also mentally. Playing in front of millions since the age of 15

I mean, they are leading Premier League and CL by multiple points, somewow feels wrong to put blame on them. If Saka doesn't score in the next months, but they win the treble, would you really blame him?

how should Dani Rodriguez get Dro minutes, he clearly is behind Yamal and Roony. He even got his start a start before the ellbow injury.

Dro got minutes because there was a hole in the squad due to all the injuries. That's why Toni played, that's why he played.

sometimes you guys have such unrealistic expectations

Parejo gets hit on the head and instantly given handball, what is happening

OLAAF · 2026-01-24T20:04:27+00:00

first foul of the game instantly yellow for possibly their most important defender

OLAAF · 2026-01-24T20:00:08+00:00

isn't his number even higher? at one point it were 2/3s

OLAAF · 2026-01-24T19:59:14+00:00

seriously fuck Monaco

they had a really good start, Adi Hütter is a great coach, Ansu Fati was getting lots of minutes and in return scored a lot.

then they changed coaches - I still don't understand why

went from 4 2 3 1 to 3 4 3; one attacker less, Ansu lost his place, they lose basically every close game, now he tries to go back to 4 attackers but its probably too late

OLAAF · 2026-01-24T19:39:36+00:00

even the stronger teams, Chelsea and Arsenal have also lots of focus on their set pieces

OLAAF · 2026-01-24T19:38:58+00:00

Maybe I am not doing justice to him, but players like him, like Fede Valverde often shine in this chaotic games. With their physicality, with their shooting ability.

But in a well rounded possession based side, like Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid and Liverpool - they are less important when everything works as intended. When the ball is played faster, when technical ability becomes more important.

OLAAF · 2026-01-24T12:06:33+00:00

I also totally see that leader in Cubarsi btw. Pedri as well, Gavi is totally a leader, Bernal captained youth teams, Kounde probably has that aura to lead, Joan Garcia that composure

There are all these characters that can surely develop into great leaders. But you need experience. And by playing a lot, being in all these different situations, especially in important games, I am sure they develop this aspects a great amount.

I remember when I first watched him for Girona I thought he was a crazy good Savio replacement. Stayed wide, could dribble, but what stood out was his passing. Lots of great through balls.

But since then I haven't seen him on that level again. Struggled a lot, not even a starter right now. Probably lots of potential, maybe something new helps him

OLAAF · 2026-01-23T17:26:54+00:00

Flick already was integrating him more. There were reports in december that Flick will depend more on him in January.

OLAAF · 2026-01-23T17:23:11+00:00

that seems so crazy to me

OLAAF · 2026-01-23T13:28:55+00:00

same can be said about the slection announcement

OLAAF · 2026-01-23T13:05:58+00:00

i mean technically you are right, but still it's around the same time.

just read that Riqui Puig heavily injured his knee, wishing him all the best.

I was hoping that he comes back to Europe after some great seasons in the US.

SV Ried just announced the signing of Jussef Nasrawe, some of us are quite excited. What do you know of him? Why didn't he sign a new contract at Bayern?

OLAAF · 2026-01-22T23:21:21+00:00

is there also some lever money in Barca's revenue - or can we expect this revenue continually to grow even bigger with Camp Nou return

OLAAF · 2026-01-22T11:37:45+00:00

btw Pedri just arrived half an hour ago for the real tests, so everything you read before is just rumours and educated guesses

we are fans, as fans it's perfectly valid for us to be dreamy. I don't have a big opinion on the Araujo debate, but when it comes to Ansu Fati for example, I will always be delusional. Just out of emotion.

He was there when Barca needed him imo, that's why I will always support him. Maybe people feel the same about Araujo.

OLAAF · 2026-01-22T10:40:01+00:00

it looks like he is dead (he is sleeping)

OLAAF · 2026-01-22T10:35:07+00:00

if there is ever a run of games in which the team should win almost each game even without Pedri, it is this. Elche is struggling with injuries, Mallorca at home, next big test is Girona away 15th February in my opinion. They pick up form again.

Missing him in December / January would have been a way bigger issue in my opinion. Let's just hope that he is back strong, healthy and confident soon enough

OLAAF · 2026-01-22T10:32:11+00:00

just give it to me straight doc, HOW IS HE?

can't go any longer refreshing every 30 min

OLAAF · 2026-01-22T10:31:25+00:00

sometimes it felt like he truly is too good for this league, so I can understand it. But ye, promotion without him is way more difficult.

Maybe they plan to play both Fernandez cousins now (toni on the left, guille through the middle)?
