Re: Match Day Thread
I think nearly everyone here has a negative opinion of the board, I wouldn't get into a high horse because you denounced those idiots since that's what everyone else did too. It's only the past 2 transfer seasons that they did a semi competent job. They only have their job because Messi has been carrying them this entire time.

Re: Match Day Thread
I do agree that our transfers on average for many years have been terrible. We have just signed anyone and everyone for exorbitant prices without considering whether that player is at all worthy of being a Barca player and given very little thought to the academy. Really this board should have never gotten to take control of our club. As the great Johan Cruyff kept repeating they do not understand the Barca ethos. Whats done is done though but the bigger problem is there does not seem to be immediate light after the tunnel.
Re: Match Day Thread
Disgraceful performance. Parking the bus against Roma of all teams. And Valverde didnt bring on Dembel even after going 2-0 down.
The complete antithesis of Cruyffian football. 4-4-2 with players standing in straight lines. Absolute disgrace.
And I dont buy the players argument. We have more than enough quality to not PTB against Roma. Just need a better manager.
And my stand throughout the years has once again been vindicated. We cant play Cruyffian football with Messi and he is a liability in big games. To an extent, I empathize with Valverde. He realizes the liability Messi is and has us play defensive football. But the problem is that we have players who are used to playing on the front foot at all times. You cant just ask them to play defensive all of a sudden.

Can count on one hand the games I've enjoyed watching this season. We're 0-2 down and Valverde brings on Andre Gomes.
I'll probably take a break and wait till Valverde is replaced.

Busquets: “We have to go for all the trophies we have left. It wouldn’t be a bad season if we won them, but it’s been tarnished by what happened here in Rome.”
Those 2 trophies shouldn't save Valverde's position at the club because of the quality of football and the embarrasment in Rome IMO

But it will.
Not only him, but more importantly it will save his masters.
Re: Match Day Thread
Yep it's hard to imagine him being sacked since he'd have 2 trophies in his defense which is why I'll be rooting for Sevilla in the upcoming CdR final

Re: Match Day Thread
I couldnt help but marvel at the way Roma pressed. Cant remember the last time we pressed like that. It is such an effective way to defend. Alas, we can never do it with Messi in the team.

We may not be able to press as well as Roma with Messi, but we can definitely press effectively. Not with a 442 though. God knows when Messi will be motivated again, his work rate was good in the 2014-15 season, especially in the second half, but since then he's been a shell of the player he once was, at least effort wise.

We'll probably see a midfield of Coutinho-Paulinho and Roberto. It's shit but our midfield is shit either way, even if Iniesta and Busquets are playing....

Re: Match Day Thread
it could be anything really
I think both Coutinho and Paulinho will start 100%, the third one could be either Gomes, Denis or Roberto
Messi could be rested so I can see a front three of Suarez, Alcacer and Dembele
You never know what the genius of Valverde will come up with tbh

Coutinho has seamlessly integrated into the team. As close to Iniesta as we can get to. Such quality on the ball, and has that killer pass. WATTBA

Valverde literally rotated like 80% of the team, away to Celta?! Lol

433 with Coutinho and Dembele is so far a revelation. Tougher tests lie ahead, but I am optimistic.

It's hard to seriously take anything out of this game because Villarreal was absolutely horrendous but I like our game better without Suarez, the ball seemed to be flowing around quicker which was pleasing to the eye
Griezmann-Dembele
--------Messi--------
IMO this front three will be great, with Suarez rotating /w Dembele if he doesnt leave that is.

Also, Semedo is a wasteman. He offers nothing apart from great technique that he doesn't make use of properly anyway.
