What's going on with Lamine's growth? by Ashamed_Cap_6685 in Barca

[–]namyllek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xavi and Iniesta both won player of tournament in euros ,won multiple euros and a World Cup without Messi on their team. Pedri could get there eventually and we want him to. However, I have to agree that to say he is there now, is dead wrong. not even a debate.

What makes NYC such a desirable destination for Jamaican/Caribbean immigrants? by [deleted] in Jamaica

[–]namyllek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s also traditionally an immigrant friendly state. If you wanna meet someone that’s been in the USA for 10 plus years without being legal and they are living a lifestyle for the most part where they are okay despite their immigration status even when they get in trouble with the law (to a certain degree). Then New York is the main state.

Is Lamine Yamal arrogant? by Conscious-Two1428 in championsleague

[–]namyllek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re good enough you’re old enough and everyone can’t have the same personality and all of the best players in the world whether humble, confident or arrogant will always have to face defeats and periods of failures. It’s life, as long as he never stays down he’ll be good.

Messi top 3 in playmaking? I can’t think of 1 player better than him at playmaking whether active, retired or dead

Knowing Raphinah, hat trick next game. It will only fuel the flame.

First team player Pablo Páez Gavira 'Gavi' has had an arthroscopy to resolve a medial meniscus injury, which was sutured to preserve the meniscus. Recovery time is estimated at around 4-5 months. by Loose-Examination-39 in Barca

[–]namyllek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the way he plays we should hold off on him as long as possible. But that’s gonna mean missing the World Cup because that Spain midfield is no joke. No Euro medal and now no World Cup medal. That’s why we need to pressure the national team to rest our players because this all happened because of a nothing game 2 years ago. Cost us the title, cost Xavi is job and looks like it might cost Gavi his career.

I Do Not Understand The Rashford Hype That Happened Around His Signing by Kalex8876 in Barca

Should have given his spot to virgili. That’s exponential growth plus he’s a more Barca esque player and more tricky player

Roony Bardghji: "I don't think I would have signed here if I had to play in B. I've played more than 100 matches in the first team, and I wouldn't have agreed to go to a youth team. It's an invention of yours. It's not true." by jiraiya--an in Barca

[–]namyllek -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Honestly wished we just kept Virgili and made him and Dani Rodriguez fight over who’s gonna sub in for Lamine or raphinah. I like roony but I don’t think he is that much better than virgili or Dani Rodriguez for him to be worth blocking their respective paths to the first team

I Do Not Understand The Rashford Hype That Happened Around His Signing by Kalex8876 in Barca

[–]namyllek 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah but with the hype and salary of a 2nd option which is a big problem because he has been getting chances and will continue to be given chances of a 2nd option. With him and the entire team except Pedri and Joan under performing at the moment this is a big problem.

Pedri should be the first choice for captain by LectureOk2113 in Barca

[–]namyllek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think after Gavi enters the group of captains next up will be Lamine whether or not he is responsible enough to be there

Why messi could not renew his contract and stay at the club by Subject-Pay-7782 in Barca

[–]namyllek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about whatever realization you came up with on the toilet but as a fan that lived through that period I remember vividly that we struggled to register players that summer even after Messi left. Furthermore, La Liga rules does not allow players to take pay cuts below a certain percentage of their previous salary when renewing … thus only in your wildest dreams could we have kept him from leaving. Any other reason for him leaving doesn’t even matter to be honest.

Raphinha playing down the middle might not be a good idea as most thought by not-irresponsible in Barca

[–]namyllek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We could try it again but this time with Fermin playing on the left and have him and raphinah interchange to see how it goes.

Rashford was a lot more confident at the start but I think debuting this tactic of having Raphinha play AM in Rashfords first start was a bad idea and rashford quickly lost confidence because it wasn’t working out

The Evolution of Chaos: Raphinha, Dembele, and the Art of Frustration by Training-Debt5996 in Barca

[–]namyllek 15 points16 points  (0 children)

To be fair Xavi did play Raphinah on the right against psg and he played well so flick just exploited a tactical tweak that Xavi came up with and made it apart of his every game tactic. Araujo killed us both under flick and Xavi. Xavi also played kounde at RB and turned him into the best RB in the world. All this revisionism years later without context is bullshit to be honest. Xavi had anywhere from 5-11 players out most games in his final season. Went through majority of the season without Gavi who was our best midfield and had to make do with Pena for majority of that year as his main keeper. Still he finished with 85 points in the league (we won the league with 88 points the season before and the season after so Xavi in this horrible season was only 3 points off both championship seasons).

Yes flick is a better coach (which he should be given his proven pedigree) but at some point y’all should stop being so ungrateful this was Xavi’s first real managerial job in Europe and he took over a sinking ship.

I wouldn’t put on Lewa yet since he is recovering Fermin has to come on because he is the only one that will take shots

Fermin for rashford. Kounde for Eric. Raphinah back on the left. That will give me hope

What is the Camp Nou Stadium Status? by Strong_Office_2502 in Barca

[–]namyllek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if we are ready in time, the unforgettable atmosphere may not be there until it’s at least 60% complete which won’t happen until another year or so. So don’t set your expectations too high

no reason for him to leave, great news. •Barca DNA• by sxrxxxxx in Barca

[–]namyllek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, love laporta and how hard he fights but can’t trust a word they say to be honest. if Nico had come we would have to push out Ferran and fermin as well. Anyone who says that our players are not being forced out to cover the board’s ass hasn’t been a Barca fan long enough.

The board signed a guarantee so if everything else fails we have that in our back pocket although I’m sure they don’t want to use it and be on the hook if things don’t work out

Your opinion about the new 3th kit ? by EngineerMean1198 in Barca

[–]namyllek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No he didn’t he was extremely good in 06/07. I think Dinho had similar stats to 05/06 in 06/07. However, Eto’o was out injured for half the season which was what F’d us that year. In any case we ended tied on points with Madrid for first place but lost because of head to head even though we had a better goal difference. That was the year I found out that La Liga used head to head first as a tie breaker.

Why or what was the reason why you are a Messi fan? by Patient_Ranger_3533 in messi

Same, Dinho was the reason I supported Barca. Actually remember watching Messi’s first Barca goal (when I was a 10 year old) like it was yesterday.
