Guys, do you think Thiago Alcantara would have made a difference if he had joined us this January considering what has been happening to liverpool since he joined?

Thiago is not the problem facing Liverpool. Liverpool's problem is the injury to their 1st choice defenders. If Thiago had come to Barca, he'll definitely improve our midfield because he's an upgrade on Pedri. He can shoot, and doesn't depend on #PasstoMessi like Pedri.

chairman,

how far been a while

Are you saying Messi's career at Barcelona have both been a blessing and a curse? A curse in the sense that other players have failed to take initiatives especially in attack, always looking to rely on his brilliance.

Krasid:
Oga keep mute and stop explaining nonsense. We are talking young players here, so common sense should have told that generational meant young players who would most likely dominate the next generation with what he have seen so far(generational talent not player). Amongst the current young players Mbappe and Haaland are above the others in terms of skill set and talent and would most likely dominate the next generation. Or we should put Messi and Ronaldo in generational bracket when we are talking strictly about young players? For your own good I hope Messi retires, so that you will stop bringing him up in every conversation. The generation of Messi and Ronaldo is sadly coming to an end, the new generation has already started and the comparisons are already being made. We won't wait till 6 or 7 years before we judge them; they will be be judged every week from now till 8/9 years as was the case of Messi and Ronaldo.

Btw, you still haven't answered what Haaland has to do to be world class. Or is Mbappe the only world class young player we have today?

Truth is, your points are valid but the "likeliness" of those players you refer to as generational talents is still on the edge. Anything could happen and they lose that touch of brilliance, within a jiffy. Of course, you and I know practical examples of players that seemed to be the next best thing but became flops later on.

To me, I believe it's fair to place them within the world-class reach until the next 3-5 years when the known phenomenons are no more.

English Language seems to be the problem here.

Players that have not even shone for good 3 years are already being tagged "generational"

Mbappe has only been the best of his peers for maybe over 2 years only.

What happens if for any reason Mbappe changes club and then flops from 2021 to 2030?

Joviegghead??

Is he on ban?

Ronald Koeman : I don't know if I really have to say this but.. We'll beat Cadiz to compensate the people of Barcelona for what happened on Tuesday.

"Most likely dominate the next generation."

The phrase "most likely" already renders your submission worthless as toilet paper.

He has not dominated a generation yet and that is why you are using the phrase "most likely"
His generation has not gotten to the top yet.

By the time they do, then their era begins.


As for Halaand, what is the special achievement he has made?
He scored goals for 2 seasons like Immobile and he's world class already?
He's on his way to be world class but let him do it for 4 or 5 seasons consistently.

You just shot yourself in your foot with that Immobile comparison. Where was Immobile when he was 20 yrs? The same Immobile who played for the same Dortmund team and was considered a flop is what you are comparing to Haaland who equalled Immobile's total Bundesliga tally in 23 minutes on his debut. How many UCL goals does Immobile have at 31 (9 goals), whilst Haaland at 20 is already on 17 goals; was the 2nd top scorer last season despite his team being eliminated in the R16 and is the current topscorer this season ahead of household names like Lewa, Messi, CR and other "world class" strikers. Immobile only started becoming relevant when he moved to Lazio, he wasn't beasting a top 5 european league/UCL at 20. Infact, none of your current "world class" strikers was this dominant in the UCL at 20. Yet you just opened your mouth to say Haaland is not yet world class. Your matter tire me aswear.

You people can now see what we face now abi That man should bury his head in shame The only way he can compensate a little is winning a trophy which is almost unlikely

It doesn't matter what Immobile was at 20 years old.
I did not rate him as world class, perhaps you need to employ the services of an interpreter as you read.

My point is that Immobile wouldn't be regarded as world class yet he's had 2 good seasons.

Haaland has had only 2 good seasons also. I need up to 4 or 5 seasons of consistency before I confidently categorize him under world class.

Even If Messi, Suarez, Griezman, Benzema, Lewy were not as dominant as 20 years old but have done it for over 10 years, you can't put Haaland who has done it for 2 years in their class yet.

Be patient and wait for him to rise and cement his place.

We have seen many players who came out guns blazing and fizzled out after 2 seasons.


The consistency factor should be a very essential one in this categorization.


You are obviously still stuck with this "likely to dominate" mindset.

Zidane’s mentality on the team

Zidane’s mentality on the team

Then why are we on the same points technically in the league?

Why did we perform better than them in the Super Cup and the Copa Del Rey?

Wait first now, koeman has not played his remaining games, besides Zidane defeated him and also defeated atm


Hmmmm, Zidane might have intentional exited those competition in order to save strength for la liga since he has a slim squad, besides koeman didn’t win any of those competition, so does it even matter?

I honestly think that Barca Bars and Madrid have equal chances if Athletico actually slip up.

It all depends on which team is able to win games and avoid slip ups.
We have actually had a very good run in la liga in the last 2 months,

In our last 12 la liga games we have had like 10 wins and 2 draws.

Call it against the minnows if you would.

Our problem is losing against big teams.

Madrid's own problem is dropping points against small teams.

Overall I might give them a slight advantage but we do have a chance.

I feel they don't understand his style of game,he's not used to their dirty kick and rush football.The trolling on twitter yesterday was something else.

Which one is Pedri that you are just calling anyhow,na only Messi Pedri they pass give?

Why are you concerned now that it involves Pedri?

Saying Barcelona relies on pass-to-Messi tactic has always made much sense until Pedri got involved?

The other players accused of pass-to-Messi, don't they pass to other players too?

ddippset:
Apart fron the VAR factor, Why?

I wonder o. If not for numerous controversial VAR issues last season, they probably won't have won. Numerous dubious penalty called in favor and never against. Offside goals allowed in favor and never against.

Let's see how this season plays out.

They probably shouldn't have won against Vallladolid yesterday. Valladolid couldn't convert a lot of glith edge chances and were eventually punished.

So we will see who stumble first to the finishing line.

I'm not sure you understand me, what I'm is Pedri doesn't use the pass-to-messi tactic, I've never seen him directing all his balls to Messi.

This is my personal observation too, yet they are accused of pass-to-Messi.

The same lineup that messed up against PSG?

Is there no punishment for poor performance or is it that the squad is so rotten we do not have any competent alternative?

Quite worrisome.

What else do you expect from someone that rewarded them with 2 days mini holiday after such disasterous performance
