Fati needs to rediscover himself that's why a year under de zerbi is a project we all Hope works ouy, Felix has been Laporta's wet dream since 2021
He might have regressed somehow from his days at benfica but if he can find his confidence under us we'll savour him, even xavi's four mid systems might favour him though I hope we see less of that this season

Playing behind lewy but also as a midfielder would be great to see

oliverano:
With everyone fit, Ensicio is a bench player though. They have Mitoma on the left with Ensicio as deputy. But Ensisio can also play in the middle and on the right. On the right, they have Solly March

In the center is where Fati could come in but they still have Joa Pedro, Welbeck, Undaz, Ferguson and Bornanote...

With Ensioso injured and Dezerbi playing with two strikers plus they're in four competitions including the Europa League, I think Fati will play alot. He just needs to be injury free.

under is no longer at Brighton the only person in that middle with Quality is Welbeck the rest are below Fati and I think De Zerbi knowes what he wants

andrewbaba44:
How much is the salary after tax and all these things ,like how much is he taking home aside those taxes ?

128k weekly

Lana1:
Has to be village people if Xavi doesn't make ot out of that group

Na sack letter he go collect na

pu7pl3:
We lost Courtois and Militao to injury for the season

I thought they will be back by February

andrewbaba44:
I just hope the salary is false ,because what nonsense is that

No wonder players no Dey gree commot for this club

It not 300k but 268k before VAT
And it was Laporte that offered him that contract even you too will offer him That amount

His transfer to Brighton is great given he would likely Grow under De Zerbi if he works hard and Xavi never opposed his move means there is a break in relationship between him and Ansu after his father rubbish talk last year
Laporte and Xavi are playing safe. If he was sold and he then goes to another club and blossom there no way we won't land on Xavi plus Laporte

Chasicolis:
He will still seat on the bench for Mitoma.
He can't even play Central, even if he tries, he can't bench Welbeck or whoever has been there.
His hope is on fatigue or injuries on their 11 or 9.
He should find a club that he walks into the first 11 instantly.

He probably play where Ensico or play the Torssard role which is a false Nine

pu7pl3:
See broke Barca with a more complete squad than us but still making moves.

E no go better for Bastard Perez and Ancelotti

Which complete squad
Alonslow
Roberto aren't football players

47c3ee:
Then why is he on the bench for your dead team?

coach formation Xavi doesn't use a Lw

jpmoriarti:
I will so much hate it if Ansu Fati leaves the club. He is my favorite Barca player.

But maybe a loan might help him, since Xavi hasn't shown much faith in him so far.

I would have love him to move to Seville on loan

Dollywood:
Rodri is 27, while Caicedo is 21. Rodri isn't worth 200m. The point is that Caicedo is already in the top 3 best DMs in the league at the age of 21. That hype inflated his worth. Of course, he has the potential to be better than Rodri.

Rodri, at Caicedo's age, was an unknown. Draw the lines, and you'll understand why he's worth that much.

Mind you, Caicedo having that much potential doesn't mean he can't flop or misuse his talent.

When did u started watching football
Rodri that was running the show at Villarreal and ATM please don't even compare dem Caicedo is all about energy and Tackle Rodri is everything apart from the Fact that he is slow hi currently the best midfielder in the world

Caicedobets:
U belong to europa same as Villa so they see u as mates.No respect for u

Your club don't belong anywhere
Now run along clown😟

Dollywood:
Bro, relax. It's the MLS

Have u watched any of inter Miami Game without Messi does guy are poor Even Eyimba will beat them

andrewbaba44:
They know the vibes

Rodri is next

If Dem Caiceido is 115m
That means Rodri is definitely 200+m

FirstbornWds:
Apology letter/form received. The rest of y'all should do the same and forward to me. I am compiling to send to the SHARK

Maybe you should calm down after 18 la Liga games we will review your take on 🦈

I don't understand Xavi Sha but I pray we win

I have lost count of how many times Messi has made me say "How is that even possible?".

Every time he comes up with something extraordinary. It could be just a pass or a through ball, but the execution and the timing is so immaculate, and one can only wonder how he can see the passes he does.

In this situation, you would expect most players to play the ball back to the player on the edge of the box, or even if he can see the pass to the wide player, it would be behind him. But Messi being Messi, plays it through to the wide player and gets on the end of the cross to finish it.

He makes the game beautiful as we know it.

Dollywood:
Down to the manager and his tactics. Try to watch a Spurs game, and you'll see midfield a excellence from Pape Mate Sarr, Maddison, and Bissoumma.

I'm rooting for Spurs this season in the prem. I've been a lowkey Spurs fan in the Premier League, and this season, their new manager is smoking hot.

We have a better midfield than Spurs, yet we play like garbage. It's always difficult for Barça to play an attacking game with fluidity.

When I watch Spurs, I always have goosebumps. Ange Postecoglou (Spurs Manager) plays with a two-inverted full-back. This means he orders his fullbacks to invert into the midfield. And truly, when you watch Spurs, they dominate the midfield well.

He plays with wide midfielders. Son and Kulu play wide, which they don't usually do. They're used to being an inside forward. Especially Son.

Tottenham Hotspurs are playing beautiful football even against a low-block team, Spurs were creating chances after chances. They could have easily won 4-0 today if their attackers were more clinical.

My point is that Xavi isn't innovative enough. He recycles his tactics and doesn't allow an expressive football for the youngsters to express their creativity.

I mean, playing with a disciplined shape isn't bad, but Xavi isn't a manager of Barcelona's level.

I hate to say this, but Xavi is not a manager that can take the club to the dreamland like Pep, Enrique, and Rijkaard.

I don't know better than Xavi, but watching Barcelona's game these days is boring. There's nothing new in the team's tactics.

There is no tactical innovation; our pattern is always identical to the previous match, and teams easily defend against us. Barcelona has always been a terrific team, but these days, we struggle to create chances. Like we hardly create any clear-cut chances.

We shuffle and recycle passes here and there. No creativity and innovation.

That's why we got trashed out of the UCL last season. Even an average Manchester United knocked us out last season.

Try to watch a Spurs game, and you'll see how they delicately whip low crosses into the box and how they break presses with a one-two pass with their pivots. The way their midfielders escape pressure in a tight space. Damn.

Honestly, the only creative player in our squad is Pedri. He's the only player that can wiggle out of tight spaces and press resistance.

Also, Barcelona crumbles under teams that play with high intensity. Why? We're too poor in the middle of the park. No team can beat City with a high press. City players are programmed to be press-resistant.

Eddie Howe said there is no press ritual effective against City. Their ball retention is so high, like the ball is glued to their feet, or their brains are programmed to a level that they know where to be, what to do, and what not to do.

We have one of the best training facilities in the world, and I wonder what Xavi teaches his players.

Listen, I've also realized our play is not Barcelonaesque. We play more like Real Madrid these days.

In the preseason, Xavi said Arsenal played with much intensity. Of course, he'd say that. We're so bad when we're pressed behind. The UCL is all about intensity and pressure. Against Arsenal, we could hardly string passes together without losing the ball.

If we can learn how to play through the press and be press-proof, then we're one step closer to immortality.

Anyways, I hope Xavi proves me wrong. However, I don't like Raphinha that much. We're kidding ourselves if we think we can reach the UCL quarter-final with Raphinha as a starter.

I'm not saying he's bad, but man.

I'm out.

See epistle
Raphinha is bad

20 mins ago: SPORT reports that Balde is a doubt for the Villarreal game.

10 mins ago: Romero reports that he suffers from a sprain and nothing else.

5 mins ago: Javi Miguel confirms that Balde is OK and will start against Villarreal.

Never a quiet day at Barcelona 😅!

I was here

Pedri is injured
Lo celso link thunder fire Xavi
Cancelo deal is frustrating
Another day as a Barca' fans

Unpopular opinion: Can't we just go for this Greenwood guy

ThierryJay:
Apt. For low-blocking teams, why not consider switching to 3-4-3 to accommodate penetrative width and midfield control?

3-4-3 was what we played yesterday

Kilishihunter:
Lol, see how you're conveniently making excuses for him whereas it was someone like ferran or raphinha the dragging would have beyond optimum levels yesterday
Note this was just 2 images I could pull out of the several haphazard performances he was dishing out especially in the first half, Taking too much time to shoot, Turning the ball over, not linking up with his teammates, Chance creation should not even be an excuse before we've all see how poor he's been since the world cup

Barca fans are double standard na

FirstbornWds:
If Barca knows what's good for them.. Ferran should be starting matches.. You don't keep a player as hardworking and intelligent like that on the bench.

Definitely not for a 16 year old.

That 16 year old was our best attacker yesterday

Awesome01:
This Maxwell is actually a very lucky player sha.

Roberto is more lucky that nigga don't deserve to win shit in his life

oliverano:
Might?

Messi has won number 8 already and...

No female footballer is CURRENTLY close to this girl right here.

More like, we WILL see, not MIGHT!

Alexia injury was what slow her down

Kantebets:

Error Gracia no dey ever get injury na only better players injury dey affect

Ballzproblem2:
Enzo , caicedo lavia will catwalk into your first eleven without training

And still yet you no be favorite to carry any thing this season
Carry this your comparison enter Twitter make u see how u go collect spiritual slap
Clown 🤡🤡🤡

Ballzproblem2:
bums like this is why Barca won't win European trophy in the next ten years.


The quality between Madrid players and that of Barca is as clear as day and night.

upgrade your midfield and attack if not na la Liga your competition end

Who among ur nonsense midfield is better than De Jong

brandon180:
I suspect he has attitude issues, especially after that stuff his father said months back.
But then, selling fati and leaving ferran fraudress? Probably not a good idea.
Like I said some days ago, I’m not sure xavi is sure of how he wants to play this season.

They stuff his father said is justifiable he wants his son to play.
If u are coaching a club and you know the quality between Ansu and Torres who would you pick

Kilishihunter:
I'm also in the same boat like you my brother cause I don't understand, If fati is going to be pushed out for Felix or the four man midfield then it might just be best to lower expectations this season for now, My fear is not just about losing fati but him going to one of our rivals that'll make him torment us in the future, We didn't get Neymar again due to several factors especially finance so what's the rocus?

I don't even get they fact that despite having a poor season he was our second highest goal scorer in the league behind lewy and then there this Dumbo jombo ferren fruadass who is still in his plan.
I don't understand oo
Is it that Ansu has Attitude issues abi his work ethic are bad.
