It's less about depending on Yamal but other players besides Lewy, Phinha, Olmo, Pedri consistently stepping up with goal contributions. Players like Balde, Cubarsi, Gavi, Fermin & Pau Victor.

Barcelona ARE NOT too dependent on Yamal. Here is why: firstly I think it's safe to say that Yamal is one of our most important players and to some perhaps the most important. Take any teams best player away from them and that team will undoubtedly be worse off without them. Dependence is the wrong word, it isn't as if the team passes to Yamal and expect him to make something happen. This happened with Messi at barca. The drop in performance from Yamal's absence can be attributed to our lack of depth. The biggest reason why we are so much worse without Lamine isn't only because we are missing a star player it is also because we don't have a natural replacement. Without a natural replacement the dynamic of the build up and attack drastically change (and for the worse).
No, your interpretation of dependence is wrong. Being dependent on Yamal doesn't mean he's creating every assist, goal, and stopping every shot from going into the goal, it's just another way to highlight how he's our most important player. His absence creates the biggest butterfly effect on the entire team which means we need him and depend on him. The stats with and without Yamal speak for themselves. There's no shame in admitting that we suck without him
@@skcans dude that’s what I’m saying. His absence changes the dynamic of team because we have to play players outside of their best positions . So we are on the same page
Hansi Flick should give Wojciech Szczęsny a chance because Barcelona needs a goalkeeper of his quality. He brings experience, consistency, and leadership-qualities that can elevate the squad.
Szczesny is world-class, but iñaki is at his best moment alongside the rest of La Masia players, no need to stop that momentum just to have a "big name" keeper who might not have that edge anymore. People forget his last season at Juventus, there is a reason hes not there anymore.

First of all, Huge fan. I have one review about the podcast. It kinda does feel like a normal video just without the pictures and doesn't have a very podcast feel to it, but maybe it's just me. I would suggest maybe someone else pick the questions and you can read it live during the podcast so we can get your unfiltered thoughts. Regardless, thanks for always uploading and keeping the community engaged even during difficult times. Much appreciated!!
Thanks for the kind support my friend, it’s much appreciated! And thanks for the great feedback, I will definitely have a think about that. Right now, these podcast episodes are just meant to be ‘bonus’ content - they aren’t replacing the normal videos. For example yesterday, I would’ve usually not uploaded and taken a day off, but with this, I was still able to upload something at least 😀
20:20 I really like Frenkie and want to see him succeed in Flick's Barça, under Koeman and Xavi, he was one of our more dependable players when he was fit, even going as far as to be deployed at centre back multiple times. If we unlock a proper use for him in this team, I'm absolutely down. I don't know why, but I celebrated his goal the hardest on Tuesday, I think it could really be the beginning of something really good
we should keep christensen, he’s vital to the depth of the squad + as a center he’s capable of starting & as a cdm he’s a great back up to casado if we need him there.
Thank God someone else mentioned that Frenkie play on CAM against Mallorca. But I think Flick only going to use him there if our forwards can already overwhelmed their defense, if the opponents need to score a goal and committing more players forward. Frenkie was put there by Flick because Flick sees so many loose ball or scrappy duel without our player getting the ball back at their half. Frenkie number one in stamina, he lead our team every season since he was here on average KM per game and never been benched except when he was out injured.
At Ajax you could already see that Frenkie's best quality is in attack and passing creativity. Frenkie would be great as a 3rd midfielder in the attack.
@@johnalvarez4138just like you can't force a striker to play as a CB, you also can't force and attacking midfielder to play as a CDM. FDJ is an attack minded player, he plays well when he's given freedom to attack and he can give his best in that position
Hey Jamie, I’ve always been hesitant to comment because I didn’t want to “waste” my time for you not to see it. I decided to comment on your last video for the first time and you answered my question about if Roque could score. I loved the answer but like you said Roque plays with his full heart and I think there will be a hunger from him to prove that he’s good enough for our starting lineup and what better way than to score against our back line. I hope i’m wrong and we see a dominant barca performance but I guess we will have to wait and find out on Saturday! Visca el Barça!!❤️💙
Thanks for the great question my friend! I will always appreciate seeing your comments here and you should more often for sure. Let’s see what Roque will produce against us this weekend, I’m sure he’ll be motivated with plenty to prove, but hopefully we can get the result we need regardless 😎
De Jong is definitely better with more attacking and less defending responsibilities. If he and Olmo can be swapped every match it would be great for their prolonged health. Lamine takes on defenders and takes more chances with his passing than most other players , and his mind is 5 steps ahead so that makes him pretty difficult to replace, but the bench should take note. Christensen and Araújo returning is great for Cubarsí and Martinez...even Kounde, Casadó and Pedri can be rested from those 2 returning combined with Garcia. This team will have A LOT of depth which can help lock in some meaningful trophies
Frenkie de Jong's position is the number 10. Disgracefully Barcelona prevented him from playing in this role in order to preserve the 4-3-3 formation. The Dutch's worst problem in the World Cup was having Frenkie dropping deep just like in Barcelona.
For me, the Yamal dependance is also a lot down to having no replacement. Maybe Toni Fernandez can be that, or a new signing, but Fermin, Ferran, Fati, even Raphinha, don't fill the role that Yamal has. We need a backup, not one who is as good, but who can fill the same kind of role. We will always be better with Yamal, but we need to still function without him
I am very interested to see if frenkie will perform better as a CAM. He has definitely shown that their is potential in the one game that he was subbed into that position. My only concern is whether or not he will be able to keep up with flicks pressing. Perhaps this is an area in frenkie's game that flick could improve.
I think he would be able to. And the reason for it is because he does possess a little bit of pace in him he also has great stamina when he is at his best so I for one think he will do well especially when it comes to pressing
As a pivot, I’m not sure Frankie will succeed in Flick’s very direct system. Players like Casado and Bernal are likely to flourish under him. Frankie tends to take more time on the ball, often slowing the game down. He could be tried in a more advanced position where his physicality, passing ability, vision, and composure on the ball could be more effective. In this role, he might serve as a substitute for Olmo, who is very injury-prone.
The only winger who can really replace lamine is Salah, the problem with lamine is that not only is he a wi German who an dribble but he has world class playmaking abilities.
Hey Jamie, big fan of your channel! Just had a question to see if you could answer on your next podcast. If Gundogan was still at Barca, how would you think he’d perform under Hansi Flick and also, do you think he’d have a place in the starting lineup? Keep up the good work!
Wow thanks for the great support my friend! And that’s an excellent question, something I’ve been thinking about myself a lot this season actually. I will definitely answer this soon! 😎
I see new talkfcb video, I click on new talkfcb video. Insane dedication Jamie. Keep the podcast incoming and hopefully maybe we see some guest if u up for it. Love the videos.
I really like this podcast version of talkfcb. The regular videos are a bit too short for me at times but perfect for other moments. I hope Jamie is able to do both without overworking! Cheers and I think I am also a long time listener.
My ex-girlfriend once told me she would leave my side if I continue to listen to your videos. But guess what she left, and I am still here for updates. One love all the way from Namibia
@@ChrispiChicken legitimacy is what i live for, hence the reason why I only listen to TalkFCB updates when it comes to Barcelona news. Jamie has been keeping it real for years.
Inaki is definitely playing because of his style and his qualities, he is quick on his feet, agile and assured in passing the ball, he modeled his game after Marc, he is his role model.
i would say we need to keep Christensen. he is better for us for cb and dm as well. We need to sell frenkie next summer. it would be better for us. Marc bernal's recovery is crucial too.
I loveee these podcasts I have such a busy schedule I don’t have the luxury of watching the videos so having this play in the background while driving or lifting is a god send 🙌🏽🙌🏽
The Torres hate train need to stop, y’all don’t understand that Flicks systems needs him?… he’s not at the quality he once was but we do need his forward pressing and he pops up with goals now and then and for rotation.
@ learn football, Hve wouldn’t have 3868 bbeen bought by City and then Barca with interest from a lot of other clubs.. bet you were one of the Rafinha out haters too… stfu
me to i think that dejong can be Interresting in more advanced position. he is good technicaly, fast, can give the assists, can shoot, can score, can press....
You missed the whole point with Yamals dependency. The point was not wether Yamal can handle the pressure or not, the point was wether the team is to dependent on him during matches, so when he does not play there is no one on the field to take his responsibilitys.
@@kuzey_58 Yes I agree! Fati, Ferran and Pau is simply not good enough. Also Raphinia is actually more of an attacker than a proper winger, he finishes chances, rather than creating them.
Great channel J. Been a fan for hmmm dunno!! How long u been up online 🎉🎉 I think we need defensive right back and left too. A left winger. Just incase. Lastly someone to make Robert uncomfortable for however many years he got left. And we are good ♥️💙♥️💙
Jamie we thank you for the Good work and effort you are putting,am kindly requesting if possible you podcast face to face so that we get to know you better,on the side of our team less work extra hard as Mac Casado ,raphinha and Yamal just to name a few not forgetting our back line ,less not back down becoz our opponents are not sleep
I see flick getting rid of that Yamal dependency in the near future to come Flick isn't so silly. Seeing Madrid burn makes me feel so good but at the same time it feels so weird and good in one seeing dem like this its like I'm not use to Madrid like this lol.
I hope vitor roque drops a hat trick on us and celebrates every goal. Will never forgive the club for disrespecting him the way they did. I’m rooting for you vitor ❤️💙
@ real barca fans who who have respect think the same thing. We ruined the poor kid because we hyped him up and never gave him a chance that he deserved.
I think you should have a different wallpaper for the prodcast episodes. I know that result will be lese views but more engagement and people that will more likely listen to the end. Love your content overall 🤌🏼
@TalkFCB I don’t agree with your point 100% on Christensen being able to replace Casado. Speaking only on the defensive aspect of the Pivot role; Casado defends spaces as well as being a ‘hunter’ - being able to chase down the ball and opposition player. This ‘hunter’ approach is critical for our style of play. Christensen can only defend spaces and cannot be the ‘hunter’ we need.
Yamal is the most talented teenager since Ronaldo R9. He's on Pele 1958 level. But Lamine needs to develop better finishing and score more goals. He should have 11-12 goals by now. I still prefer Nico Williams over Rafael Leao.
It's a coincidence that we lost the games we played without Lamine. All those matches the whole team played bad, pressing was down, passes not accurate, creativity less etc from everyone. And that is not due to Lamine's absence. 1 The team as a total and individual should play at the same level with or without Lamine. 2 Without Lamine Barca should be 100% and with Lamine 120 %. 3 With someone else playing RW the team as a whole should still win the matches in a similar way/quality as with Lamine at RW.
It’s not a coincidence at all. Without Lamine, Raphihna is our only natural winger, and he doesn’t play wide on the touchline anymore. That’s why we struggled to create, there’s no space, our team is too narrow, and our only wide option was Balde or Martin on the left. We don’t have other natural wingers
@jwashington7237 Read well The whole team played bad. Pressed bad, passed bad, no confidence. Has NOTHING to do with Lamine's absence. Only with lack of form and energy in the whole team. .
@@stefanstefanescu3202 whether we like it or not, everything on the pitch is connected. I’m not saying there weren’t poor passing displays (our passing was poor in our last few wins as well). But also think about the timing and space of the players playing the ball. Lamine not only drags multiple defenders wide to him - which opens up spaces in the middle to pass into and receive the ball - but he also is excellent at being the press with the dribble, allowing us to get out from the back even if our passing is poor. Were it completely dependent on him for everything, but it’s not coincidental that the only time we don’t have a natural touch line winger, we struggle with chance creation and breaking down teams. It’s easy to defend us when everything is central and all you have to do is sit behind the ball. You can’t do that with a touch line winger, especially not one as excellent with the ball at his feet as Lamine. To give an example with a player not in our team, if we had successfully signed Nico Williams last summer, I don’t think you see this dip in form, because we would have a pacey winger on the right (or left since he plays both) who can beat multiple players off the dribble and pick a pass into the box. So while it’s not totally Lamine dependency since we’re lacking a profile, because he’s the ONLY player of that profile, it’s not a coincidence we struggled
The Celta and Las Palmas performances weren't as bad as you think just because we dropped points in those games the results were just against us, Sociedad was the only real bad performance of that 3 game span and even then we lost that game because of an individual mistake from Kounde allowing the runner to get goal side of him. Although we can say for certain our level drops without Yamal but not as far as people are making it out to be, if you only look at the results though you'd come to that conclusion, but watching the full 90s against Celta and Las Palmas It's more unlucky the way things turned and Yamal played the 2nd half of that Las Palmas game as well and that's where we lost it.
@ facts, that’s why I feel like it only seems like it’s yamal when it’s really just we need a true winger and he’s the only one. We really could’ve won all those games besides Sociedad with even just a solid winger with the profile we need. But obviously when we go to sign someone, we should sign someone great!
Keeping Christensen is the right move. He's a versatile player that adds a lot of depth to the squad and we know how good of a player he is. We have an incredible partnership with Iñigo and Cubarsi, and with Araujo's return closing in and Christensen looking to be back by February, obv they have to fight for their spots but these 4 being available we are looking stacked defensively.
Lamine Yamal is the most important attacker in this team and he needs to get alot more rest than he's getting because without him in the team barca dont creat as much chances also stills..
Another possibility, with all center-backs fit and ready, is to deploy a three-back line of Araújo, Íñigo, and Cubarsí. Christensen, Jules, and Eric could substitute for them.
I am in NO WAY UNDERSTATING THE IMPORTANCE OF YAMAL, but i feel that the struggle without him is more the struggle due to lack of real wingers than on the player. Flicks style depends a lot on wingers (coman, gnabry, etc in bayern)
I don’t believe were necessarily yamal dependent but more dependent on the archetype of player that yamal is, if we had another winger of the same caliber at drawing defenders we wouldn’t notice “yamaldependencia”
One Frenkie's best game for barca was his game against napoli where he played as a 10 in that match n he was incredible scoring that banner dumping the ball for aubameyang goal n his overall proformance was Good
Roque should not celebrate, because you never know, maybe he has to or want to return in the summer to Barcelona, he should be respectfull to his own club, just to keep the doors open.
I never understood the Tah rumors. I'm sure he is a great player, but is he a significant upgrade over Andreas or Ronald? I'm not so sure. Only thing I could think of is the club is planing to keep our depth in defence after next year when Martinez contract is up. On FDJ the game was already over when he came on, Mallorca pretty much gave up after 3-1. So I'm not sure that showing is a great indicator.
bro please dont use that rotating logo in video its just annoying instead use clips or photos of the topic you are talking on other than that i love your content love from INDIA VISCA BARCA
Hi, Jamie. I know we're not even halfway through this campaign but looking ahead to the next one, who do you think will be on the chopping block? Valle is doing decent in Scotland, getting crucial UCL experience to boot. Fort deserves a promotion. If Ibrahim Diarra can replicate his U17 WC form, we have a good option to back up Yamal, plus Toni Fernandez. At the number 10, we currently have Fermin, Torre, Olmo, and Raphinha, with Guille Fernandez in tow. Base of midfield, there are Pedri, Gavi, and the Marcs. Plus Eric Garcia and Christensen. How long do you reckon we could see Inigo play at this level? We don't have another left-footed CB. I think, personally, that Frenkie, Ferran, and Ansu are all in more danger than the rest of the current squad. Plus, Pau Victor needs more time to develop. If La Masia is known for one thing, it is producing good midfielders. Darvich is being modified into a RW. Garrido, Prim, Unai, and a few others are waiting in line. Dani Rodriguez is an explosive winger. Do you think he will get a shot with the first team anytime soon? He can play on either flank, much like Raphinha. Then there are Juan Hernandez, Oscar Gistau, Pedro Rodriguez, Quim Junyent and so many more. Who else do you see making way next summer? And, lastly, who makes way for the signing of Diarra this winter from Barca Atletic?
I just hope Frenkie's ankle can fully heal. It is clearly on his mind and he does look like he plays within himself a little. It's going to be a process for him to comeback from that from both a physical and mental aspect so I wish the fans can just lay off him and support him a little.
The Frenkie situation is interesting. He used to play CB for Ajax. He had very good defensive qualities. It all changed after that Valverde tackle. He plays with a bit of fear. I would love to see him higher up the pitch. Considering Olmo can’t stay fit it’s a better option than Fermin
I think Yamal's dependency is misunderstood heavily. Yes he is only but 17 years young, but the fact is he is world class at 17, if we play him WAY too much he'll break, but now if we DONT play him as much the team is at a loss, and his talent and capacity is lowered, I believe if barcelona get this right, we are looking at one of the greatest players the game has ever seen.
We have a LOT of interesting topics up for discussion today... 👀

I see new talkfcb video, I click on new talkfcb video. Insane dedication Jamie. Keep the podcast incoming and hopefully maybe we see some guest if u up for it. Love the videos.
Podcasts are the best!
I really like this podcast version of talkfcb. The regular videos are a bit too short for me at times but perfect for other moments.
I hope Jamie is able to do both without overworking! Cheers and I think I am also a long time listener.
Don't you feel Raphina Yamal Duo as Ronaldinho Messi Duo ? So many similarities.... ❤
My ex-girlfriend once told me she would leave my side if I continue to listen to your videos. But guess what she left, and I am still here for updates. One love all the way from Namibia

No way theis story is real
Cap 🧢
@@ChrispiChicken legitimacy is what i live for, hence the reason why I only listen to TalkFCB updates when it comes to Barcelona news. Jamie has been keeping it real for years.
Inaki is definitely playing because of his style and his qualities, he is quick on his feet, agile and assured in passing the ball, he modeled his game after Marc, he is his role model.
i would say we need to keep Christensen. he is better for us for cb and dm as well. We need to sell frenkie next summer. it would be better for us. Marc bernal's recovery is crucial too.
Christensen is our most balanced cb
Yeah idk why they want to sell him
So if you are barcelona coach you will sell frankie, hmmm
Thank God you are not our coach
How can you sell frankie out from this squad
Let's not bottle the lead this time.
Bru😥
Do you script these? You are so well spoken and almost never take a breath haha
My only fear about Lamine Yamal is his dad. He can become greedy and cause issues between his son and the club.
I loveee these podcasts I have such a busy schedule I don’t have the luxury of watching the videos so having this play in the background while driving or lifting is a god send 🙌🏽🙌🏽
We need to sell Torres, Garcia, Doninguez, Martin, Lenglet and Fati. We definitely need to keep Christensen
Agreed
The Torres hate train need to stop, y’all don’t understand that Flicks systems needs him?… he’s not at the quality he once was but we do need his forward pressing and he pops up with goals now and then and for rotation.
@lee-nationtv6954 bro what are you yapping about he was never a quality you are one of those player fc
@ learn football, Hve wouldn’t have 3868 bbeen bought by City and then Barca with interest from a lot of other clubs.. bet you were one of the Rafinha out haters too… stfu
I feel sad I think we should keep Christensen
We're going to see masterclass Vitor Roque play like Prime Cristiano Ronaldo against us
He can’t play😊
@@Clipz_troll he can but nobody knows if he will
me to i think that dejong can be Interresting in more advanced position. he is good technicaly, fast, can give the assists, can shoot, can score, can press....
You missed the whole point with Yamals dependency. The point was not wether Yamal can handle the pressure or not, the point was wether the team is to dependent on him during matches, so when he does not play there is no one on the field to take his responsibilitys.
Same, I feel we need a proper winger on left side too who can lessen the load on yamal, what do you think?
@@kuzey_58 Yes I agree! Fati, Ferran and Pau is simply not good enough. Also Raphinia is actually more of an attacker than a proper winger, he finishes chances, rather than creating them.
@@kuzey_58
No
Honestly....I was so happy they lost even though I was ill 😂but that penalty was spot on though. Kepa really messed it up there
supper thanks to talkfcb i wake up every morning listing to to this channel before starting work at office 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Mbappe is a low key Barcelona fan
Bahahahahah true
Yamal is a blessing. Barcelona is blessed to have him
Frankie's new position is his ideal position. I have always thought of it.
Great channel J. Been a fan for hmmm dunno!! How long u been up online 🎉🎉
I think we need defensive right back and left too. A left winger. Just incase. Lastly someone to make Robert uncomfortable for however many years he got left. And we are good ♥️💙♥️💙
Jamie we thank you for the Good work and effort you are putting,am kindly requesting if possible you podcast face to face so that we get to know you better,on the side of our team less work extra hard as Mac Casado ,raphinha and Yamal just to name a few not forgetting our back line ,less not back down becoz our opponents are not sleep
What about kenan yildiz on left as a rotational player , he is way more cheap and is a fantastic player ❤💙
Enjoyed the podcast👍
Thanks a lot Felix! 🙏
It's nice to experience something new☺️
I see flick getting rid of that Yamal dependency in the near future to come Flick isn't so silly.
Seeing Madrid burn makes me feel so good but at the same time it feels so weird and good in one seeing dem like this its like I'm not use to Madrid like this lol.
The only weakness of yamal is scoring g and once he gets rid of that weakness then the dependency on him will only increase
Will these podcasts be on Spotify?
Really enjoying it ❤🎉
I wait for these videos so much... first one here😂
Maybe Roque won’t celebrate against us. But like Jaime says he’s very passionate as well.
The moment i thought why haven't Jamie uploaded any video, and this video notification came😂
I hope vitor roque drops a hat trick on us and celebrates every goal. Will never forgive the club for disrespecting him the way they did. I’m rooting for you vitor ❤️💙
Tf is wrong with u😂😂
@ real barca fans who who have respect think the same thing. We ruined the poor kid because we hyped him up and never gave him a chance that he deserved.
I think Vitor Roque playing against Barca will be the ultimate audition for him. I would like it if Vitor scores one but for Barca to viscerate Betis
From the bvi i love barcelone with all my heart just need us to stay focus ....we are going to win it all this season
Seeing the notification I thought Yamal was actually in the podcast 😭
Hahaha… now THAT would be something 😂
Fr
I think you should have a different wallpaper for the prodcast episodes. I know that result will be lese views but more engagement and people that will more likely listen to the end. Love your content overall 🤌🏼
I absolutely love Christensen, he’s an amazing defender and I think the team could use his quality and versatility.
@TalkFCB
I don’t agree with your point 100% on Christensen being able to replace Casado.
Speaking only on the defensive aspect of the Pivot role; Casado defends spaces as well as being a ‘hunter’ - being able to chase down the ball and opposition player. This ‘hunter’ approach is critical for our style of play. Christensen can only defend spaces and cannot be the ‘hunter’ we need.
Bro can u plz add the pictures again its a bit hard to watch without it u know
It’s a lot nicer to watch your videos with pictures…
Yamal is the most talented teenager since Ronaldo R9. He's on Pele 1958 level. But Lamine needs to develop better finishing and score more goals. He should have 11-12 goals by now.
I still prefer Nico Williams over Rafael Leao.
TalkFCB ❤💙
It would be nice to have graphics based on the topic in each segment
It's a coincidence that we lost the games we played without Lamine. All those matches the whole team played bad, pressing was down, passes not accurate, creativity less etc from everyone. And that is not due to Lamine's absence.
1 The team as a total and individual should play at the same level with or without Lamine.
2 Without Lamine Barca should be 100% and with Lamine 120 %.
3 With someone else playing RW the team as a whole should still win the matches in a similar way/quality as with Lamine at RW.
It’s not a coincidence at all. Without Lamine, Raphihna is our only natural winger, and he doesn’t play wide on the touchline anymore. That’s why we struggled to create, there’s no space, our team is too narrow, and our only wide option was Balde or Martin on the left. We don’t have other natural wingers
@jwashington7237
Read well
The whole team played bad. Pressed bad, passed bad, no confidence. Has NOTHING to do with Lamine's absence. Only with lack of form and energy in the whole team.
.
@@stefanstefanescu3202 whether we like it or not, everything on the pitch is connected. I’m not saying there weren’t poor passing displays (our passing was poor in our last few wins as well). But also think about the timing and space of the players playing the ball. Lamine not only drags multiple defenders wide to him - which opens up spaces in the middle to pass into and receive the ball - but he also is excellent at being the press with the dribble, allowing us to get out from the back even if our passing is poor. Were it completely dependent on him for everything, but it’s not coincidental that the only time we don’t have a natural touch line winger, we struggle with chance creation and breaking down teams. It’s easy to defend us when everything is central and all you have to do is sit behind the ball. You can’t do that with a touch line winger, especially not one as excellent with the ball at his feet as Lamine. To give an example with a player not in our team, if we had successfully signed Nico Williams last summer, I don’t think you see this dip in form, because we would have a pacey winger on the right (or left since he plays both) who can beat multiple players off the dribble and pick a pass into the box. So while it’s not totally Lamine dependency since we’re lacking a profile, because he’s the ONLY player of that profile, it’s not a coincidence we struggled
The Celta and Las Palmas performances weren't as bad as you think just because we dropped points in those games the results were just against us, Sociedad was the only real bad performance of that 3 game span and even then we lost that game because of an individual mistake from Kounde allowing the runner to get goal side of him. Although we can say for certain our level drops without Yamal but not as far as people are making it out to be, if you only look at the results though you'd come to that conclusion, but watching the full 90s against Celta and Las Palmas It's more unlucky the way things turned and Yamal played the 2nd half of that Las Palmas game as well and that's where we lost it.
@ facts, that’s why I feel like it only seems like it’s yamal when it’s really just we need a true winger and he’s the only one. We really could’ve won all those games besides Sociedad with even just a solid winger with the profile we need. But obviously when we go to sign someone, we should sign someone great!
As long as its Jamie I'm watching.... Because he's that good
Keeping Christensen is the right move. He's a versatile player that adds a lot of depth to the squad and we know how good of a player he is. We have an incredible partnership with Iñigo and Cubarsi, and with Araujo's return closing in and Christensen looking to be back by February, obv they have to fight for their spots but these 4 being available we are looking stacked defensively.
Lamine Yamal is the most important attacker in this team and he needs to get alot more rest than he's getting because without him in the team barca dont creat as much chances also stills..
What rest? He just came back after a month of injury… he needs to play
But I get you though , he is our most important so we should “manage” his minutes going forward and the coach will
Another possibility, with all center-backs fit and ready, is to deploy a three-back line of Araújo, Íñigo, and Cubarsí. Christensen, Jules, and Eric could substitute for them.
I am in NO WAY UNDERSTATING THE IMPORTANCE OF YAMAL, but i feel that the struggle without him is more the struggle due to lack of real wingers than on the player. Flicks style depends a lot on wingers (coman, gnabry, etc in bayern)
I don’t believe were necessarily yamal dependent but more dependent on the archetype of player that yamal is, if we had another winger of the same caliber at drawing defenders we wouldn’t notice “yamaldependencia”
I appreciate the analysis on Yamal's maturity. I hope he can continue to carry the burden. Let's not forget Ansu Fati...😢
One Frenkie's best game for barca was his game against napoli where he played as a 10 in that match n he was incredible scoring that banner dumping the ball for aubameyang goal n his overall proformance was Good
I was waiting for a video today😂
Roque should not celebrate, because you never know, maybe he has to or want to return in the summer to Barcelona, he should be respectfull to his own club, just to keep the doors open.
I never understood the Tah rumors. I'm sure he is a great player, but is he a significant upgrade over Andreas or Ronald? I'm not so sure. Only thing I could think of is the club is planing to keep our depth in defence after next year when Martinez contract is up. On FDJ the game was already over when he came on, Mallorca pretty much gave up after 3-1. So I'm not sure that showing is a great indicator.
Please give time stamps it will help so much
bro please dont use that rotating logo in video its just annoying instead use clips or photos of the topic you are talking on
other than that i love your content love from INDIA
VISCA BARCA
Just don't look at the screen... it's a podcast not a visual video essay
This new format kinda reminds me of your videos around 2014or 15
14:32 😂😂 that's funny if he scores
I would have preferred if you can atleast show us some pictures just as the match reviews etc..just a suggestion tho
Frankie played so well as a defender so saying that he has no Sense of defending is not correct
Hi, Jamie. I know we're not even halfway through this campaign but looking ahead to the next one, who do you think will be on the chopping block? Valle is doing decent in Scotland, getting crucial UCL experience to boot. Fort deserves a promotion. If Ibrahim Diarra can replicate his U17 WC form, we have a good option to back up Yamal, plus Toni Fernandez. At the number 10, we currently have Fermin, Torre, Olmo, and Raphinha, with Guille Fernandez in tow. Base of midfield, there are Pedri, Gavi, and the Marcs. Plus Eric Garcia and Christensen. How long do you reckon we could see Inigo play at this level? We don't have another left-footed CB. I think, personally, that Frenkie, Ferran, and Ansu are all in more danger than the rest of the current squad. Plus, Pau Victor needs more time to develop. If La Masia is known for one thing, it is producing good midfielders. Darvich is being modified into a RW. Garrido, Prim, Unai, and a few others are waiting in line. Dani Rodriguez is an explosive winger. Do you think he will get a shot with the first team anytime soon? He can play on either flank, much like Raphinha. Then there are Juan Hernandez, Oscar Gistau, Pedro Rodriguez, Quim Junyent and so many more. Who else do you see making way next summer? And, lastly, who makes way for the signing of Diarra this winter from Barca Atletic?
It's funny that our first choice centre backs have been out injured during the entire first half of this season......crazy!!!!
Yes I agree Frenkie would actually thrive in a more advanced role than a deeper role
And Madrid fans were laughing at us now look who’s laughing now😂😂😂
@TALKFCB why not make your podcast with face cam and a green screen background
I just hope Frenkie's ankle can fully heal. It is clearly on his mind and he does look like he plays within himself a little. It's going to be a process for him to comeback from that from both a physical and mental aspect so I wish the fans can just lay off him and support him a little.
The Frenkie situation is interesting. He used to play CB for Ajax. He had very good defensive qualities. It all changed after that Valverde tackle. He plays with a bit of fear. I would love to see him higher up the pitch. Considering Olmo can’t stay fit it’s a better option than Fermin
De jong is a good goal scorer
We need to do what is best for the team. Not what is best for the player
Hopefully flick gives toni fernandez a shot so he has a back up for yamal
I think Yamal's dependency is misunderstood heavily. Yes he is only but 17 years young, but the fact is he is world class at 17, if we play him WAY too much he'll break, but now if we DONT play him as much the team is at a loss, and his talent and capacity is lowered, I believe if barcelona get this right, we are looking at one of the greatest players the game has ever seen.
Hot take: Iñaki Peña is more reliable with the ball than ter Stegen
Frfr
Ter Stegen takes unnecessary risks
Victor roque is saving his energy of us just like the others
