La Liga 2023/24

Yamal with Robben like goal? Exaggerating, but when he does these types of things at age of 16, it really is exciting Long way to go though...

Worrying Roque not featuring at all though, only explanation is that hes not good enough yet? Ferran doing absolutely nothing as usual. Hope Felix or Roque comes on for him soon...

This midfield trio of ours look good on paper but doesnt work... De Jong cant be a DM, n Pedri/Gundogan are too similar... hopefully we can find a proper DM in the summer or develop Gavi into one or something...

Have you not noticed that Bilbao is playing their B team? Roque is a kid, a prospect. He won’t be ready, as you say, for at least another year. You think he was brought in as a January backup to Lewa, lol. He arrived in January because he reached age of 18, allowing him an extra 6 months to adapt to cullture, Europe and maybe a few opportunities to show his skills,

Completely misses the 1v1

Our players are feeling it already, dont want this to goto ET we would get beat Bring on Felix for some magic pls...

Wow second game in a row, Felix for Lewand, n fking blackhole stays on Loooool...

Did anyone see the Capello interview? He said Ancelotti is probably the best coach in world as he has won every where and he adapts his strategy based on players he has and he dished Xavi as a coach who says this is the way players must adapt to play his style!

Haha misses the empty net, oh dear...

Yamal with a couple of terrible misses

This is so weird by Xavi, no Balde all game n now both Ferran n Felix on, still nobody playing LW n its just an empty space there, meaning the team has no one to play to but Yamal, wtf....

roflmao, almost rugby tackle into the ref

From MSN, to Villa, Ibra, Eto'o, Henry, Ronaldinho... to now watching a 16yo trying to lead our attack Thx a lot Barto...

gg, finally finish us

The game has stalled. Both teams playing for penalties

Nico has been amazing

Roberto bullied off the ball, no surprise there

Barca 2024 entering Feb team:

(no LW)Lewand/Felix Blackhole(thin air) Yamal

       De Jong Gundo Pedri

kid     kid      Araujo(half injured) Kounde

Funny as...

Bilbao also competing with us officially now for top 4 spot as well Hope we can Raphinha n Balde back asap... or emergency winger in this winter window if possible, we must make top 4

Nico is crazy good. Can't believe he renewed with them

Why wouldn't he renew? Hes Basque, in a great and historical club, best region in the country and a team going forward.

Ambition?

What's he supposed to win at Bilbao? The Copa? Of course he needs to leave to further his own profile

Good point but ambition also happens to be the attempt to take a club like Athletic into a Liga title.

At this rate Xavi will not make until summer if he drops out of top 4.

Time for Mourinho era. Save us senpai

Rather surprised a man who worships futbol the way he does to the point Xavi even confessed he watches Serie C games, has turned out to be from what I get, underwhelming. Obviously its his first job and at a top club but did not see it turning out this way, for some reason.

Inaki was once the Nico but staying at Bilbao made him stagnate and pretty much stalled his development. Nobody cares about him now and his career is basically a what could have been. The same can be said about Muniain who has fallen out of favour with Valverde

This is another good and rather sad point but Valverde this time has a far different approach than he did from 13-17 as its not a strong argument against yours but the internal restructuring of Athletic to his new approach does have youth flourish compared to post Bielsa Athletic where it became about results again.

Muniain

Interesting if Yamal chooses Morocco.. Algeria are hot trash, but Morocco actually has a stacked and organized team
