La Liga | Round 10: Atletico Madrid - FC Barcelona 1-0

I think if Xavi trains a couple of months he'd be a better CM than Messi right now.

 

[SmilerBam]

Messi will be gone in July and so will Koeman.

Koeman should go faster.

Let's hope so. Barca with a competent manager and 100m more in the accounts is a start for a true rebuild. We need to cut more high earners, not just Messi.

This Messi is hard to watch.

Keeps trying to play same way he did 5 years ago but his legs dont have it.

god forbid he gets subbed

 

[gatsu]

Its not just about the players or the coach. We are still tied to the glory of the past or to be more specific to Messi's Bar?a. We need a new project with new pivotal players

 

[serghei]

I respect Tricao for at least trying to shoot.

 

[kattanib]

Any achieving team has attackers with good chemistry, each does his role. We do not have that. I would not look into buying an expensive defender until this problem is solved.

 

[Rory]

fucking hell that trincao shot wasn't even a deflection

No doubt. Our defense is "led" by Pique. Our midfield is "energized" by Busi. Our attack is "commanded" in everything by Messi (the midfield too). THat's the same central axis as in 2008. 12 years ago.

That's not a fucking rebuild.

Even without the 100m the core of team could be improved by signing Garcia, Alaba, Bernat, Wijnaldum and Depay etc all on frees.

Those lot are not stars but all improve squad.

The team need a focal point in attack and leadership at back. Lack it badly.

 

[kattanib]

Genuinely Fati has been our most consistent and influential player this season

 

[Daisymorr]

We have no cutting edge at all.. so poor.

 

[xXKonan]

Bob looks injured.

For sure, and it's a good start for a club low on funds. Barca is still an attractive proposition. Especially post Messi where players will get a chance to make a name for themselves at one of the biggest clubs.

Wijnaldum would be Barcas best midfielder by a distance and brings mobility and athleticism.
