Lol. Honestly, if we didn't have a player as good as Busquets, Gomes would've been very important for us..

Gomes, just like paulinho isn't tactically aware when played in the middle unless you push them to the flank or upfront.

Melvyn11:
bwahahahaha you started watching football in 2015.

Actually 2017. OK!

[quote lauthor=Melvyn11 post=65713534]Sanchez never played as a cf under martino. Barca starting constant eleven under villanova was Messi as 9 flanked by pedro and Sanchez.[/quote]Seems we watched different teams play then. Shalom!

Melvyn11:
under Pep Messi played as a false9 for 3 seasons then under Tito vilanova he played as a false9 Also under Martino also Messi played as basically a centre forward. Thats 5 seasons as a 9/ false9. Ronaldo started playing as a stiker under ancelloti halfway through 2014/2015 season.

Under martino, Alexis was playing cf. Messi's false 9 career ended the day pep left barca. Vilanova played fab4 there more cos he umbalanced the midfield.

Eto'o never played on the wing to accommodate leo in the middle. Leo played false 9 for 2 seasons under pep. Ronaldo has been playing in the middle for the better part of 5yrs. These two are great tbh!

Mr man, i dont think you would be able to manage this same squad on football manager 2018 into the position they are now, not to talk of real life situations, Give the coach some respect, We had low expectations this season after all the bruhaha that sprung up before pre season, same fans would blame him for dropped points if he rotates more, same fans also ask for more rotation, in these situation you need to be very careful to find the right balance, The most important game is the next game...i trust EV to find the right balance

Dmcdad coman give this guy one legend! Same stupid rotation Enrique ruined us with? As far as i'm concerned, Ev is over achieving

[quote author=tesppidd post=65658988]For Malaga

Roberto Vermalen Umtiti Digne
Rakitic Busquets Coutinho
Dembele Messi Suarez


For Chelsea

Roberto Pique Umtiti Alba
Rakitic Busquets Iniesta Paulo
Messi Suarez[/quote]I jvst feel like vidal should start vs malaga with roberto rested

phaamsaam:
its a good template,never said the best template, there are other ways to approach cup competitions especially the ucl, still believed i wouldnt have lost 3nil to juve with EV last season

maybe good, but it thrives mainly when yov are the bleeping underdog

phaamsaam:
exactly,not gungo like klopp, Never believed barca defense would be this solid,it has taken bit of offense,but its a verry goood template for knock out ties

klop is probably an extremist cos his teams lacks balance just like unai, but there's nothing like template for knockout ties if not, attacking minded coaches won't win any cup competitions

phaamsaam:
So true,thats why i am in peace with my coach VAlverde...Balance is key

you can still attack with balance na... Not like Enrique tho

Update on Dembele

https://twitter.com/CaptnGuardiola/status/971049306512855040

This does not sound good at all, but then again after his initial injury and relapse, off the pitch wahala(parents divorce)he should be given till next season. They should probably get him a personal psychologist who can double up as an interpreter till he improves his spanish

Catalan supercup final

scores? It's matches like this that Gomes should be wearing armband

obiorathesubtle:
Streamed few mins. We're balling.

which competition is this?

ClumsyFlimsy:
Easily bench Alves

Anyways sha everybody with their opinion


But Alves can't be easily benched by nobody

Do not mistake vintage Alves to this washed up one. He has been poor since 2015/2016. Madrid used his wing to great effect in the last final.

ClumsyFlimsy:
Fucking lie bro

Alves na still baller o. Forget yesterday


Nobody go bench am for city now

fvckin lie bro, Alves has since lost his consistency. Walker would easily bench him

tesppidd:
Abeg you people should free Paulinho abeg.

When he was performing and scoring goals earlier in the season you people were so happy and using him as a tool to troll on ronaldo.

Every barca midfielder must not be a dribbler like Coutinho or Iniesta.

Paulinho might be the plan B we dreamt of over the years, a new dimension is needed sometimes.

He will come good again like earlier in the season.


Abeg free Paulinho joor.

When he was getting into positions to score those tap in, i stated it clearly here that he can't run a mid that's why Ev is always pushing him front to track back when posession is lost n bully people(he's a donkey at best) you must not be a dribbler to play in the barca mid, you just need the "basic" skills a mid should have such as; good passing, awareness, control,vission et al. Paulinho lacks 85% if not 95% of those.

Olamyyde:
Paulinho is nothing but a super sub. We should have bought seri sef. Thank God we are buying Arthur, I just hope he doesn't end up like Denis or gomes.

Dennis is good, Ev just do not fancy him. Ev knows we need to sort our cm position just like we've done with am (coutinho) Rakitic is on a decline, so he keeps tryin paulinho, Gomes, but unfortunately, they are mediocre at best.

jpmoriarti:
So we won just because you said so ?? Smh!

Octopus paul na him name

Olamyyde:
Gomes is officially as useless as bakayoko...useless player. Maybe he has valverde or Enrique sex tape? That's probably why they play him.

I don't blame EV for not playing dembele. He probably trying to avoid another injury. I just hope Denis Suarez's career isn't over.

I jvst do not understand how we have 2 mid players as poor as A Gomes n paulinho ffs!!! Our least midfielder by our standards should be I. Rakitic, but those 2 make him look like zidane n Laudrup moulded into one

I hope paulinho has proven how useless he can be as a midfielder beyond any reasonable doubt to all cules? Any doubters?

The error that made Mourinho

Yet we keep hearing ovrebo. If this isn't hypocrisy, i wonder what it is?

neezar:
Liar

Mou won laliga with Realmadrid with a record breaking 100 points in his 1st season

His 1st year with Chelsea in 2005 he won the league

His 1st year with Manu..he won three trophies

He didn't win the liga in his first season. you made a mistake, accept it and move on. His first season was 2010/2011 and barca won the liga

neezar:
Conte won the Epl in his 1st season while pep was still there

Ranieri did it with average players while pep was still there

Mou won the Epl in his 1st season with Chelsea

Mou won 3trophies in his year with Utd.....

Why didn't pep do the same....Just asking oo

Enrique won the liga in his first season, pep won in his first season, heck! Even fvckin benitez won with valencia! Why didn't mou do the same.... Just asking oo

tesppidd:
That's what he did with semedo

Semedo was a beast when he signed

Could EV be racist?

paulinho, umtiti, dembele bawo? Even i can't understand why semedo(before injury) wasn't starting games. Mina is somewhat shaky though, they should integrate him gradually into the team

A40:
If he's producing and being a nuisance I doubt anyone would be concerned. However he has become a possession black hole who keeps frustrating with his arcane dribble moves that barely get past anybody. I don't know why he can't do the honorable thing and bow out like other self-respecting players like Lahm and Alonso

Na this old age him wan start him own one corner dance

Isomerizm:
Valverde isn't the suitable manager for Barça tho. Settling for an away draw all the fùcking time?

Playing 4-4-2 with Paulinho who should be fighting battles in Syria?

He should be lucky he has Messi to bail him out in most of his games.

IDC if we win treble, he should be changed if he continues being pussilanimous in his approach to games.

Man of the match: posts.

Ev is doing an excellent job sir! You do realise this is one of the poorest barca squads of recent times with one horse n a camel (rakitic n paulinho) as midfielders? Paulinho's true colours has been showing since jan

A40 remember when i was on Ribery's case? That niqqa sacked ancelloti 100%. Play him, he wont deliver(cos of old age) bench him, he cause mutiny. They were even benching T. Muller for that old papa youngie. How many coaches did he get along with all thru his carrer?

Some barca fans here dey fall hand! Always giving these trolls that emanated from nowhere 15 mins of fame. Learn a thing or 2 from dmcdad, sebod, et al

emmyspark007:
Conte is surely the bad guy
He doesn't respect his players at all
The way in which he kicked Diego Costa out was really disrespectful to some of their senior players.

And why bench a whole david Luis for an unexperienced smallie


Anyways I believe valverde die now
The man his finally proven he is a tactical genius

WE GO HUMP CHELSHIT HOME AND AWAY

I can't wait for us to silence their lousy fans

you are right about everything you said about conte except, you forgot that smallie(christeansen) is 10 times the defender luis is

senorova:
My fellow cules

I am very sorry to have suggested the possibility of Chelsea eliminating barca from the UCL.

The next time I say such nonsense on this thread again, abeg wire me better slap

you do realize that conte could be sacked b4 then? Pique is out, anything can happen. The situation is too similar to 2012

MoR2:
so after spending 280M on coutinho and dembele you want barca to still sign all the remaining star player? i thought barca believes in youth players, wetin do you na academy

So the 15mns of fame you've gotten from united n Chelsea thread didn't satisfy your thirst for limelight.....
