Though the result is not good. I see hopes in Barcelona. The two new home grown forwards, Fati and Perez, look impressive. Sad but we should face the truth that we should play players who are over 30 less and give chance to the youngsters who got talent. ( Same for midfield and defenders ).
@ustat777 He is absolutely trash. I have been complaining about him on this site for amlost 2 years now and have gotten all kinds of negative responses. Ppl have to understand that out of all the top teams (Man city, Live, Tottenham, Real, Atletico, PSG, Juve, Bayern) barca have by far the worse coach. He does not understand the concept of "no risk no reward" and playes it safe 100% of the time. Wore his team down by playing the same lineup almost every game without rest on his first season out of fear of loosing the league. Started to rotate more on his second but still very predictable. He chose the slowest possible players and an injured suarez against a liverpool team who he knew were gonna go all in and would be very vurnerable on the counter-attack. How can ppl still protect him?
I wish Barca had two professional CBs (like City and Liverpool) instead of these two handball maestros. And I also wish Puig was given chances like Fati.
Messi or no I hope Barcelona has a terrible season...just for the way they treated Coutinho and now Rakitic. Plus Busquets is awful, I have a feeling if that guy had just one leg he'd still be in the team just bcz he is Catalan...hilarious...
@moo13 Hope all you want but once Messi, Suarez and DemBale return to action, we will make it to the top 4 and secure that juicy UCL spot, mark my words!
coutinho is a genius dribbler with a deadly shot range wich makes him verry efective when he has the ball because he disrupts.the opponents defenders and opens up spaces. On the other hand, he is not fast, he does not have good of ball movement or football iq IMO thus making him wortheless when he does not have the ball. U do not need a player like coutinho when u have messi, griezman will do 100 times better, and coutimho will do just fine as a 10 in bayern.
@moo13 you are a god damn moron, Coutinho have been bad more than good since joining and Rakitic have also been inconsistent over the last 2 seasons, AND he's getting old so cashing in on him would be wise in for more reasons than to keep him.
There's a reason why you aren't running any of the big clubs, wishful thinking doesn't work in the real world. Go play football manager buddy
@Flash_is_back I agree with most of the things u said. I have complained about rakitic for a whole year now. However the "why dont u do it" argument is the most moronic piece of language that can be used anywhere. By ur logic, no one should talk about coaches because they are not coaches but in reality there is a reason why those coaches who "know everything" fail all the time. By ur logic, no 1 is allowed to complain about the pressident because "if u know better than why dont u become president?"... See my point? Please do not use the "why dont u do it" argument anymore, it makes my skin crawl every time i stumble uppon it and makes u sound very dumb!
@Flash_is_back Couintho wasn't even given a proper chance, they gave so much money for him and literally discarded him after two-three games. Rakitic has been the most consistent player last year yet they continually tried to use him as a "bargaining chip" this year and now benched him and all that bcz they don't want to give him a better contract. If you are able to justify the shitty attitude towards certain players (Coutinho and Rakitic are not the only ones) then it is quite sure who is a damn moron...and a damn fucking retarded moron you are indeed.
@moo13 - I agree with you, and I think the board is at fault for the whole mess Barca has gotten themselves into. They gave Neymar that idiotic contract. They were in denial when it seemed certain that he would leave. They only replaced him after everyone knew what they received for him so every player they bought cost 2-3 times than what they would've cost if they acted before Neymar left. They bought Dembélé and Coutinho for an incredible amount of money and they let Valverde to misuse them, Malcom and the whole squad. If this wasn't Barcelona but Valencia, they would've driven this club into the Segunda and financial ruin.

Valverde is trash. Bartomeu must be crazy for giving this squad to such a man.

Moneymar pls come back and save us!
@GioMonaldo he is staying at psg

Griezmann is overrated. Had a good game against a Betis team that came to lose. He'll be non-existent this season.
Griezmann touched the ball 3 times ... 6.7
@Marcmc not MOTM contender
