WHAT MIDFIELD COMBINATIONS WORK FOR YOU? 🧐
Gavi AND Casado with Pedri as the 10… That’s f**** scary 🔥🔥🔥💪🏽
Dejong is worried, and he should be. I have no issue with him any longer. If he wants to step up, then good. If not, then he should stay on the bench. We got enough midfielders now.
I wish to see Gavi and Casado pedri or Frankie wow
Sell frankie to Man U for 100 mill. Bernal Casado pedri gavi then we have olmo and Lopez. Oh and the newest of the promising la masia. We need the money, we need back up for our wingers and striker. Reinforce kounde and baldes position as well. 2026 goals in for a goalkeeper.
At this point i feel like u r behaving the same way the spanish media is. U keep using frankie as click bait almost every video u have something to say abt frankie
Frankie isn’t a high intensity player and that’s simply it… even that challenge on his shin I was hoping this isn’t another injury… but when Frankie is playing in spaces he is brilliant…. I don’t think Frankie and Fermine should be on without someone like Gavi or Casado
FDJ still needing those boys (Casado, Pedri, Gavi) to perform well again?
As good as our midfield is… Olmo is physically susceptible to injury. So is pedri. FDJ is nowhere near 100% & Gavi is just coming back… We need the cushion that we have right now. The way I see it, the game time will be very evenly spread among the lot. I don't think there is any chance of someone not getting enough opportunity. I'd be inclined to agree… That our best mid is pedri with casado and Olmo up front. A close second for me would be Casado and and gavi with Pedri up front. And a third would be pedri and gavi with Olmo up front… Unfortunately, I don't see FDJ getting into these combos in his current state. Different story once he is fully fit.
The fact that we are complaining even when we are winning 3-1 speak volumes of how much we have changed in terms of expecting as compared to recent seasons. It is a good problem but it need to address soon especially on the midfield combination.
We need to learn how to cherish Hansi Flick man, look at Bayern right now they are already missing him.
Can we talk about Olmo that made lamine yamal frustrate 2 times. Lamine had 2 times an open goal but olmo didnt passed because he wanted his hattrick. I do think it was a mistake of olmo because barca is strong as a team not individual.
Imagine a midfield of gavi, casado and fermin 💀, that wouldnt be really technical but from the intensity… would be crazy
anyone who thinks gavi should play over casado is fuckin stupid, Casado is the most important player in midfield
I think De Jong plays better with Olmo at the 10 and Fermin plays better with Pedri at the 8. Pedri, Olmo and Gavi are synergistic with every option
I've always criticised Frankie for not sending long passes when strikers make runs, these are the few details that makes Cassado stands out and it has given Barca some cheat codes. Those surprise long passes by Cassado. Frankie must not allow his players to waste energy in making runs and he doesn't releases these long passes. He has the vision , those short triangular passes has been decoded by many teams. Raphina should be allowed to keep doing what he's doing he's gonna get good by every game.
cannot wait for the podcast, been waiting so long to hear this good news
Gavi and Casado playing together has the same limitations as Pedri and FDJ playing together
Pablo torre should of came on in that game hopefully he gets play against red star Belgrade
Ansu also did well with the little time he had i dnt whether u guys see that jamie
Simply disagree that Frenkie played a bad game. Like the in the clasico, he brought control to the game, and maybe it slowed a bit because Pedri was getting tired. Frenkie was distributing the ball well and calm, and maybe Fermin limited the options and the cleverness that Olmo has in his game – which then limited Frenkie.
No, Frenkie wasnt amazing. But he wasnt bad. He wast just allowed to be as good.
In the second half before he came on, things had already got out of control in the game.
Lets give Frenkie some credit instead of critizing him unfairly
It's funny how frenkie is the oldest midfielder in our midfield, But he's the one who needs babysitting to flourish
Frankie would be important for big big games. Eg, the Real Madrid match 💫
The only bad combination will be De Jong and Pedri but the rest will be perfect and 🔥
🔴🔵❤
We need to be patient really with Frenkie. There are a lot of games. So he also needs to apply himself.
Raphinha deserves the captain band cos he also proved his leadership into the team. ❤❤❤
Tomorrow's UCL Barca team lineup vs Red Star something will be:
Inaki Pena in goalkeeper
Balde in Left Back
Inigo Martinez & Pau Cubarsi in Center Back
Kounde in Right Back
Pedri, Casado in Central Midfield
Dani Olmo as Attacking Midfield
Raphinha in Left Wing
Lewandoski as a Number 9
Lamine Yamal in Right Wing
I think the podcast is a brilliant idea would definitely be a constant listener
This the coach i have been missing for so long since guardiola and ella
When olmo came in for a elasico I just knew we already won the game though I was among those who used to say that we don't need olmo we just need Nico but man he proved me wrong 😂😂😂
I'm glad we are helping Madrid and Athletico score all the goals they can't score😂😂Visca Barça
Casado and Gavi can work but with Pedri playing 10 because you still will need a player that can dictate the game. Olmo is not that type. I would also love to see that combo of Gavi and Casado especially against a team like Real Madrid 😂
I think Flick needs to rest some players like Yamal or Raphinha.. Hector Fort is solid as sub for Kounde we saw that last game Gerard Martin is our only weak link on the team
ok Jamie,
one thing we should never ever see again is to play Pedri together with Frankie, that a formula for a disaster, both are players who like to create more than anything, so the defensive part of the game will be none existing. another duo that should never be on the same pitch. is Ansu and Yamal, another one is Olmo and Lopez.
to make that midfield work with all,
the best for now is Pedri-Cassado-OLmo but we can make alternatives as follows:
Frankie-Cassado-Olmo
Pedri-Cassado-Lopez
Frankie-Gavi-Olmo (when should we rest Cassado)
experimental:
Gavi-Cassado-Dejong this can work for low teams
Gavi-Pedri-Lopez
Gavi-Tore-Olmo
anywhere let me leave the headache part to Flick, that's his job!
This freaking team could actually dominate europe gor a while …i mean why not ?? 40 goals ?
Please put your podcast on Spotify!
it’s so sad to see frankie playing this way. he was such a huge talent when we signed him and i hate see this drop off from him. i was sure he was going to be one of the successors to that iniesta, xavi and busi midfield
i do think to start each game olmo pedri and casado are the perfect trio
in terms of having to rest the other 2, gavi and frenkie do make me excited
Gavi, Casado, and Fermin. Let’s cause Chaos🔥🔥🔥🔥
Your comment on Frenkie are just going to fuel the hate against Frenkie , he has been great but your practically trying to put all the drop off on him when he wasn't even the only one who came on smh, do better Jamie .
