Seen nothing to convince me this ain't a purple patch just yet
You don't go from being washed to useful at 36
Just a matter of how long it lasts. Might be long enough to get Barca somewhere near a title but we will see
Well, I guess you must be pretty new to this football thing. If so, it's nothing to be ashamed about.
Don't pick and look at just one specific player. Look at the whole team and compare to what you saw last season (if you were following our games). You know in recent couple of seasons some ppl here wanted to ship out like 60-80% of our players - Rafi, Lewa, Gavi, FDJ, Fati, Ferran etc because most of the time they seemed useless, finished or underperforming (I too wanted some of them out).
When you look at our squad today as we speak, it is, on paper, objectively WEAKER than last season. Key players like TS, Araujo, Christensen injured. No Gundogan, no Felix, Roque loaned out, no big signings. Yet the difference is like night and day. Or more like between crap and gold. So what happened? The answer is, our players looked like crap because virus of xaviball got deep into their systems and turned them from footballers to zombies. After Xavi quit, doctor (or more like, miracle man) Flick came in and applied the anti-xaviball vaccine.
I repeat, because it apparently needs repeating. It's not just one player that looked useless or finished. Most of them did.
Like TemporaryFan said, Lewandowski is just himself... AGAIN. And so is Rafinha... and Pedro... and all the others from the first team.
At this point I can't wait for Gavi, FDJ, hell, who knows maybe even Fati to get match fit, become xaviball-free and turn back into quality players.
