Barca: A season to forget- Full team and required signings


            It has not been an easy season for Barcelona. Injury for Messi, suarez, dembele, de jong, griezmann, and many more. Then sacking of Ernesto Valverde, boring football in many games, failed transfers. However, we must look forward. We must not forget what happened but we shall not dwell on it. The thing about Barcelona is that the fans, including me, want great football and great results. Also, great football does not mean we can move to the flanks, we have to build through the center, conserve possession, and play beautifully. For that, we need certain type of players. Technically sound players.

So, according to me, these are the positions we have to cover and preferred signings-

Center back- Yes, we have Clement lenglet and Araujo to help pique, but pique won't be here forever. He will get old and we have two center backs without him. So, we need another. 

Players- We know we are after Eric Garcia and that is the best option according to me too. However, he is already getting minutes at Man City and neither him nor Mancity have hidden their respect for each other. So, in the case that he isn't available, we must turn our head towards Luiz Felipe from Lazio. He is tall, strong, technically sound and fast. Every possible good trait in a center back. Additionally, he is also a towering presence. 

Left back- As I already touched this subject during left back, let's move to players.

Players- Alphonso Davies would be great. But saly, we cannot invest that much amount into a single player when we can get almost as good a player for much less. That player is Alejandro Grimaldo. Playing for Lisbon, he has really shown his quality and it's time we fix our mistake and bring him back. 

Central midfielder- Again, it is fairly obvious that we need some technically sound and creative players in our ranks, like Riqui Puig.

Players- I think we do not need to buy any player, rather just promote Monchu. He is a real talent. Also, we have to bring Alena back and play between these three to add that competitiveness. Really frightening. 

That's all, if we do this, and we can you know, then we'll be almost as good as any other squad.

Barca: A season to forget- Left Wing/ Midfielder

THE PLAYERS- I am not considering Coutinho and Griezmann Left Wingers. 1. Ansu Fati- An  astoundingly ridiculous revelation this season, Ansu Fati will surely be a major part any success we are * hoping * for. His speed and aggressiveness is always channeled and timed well. He can create something out of very little. This is the quality we were craving for, and we have got it in the form of Ansu.  2. Pedri- I know, he is not a first team member just yet, but that is not to say he won't recieve first time action. I think when Ansu needs rest, Pedri should get some starts against less physical sides like Villarreal. Conclusion- After two seasons after Neymar left, we finally have two very good wingers on both flanks. This is definitely good ! 

Barca: A season to forget- What needs to change ?

What needs to change, in order to win the champions league this August ? So, I can'y really talk about mentality because I am not aware of the happenings in the dressing room, so, let's talk about tactics. Formations and player roles.  TYPE 1- 4-1-2-1-2 narrow Goalkeeper- Ter Stegen two center backs- Pique and Lenglet/ Pique and Araujo Right back- Semedo Left back- Jordi Alba Holding Midfielder- Sergio Busquets Two Central Midfielders- Riqui Puig and Vidal/De Jong /Rakitic Attacking Midfielder- Messi Two strikers- Suarez and Griezmann/ Fati ( He can definitely play there)               This formation was used in the last five games of league and it was evident that it worked fine only when the opposition was not ultra defensive. Napoli, sadly, is ultra defensive. In this formation, the defence has usual work. In the midfield, Busquets has to stay deep and think attacking. He needs to put ball forward after intercepting passes or gettiing ball...

Barca-1 : RMA -3

 Of Course it's the match review.  Look, we played well. If that calms you down, it should not. We need to win to show for it. No matter how many chances are created, until they are put away. Real Madrid were, by far the second best side today. But, they won. Maybe that's because of the VAR decision, but we need to understand that we should have been at least 3-1 up at that point. There's no excuse for that kind of finishing, in an El Clasico, the PREMIER FOOTBALLING SHOWCASE. At least it used to be. Now, there were some things more alarming, and some good ones, but as has been the case this season, finishing remains to be sharp. So, what are the even more negative things ? 1. Busquets. Yeah. I said it before, I will say it again, De Jong and Busquets can't play together. They do not complement each other. For details, click  here  . 2. The day Koeman was appointed, I had one, singular doubt about him. his passiveness. That is what we saw today. Yes, starting Pedri a...
