philfearon:

We still had MSN in 2015/2016 and didn't win UCL... infact we were dumped out the same way we got dumped out last season.
You guys should stop living in fantasy and come to the reality that Superb seasons come and go...

philfearon:

That is the reality. Do we have any other midfielder better than him in our current crop of players?
Infact, how many midfielders in the world are better than him at the moment even at his age?

Olamyyde:

Roberto is poor defensively, he is always exposing pique. Almost all the attacks from psv came from roberto's side. He is good at attacking but i don't think we can win the champions league with roberto as our main rb.

femiti:

Who would have thought a certain Sergio could 'dislodge' yaya and confine mascherano to cb?

We get a cm that can control play effectively...bye bye to workhorse

I ask you again...is that so?

boylemonade:
Please don't get me angry.

Our last two matches have been the worst matches of Barcelona this season..

The score line do not reflect the true colour of the game..

If PSV players were decisive and were as good as the attacking players of Liverpool, PSG, Chelsea or even inter Milan,, do you know how many goals they would had scored?
Can't you see how our defenders left lots of spaces at the back?
can't you see how many times they countered us?

Try giving Liverpool or Tottenham that defensive space and see how they will disgrace us..

I was angry in most parts of the game..


This was the same mistake we did against roma and we suffered for it, due to the fact that Roma attackers were not PSV attackers..

I watched the PSG vs Liverpool game yesterday and i began to fear for Barcelona..

Our defenders apart from semedo and umtiti,, they don't have this ruthlessness,, they can't cover space,, can our defenders cancel out Mbappe, cavani, di maria and neymar, like the way Liverpool defenders did?

I'm a Barcelona fan but Barcelona has the worst defenders amongst the top teams of the world..

philfearon:

Not Coutinho, not Arthur, nor Vidal is going to dislodge Rakitic from his position!!!

HumbleBoy21:
The players must create another tactics, passing the bakl in the box 18 makes no sense.

HumbleBoy21:
if only our coach can start Author in the next match. And malcom

Aside from Alba what other left back do we have. ?

And is vermalaen still a barca player ?

Sommyroy10:
Is this defense really better than Enrique's?

Sommyroy10:
Liverpool 6 games - 4 goals conceded.(0.66 goals conceded per game.)
Barcelona 5 games - 3 goals conceded.(0.6 goals conceded per game)
Both league and champions league.

Valencia wants to bring shame to Spain.

Miremoses1:
even with ororo gone, they still cant capitalize.

I hear their GOAT got a red card

Debroslink:


What are you even saying? Have we been having superb seasons for the past 3 years? Haven't you learnt that 1 UCL title is greater than domestic double?

MSN didn't score enough in 2015/16, and even fired blank in 180 minutes against Juve. For us to win the UCL, all our strikers must be on hot form throughout this season especially in knockout. Dembele has starred very very well so far.

Isomerizm:
More like a hattrick of goalless matches.

Upnepaa:


Rakitic is a word class midfielder any day any time, but to me, he seems to be the weakness in Barca's midfield over the years. Right, he is doing his job as a midfielder and will fit into any team in the world, especially the counter attacking and direct styled teams, but I don't believe he is creative enough for a team like Barca, Rakitic of Croatia and Rakitic of Barca are world apart simply because Croatia's style of play suits him like a glove.

philfearon:

Is he allowed to be that much creative as you stated?
He has a job, and he is doing it just fine... There is a reason he is the most played Player in the team both during Enrique's time and now!

I'm 100% sure that Enrique and Valverde did not tell Rakitic to put a leash on his creative side, because honestly, his creative instinct is average at best.

Like Upnepaa said, he is the weakness in our midfield when you compare our midfield with other top clubs. He is doing a good job in the defensive aspect, but that's not all that is required from a Top club Central Midfielder. Compare Rakitic with the likes of Modric, Pogba, De Bruyne etc and you'd see why Rakitic is the weakness in our midfield. These guys also put in a lot of defensive work, but they also offer more to their teams.

If Rakitic can leave his comfort zone and be frequently giving perfect passes like he gave to Messi against PSV, the creative burden on Messi would be reduced and it would speed up our attacks.

Nicolars:


pogba defensive work? fvck ...lol
