Carrick-esque player
Herrera-Pogba
Mkhitaryan-Martial-Neymar

:drool::drool::drool:. Don't even even get me started on the idea.​
 
Ter Stegen is simply a bang average shot stopper. His great distribution doesn't change that.

We have never had a truly great goalkeeper like Neuer, De Gea, or prime Buffon. :mad:
 
Fran Escriba looks like Mourinho. Ref Ignacio Iglesias looks like Gabi. And with Pato in Villarreal the whole game comes off as a big old reunion:lol:
 
Would you agree that Neymar's best form at Barcelona has happened with Messi out of the team? That's my feeling. Late 2015, he was arguably the best player in the world.
I kind of refuse to believe that Messi is holding Neymar down somehow. Neymar was electric in 2015 and early 2016 even when Messi was on the team.

I just don't know what has happened to him recently. He's just missed another big chance.

I could be wrong though. Who knows, if Neymar was the star man at United maybe he would go back to his late-2015 levels.
 
Off the field issues, most likely. That said, he's been barcelona's most creative player so far this season...
 
Barca simply have too many too players not performing at their full capacity.
 
You've not really needed one until now. The attack terrified teams.
Without coming across as "whiny", I truly believe that if we had a legendary shotstopper like De Gea or prime Buffon, we would have won at least 1 more CL in the past 10 years.

De Gea would have likely saved Drogba's goal in 2012 at Stamford Bridge, for instance.
 
Anyways, if neymar wants a change of scenery, Flo should pack either two of Cristiano, Benzema and Bale to China, pay the buyout clause and then work his magic with the spanish government to make his legal troubles disappear :wenger:

I don't think Messi is holding him down. He's had great games with Messi in there too. I do think he goes up a level without him though, because he has a bit more leeway and responsibility.
 
Andres has been underwhelming tonight and it's effecting the whole team.

We need a replacement, but he is such a unique talent. There really isn't anyone else like him.
 
What's Real's unbeaten streak? 38? Pretty incredible. They're walking La Liga this season.
 
I might be overreacting but I can't bear this anymore

That's the start of Villarreal counter, Gomes is 3 meters ahead of where our anchor (who used to be Rakitic) should be. He was famous at Valencia for doing poorly on defensive duties and shining on attack, this year his best minutes with Barcelona have been playing in Iniesta's role, yet we still keep using him like that and of course it keeps costing us.


Worst part, Luis Enrique looked a better manager 2 years ago even after the Anoeta fiasco, he was actively trying to find solutions and even tried different formations, he has become another Tata Martino
 
Barca need an angry goal. A goal from someone passionate like Mascherano. A goal like the Rooney volley against Newcastle in 2005 when he basically ripped the net with power. We were 0-1 down at home and that was the equalizer. Wes Brown then headed the winner to make it 2-1.

I would like to assure everyone that the point of my post is not that Barcelona need Wes Brown. But Barca need to really dig deep and force the issue here. Show your balls when the chips are down.
 
I'd replace Neymar with Sanchez immediately.

Still that's a luxury move like replacing Bale for Di Maria. The problem right now lies behind the front 3, Alexis would suffer to deliver like he's doing with Arsenal if he played for this Barcelona

That's not their problem and Neymar's better than Sanchez anyways. If you don't agree, they're more or less at the same level anyways.

Their problem is their deteriorating midfield. Lack of depth and no right sided attacker.
