Barca: A season to forget- Striker & center forward

THE PLAYERS-


* There Are Many !
1. Luis Suarez- The best out and out striker in Barca's ranks, we have Luis Suarez. And, he is 33 years old. Not a good sign, is it ? Maybe. But do we need Lautaro Martinez in a flash ? No. Luis suarez, when fit, can give us the best, but when not, should be used judiciously and the formation could be tweaked in order to fill in that gap.

2. Martin Braithwaite- An out and out striker, he is the perfect example of ' traditional number nine' he will stay in the opposition box, poach the easy chances and tuck in some good goals. But, he probably won't be staying next season and that *may* be a loss.

3. Lionel Messi- There's no defining his position. But a No.10 comes closest to describing it. Something between a striker and attacking midfielder, a false nine. Almost certainly the best player on the planet, he does not have to be described.

4.Antoine Griezmann- He may have been a 'flop' with double figure goals and a few assists, but he will be the one taking the chances in the big away games. He has done it with Atletico and he can do it. I believe in gambling and I will gamble him in the big games.

My Top Ten: Total Fiction- Three

No. 3. Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn Series by Mark Twain          The great American novels. The novels, set in and 'round Mississippi river, and the state of course, for all but one novel, are a jewel to read. They are humorous, rich and enjoyable. Truly one of the greatest American novels.          Plot- A painstakingly simple plot for each novel, woven around a million subplots, adding humor and there you have it. But, it is not that easy. To find the right subplot, to find the best position to add humor, even to decide on jokes, is hard. It's not that easy to satisfy neysayers and these novels have done just that.          Characters- I wasn't born in the U.S.A. and I do not know how the kids there are. But, if their lif can be this adventurous, count me in ! Mark Twain creates a bond so tight that I must believe whatever he writes. Tom steals a hot air balloon, of course he can do that.    ...

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 !

My Top Ten: Total Fiction- Four

No. 4. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.  Yeah, it is not in my top three. I am disappointed too, but I can assure you, I like this book very much, it is just that I like three books more. It is Paulo Coelho's best work by far and understandably. According to him, it is based on Wisdom. It is more about dreams and how to chase them. Plot- A boy has had a dream, there is a treasure below the pyramids in Egypt and he sets off to find it. Oh, how simple that seems and yet I have barely seen a novel more difficult to get the true essence. His journey is filled with extra-ordinary coincidences and incidents, making the journey adventurous and also giving a scope for some wisdom to be shared. A book like no other, This is the first book I'd recommend to instill a reading habit.  Characters- Santiago....Melchizedek....the alchemist....the shopkeeper.... all of these characters have a separate soul. A person we could identify, not one we could relate with the author in any way. This is a...
