European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by ayoalani(m): 5:18am On Nov 23, 2018 |
I don't think barca would really buy pogba...he may have some advantages over our midfielders but he wouldn't fit into the system. Last season was good but it wasn't the beautiful barcelona game we played. That was evident in the 4-4-2 formation we featured. And that was because paulinho came. Even though he was essential for last season victories, he was still sold because we wanted to retain our system. Coutinho doesn't fit our midfield well so we moved him up front and in came arthur. If we need any reinforcements in midfield, it should be from la masia. Thanks to valverde for bringing alena into the first team. If we need more, we still have chumi, oriol and a host of others. 1 Like |

10Dove:In the same vein, ronaldo has outperformed messi in the ucl and messi is still considerably ahead of him as the best footballer. |

Unlimited22:Yeeh, i yaff die. you will do me a favor. You will go and check the number of passes pogba has made this season and his passing accuracy compared to that of rakitic. Once you've found that, coman give me feedback. |

IKON360:Baba! Take it easy na. This your love for neymar na one kind o. You are now saying that every fan will be wary of his threat. If we meet psg, i bet u we would beat them hands down. Shay he no day there when liverpool beat them for parc des princes. You are just saying deadliest since morning. Which of the liverpool defenders did he kill with his threat. Radarada |

IKON360:Who is talking of pace here? I'm saying pique is no more superb defender that we used to know, he has declined big time. and yeah...de ligt is kinda better than mina |

Baba IKON360, nobody is saying dembele's problem is coach-caused. He has personal problems and the club would help him in solving them. He needs help in setting his priorities right. Neymar coming does not affect dembele. It might affect him a little. The person that would be affected greatly is coutinho. Though, when we bought him, it was as iniesta's replacement but now, he has established the right wing as his favorite. He is most efficient at that position. That was evident especially in the match against inter(second leg). He was phenomenal, eventually laying the assist for malcom later in the match. Since coutinho is now a winger for us, arthur takes his place in midfield. And he has been great too. His average passing accuracy this season for barca is over 90%. It's a bright future for barca so, one neymar cannur coman spoil everything for us. |

10Dove:Benzema or Suarez. Who is better? This shouldn't be an argument. We can't ucl games to determine cos they play against different random things and the matches are a lot of weeks apart. Laliga is what we will use. Even as suarez is not his best, he is better than benzema by far. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by ayoalani(m): 2:18pm On Nov 22, 2018 |
IKON360:So u're trying to say that the 5-1 loss was because of neymar's absence. Abeg find another excuse. When psg beat us 4-0 or when juve beat us 3-0, he no day there? |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by ayoalani(m): 2:14pm On Nov 22, 2018 |
10Dove:The problem we had with digne was inexperience but apart from that, i know nothing else. It's gonna be quite difficult to find someone of alba's quality. He is one of the best LBs. His killer runs are superb, not to talk of his now rampant cut-backs to messi. Not only messi, look at the cut back he made for coutinho in the clasico. Masterclass. This alba is the best we've seen for a long time, that's one of the reasons i don't want neymar back in the squad. It will chase alba back into his cage. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by ayoalani(m): 2:06pm On Nov 22, 2018 |
IKON360:What did you jux say? Pogba? Better passer than all of our midfielders? I expected better than this from you. Pogba of all people! I would never attest to him being a barca player. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by ayoalani(m): 7:08am On Nov 22, 2018 |
We don't anymore wingers for now. What we need in the attack is only a replacement for suarez. I wish munir can just up his game a 100 times and be the desired heir to suarez cos he is from la masia. But let's just what this winter transfer window would bring. What we should roaring for is a back up for alba...that should be our main priority. The other thing we need is another CB(probably de ligt) since vermalaen would probably leave in the summer and pique is not at his best. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by ayoalani(m): 6:52am On Nov 22, 2018 |
If you think neymar would come to barcelona and the attack would be as deadly as the previous MSN then you are not facing reality. Neymar is not what barca needs now. If you say dembele should be sold, what happens to coutinho? Coutinho plays the left wing and if neymar comes, he would have to go to the midfield. If that happens, then what is arthur's fate? What of alena? Barcelona is more than a club for a reason. You can't just go and waltz back in anytime you like. Nobody is opening any arm for neymar in barcelona. Nobody fears anybody anymore, teams have become cleverer now. That's why laliga is how it is today. You say he is the 3rd best player presently? Even if a poll is made here in this forum, he wouldn't make top 5 1 Like |

IKON360:Barcelona had agreed not to sign any player from liverpool until 2021. The clause was included in coutinho's deal. So, there isn't any firmino option for us this time |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by ayoalani(m): 7:01pm On Nov 21, 2018 |
Excallibur:XD, If this claim happens to be true then, nobody should ever argue with me that ronaldo is better than messi |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by ayoalani(m): 3:48pm On Nov 21, 2018 |
Neymar in our team doesn't mean we will win the ucl, we could go on without the ucl trophy for five years with him in our team. If you say messi's last ballon d'or was when neymar was it us, i would say messi had won 3 ballon d'ors without neymar has a team mate. The barca of now if fully utilized, is better than the barca of the 2014/15 season that won the ucl. PSG meeting the buyout clause wasn't the problem but he not making his intentions clear. Neymar coming to barca wasn't unexpected to palmeiras cos he told them he was leaving. If there were any back hand deals, they were through his agent(his father). You said we hijacked malcom and vidal. I am very sure that the players didn't oppose coming to barca and the club surely received the money from the transfers. If there was any injustice done, it was by the players. As long as valverde doesn't make last season's mistakes again, we are finishing this league with a sextuple. And if u don't know, there is no way bartomeu would allow neymar in barca again. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by ayoalani(m): 3:19pm On Nov 21, 2018 |
IKON360:if individual brilliance actually determines the success of the team, then we would be winning sextuples every season. Messi has been phenomenal, won 4 ucls with us including 2 trebles & a sextuple and yet we won't all possible trophies |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by ayoalani(m): 9:49am On Nov 21, 2018 |
IKON360:We have also moved on with the transfers we've made: coutinho, dembele and malcom. What do we do with these players if he comes. The load on messi for inspiration has reduced; that was evident when he was injured. Coutinho is doing a great job at the right wing. Let's forget about neymar. He can go to madrid if that's what he wants |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by ayoalani(m): 9:34am On Nov 21, 2018 |
IKON360:i will tell u how we moved on. He was with us last 2 seasons when we won neither laliga nor ucl. He left suddenly after that without making clear his intentions b4 then; that is isn't ideal of a culturally fit barca player. The season after that(last season), we won the spanish double and we were great in the ucl except the our costly mistake against roma that eliminated us. We were better than than the last season he was with us. |

And if you have noticed...the most significant thing about barca of last season was alba and paulinho and for this season; arthur, alba, coutinho and supposedly dembele but dembele has been a Bleep up. The arrival of neymar would again force alba back into his cage and i don't want that. If neymar is so upset about being overshadowed by 19 year old mbappe, he should go to wolfsburg or lille. 1 Like |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by ayoalani(m): 5:53pm On Nov 20, 2018 |
And neymar...he is not what we need in barca. The ego he has is so annoying. He is such a cultural misfit for barca but he is slightly better than dembele. We have moved on without him, we don't need to go back. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by ayoalani(m): 5:49pm On Nov 20, 2018 |
For the ballon d'or...i think it is modric, griezmann or mbappe or it gets jinxed. |

And about messi's goal against naija...it's a pity people say messi is nothing without his left foot. That goal was masterclass and he scored it with his right foot, so was the first goal against chelsea in the second leg of the round of 16 in UCL last season 1 Like |

9itewolf:That pact still surprises me...how will you agree that a player would play every match? I'm even more surprised that he has only missed 3 matches since he joined us in June 2014. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by ayoalani(m): 8:54pm On Nov 18, 2018 |
What we should be looking forward to now is our match against atletico after the international break. In a way, it's gonna decide our position in the league. The thing is we are certainly going to do away with atletico if we come out in our best form. A balance should be established between the attack and defence. On our last encounter, messi's free kick won us the match and the defense did a good work preventing goals from coming in. Our victory in that match kind of won us the league too. i pray umtiti and dembele play this one and i hope EV and the entire team would make us proud again |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by ayoalani(m): 10:42pm On Nov 17, 2018 |
And even if messi won us the league, the defense did a good job keeping goals out. If messi produces his magic and still, goals still come in, we don't gain anything. For example, the real betis match. He scored two goals and yet we still lost. And the fact is that that's the first time messi would score 2 goals for barcelona and still lose. |

Olamyyde:When was the last time messi didn't win us the league? He always does that. The match we lost against levante without messi was caused by the gross mismanagement of valverde, so was the defeat against roma. Lack of rotation was his worst mistake and the thing that annoys me now is that he is repeating the same mistake this season with rakitic, roberto and pique. They really need rest. And that's why rakitic and coutinho's injury is some sort of good news. They really deserve that rest. |

He has actually tried to change those tactics but it hasn't given us expected results. After 12 games, we have conceded more than half of the goals that were conceded last season. I don't totally blame him for his over reliance on certain players. He just didn't have enough options. Both gomes and denis weren't up to the task and turan wasn't much better. Much of the same case with deulofeu and digne. Dembele and Coutinho came and things were bound to become better but the former experienced a long term injury and the latter was still adapting to the team play. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by ayoalani(m): 5:35pm On Nov 17, 2018 |
Isomerizm:You're right but not in totality. He didn't the destroy the team's structure but the team lost some of its major components. Neymar left, and Iniesta too and then Paulinho came. There was no way he was going to make paulinho part of the team without changing the structure. And mind you, those defensive tactics weren't cowardly, they, in fact, won us the league. It was clear; reduce the number of goals we concede, the better our chances of winning and it obviously paid off 1 Like |

9itewolf:lol...Obviously, setien is still happy with his job and vidal is very well matured than that. i actually believe in whatsoever decision valverde makes. He is a good coach even with all the criticism he gets. He has coached 50 games in laliga with barca: 35 wins, 12 draws and 3 losses. And he has won 3 cups: a spanish double; la liga and copa del rey and a supercup in his first season at barca. No midtable coach does that, he just has badluck with fans but i really want to see alena, dembele and malcom play more games 1 Like |

Olamyyde:Yeah, i pray he does and don't be surprised, valverde may decide to push roberto up front and put semedo as right back. |
