Did you watch the warm up video? It's a lack of respect to the coaching staff and for all of those young players who wish to get the opportunity to get on the pitch at Barcelona, and his teammates who take this seriously and train hard.

All im saying is we should have sent his ass back to the bench and got someone like Balde, Eric or Torre to warm up and get subbed on.

He only got some minutes because 2 CBs are injured. That's it.

Besides, Garcia was awful vs Madrid and had to be tought a lesson. If anything, Garcia should also be sold in the summer, but doubt anyone wants a CB that is so terrible 1 vs 1 just because he is occasionally cute on the ball.

You're one of the good posters around here, but this is way over the top. Can't we all see the positives in the starting line-up vs Villareal? We have to complain about some players getting some game time at the end of the game, at 3-0, only because we don't want to risk problems with a soon to be world class CB in Kounde?

We can send him in the stands or keep him on the bench, but then what good does that do? He'd probably want it that way. Free chance to chill and relax while the cheques keep coming as if he is one of the best in the world. :lol:

CB line-up should be Araujo, Kounde, Christensen + a new CB, preferably one who is experienced and has good physical attributes, since all of these three are young.

Garcia has to be sold, and Pique needs to be out in the summer as hard as that may be legally.

You can't reasonably make a good case for Garcia right now, guy folds against any decent attacker consistently.

Pique right now is a good punishment for bad performances. You play like shit at CB? We'll play even this useless fool instead of you to teach you a lesson. Bonus points even, the crowd boos him and ruins what's left of his image (too bad some fans are complete morons and applauded him for no actual reason), maybe that will increase our chances to get him out the door in the summer.

Good reaction by Xavi to punish the bad performers vs Madrid if you ask me. All of them were on the bench for good reason. Raphinha, Dembele, Garcia, Busi were probably the worst of the lot in the Clasico.

If Erik ten Hag can send Ronaldo to the reserves surely Xavi can do something about Pique's pathetic effort.

Also @serghei it's not a small issue either. You cannot have your senior players pull off shit like that without any consequences. That's a pretty easy way for a manager to lose the dressing room eventually.

I've never been the biggest fan of Eric Garcia, but you also sure as hell can make a bigger case for him than Gerard Pique right now. Eric Garcia is currently a better player. Eric Garcia did play better versus Inter than Pique. Eric even saved Pique trying to throw the game a couple of times..

Honestly, dude looked like he was sleeping on the bench. This is also not good, from a leadership perspective, to have players who are entirely frozen out of the squad. Every player should feel as if he may come on at any second of the game.

Anyhow, why tf is he still at the club? Just fuck off already. These old farts are ruining their status as legends by overstaying their welcome at the club.

Trying to work out why he had his laces in a knot. Some serious accounts of self sabotage going on.

And don't think anyone missed the beer belly.

He looks like he doesn't want to be out there, and he said he'd leave if he wasn't needed like 2 years ago... So what's the hold up? Retire already...
