Apart from the highline a CB not doing his job properly was one of the reasons why we lost to inter last season in the second leg, we don't even need just one we need two to give us pace and strength at the backline so we can be maybe free from araujo or rotate cubarsi so he wouldn't be put under pressure always, Joan Garcia has also been conceding cause of the highline sometimes but we can see his goalkeeping talent at display to save us atimes, to get a ball winning DM with the ability to hold possession well in this team is not as easy as it sounds considering most of those ball winners tend to give away the ball several times, we don't only need reinforcements at CB but at LB and RB too for quality depth

Well, i watch the games with observations. Flick had Shoctlebeck, Rudiger in his prime and was still conceding goals due to highline. Most Barca fans are banking on Scholtlrbect from Dortmund because he knows flick. I think the defence will still suffer irrespective of who's at the back. It's a kamikaze tactics that requires CBs constantly running back and facing their own goal. It's very difficult to stand out as a CB in this system. Inigo understood the system so well yet Barca still conceded bucket load of goals

Let's see if they get a CB and if defence improved after that. Then we'll analyse the situation again together. I personally think a DM will serve you guys better because DMs are like the shield. They break up plays even before it gets to the CBs..

Some people are looking for 200k to start a business.

How will someone with disabilities start a successful biz. The money is good but it isn't enough. They're disabled, gather the money and set up something sustainable that can sustain them till their full life. It's done in sane climes like Scotland, USA, Canada etc.

200k is not what they need!!!

Kilishihunter:
Deco just said we are not signing anybody in January, maybe na FFP or Gerard Martin masterclass dey make am talk like that, If players comot maybe small hope fit dey but e don talk am so let's just hope for a good season in Spain till whenever we can fix the team well to compete for UCL

With the way Flick wants to play or is playing. Barca will be better off getting an elite 9 instead of a CB. Someone who can convert chances and put Barca 2 goals up forcing them to open up even further. The tactics is kamikaze and like I said, I don't think a CB will solve it. A DM can solve it though.

Christensen, Martin, Garcia and Curbasi are decent enough for a UCL or Laliga title charge. The main issue is someone to screen the back 4 for them. Signing a CB won't solve the issue. Barca was still leaking goals even with Inigo.

Barca needs a shield (DM) 🛡️🛡️🛡️

Gucciboy:
Two footed ball playing cb but he's short so full back is the best position for him. That's where he is playing at Dortmund .

We need him in January because he can play as Lb to give cucurella some rest

You funny sha lol. How's a player well above 6ft short? You can say other things like he's not strong enough to play CB or may not be trusted by Maresca. In fact you can say everything else but not height lol. The guy is 1.86m that's closer to 6ft2(1.87/1.88m).

The aim should be something more sustainable. Like a long term plan for these people. 200k cannot do much after a month.

Thanks beautiful, I will!

No3 is how every woman should look

Apart from married women with kid s

Very bad advice if you're a woman lmao. I have 3 kids and my wife is alright. Not fat and out of shape at all.

The lady wearing the hijab

She is the only person at the restaurant who can enter the women's rest room (without questioning)

There is no food or drink on her table and one cutlery (probably the knife) is missing.

Lol your analysis is too simplistic. If someone wants you killed, it doesn't really matter the gender. The killer is most likely a man and he may not even be there in the said picture.

jpmoriarti:
I don't know what you define as big game. All games so far this season, have carried only 3 pionts. Not a single trophy won or lost. But you keep yapping big games, just so your agenda can agend 😏😏

A big game is not necessarily a game against big club. A big game is a match where you're directly competing for a trophy or a match which can directly qualify you for a place in the final example quarter finals or semifinals of UCL or a league game which can directly kill your opponents chances of winning the league.

If you define a big game as games against big club, then games against ManUtd is equally a big game even though we know there's nothing as stake other than 3 pionts and perhaps bragging rights 😉

There are three top teams in Spain. Madrid, Barca and Tico. Any game against them is a big game. I've already said I don't really classify games in Laliga as big games only UCL. But this was the most informed team in Laliga and a top 3 team so it's a big game. Big games simply means games Vs top oppositions in UCL aka UCL contenders and may be Laliga.

This is the the sequence to the equaliser. Pedri is shadow marked by players in front of him but he somehow found a way to pass it forward and created a 1vs1 for Ralph. In this situation, Dejong will be twisting, turning, slowing the game down and passing back to Balde or Martin.

Also, observe the image below. Look what's happening here in terms of defensive structure. Pedri is advancing, watch who stayed back in case of a counter or a misplaced pass. That's Eric on the same line with Kounde. Play Dejong and he won't be in that position. He'll stray forward only to go do absolute nothing. Assist you don't give, goals you don't score, pass forward, no ooo, oya stay and protect your back 4 mbah. Which kind player Una get like this lol.

Iqtest:
Enzo, one of the best?🤣 Chief, he rode on Argentina's World Cup momentum. He isn't even one of the best in the EPL, let alone the world. He isn't even better than Iwobi. He's the Temu version of Bellingham.

Until his introduction Vs Mexico, Argentina looked completely lost. You don't start for current Argentina/Chelsea by luck. He's pretty good as a CM.

Kilishihunter:
This Gerard maldini wey start as cruise fit come later no be joke truly, this boy won a physical battle with sorloth in our box 18, I couldn't believe what I was seeing

Betis will test him further....

BykeLaByke:
I like him as a player cause he has the perfect mix of attacking and defending qualities.

Very few midfielders are blended like that.

Plus the fact that he plays every match with maximum effort.

Really thought that not a racist song at all he sang with Argentina would make Chelsea put him for sale cause of the UK and their woke nonsense.

He's good and won the world cup as a DM. I think he'll struggle in the DM role for Barca because he's not a specialist and Flick plays a very high line. Your team needs a dedicated DLP/DM who doesn't care about scoring or venturing forward like Enzo or Dejong. Someone like Kamara or Larson or Zubimendi profile. I think Enzo is Madrid bound if he ever leaves Chelsea.

Iqtest:
I'm 100 percent sure you don't even watch Barcelona matches. I knew it. It's so obvious

now. Lol🤣

Obvious must have another meaning.

You've lost all big games this season with Dejong on the pitch....facts.

The first big game without Dejong Barca won won...facts. dey play 😂😂😂

Key word, abi file sorting is "Dejong"

Iqtest:
Last season against Madrid in the first leg, when we won 4–0, de Jong actually won that game for us.
It was 0–0 when de Jong came on.
He made the pass to Balde that led to the first goal.
But anyway… agenda must agend. 🤣🤣

You've played PSG, Chelsea and a very poor Madrid side no win, loost all not even a draw. The moment Dejong couldn't play the next big game Barca won in style with Martin playing CB. 😂 😂 😂

Iqtest:
Cap. In our last 10 games, Atlético Madrid has managed to win just one. What are you on? 🤣
I guess Frenkie de Jong didn’t even play in all those matches.
This agenda is insane.
Barça win—blame de Jong. Barça lose—also blame de Jong. 🤣

Four (4) big games played, only one win. Who was missing.....Dejong, who was present, Pedri

Keep playing 😂😂😂

BykeLaByke:
Guyyyyy.

I understand am sha cause I've been there too with Ter Stegen.

If you see say player no good and the majority dey say en good you fit crazë.

I remember you that year with Stegen lol. Enzo won't solve your issues ooo lol. Why do you think we play James in midfield alongside Caicedo in big games and push him further up. But if you want his price, it's just 200m

jpmoriarti:
I won't credit him for that because Olmo had to do more work to score the goal. Lewandowski nearly lost the ball when he couldn't sort his sluggish feet out. Thankfully Olmo picked it up to score.

Well, you get point but I think he did well in that particular situation...good win sha 👍

jpmoriarti:
Mr Robert Lewandowski did everything possible to scupper our victory tonight.

Ballooned off the penalty out of Les Corts 😂😂 and couldn't control or pass a ball to save his life. Arrived late at every challenge. Lost all his duels with Atletico defenders.

Below average performance from the Polish striker.

He was crucial for Olmo's goal abi...otherwise meh performance.

Dejong the fraud

Next big game, we feast

BykeLaByke:
It's obvious for certain games he shouldn't be starting.

Any high intensity game, if Dejong is playing and no Pedri nah automatic L or D for Barca.

jpmoriarti:
There's no player, who's playing first division in the top 5 league in Europe, that's not a hardworking person. I know how hard people work here and it's just the top 1% who makes it at the very top level.

You clearly quoting me out of context lol. Every pro is a hard worker, keeping the work is what I'm talking about.

Pogba is more talented than Kante yet one is regarded higher than the other. That's what I'm talking about lol.

jpmoriarti:
Dejong play, problem. Dejong no play, problem. If he plays and we win, then it's because of Pedri. If we lose and he plays, it's because of him.

First big game without Dejong and Barca won. You think say nah coincidence abi 😂😂😂

Jam another serious team and play him, I'll be there to remind you for the umpteen time.

Dey play

BykeLaByke:
This guy, your work rate gan.

You should be happy Dejong didn't play today.

Gerard Martin is another prove that hard work beats talent if talent does not work hard. Top performance from him. I was impressed 👍

BykeLaByke:
E collapse like Jenga.

Barca needs another good midfielder.

Dejong nkor

Some of you watch the game with kids glove and doing fanboyism up and down.

Barca won their first big game Vs the most informa team in Laliga without Dejong and a half fit Pedri.

If Dejong played today Barca for still win as long as Pedri is also on the pitch. If Dejong played with any other midfielder today, it's an automatic L or at best draw for Barca.

I've said it countless times and I'll continue to echoe. Dejong is a luxury liability. Without Pedri to hold his hands he's just another Sergi Samper.

Pedri is by far the best midfielder in Spain and there's no good second. Watch what he was doing before the goal....chai...

Kilishihunter:
FDJ should watch pedri and look at himself, I know the opposition and level of circumstances is different but tico are in form, pedri is not fully fit, playing alongside the same Eric Garcia yet he's making life tough for them, after Newcastle I didn't see that level of performance again, he better pushes himself more for this club in big games

Dejong and Pedri are not mates in midfield work. His fans praised him till Barca play Europa league twice.

Half fit Pedri doing what a fully fit Dingdong can't dream. If Dejong was in this game, nah 3 goals Barca for don chop by now.
