Barca pre-season 2019

[Riordon]

Calling it early: De Jong-Arthur won't work, occupies the same space. Alena created space for De Jong with his movement, Arthur is searching for the same space as De Jong

 

[te amo barca]

Arthur and De Jong are having the same problem Busi and Arthur had right now. Plenty of time to work on that though.

 

[Riordon]

Arthur is clearly the problem because he don't understand the interior role like last season.

This is the best game I've seen from a Barcelona midfield under Valverde. Just look at the ball movement.

No coincidence it's the one game without Rakitic and Busquets in it.

 

[serghei]

Coutinho thinking this is a circus. Pass the fucking ball you donut.

 

[serghei]

Good match overall by Ousmane.

 

[Vahue]

I'm sick and tired of Coutinho's ball hogging and god awful long shots.

 

[Devils]

Please for the love of god sell Rakitic and bench Busi.

 

[te amo barca]

Copa players are obviously rusty. First game in a while. Can't judge them yet. Arthur is not ready to play vs Athletic though.

 

[xXKonan]

Coutinho every time he gets even remotely close to the box his first instinct is to blast it.

 

[Sorin]

First touch passing is alien to Coutinho. GTFO

 

[te amo barca]

Coutinho is thinking that it is his show...

 

[omidferoz]

You guys are being a bit to hard on coutinho. He is playing fine. Its a almost a b-team and players that are still rusty.

 

[Vahue]

Fucking Rafinha is twice the player Coutinho is.

Early to say, but Frenkie looked way better with Roberto and Alena than with Arthur.

Alena and Roberto are moving vertically for forward runs.
Arthur is freezed and stops once when he gets into the opponent's half.
And moves only left, right... and back.
