Although, wont be that harsh on cancelo he's a rb ffs. I'd rather transform to 352 with cancelo on the right with lamine in front and kounde behind them when the game calls for it. Xavi setup is great in the back but either abidal role on lb and alves(cancelo type) on rb.

Well more good than I expected, very proud of the team, but Can We Just Not Play Cancelo Full Back!?
I asked this for 2 months, I said Play Fort he did amazing against Bilbao. Why a professional exfootball player like Xavi can be so blind? " He promotes youngsters " lol

Another big game lost because of Cancelo.
This team has potential, they need a good striker an agresive DM to just click but we need also Fort or just buy a fucking LB that can defend.
Are we insane? Do we have low IQ? Why we have Another Alves Alba scenario? Just fucking buy a star as forward and stop using fullbacks that cannot defend!!!! They already costed us 3 UCL and 4 humiliations.

I am really hopeful with our young players, they are the goods.
What we need to do is get rid of many of our older players and bring in some good veterans that will lead and inspire on the field like Puyol used to do.
What manager could we get?
I dont think men like Tuchel or Ten Hagg or Nagelsmann will do well at barca.
We need Laporta to really fucking beg Pep to comeback, if we cant get Pep then why not go for someone Like Scaloni?

Even with Xavi going I think there's time to have an honest conversation about the state of this squad. I think we tend to overrate a lot of our players as well.

I think the only position group that we actually have quality + depth at is CB whilst we need competition/depth for FB positions, a starter at CDM and probably a starter at CM too if Frenkie is to be sold. You cannot rely on Pedri's health and him strolling around like a 40 year old Joaquin on the pitch when he's fit.

Lewandowski is washed and our wingers apart from Yamal absolutely reeks with Ferran and Felix being absolute clowns that get hyped up based on one great performance in 10 games. Raphinha is decent and chips in with important goals, but his overall play for the most part is mediocre.

I'll never accept that Rudiger is a top defender. There are so many yellows he just doesn't get in Spain because he is a Madrid defender. And today that was some prime Lenglet shit with the penalty not given.

I get that he is a bit of a cunt so if you are a Madrid fan you may like him on your team, but overall, poor centre by elite standards.

Scaloni is available after WC26 (y)

I agree, we have a good core of starters by miracle with the likes of Cubarsi and Yamal and it's a matter of filling in those holes for squad depth and improving the starting positions like CDM.

If that Nike deal is true, we really need that 100m bonus.

Don’t mind too much to be honest. At least we can fully build towards next season without having delusions about still being in the race.

We should do everything in our power to bring in Bruno Guimaraes. Sell Pedri/De Jong and another forward like the likes of Ferran and bring a fucking DM for once.

See if under the couch you find some more change and buy Nico. Too bad we only have a washed striker upfront and not much else ,cuz I would have binned the polish ballerina too.

Team was fairly comfortable today though. Not normal to lose at half time Frenkie and Christensen which is our most balanced mid.

I think Xavi has undone himself in the business end this week with his Pedri bias. I am not his biggest fan but Roberto had an excellent game in Paris, and should have come on here.

You just can't make changes based on intangibles, when someone is clearly far from full fitness. And it is unfair to Pedri himself as we will have fans and media turning against these showings.

Were in the peak end of the season, and we know that Pedri has absolute quality in his boots, but then he takes a ton of time to reach match fitness after long injuries. When was the last time he had a full pre-season?

Yes point at everyone not at Xavi and his favorite clown Cancelo.
The team is poor in attack but we had a 2-1 lead while actually being more good then that clown walks in the box like is some beach.
You will need Maradona R9 Messi and CR7 to cover for that clown.

Just start with the bigger problems. We need a striker and Cancelo gone, a DM, we don't have the money to build some fatasy team. But they already spent 40 on Vitor so we better use him, let cacelo go and focus on DM position.
