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 and Coutinho on the flanks was questionable, but the substitutions ? Undeniably bad decisions, clearly not ideal. 

3. Again, I said, Wingers should be Dembele, Trincao, Fati. None of them was a winger today! Astonishing. 

The silver lining ? 

1. Dest. What a game he had. I think he must be proud of his performance, and still, he was the humblest when interviewed. We have got a gem of a group here guys. 

2. We can rest Ter Stegen at free will. Neto has been sensational. Yes, he made a mistake, but he also made TWO DOUBLE SAVES. That's insane for a backup keeper. 

3. We just need 2 players. We all know we are not gonna win the treble this season. But looking forward, We have got Ter Stegen, Dest, Araujo, probably Garcia, a left back, De Jong, one of Alena, Puig and Monchu, Pedri, Fati, Trincao, Dembele and a striker. We can rule the planet with this team ! But, wait, who ? Angelino ? Haland? I do not know. This is the job for the scouts right now. Let's hope we get some great players. 

That's it then !

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...
