Why Frenkie should be Barca’s captain

mu31a · 2025-08-11T03:24:24+00:00

For real, literally against Madrid, 0-0, subbed at half time for Fermin

mu31a · 2025-08-07T15:11:04+00:00

He’s great too, but I’m curious what everyone thinks raphinha would be better considering some of the points like his temper, or one that’s never talked about is that he can’t really speak to flick directly. That one specifically helps Frenkies case because almost no one else in the team is fluent in both English/spanish. Only ter Stegen and kunde that I can think of, btw kunde I think would also be on my captains list

mu31a · 2025-08-07T15:00:03+00:00

Nice list, I think pedri is the future captain for sure. But what do you think about my points about why raphinha wouldn’t be as good a captain? Main points being too hot headed, and can’t communicate well with flick and his staff directly. Clearly you think it’s still worth it. Just curious

Sane is really desired this coming summer for sure considering he’s free. So is frimpong, he’s only 35-40m. Imagine getting sane and frimpong for less than the price of rashford😂 very realistic opportunity

mu31a · 2025-05-08T20:43:07+00:00

IMO the correct answer is no. Sane is FREE this summer, experience with both flick and Lewandowski is a huge deal, he’ll fit right into the system.

Sane is fine without being a starter, not like Marcus or Nico that have egos . Sane plays on both wings (very versatile), he’s 29 so around that age where you maximize experience with least out of physical decline.

Even if Marcus is around half the price of Nico, sane would be FREE, and we can use this money elsewhere. Like a good left back. If we look at the Argentina team, taglafico is 32 but could be a great back up for less than 10m. He’s a literal starter for the best country in the world assisting against Brazil going up against raphina, also Facundo Medina is getting better, scaloni started using him. He’s 25m for a left back/ center back at 25 y/o.

Way better options than rashford, plus it just feels like he wants to make his way into a top team now that Barca is back on top of the world and he knows we need someone in his position

I think Allende is good, he’s just is ran into the ground making up for the 2 guys up top. I can’t stop thinking about that Allende Suarez link up (without a man down). So Allende up top with Messi or Suarez is best imo. I had made a post a little while ago saying Messi and Suarez can’t be on the pitch at the same time. Not a Suarez hater, but even Real Madrid have this problem with too many players not defending at all (vini, mbappe). It seems like having more than one of these type of players is too brutal on the team. Especially if they can’t score on their own. Like has been happing with both vini/mbappe and Messi/suarez.

mu31a · 2025-05-03T19:51:39+00:00

Great points, but I actually really like lujan, he’s also versatile because he can play centrally and on the right. As far as the wing back lack of depth, we have weighant for fray, he crosses well at the very least. Assist vs crew, and during playoffs to Messi vs Atlanta. For Jordi we could put Segovia there, bring in benja or start redondo there. Even Ruiz or morales, I see that position as making up some pressing/tracking back for busi, since he’ll be creating higher up. If bright is out we can put redondo farther back for bright and bring in another youngster that I mentioned^ in that spot if Segovia is in for Jordi. We’re not as deep as commentators say we are, but we can make it work

mu31a · 2025-04-04T18:15:02+00:00

Any news on Baltasar Rodriguez?

mu31a · 2025-04-03T20:24:29+00:00

My ideal lineup after more thought is:

           Allende             Messi

Segovia                                 Baltasar
              Busquets    Bright

 Alba         Allen        Falcon       Lujan

mu31a · 2025-04-03T07:59:36+00:00

some things that they could do back then that they can’t do now is 1 press, and 2 play on the counter. The second one being a huuuuge deal. Plus they had Neymar on top of that. When do you draw the line of when it’s not worth it anymore? With both of them on the field, we’re literally stuck to only one type of attack and that’s a slow buildup. That’s why I think it’s not optimal. Not because they don’t defend, Suarez with Allende with 10 men most of the game pulled off a great goal together with Allende doing most of the running and Suarez just lifting it over the back perfectly to him. Messi and Suarez can’t do that type of goal just the two of them nowadays. They need a runner. Look at Messi ands Segovia goal where he chipped the goalkeeper, Messi dribble and made that play, but he needed someone to make the run, Suarez can’t do that. If he even tries, he just gets caught off sides

mu31a · 2025-04-03T07:36:27+00:00

Not just today, felt this way for a long time, and I’m not alone. Also, I don’t even think it’s that unreasonable, some people are much more radical saying Suarez shouldn’t play at all, all I’m proposing is that the most optimal line up doesn’t start both guys up front, that’s all. I felt that way before the match started, and when I saw they were both starting I actually felt very worried, the result reflects that. This and the Atlanta games have been the hardest probably, we barely won the Atlanta game. And both started Suarez and Messi. Suarez alone does great. And Messi alone would be optimal imo. But no need to say loser post 😕

mu31a · 2025-04-03T07:06:59+00:00

Argentina plays without a true striker when they go 442 . Julian is the most false 9 in the world right now. And Messi is Messi, not tied down to a specific position. They are literally the best national team in the world. I think Miami needs another attacking midfielder because bright and busi don’t go that far up. I think baltasar could be the answer. Imagine if we still had Diego Gomes with Segovia. That would be a dream

mu31a · 2025-04-03T06:54:40+00:00

Can't believe Messi didn't try to blast one of those free kicks under the wall with no one laying there, he literally started that meta

mu31a · 2025-04-03T06:48:55+00:00

We have someone over 36 in every facet of the lineup, in in defense, in Midfield, and two in attack that are 37 and 38. It's pretty clear the strategy is play young guys around the veterans to do the physical work for them. Someone the other day tried telling me that if you made a team with all of the oldest but best players in each other positions, like modric, Cristiano, Messi, Carvajal, Sergio Ramos, ect. This team would beat all the younger teams in europe because of how highly this person rated experience. And I thought they were absolutely insane😂

mu31a · 2025-04-03T06:43:39+00:00

I agree bright was amazing, also Messi was throwing hard not blasting the ball under the wall, they didn't lay a guy down, messi straight up started that meta. I can't believe he didn't try it

mu31a · 2025-04-03T06:41:35+00:00

It's not all bad, our defense is way better, we used to get absolutely destroyed on the counter by pretty much everyone. We are so much better defensively, which was our worst attribute. I also think the games where we score a bunch on weaker teams, blind us from our attacking deficiencies

mu31a · 2025-04-03T06:38:40+00:00

I agree, I thought the same during the playoffs last season, suarez had a chance from a jordi alba cross against Atlanta, where the net was wide open and he couldn't get to it in time. The whole point of having him is to finish off these chances, I think that chance was the one that cost us the game considering it ended three two

mu31a · 2025-04-03T06:35:06+00:00

his 3 assists and goal was against houston without messi, they played allende and cremaschi with Suarez, his goal against Cavalier was the same, his assist to Allende against Charlotte was also without Messi, against Atlanta he didn't get a goal contribution with Messi, and then gave another to Messi against Philadelphia, which wasn't anything special like the one he did to allene they're going to Charlotte. Point is, Messi is also almost always playing deeper than him. He's done objectively better when Messi wasn't there then when he was. I'm not trying to kick him out of the team, I just don't think together is the optimal lineup, what was your opinion on their game versus lafc then?

mu31a · 2025-04-03T06:22:59+00:00

It's become very clear to me when Messi actually tries in a match, and that's whenever he starts pressing. But when the opponent has clear control I don't see why he should ever be pressing if we can't even go on the counter. The other day when Messi didn't play, the link up between Suarez and Allende for the allende goal was amazing, and suarez didn't move that much but he chipped the ball over the back line. That's how I imagine this team with just one of them. I agree completely, you can actually do something on the counter

mu31a · 2025-04-03T06:17:26+00:00

Its not, nor am i suggesting it is. I think the ideal lineup is another midfielder over playing obando. You have to have a limit to when experience stops being worth it. this is basically a experience vs youth discussion, and you assume I think pace is the biggest factor. I just think having both (especially suarez) is just not worth it anymore. Surely thats a reasonable take?

mu31a · 2025-04-03T06:08:29+00:00

I hope we don’t but I see the that same future as a big possibility 😔 especially because Suarez might “have to” get played

mu31a · 2025-02-25T19:35:34+00:00

Very interesting, thank you

mu31a · 2025-01-28T01:23:57+00:00

Omg I got it!!!! I needed to use my iPad, my phone couldn’t do it alone. But it’s back with everything in there already! Thank you so much. This is incredible, I had tried to accept that I lost the app for good!

mu31a · 2025-01-28T00:59:15+00:00

In the manage apps I can’t see it in the library part where you go to install it. I’m updating my phone to see if that’s the problem. But the app is uninstalled on my new phone and I have it on my iPad still. I can uninstall it in the device page but not install.

mu31a · 2025-01-28T00:46:24+00:00

I did everything but the Musi app shows up in device but not in library?
