Play the younger players. Pena - dest, Araujo, Mingueza, Firpo - Pedri, Puig, Alena - Dembele, Trincao, brathwaite. Some of these can be good. The older guys are done.

Bartomeu's final parting gift was to somehow analyse Koeman's managerial career and come to the conclusion he'd be Barcelona's saviour.

Bartos last fuck up was keeping Messi. Hundred million in salary and hundred million in lost value. Fuck, another two hundred million down the toilet. Messi is a waste of money right now.

Messi basically stopped playing football this summer.

He doesn't want to be here. You can tell by his body language. You can also tell that he doesn't trust his teammates. He's basically forcing his passes, shots and dribbles. I knew it would be his worst season for us. When you have no motivation and don't want to be here, it's going to affect your performance.

Bartomeu absolutely fucked us over this season. We may not have got 100m plus for him, but we could have got a decent fee and got his massive salary off the books.

Overall it wasn't that bad of a game other than the two defensive errors. Our defense has been a joke for a while and is not getting any better any time soon. Other than that I thought we deserved at the very least a draw but this is football.

Still cautiously optimistic about the showing of our younger players/2nd string players and I see a glimmer of hope. Not much to expect this season anyways, just hoping we will make top 4.

Messi, Busquets, Pique and Lenglet should leave.

Koeman needs to get rid of the seniors. These guys should be making 10 minute cameos at best.
Yes, we know Messi wanted to leave but at least the club and the player can show some professionalism. Those stupid comments must be pretty demotivating.
Just when we think we've turned the corner we are back to square one.
Bring in Pep or Klopp won't make a difference. The squad needs reinvention. We need all the oldies out NOW. Not at the end of the season.

Lol if we laughed at PSG and Madrid for being close to Europa League and we end up playing there next season :lol:.

:lol: Good luck with that. Have you heard Koeman talk about Messi? Man knows who his daddy is.

Koeman made his bed, he will lie in it and get his ass fired. He surely isn't dumb enough to realize the veterans are done. Any manager that watched the team vs Kiev and Ferencvaros saw the team was faster and more motivated.

He just accepted Messi's no1 position in the team.

I think we need to :
- Diversify the offensive actions : Right-Left-Middle, with some unpredictable movements and combinations.
- Improve the quality and placement of shots.
- Use the direct lateral pass from the Right wingback to the Left wingback (or from left to right). This is a powerful weapon against defensive teams. Jurgen Klopp used it very effectively with Liverpool (one of the secrets of their success is the long lateral pass from VanDijk who dictates the tempo and serves the wingbacks and wingers using his long passing range => Pjanic can do that role !
- Messi played a good first-half and had more difficulties in the second-half. I think it's better for him to play 50-60 minutes.

I never thought we turned the corner. We have a pretty easy group. When we actually play a side with a decent defense, we're going to struggle to score. Also, if we play any top side with a good attack, we're fucked. Our defense is a joke. Cadiz barely attacked us, but when they did.... they looked dangerous every singe time.
