Barcelona is struggling with a poor defensive structure and injuries, leading to concerning performances. Lamine Yamal, an 18-year-old player, has been impressing with his skills, dominating games, and carrying a lot of responsibility on and off the pitch. The team's situation is being closely followed by fans, who are expressing frustration and hope for improvement.

"Im still in awe of that Pedri performance. Lets dissect this: he was CLEARLY nowhere near XXX% probably played within himself yet ended up absolutely bossing the most inform side in Spain in every way conceivable on *and* off the ball. Even by his ridiculous standards that was something else. Not sure how anyone could possibly argue against him being the best midfielder in football. Heck Id even go further and say hes the best player outright. 🤷♂"

"I think Ronald Araujo should leave the club first thing in January. And I dont say this out of spite quite the opposite. I know for a fact hes a much better footballer than what hes shown over the past few seasons and if hes in a bad mental state which he CLEARLY is the best way to move on is a fresh start.

"The coach-manager dynamic: When I think of the likes of Amorim and Slot or essentially any manager making the move up from a much more financially humble environment to essentially having a blank cheque I think theres an aspect of them getting disillusioned by the possibilities. It cant be that Amorim had Sporting playing some of the most exciting free flowing football but he gets a better squad with hundreds of million to spend and its suddenly all rubbish. There has to be more to it. I dont necessarily think any of these people are bad coaches theyve proven not but are they good managers"

"I wish it had been at Bara but watching Busquets and Alba finish their journeys lifting a trophy with Messi and Surez led by Mascherano feels like football bringing everything full circle. Messi will grab the headlines rightly so but this is the real storyline imo"

"This is incredible. I say it almost every week but I truly believe there isnt a single manager in football whod be able to replicate the job Flicks done. Most managers even the great ones wouldve crumbled by now"

"Ive been saying this for the best part of three seasons and it holds true now more than ever FC Barcelona have one of the best foundations in football. Weve got *the* star boy to build around alongside Pedri FDJ Raphinha Fermin Cubarsi Gavi and the list goes on. Most of all La Masia Point is this squad is nearly there. We do not need drastic changes its about fine tuning and adding the missing ingredients. A ceiling raiser and striker and CB some savvy depth. Nail these 3/4 signings and thats all"

"I think this is the right move. This isnt about Slot vs Salah its about the precedent you set for the squad. Cant have a senior player having a public outburst like that. What message does that send to everyone else Yes Salah is a Liverpool great but what he did was clearly disruptive and frankly selfish"

"Whats clear is none of this happened over night. Being vocal your mental health is still such a taboo in professional sport especially football. Its a culture where false notions of mentality are pedestalised and the association of toughness is misunderstood. Theres a chance Araujo has been going through this for a long time and his performances are a consequence not a byproduct of it. We sometimes get caught in viewing footballers (or mainstream personalities in general) as characters more than human beings. Im sure I myself am in some way complicit. Horrible situation"

"This Araujo situation is somewhat of a wake up call for myself. Im not arrogant enough to think I matter but as a collective narratives and bad-faithed discourse adds up. Especially indirectly. Here on Im going to be very conscious of how I voice my scrutiny and criticism. Not because any of these players are ever going to see or care for what I have to say but as a matter of principle. Navigating that line is difficult though. Probably something one has to figure out and be content with themselves. Were all ultimately accountable to ourselves"

"@viscacubarsi I broadly get what he was saying but the part about his record with Egypt + who he was before Liverpool missed the mark imo. I think people wouldve taken him a lot more seriously if he refrained from going there. And Im in the camp that Salah was out of line btw"

"As is the case with most of the best wingers now and in history teams have started double (in come case triple) teaming Lamine more frequently. Hes still obviously highly productive but were not maximising him as long as hes isolated as a touchline winger. Its time for that evolution to occur which is occupying more central ball-dominant positions"

"@tnk_theGenius He hasnt. History and past glory is pretty irrelevant in a moment of crisis. Salah will always be a great and he has the right to vent *internally*. But causing the disruption he has knowing it makes matters 10x worse is simply not on imo"

"I understand what Salah means to Liverpool fans and I know he isnt just any player. But all the more this could have been handled internally. Of what good is going public aside from making matters worse The last thing Liverpool needed right now was even more disruption. Im sure his words wouldve held even more weight if he did so in private. Just not right imo"
