One thing I observed with cr7 sympathisers is that they are all man utd supporters.. I wonder why they can't let things go

Ronaldinho left and my likeness for him ended likewise oda star players
I wonder y man utd fans can concentrate on rooney,dimaria et al.. than focus on Ronaldo who ain't coming back

3 goals in 4 games is not a bad thing,3 braces in 4 games is stunning. But 3 hat-tricks in 4 games is borderline ridiculous please. Ahn ahn.

Debroslink:


My bros, you self see am? Tevez and Pogba are doing well, but no man utd fan is talking about them. No true real Madrid fan in Nigeria. That's why their thread has the lowest followers. The truth is Penaldo is greater than all man utd players put together, hence they worship him. But no matter his status, he will always be behind King Messi.

What a pity for you all.

RM will always be ahead no matter.
Sadly most of you cant live with that fact.

Carry on loosers. Enjoy.

But seriously now, you can't obviously be satisfied with the current playing level of Bartra, no barca fan I know is (in real life that is)

His errors cost us too much. From the Munich disgrace where he was outmuscled to the copa clasico final where he was outpaced, we shouldn't be putting 100% faith in him, especially in big games. His errors aren't a one-time thing unlike the majority of defenders you mentioned

Did you watch Thievy's goal against us versus almeria?

I don rest my case until some tells me a great defender that has never been beaten silly by a player before. Even Canavaro was ridiculed after winning the Balon d'or. Batra may not rank among the greats but he is not as bad as some cules paint him.

My problem with this argument is that; why is Bartra the scapegoat? Why is it that no one is pointing such finger at Pique? You just highlighted Bartra's failures (at least let's put it that way), would you be benevolent enough to do same with Pique? You will discover that you won't be able to harness them because he has done it countlessly.

And my point has always been, if Bartra is scolded this much, then Pique should be shot! Bartra was outpaced by Bale right? And overpowered by Bayern. And also outpaced by Thievy. Pique is always outpaced (even more than Bartra(abi you wan argue am?)). Pique is always overpowered (Samaras? Robinho? Ronaldo all the time? just to name a few). Pique is the easiest defender to dribble (at least IMHO). Pique lacks good positional play (did you see how he was beaten during the second half? When he positioned himself high up and allowed a player to get out of his sight, which resulted in a counter-attacking move). Pique loses concentration like there is no tomorrow (no keed to count sef else my phone fit blow (lol)). Pique does far more errors than Bartra can ever think of doing.

Need I remind you that in our last match against Huesca, Bartra committed a foul, and it was his first foul after playing for more than 700minutes. He marks clean and is always alerted. I ain't saying he is saintly in this regards, as he has his own flaws no doubt. But let's cut him some slack.

Abeg, you can blame Bartra all you want. But before you do, always deal with Shakira first.

Lol. The argument actually started with philfearon mentioning Bartra not pique, but then again about your points, you and I know that there are some players who can get away with bad play; Messi isn't always 100% everytime, iniesta has been playing badly this season, Xavi isn't the same player anymore, alves is finished, Pedro is ……, boateng made an error that made aguero score the winner against bayern, terry slipped against man utd in the UCL final in 2008, Ramos makes silly fouls and get red cards, plus he slipped against robben at the WC, I can go on and on cos the list is long but my point is fans forget these players' error much easier than others. Why? Cos they've paid their dues, they're legends, not that they have license to misbehave but they can be forgiven easily and the thing is PIQUE is one of these players. I don't criticize pique but I don't praise him either. Putting Bartra in the same sentence as these players is absolute trash

Bro, the whole team was out muscled in Munich. Stop making the lad a scapegoat! You might not like him, but he's not as worse as you want us to believe.

Yeah but it coincided with when he started. Well I'm not saying he's the worst, my point is we can do better

Na the emboldened word be the point. End of story

Ohh I see... From your post, one can deduce that these so-called legends started out to be legends and didn't have humble beginnings like Bartra. Do you mind counting their errors before they became legends? Puyol? Pique? Cannavaro? Thuram? Lizarazu? Desaily? Ramos? (you know how them take useless am?) Maldini? Nesta? De Boer? Stam? Ferdinand? Haba! the list is endless. Tell me if the aforementioned started as veterans. Infact, I can say authoritatively that Bartra at this stage of his is far better than many of the aforementioned names when they were at his age/level.

So, don't look at it from when they became world class, but from their beginning. And tell me how many had better beginning than Bartra. Abeg, leave story for tortoise jare.
