You want the coach to play the hardest tackling midfielder and one of the best box to box midfielders as an attacker? Which kyn football you dey watch so?

My guy, the tactic is called "Use what you have to get what you want". Maybe you don't know yet but there is no backups to our front line at the moment. Apart from Ansu, Grizzy, Messi and injury prone Dembele, there is no other striker.

And with the remaining part of the season overloaded with fixtures, what happens if 2 of the 4 above becomes injured or out of form.

Moreover, if you look at the present team the only other player other than Messi, with motivation, zeal and hunger for goals is Vidal. Reason I said try him. after all we've seen a striker deputising as a goalkeeper in cases of red card and perform excellently.

FirstbornWds:
From the look of things, Arturo Vidal might likely start playing as a forward soon ( A position I think he'd do well in). That said, FDJ, Sergi, Arthur and Rakitic will have to regulate the midfield position.

Notwithstanding, I still think our board made a huge mistake by not signing a striker and allowing Perez to join Roma

.

I'm with you on the Vidal thingy, he's sharp, aggressive and very hungry for goals. I think the coach should try him out in the striking position in some games. We can also bring a striker from Barcelona B.

Without deceiving ourselves, we are headed for a very rough and trying time in the season.

haymekus:
Nothing serious about it just a muscle fatigue so he had to quit training since he hasn’t trained since November

I'm very afraid and anxious of any Messi injury anytime from now. It will be disastrous.

biomustry:
[SkySportsNews] | Barcelona are preparing a last-minute £20m bid for Chelsea winger Willian.

Exactly my point. Is Willian a striker? Or is it Messi dey are trying to replace at the wings?

Ronaldo
Are you saying fraud Messi can't save Barcelona, that you seriously need the GOAT Ronaldo

Sorry, I was talking to cules, and they can comprehend what I meant by my remark.
Thanks for porknosing anyways.

Adiwana:
That Bart guy is a clown.Took a Copa del rey semi final loss to sack Valverde after what happened for the past 2 years.Now wants to sign Richarlison for 100million?? This goes to show that him and other clowns at the helm of affairs have no l of what direction we are to move after l has ll if replacing Suarez is a problem.

That man has to go

Should have gone before Varverde sef? Senseless board chairman that sold Alcacer and Munir to replace them with Boateng.

Joked around on signing Jovic till Madrid got him, now looking haphazardly for a top striker with 3 days to go. Why not approach City for Aguero or Juve for Ronaldo too while at it?

Astark:
I swear Barcelona is the most hated club online, damn it.

List of teams fans that hate barca

Madrid
Manchester united
Chelsea
Liverpool

Juventus

Should Man. U fans have mouth to talk? With the beating from Burnley tonight? Well they can hate us because Burnley starts with "B" like Barca.

Personally, I have always been a proponent of regional government as opposed to this merging of strange bed fellows we call federalism.

We all know the reasons and aims of this initiative called Amotekun, it is a very laudable idea but we are yet to know to what extent it operations will be. Neither do we know how it will be coordinated. There are many questions that needs answering and many modalities to put in place.

For those of us that were around when the first OPC was started, you will remember it was more of a militia than a protector until sanity started coming into their operations, now its more a shadow of itself because of some overzealousness of its members which made people loose faith in them.

Coming back to this Regional Amotekun network, I'm yet to see anybody quote from the constitution (though flawed, yet still our law), an part to support or against this initiative.

My opinions and questions are as follows:

We operate a federal system of government not.regional (at least that's what my Government teacher taught us in school back then). So we shouldn't be expecting the government to see a regional setup as lawful or legal.

If the above is correct, therefore we need to take the Amotekun initiative back to be a state setup in order for it to go in tandem with the existing laws. Each state can name its own whatever it wants but In our hearts we know its a Southwest defense mechanism and we are free to have meeting based on that.

My questions are:

1. Let's say the Amotekun works out now because all the south west governors ascribe to it, what happens to the outfit if after another election, a governor say I'm no more interested or if there is a fall out between two states sharing borders, how would that be handled?

2. How would the Amotekun members and their operations be curtailed if they turn on the people of the southwest they were supposed to protect? if they turn mafia? taking laws into their hands?

3. How will they be funded, equipped and paid? Will all these also come from the federal allocations? or Will we the citizens be over taxed again to accommodate that outfit? Remember #30,000 minimum wage saga.

I love this idea. but let us know more about this venture before we put out a project that wouldn't last the test of time.

Note:: This is my personal opinion, you have a right to yours

What's your personal take on the debate on the regional defense mechanism proposed by the Southwest governors called Amotekun.

Do you support it? Why?

Are you against it? Why?

I fear for the future of this country o. Why are we the youths so hasty to jump on a band wagon without double checking.

Goal

Ibiza 1 - 0 Barca @37mins

It was a joy to see tiki taka again from Barcelona, I've really missed seeing us dominate and play a style that we enjoy every bit of the game. Forget the scoreline, we will get better with each game.

Same way, it is also a joy seeing our pioneering fellow cules coming back to the thread after long absences in ghost mode, WALAHI, the thread has not been the same without you guys. Welcome back.

Mes que in club.
Barca for life !!!

My own ordeal got me 3 weeks in Awaiting trial section in Ikoyi Maximum Prison before being bailed.

I just lost close to a million in a business, was devastated and suicidal. In other to keep me busy my pastor attached me to an elder of the church who just started a Community bank as a cashier.

The elder was just spending all deposits for his personal stuffs, after 6 months of no salary and with all others staffs gone for non payment, I also gave my resignation letter to the Manager and left, having no knowledge that the manager also resigned after I left.

Two weeks later, The elder showed up at my door with police, accusing me and the manager of stealing all the money.

The case went to court and we got remanded, bailed and a year later we were freed when I showed where I documented his spendings in the copy of the banks ledger.

He didn't show up at court again since then when he was asked to bring the original ledger to court. He packed away from his residence and didn't show up again till case was dismissed a year later.

YES!!! I will. 100 times over. She's the best for me. Completes me, compliments me, understand me and above all accepted me for who I am. She's my best friend.

Ikennablue:
I really hope Setien will be an upgrade. We can't afford to jump from frying pan to fire

I sure hope so too. I don't know much about him before now but for the board to opt for him, they should have a good reason.

I actually wanted an unpredictable, daring and eccentric coach in the likes of Simeone, klopp, ten hag etc. let's see how this goes. Hoping for the best.

Call the Hausa man in your neighbours presence, making sure she hears all the negotiations, ask the Hausa man to bring the rice the next day for you to buy. When he has gone, tell your neighbour you want to buy from her instead of the aboki but at the price the aboki sells, if she refuses, tell her you can't buy at the costly price, that you intentionally discharged the aboki for her sake.

Expectedly as a Nigerian, she will be angry and give you go ahead to buy from the Hausa man. I bet you by morning of the next day, she would change her mind and sell to you at a good price.

uckyra:
you don't know how people here think.infact the Hausa people sell better n cheaper but I can't buy from them because my neighbor will feel bad

KingAzubuike:
Some of these kids can be very stubborn and make you do the unthinkable out of rage.

RiP to the kid and as for the maid, she needs a psychiatrist and a psychologist not a death /jail sentence.

What did you just say? If you haven't given birth before, I will overlook your ignorance, but I pray you never experience what mother of the kid will be going through now o. No talk like this if this kine thing happens around you o.

chukel:
Anybody who read the story would know the girl is a big liar. The story doesnt add up. The guy soaked her clothes in water and snapped her nude and even recorded a video. Lies. Did he force the clothes off her body? She just came to his house, quietly watched him remove her clothes including pant if she wore any, then soaked them. Note she visited him. She also claimed she gave him 18k to buy a phone for her. Why would anyone give a cobbler money to buy phone. Is he a phone seller? How will a graduate give a cobbler money to buy phone for her. This is love affair gone wrong and she decided to frame him up. everything was consensual

My suspicion is that the lady and the cobbler were really dating. Knowing our girls of today, the cobbler would have been investing money on her and her education. now she's a corper she wants to dump him. If truly she gave him 18k, it would be for him to add a larger chunk and buy Samsung or iPhone.

Let the investigation be made without any emotions. Ladies are found of using rape allegations nowadays to punish men they intend to dump.

Moreover, if her clothes were soaked in water, which cloth did she wear to the station? or she went naked?

samson07:
am buying doussie, are you ready to start the business?

Doussie? I don't know that wood, but I'm not ready to start yet anyways.

ddippset:
So what's the new formation without Suarez?

Dembele Griezman Messi?


When is Dembele returning sef??

I would prefer Ansu Griezman Messi

or

Griezman Messi Perez

however on a joking note a

Griezman Vidal Messi

wouldn't be bad.

Astark:
Barca should either use good la masia players or look in Seria a and other unknown teams just like Liverapool's doing

I agree with you on this, but without a good coach to develop their strengths and plug their weaknesses; they will go the same way with the todibos et al. This current coach lacks that capacity.

He just sticks to the basic training learnt at coaching schools, put players on the field in their positions and say "play your part and give the ball to Messi".

Even when the game is going against his team, he crouches on the touchline without giving out instructions.

All the players like him because he is lazy and at ease with them and that makes them lazy too and unmotivated, he doesn't hassle them, he doesn't challenge them to improve.

samson07:
Buying wood from the locals and selling to these Chinese guys gave me millions. You can always make half a million after every deal. but its a stressful business but it pays. this same business turned me to a traveller, I tour the whole Nigeria, lost me gf due to distance. could teach anybody that would like to learn, I need a partner in the business too I need to expand

Which brands of wood are you buying and selling presently and where do get chinese buyers.

Astark:
As for defence, alba, pique and umtiri needs to be benched regularly. Lol

We needs better defenders and not old cargos

And in today's market, suggest available upgrades in their positions. Thanks

TalabiAudu:
Liverpool go too kill Barca if them meet...

It's better Barca just get themselves bundled out by Napoli.
So there would be NO chance at all of meeting Liverpool

Abi 'Up Barkas' sheybi I reason am right?

As for me, I would welcome any bundling by any of them if that would lead to E.V. getting sacked.

Why are Republicans always hungry for war? Democratics are more reserved and diplomatic.

ddippset:
I wanted to respond to him but I just chilled.

He needs to observe what happens when Barca wins the ball and launches an attack or a counter. He needs to observe what Messi does.

I have seen Messi launch a pass to the side from around the centre circle and he's in the box to receive the cut back within 3 seconds.

He does that all the time. He sends the pass and in a twinkle of an eye he's in the box to receive the cut back, like a sorcerer.

Any coach who decides to put a player like Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe and Lewandowski on any sort of defensive duties is a mad man.

And whenever Messi gets dispossessed he's ready to chase you down back to your Mama womb.

Ikennablue has no idea what he's talking about.

Nice one! I agree with you 100%. However, I would want you to use the same vigour to defend Suarez's performance with or without the ball.

Especially, why he's always backing the opponents goal whenever his teammates are running towards him with the ball, and falls down so quickly when challenged?

I'm waiting o

Wishing a Merry Xmas to all my cules brothers & sisters and trolls on the thread today. May we live to see many more Xmas. Amen.

ProWalker:
Well that is debatable.
I think the Egbados didn’t see him as good enough to represent their slot.

What did he do to benefit the Egbados and Yewa people while in the HOR? What antecedent does he have?

I'm waiting for anybody to show proof of projects he sponsored or executed for the people he represents.
That's why the people of that area have divided opinions about him. He was just trying to use the marginalization of the Yewa and Egbado as a platform for his personal ambition.

or like Suarez.
