Manxst Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 10 minutes ago, Village Idiot said: Well, I meant on the pitch. Off the pitch we're a disgrace and we're not going to get better with Laporta in charge. It’s a real shame. I used to love the old Barca- it was a real breath of fresh air how they played, the players they had, the ethos. The last few years has really diminished what a great club it is, and taken away some of the aura and specialness that was there (imo, anyway!). Don’t know what the solution would be, with your finances etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 2 minutes ago, Froggy said: It's obviously only one game but I wasn't impressed with Barca at all. The defence was all over the place and we should have scored at least another two. Aside from the Leeds game last week (2-2), I don't remember cutting through anyone as easy as we did last night. We were missing at least 5 starting players too. I went into the game last night expecting to get comfortably beaten. I did fear the worst after the opening 10 minutes though. You looked very sharp but tailed off a lot. Busquets was missing. We have a hole at DM since we still rely so much on him to stabilize the defensive unit. And he's probably leaving in the summer.

I had it in my head that he had tailed off massively but I know the importance of a good defensive midfielder. We are transformed when Casemiro is in the team, although he didn't have his best game defensively last night. Still good though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs legs around him for it to work (Piqué did us a massive favor by retiring since Xavi insisted on playing them together), but his ability to make the right decision is still uncanny.
