If messi is returning next season, and dembele is also going to be with us next season, He should better start learning how to finish. Because all those beautiful balls mbappe Dey enjoy, na him go Dey enjoy am.
Kilishihunter: Carrasco is probably going to be signed because we're chasing one Argentine whizkid named Gianluca prestianni, The boy is highly rated in his country and is being chased by several clubs most recently Chelsea with their greed but he's appeared to have chosen us, Abde still dey though there's a big possiblity he'll be sold if a good offer comes to aid our financial fair play problems, Pedrola and angel Alarcon also dey from la masia in case but I think this carrasco deal is aimed towards prestianni's signing pending when he's gradually eased with his development into the first team, By that time carrasco will be in his 30s
Pedrola and alarcon ke? Remember when it comes to using young players, our coach has trust issues.
OhBritannia: Both xavi and gavi and all of them should leave the club.
I just dey vess like This.
Why didn't xavi replaced gavi at the end of the first half and put Pablo. Replace Jodi alba and that Brazilian statue and put ferran and Antu at the beginning of the second half and allow Balde goes back to his real position?
We drew this game because xavi is tactical and technically deficient.
With xavi, we will never be ready for the UEFA champions league.
Kilishihunter: And I hope if we sign amrabat he won't come and be chopping bench for busquets especially in the champions league, Watching these two main ties this week must have opened many cules eyes to how weak and low on intensity we are in several areas especially the midfield, Now that vardrid has exposed our 4-4-2 formation that was designed to protect him and shunt gavi to the wings, I hope we'll revert back to our normal 4-3-3 next season with a more dynamic CDM
Lol even if we sign amrabat, watch xavi bench him for busquets on a CL night, xavi wey head Dey touch sometimes. 😂
FirstbornWds: Watching this game tonight gave me a clear mi set that we really don't have what it takes to play in Europe's top flight.
If we played a team with so much intensity as what I saw tonight, we'd lose nothing less than 4-0
Because our players are chickens na, any small pressure we don crumble. You didn’t see what Roberto said after that match against Real Madrid? “The first goal demoralized us” something wey be 1-1 for aggregate, you say you Dey demoralized, that talk pissed me off. We do have a long way to go.
BlaqFaze: remove Vinicius from Madrid and they'll still ball because the team has a solid core... they're a team whereby anybody can be the star man because the team has a solid foundation.
Xavi is just there doing cross and nod using Balde to overlap all the time hoping Lewandowski gets on the end of the crosses.
Lewandowski lost after the world cup...go and check how many goals we've scored after world cup
The wingers can't do shit because Xavi told them to always go wide so thar they can cross
lol which team winger no Dey stay wide?boss no Dey talk like this, you are letting emotions cloud your reasoning. Abi you no Dey play ball? The reason players like salah are always near the 18, is because TAA likes bombing forward, same thing with Messi, he was always near the 18 because alves loved going forward, these two players I mentioned have proper full backs as support for proper link up. In our team, na only dembele fit dribble, unfortunately no proper rb, so the whole attacking work is left for dembele so he has to stay wide. The other wing, we have two good LBs but no winger, if balde goes forward to try and attack and make something happen(especially when Fati starts having his PTSD episodes on the field) that side is empty. And we all saw how that affected us against Real Madrid in the copa del rey. Yes Xavi is still learning, though him Dey overthink sometimesbut he is doing a good job, but me I no go drag am till he fumbles in CL next season.
When teams face low block teams and find it hard to break through, they resort to cross and nod tactics. Man city Dey do cross and nod, Real Madrid na baba, Liverpool too, many teams do this when they find it hard to break low block defence. E reach xavi turn, una say xavi na fraud. Our attack is not working, raphinha can’t dribble to save his life ,lewandowski don turn lewanghostki and fati is still rediscovering himself while battling with PTSD, zero creativity in the midfield and attack due to injury but xavi is the problem. When we beat Madrid in the classico, everybody Dey praise Xavi, now na ‘xavi is not the right man’. LOL.
A reminder that the only pure winger we have in this squad is injury prone dembele, as it seems Fati is still suffering from PTSD. I hope xavi has a solution for this problem.
We were lucky with that Asensio goal, because it would have been a very unfair result if it wasn’t ruled out as offside. But then that was poor defending, and in champions league even if you dominate for the whole game, Little slip ups like that can get you eliminated, if you aren’t lucky. There is still room for improvement though. Funny enough some people were shouting #Xaviout some weeks ago, allow the man to cook.
Ahh bros, dembele’s problem was just the injuries, and inconsistencies. In fact a half fit dembele would have had a better game than Ansu today. Have you observed the way he plays? With fear and zero confidence. It’s obvious he has now become a shadow of himself.
Chasicolis: Kounde is always non chalant and disjointed in his passes. That guy isn't worth the hype. He is the worst in our backlines and has refused to improve.
De jong just Dey ball low key, I read somewhere that Newcastle might be interested in raphinha, abeg make dem come carry am this summer. As for Fati, make I no talk. A defensive masterclass, xavi do this one.
udatso: Sadly, we may drop points before they come back. You have seen how terrible our attack has been without dembele.
Raphidiot is toothless....just activity with no product. Fati who has been struggling is out and I am not even sure I want that boy in that team for now. When he recovers, he should go and build his confidence elsewhere and then come back. Lewa that's terribly out of form is out too. Ferran Torres perhaps might do well but he can't score. How do you win Madrid without a striker?
Pedri who rescued us in several laliga games shortly before his injury is out. We just have a defense. That's assuming Xavi doesn't decide to be unfortunate and start with alba, Alonslow or Garlic....
In midfield, just dejong is actually the one we can fully rely on. Gavi though good but might just come back from suspension and take another red card.
I swear to God I am still in pains because of our last game. We should be able to beat Almeria ABI na Amala with Barca B team but as always, we bottled our chance to top Madrid with 10 points.
Raphinha na to Dey run to and fro like chicken, we just need another quality winger, that is pacy and also a good finisher. Then with another quality 9 as back up to lewa, with dembouz on the other flank our attack is alright. The thing is this four midfielders of a thing doesn’t suit lewa, xavi better resort back to our normal formation. Or whether we for turn balde to winger sef.
Trevor012: Tell us with your full chest that Benzema was not the best player of last season and the previous year. What Fifa cannot do doesn't exist 😂😂
Kilishihunter: We'll probably win the league so xavi being sacked isn't a major possibility, He paid 5m out of his own cash to help us draft his appointment, Maybe another embarrassment in Europe next season or a la Liga bottling which I doubt will be the deal breaker That being said some players have to leave to fund our summer transfers, Lenglet might go but I'm very sure it would be for a cut price deal, One or two of fati, ferran, Raphinha might have to move too to fund a deal for a quick, dynamic left winger, Though I don't want to entertain the thought of it again but if united or anybody come with a mind-blowing offer for FDJ Laporta might be tempted to cash in on him, hopefully it won't happen, Kessie too would probably move I'm almost sure of that since he's getting interest from inter and the likes We need to get a world class LW, backup striker, CDM, RB, An LCB on a free (We'll probably get one of inigo Martinez or evan ndicka) but how many of these can be pushed through with funds availability or Tebas always thinking of new strategies to frustrate us?
Where we wan see world class winger buy? That’s another problem. The last word class winger we signed was Neymar, to me dembele hasn’t proved himself yet, but at least he tries to make a difference. Fati showed potential but personally I think he isn’t being managed well. Raphinha and ferran no follow, one of them has to be sold this summer so we can get a good winger. By the way, I don’t know if it’s just me but I’ve noticed that in almost all our games we usually play badly in the second half, the intensity drops. I don’t know if it’s because to tiredness due to our style of pressing abi xavi no dey sabi Wetin to talk at half time.
abduleez1: True, you can say individual players had more hand in our loss but Xavi can't be excused for the nonsense he played at Camp Nou. European games are played and judged in two games and you can't take away his premium goofiness in the first leg at home when you had more control and fans backing to change atmosphere into your favour. But weyrey decided to do it the hard way. That's why fans would continue to blame him for this loss.
Fati and Raphinha fit play rubbish, fine. You could see I didn't complain much and was fine with Roberto starting before the match began. But with the way the match progressed, it was very clear Xavi lacks anything called technicality or tacticality. Everytime Balde bombed forward, you could see how Man Utds defence was really shaky. He could have exploited this with a proper winger in that position. If Balde was enjoying in that position, why won't Fati or Torres do the same if they can just do the basics. The main reason Ten Haag removed that Wan Bissaka. Na there you know coach wey Sabi read match.
Balde is probably the only player and De Jong I could say can raise their heads up after this annoying game.
Anyways, it's clear with things seen in this match that we need a proper RB next season and Kounde isn't cut for it.... He'd struggle over time as that ain't his favoured position and might be outclassed by faster and wittier wingers. As for Lewandoski, it's clear he needs a replacement or someone to take off his burden ASAP! A left winger is badly needed and to some extent CDM. So I'm glad we're going for Marcus Thuram and Amrabat.
Balde isn’t scared of going forward, his Speed playing a major part, Ansu still has PTSD and can’t complete a 1v 1 without slipping or loosing the ball, ferran wouldn’t have done anything in the match don’t let his display against Cadiz fool you. Another thing ETH had squad depth, him subs sef na players wey fit make things happen, his wingers aren’t scared to take players on. Note: I’m not supporting xavi as I still blame him as he messed up with that rubbish line up in the first leg.
BlaqFaze: Ansu with his head cut off from his body is better than Roberto...
There was a chance in the first half where De Gea committed a blunder...Roberto couldn't square a simple pass...2-0 up in the first half and this would have been a different story.
It's the little things that counts
I agree with you, but for now Ansu na sub material, him never serious. This is Europe, if you don’t take your chances it can come back to hunt you, in the champions league we didn’t take our chances, and our opponent took theirs, and we were punished. The problem with this four midfielders system of xavi is that attack wise without a direct and creative winger(dembele), it is not effective. I sha know say next season champions league will be Xavi’s last chance if he fails to deliver, only then will Laporta start looking for a replacement.
abduleez1: It's match like this where you see Xavi for what and who he is. Clueless. You could literally see it in his face anytime trouble happens in the field. You coulysee him shaking when Araujo had some discomfort.
This man should start learning to play even when your best players are out against top team.
Roberto was totally anonymous in the match and still left him past 70mins before he made a change. United had too much rest in defence and too much time to cos trouble at our defence. We know the midfield is suspect and weakened with the loss of Gavi and Pedri. But why still stick with Roberto. Person wey don they wey him play midfield and you had bothe Torres and Fati on the bench.
This man won't take us anywhere in Europe. People that take Europa League with levity, I dey wait Una next season when this man start to dey perform the same rubbish against teams wey we suppose dey clean up. If you can't prepare and use Europa to train your team how it works, na champions League wey dem give you elite teams you wan go perform miracles against.
And this is why I was very angry with Xavi for that first leg goof.
Which winger on our bench would have been capable of causing trouble to Man Utd defence? Ansu is still having PTSD, raphinha Dey run around like chicken, ferran Na still lord of movement. The only winger we have in our squad is dembele who is now injured.( that one sef for dissappear for today match, we all know how he can be) This summer we should be making plans to get one more quality winger and a back up striker, plus a Dm and Rb. We played a good game abeg, poor individual performance just let us down, make una leave Xavi.
Adiwana: Xavi has no business coaching us. He doesn’t just have the experience and players individually under him have no improvements.
Good thing we have left those trenches we were in last year with huge credits to him. But it’s time for another coach to continue with that upward trajectory we’re now. Laporta can’t bank on La Liga where it’s literally us and Madrid. We’ve the squad to compete and there are managers out there right now that are unemployed. We should bin him after this season
Xavi no do anything jare, his line up was good, no be xavi go enter field come play ball. Our attack was totally toothless. Lewandowski and raphinha were rubbish, I only blame xavi for that rubbish lineup he came up with in the first leg. Time to focus on the league.
Sergi Roberto should be subbed off, for either Ansu or ferran. We gats sharpen that attack because united will come all out second half. Lewandowski has been poor, na that raphinha run wey him ignore pain me pass.
