan.

Have to say I'm surprised that both teams are basically starting their strongest available XIs. Guess a Clasico is a Clasico even in pre-season.

Would've preferred to see Alena in the starting lineup but oh well. We're still two world class players away from challenging on all fronts. Not the end of the world.
