      lol. You understand football. Some folks assume that simply because a CB is big, good on the ball a relatively mobile, he will be a good CDM. Even Pep, who has John Stones, never converted him into a conventional CDM. He starts from defense and rolls into midfield (different from CDM, played by Rodri even when Stones plays). People don’t understand that CDM work is one of the hardest and yet, most important jobs in football.

    if xavi just started subbing lewa and the attackers out depending on their preformence they would feel more competion and would probaly work harder to preform and try to get the spot because it feels like lewa can go 9 matches without a goal and still start but a player like ferran who scored a hattrick against betis and still dont get to start as a striker

    We cannot ask Frenkie to do everything 🗣️🗣️🗣️.
    Not saying that’s what u said but people don’t understand Frenkie IS the key to playing out the back to our mid and front line. He attracts so much attention from opps, rarely looses the ball and always finds the right pass.
    Every player in our 11 should have a main role and then pivy to the “all inclusive style of play” interchanging positions temporarily, but never abondoning their main roles. For me Frenkie is completely his main role AND improving greatly in recovering the ball. With Araujo Jules Christiansen cancelo balde why are we still demanding he play excellent or even great defense????????
    Everything is Frenkie this Frenkie that, oh he’s debilitating the club with his wages, please stop fanboys. Place your attentions on SUPPORTING DE JONG like u mentioned!
    And for me that looks like a very energetic defensive player like a casemiro for example. But at the moment we don’t have that and most fans just don’t understand that we can’t ask Frenkie to do all that he’s already doing and ontop of it be super solid in defense, the poor kid man smh

    Selling Frenkie is the worst thing you can do, he is easily our best, most reliable and most consistent player right now. His talent is being wasted because he is being played out of position. Everybody knows how important the cdm/pivot position is any team, especially in our system. Laporta was a fool to think Romeu would be able to do the job and with that decision he set Xavi up to fail this season. I would rather play without a great striker then without a great cdm.

We need a deeper midfielder like fdj, but we need money if we don’t win anything this season, and with his age and unique play-style, we can’t get the best out of him , we’d be naive to not accept 75+ mil for him if there are offers

    I agree, at the level we're at we can't be paying someone worth 37.5 mil. I mean huge respect to Frenkie De Jong, but if we could somehow sell him then we could use that money to do a rebuild kinda stage. Maybe a decent CDM would do. Although it would be the best decision, I love Frenkie, It would be heartbreaking 💔 if he leaves because he's one of my favourite players. From this time on, if i was Xavi, i would be experimenting, let's say maybe this starting side could help a little;
    GK: Astralaga
    RB: Joao Cancelo (if fit)
    RCB: Ronald Araujo
    LCB: Cubarci
    LB: Hector Fort
    LCM: Pedri
    CDM: Andreas Cristensen
    RCM: De Jong
    LW: Fermin Lopez
    ST: Joao Felix
    RW: Raphinha
    Bench:
    ST: Robert Lewandowski
    ST: Vitor Roque
    RW: Lamine Yamal
    CB: Jules Kounde
    CM: Ilkay Gundogen
    LW: Feran Torres
    GK: Inaki Pena
    In my opinion, i think that Lewa should be sold ASAP so that we could use some of that 💰 to look for a decent CDM. We also miss Gavi so much, iykyk 😩.Yamal needs to take a break aswel, as a 16 year, Xavi has given too much game time. We don't want him to end up like Gavi right? So yeah that's just a little evaluation about our "struggling" Barca. 🤝🏼💯

    I have been saying this everywhere on social media - FDJ earns too much for what he is offering. He should have been sold when United asked. There is no question about his quality but this is not working for the club. Gundogan should be absolutely dropped. He has offered nothing from midfield. In fact he has been so useless that Pedri had to play as the second pivot in that last game. And don't even get me started on Lewa. IDK which idiot decided to spend 50m on a 33 yo striker when the club was broke but he is finished. We need players like Fermin at this club. I say, sell Gundogan,Lewa, Raphinha, Romeu and sign young players for small fees. Get Roberto de Zerbi and let him cook.

    Well how would Gavi do without Pedri or Frenkie? I think Frenkie is unlocking new talents in this time. He's getting better defensively, which will only help the team once we have a solid CDM. My only gripe is that I wish he would shoot more often, but he is more of a deep lying playmaker. Can't be two places at once.

    1st of all, anyone that mentions his astronomical wages as a "barca fan" shows to me they've been living under a rock. Frenkie has deferred his wages for so long that all those bad decisions the board made are now catching up to them. Do you expect him to defer his wages once more? I agree what he's earning on the surface looks insane, but it is well earned after the respect he gave the club by sticking with them and taking pay cuts on pay cuts. Secondly, have you watched any of the recent games when you mentioned you want to slide gundogan out of the squad? The man is the best preformer in the squad... Lastly, with everything Frenkie has shown the club in terms of love and respect combined with him buying his new home in the area on top of him and his wife really wanting to spend their lives together in Catalonia, i dont see him ever leaving the club unless barca forces him out at the end of his contract which will never happen.
