Needed this finish off my work day 🫡
You need to have a weekly podcast with Purist
listening to purist gives me orgasm
purist lessgo
Y’all are both top class
Video wont play for me.
Raphonha to me has the most consistent growth besides FDJ and Gavi. Truly one of our best pieces. Ferran is a super sub and i think he will find the most success at Barca that way.
What's happening with the video?
Ive been watching for a month now and never usually comment, but just wanted to say you're doing a great job with the channel 👏
Rapinha needs to evolve.. he needs ball infront of him..looses way too many balls
Video won't play for me
Both of your analysis are top notch ❤️💙 i hope you do this regularly #ForçaBarça
The purist 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Something completely off topic but I'm getting concerned about Marc Casado being slept on. I see him as a mix of Frankie and Pedri (receive n drive/control n create) and he could've easily filled in for their absence.
It's definitely his last season at Barca Athletic and I'm afraid losing him might come back to haunt us. He's really good.
Pls discuss this in the next pod.
Great podcast 🔥🔥✨ keep up the work
The Collab We didn't Know we Needed until Now damn
Some players were so slow. I don't know why to tired? Yamal plays very fast, but the other players play so slow.
We will not go through even from the group. We always lose key players in the important match. Now we lose De Jong and Pedri,
basically xavi wants gundogan to be tht person to provide the last pass bring his finishing quilty around the box
I love this analysis and discussion ❤
Gavi is absolutely the best player in this team at the moment, this I say after watching the Sevilla game. I love to hear that The Purist agrees, I admire Gavi too
Ferran should be played as a winger. That's where he does his best work. Even when it comes to goal scoring he's better than at center forward. I dunno what stopped Xavi from playing Felix instead as the false 9 in the Mallorca game🤦🏾♂️
Great Analysis !
Unpopular opinion..if rapinha played the full game from midfield interior.. we would have conceded a goal.. he doesn’t have the discipline for 90mins..he works hard but lacks discipline
Been here since 2k or less😁😌
It's good to see this growth Dan
