FC Barcelona

Alba

Jordi Alba Ramos

Alejandro Balde

Álex Baldé

Good news but I doubt Xavi will do this. He loves already made players lol

nanasolo

Alba had a bad game again, but that's usual of him...he always has a bad game in every 5-6 games.
he's a self criticising player and doesn't play bad consecutively.
I don't see xavi replacing him next game...mark my words

solomon samora

Marcelo was a veteran and a long serving fullback at Madrid and was relegated to the bench for Ferland Mendy to play. Alba should be having a limited game time pls, he has played alot of games and need rest.

Saidu Yakubu Abacha

Our most weak spots are our Wing-Back position so for; 
LB- Alonso and Balde will do it.
RB- Hector Bellerin and Dest will do it.
No more doubts must be there. As with time both Balde and Dest will develop and Alonso and Hector will leave.

it won't be bad but I know sure Mr Xavi will do that he always believe in already made prayers

Don't be surprise if Xavi doesn't start FDJ in the next game not to talk of Balde

Alba should be amongst the offloaded players because he’s just not at his best and keeps declining

dominic kelvin

Barca keep buying and buying.  Why not use Balde; he is a very good player💪💪

Balde is better in attack than Alba but really need to improve in defence. If he improve his defencive skill i think he could become a regular starter soon.

But we barca fans quickly write off our players....Haba

Sell alba and bring Alonso both Alonso and balde is enough

Adeem Ibrahim Alaaraji

Hi guys, trust we are all doing well. Actually, I feel Balde is a good player and can take over from Alba. That does not negate the fact that Alonso will be a good addition and considering his low cost. Alba has given us a lot and as we know anything that has a beginning must surely have an ending as well. Haven said that, one is for sure. Any player can have a bad day and that doesn't mean ww should call their head. Example, Aroujo has played as right back in a couple of games especially El Clasico and has done wonderfully well manning V. Junior, no body complained at such times, but bcos of the game on Saturday we have started to hear different melodies from fans. Pls don't get me wrong oo.. I prefer playing players in their right position but if the coach see things different then its his call. 

For the next game if Kounde is registered and fit to play I would suggest the following set up. 

Kounde        Aroujo     Christiensen


                     FDJ
Kessie                        Gavi 
                
                     Pedri


Raphinha    Lewy       Dembele  

In conclusion, we need a formation that we make our midfield active and working. So its for Xavi to decide how he would like to line up. But I think a 3-4-3 will be fine. Because our next opponent play attacking game not like Rayo that packed the bus. 

Well.... This is just an opinion tho.

KCB79

a guy who has everything to be like davies but not given the chance and we are busy signing alonso not that alonso is a bad player but with 3 left backs when will his opportunity to develop come?

Gordon Wilson

They will never start Balde ahead of Alba.

Okenwa Collins Wiseone

Xavi should gradually ease out Alba, Sergio and Pique out of the starting 11. They no longer have the legs physical and high intensity football

Mosay

come on guys give him a chance in the second game to perform

I don't believe this news, what I know he needs replacement

Those saying Xavi like already made players, I don't actually know why you guys are saying this but I believe you are newbies of modern day football as Barcelona fans.

Those set of fans are always loud and empty!!

Do you guys think the situation of the club calls for experimentation rather than results??

It seem you don't feel the current heat and pressure on the team especially when we have signed few players and the whole of the world of football is expecting something extra ordinary from us.

You just don't throw the kids into the games just because they are talented but rather groom them with time to build their confidence and area of weakness.

I have 100% trust in xavi and this team because if not for him we'll probably not play any European tournament with koeman this season

MacFizzle

osman Davie phiri

Yes let's try the young talented Alex Balde if the right-hand doesn't get injured one will not know the importance of the left hand.

High Chief Orola

You all think he should bench Alba, lol I hope one day one of you will become a coach or be in a position as xavi even if it not in football then you know how it is.. Some of you saying he loves already made player, lol, but he started Gavi ahead of Frankie and kessie you all killed him for that, if he starts Balde and he doesn't get a good result you all would cut his head off isn't it..?  Who on earth doesn't love already made player when it you fans who wants quick results

D painful part about this is jodi Alba high wages, dey said to whom much is giving much is expected, but alba is becoming mediocre

Samuel Sammy

I really don't know why Xavi don't want to use Balde forgetting that when he was at Balde's age he was given a chance to play

Anthony Jackson

Soky Graphics

If balde is good enough to play against sociedad why the hell are we spending more money to get alonso?? Surely the kid should be given a chance this season rather than get an ageing chelsea left back who’s their 3rd choice now

Jonny Martin

Michael Akinlabi1996

The attack was sterile and they look for the blame at the defenders who did not concede a goal.
