    Leagues are won against Las Palmas, Leganes, Celta... UCL is won by effectiveness... We are doing neither.

    Barca played a really good, may also even say brilliant game against Atletico. We lost it happens sometimes the best team doesn't win...

    If we had done our job against the weaker teams this season, it would be no biggie, we would still be ahead in points. Instead we are 6 points behind. We are dropping the league not because we lost to Atletico, but because we lost or drew games against weaker rivals, that we should have won if the players had put at least 70% the effort they put against Atletico, Bayern or Madrid.

    Playing well against top rivals will mean nothing in UCL KOs if we are not having maximum efficiency, and we are not having it we are wasting tons of chances. UCL is full of teams that play very well and still lose this game against Atletico is classic UCL KO stage kind of game.

    And lowering intensity against weak rivals will mean dropping the league as well. With this mentality and this wastefulness we will win nothing this season. The players have to be given a good rest and then scolded because this is mentality issue. In my opinion.

    Flick job is perfect his tactics are perfect, trainings are perfect, but the players are not responding accordingly I doubt Flick told them to relax against weaker teams, or not have full concentration to finish chances.

    That First half against Athletico Madrid might be the best football we have played this season

    Forget the Madrid game or Bayern game, that first half performance against Athletico Madrid was the most enjoyable performance for me in this season. I was smiling through the entire first half. We had everything. Width on the left side, 4-3-3 with Pedri as LCM, controlled and sustained possession, minimal chaos, Balde not having to do two player's job at once.

    If this is our go to system, then i am happy. Just want to see more rotation.

    Visca Barca

    Interesting stat to say the least, what exactly is going wrong?

    Other than the poor finishing, what else do you believe our current problems are? I feel like certain matches after we’ve already won them we need to wrap them up meaning no more nonstop attacking but control and slowed down match play

    What did you like and what did you not like about the match agains Atletico Madrid?

    Basically... title

    Also, do you think our players got tired?

    What if we had Yamal? Could he make our difference?

    I think that we are not that clinical anymore (bad form) and we need another striker... maybe more than a LW...

    Pedri did good and had some awesome passes tho Gavi coming back slowly Good from Pena

    I’m still not worrying about our season.

    Yes we’ve been shocking for the past few games, players need to take responsible for not finishing and defending better.

    I personally never expected Flick to win the league this season, he’s only been here for a few months now. What did Klopp win in his first season with Liverpool? This season is all about putting the building blocks together.

    I definitely believe in the vision of Flick and board and I’m backing them. Sure we definitely need a few additions to the team, but I think next season we will surprise a lot of people

    My opinion on the derby and why we shouldn't take the title race as finished

    My opinion on the derby and why we shouldn't take the title race as finished

    My opinion on the derby

    I'm not sad about the defeat of my second club, obviously I would have preferred the victory, but we played much better than in the Leganes game and the others too, Barça will be back this season, believe me. We need a more consistent striker, no disrespect to lewa, and just attacking in general, they don't play bad but when it comes to finishing they fail so badly, keep trusting flick ball and visca ele barça ❤️💙

    Why are we wasting corner kicks and crosses?

    Every time we have a corner or a ball on the wing especially Balde and Raphinha, they just seem to cross it inshallah and hope for the best. Last time I've seen Barcelona score a header was when Araujo scored it vs Real Madrid 3 fucking years ago. Why just not play it out to the first man and make a play from that? We loose so many possession this way and wallah Balde and Raphinha are not going to learn crossing anytime soon.

    Alejandro Balde. The wrong answer for our problem.

    He's not bad, nor he's excellent. He's decent. That's the issue. You can't blame him for playing badly, or praise him for being exceptionally good. He's a very decent player, and that's just so hard to judge. Our current system lets him thrive at what he's good at—an attacking fullback role. He's fast, defensively good. However, what we need him to do the most is, maintain the width of the left flank, and create chances from there. Does he do that? Sadly, not at the level we need him to do it.

    He's had a few very good games. For example, El Clasico. He was bloody good. Again, he's very inconsistent and lacks a sense of positioning and crossing. His crosses aren't accurate enough. He's young, he has room to grow, but, being our 1st choice left back, he has to step up and deliver more.

    Ferran Torres. A player who's as inconsistent as Balde. Nevertheless, his mentality is different. He knows getting into the starting lineup is a very hard task. So, he works extremely hard for it and it's visible too!

    I think Balde's main issue is his lack of competition. Our only backup is Gerard Martin. Should we bring in reinforcements to challenge Balde? Absolutely. But who's there?

    Alphonso Davies-Avaibale on a free. He is 24 and has some good European experience. However, with clubs like Madrid and United eyeing him, it will be hard for us to get him. Hansi Flick would be key in landing him.

    What's up with the Dani Olmo situation?

    We all know that Barça registered Dani Olmo for the injury that was picked up by Christensen. Since he'll be back in coming months (February max), can the board generate enough revenue so that Olmo can be registered next year? Considering the current situation, it seems very difficult. As far as I'm aware of LaLiga's policies if Barcelona fail to register Dani Olmo, he'll be a FREE AGENT next summer. We already bought Szchezny for MATS and now things are getting complicated again. We might have to sell some high profile players like De Jong and Araujo to register Dani Olmo. What are your thoughts?

    why don’t we see more of Pablo Torre?

    Why aren't Barca coaches fond of Torre? From the games he has played, I think he's done well enough to at least have a few minutes each game or more games than he already has. He's good on the ball, technically good too and is an AM. Olmo had a stinker last game, one of the worse performances i've seen from a Barca player this season (which happens, it is what is) but Pablo Torre still didn't get any minutes. I wonder why.

    Szczesny about his situation: "f I were the coach of this club, I would play as many matches as I have played so far"

    Wojciech Szczesny gave an interview to Eleven Sports in which he was asked about his situation at Barca:

    - I, from the beginning, said that I had to get back into shape and that was the most important thing. Now I feel fully ready to play, in terms of physical and mental preparation. I also don't hide the fact that if I were the coach of this club, I would play as many matches as I have played so far, so it's hard for me to be frustrated with the situation, which I agree with 100%,” stated Wojciech Szczesny. He also revealed that he talks a lot with Hansi Flick in the context of his situation.

    - Even when there was a worse moment for the team and the media tried to put pressure, I was the first to say that Inaki deserves full confidence and is playing at a good level. I have a different perspective, as someone who has already been retired. I also seem to be able to evaluate things more objectively and less selfishly. Maybe that's why I'm not frustrated,” he said.

    Szczesny was also asked about the crisis of Hansi Flick's team

    - This is a natural consequence of inexperience and youth. I used to be like this myself, and I know how difficult it is to switch from playing in big stadiums in the Champions League to matches against potentially smaller clubs in the league. This is the path that every young player must go through to win trophies. They have to find a balance in terms of mentality. It seems obvious, to approach every match exactly the same, but it's not that easy,” concluded Szczęsny.

    What's the Budget for the Summer Transfer Window?

    What's the budget looking like for the summer window, and would it be in the best interest to only sell in January? Obviously, the key positions need to be looked at, but is there any chance there's enough money to land the key positions and one of them being an attacker worthy of the #10 jersey?

    Just think about what that would mean for next season: 1 year under Flick, a bunch of youngsters who are no longer "rookies", necessary depth, the stadium finished (105,000 fans) and a player who can finally be the Barca #10 and then buy time they leave, even if they're only about 22 or older, Yamal will be 100% ready to take the #10 jersey then.

    To be fair, though, that may mean not throwing in the towel this season for all comps but majorly sacrificing potentially all but 1 of them, but you never know.
