Yesterday's match proved that lewa should have been subbed off instead of Yamal. We could have best PSG even with a man down had it been Yamal remained on the pitch.
He was our only driving force last night and could have been on Tuesday night. Xavi can't read games and that is his shortcomings.

You're spot on but some fans are not ready for this conversation. Earning more than KDB, Haaland etc. This guy is the highest earner in the whole of Europe and some part of Asia and South America.

Selling that guy FDJ is the best thing that will happen to the club no matter the amount. At least to get his fat cheque wage off the book. Having Fermin Lopez and any other academy pacy midfielder plus a good signing of proper DM would have salvaged better for us this season. What is his contribution to barca this season?
Mostly out and when available, no impact. See old man Gundo we got free stayed fit and did excellently for us. Ajax players have proven to be scammers. Antony, De Jong, De ligt all fake.

Xavi is amateur coach. Lewa should have been taking of. We needed someone who can push attack , dribble when we are at counter as PSG will come full throttle but as soon as the ball is squared to him, he will do magic with pace and dribbles then give a deadly pass like how our only goal came. Lewa was no threat, he was kept probably for aerial duel that he didn't win one. Couldn't place his shooting at the edge of the post but shoot directly to the hands of 💵ruma. Became selfish to give a pass to a better teammate. We're foolish to believe that Guardiola reject in Cancello and Torres will do any meaningful thing for us. One need to wonder why Bayern didn't sign that clumsy cancello that think he is Marcelo or Dani Alvez.

De Jong should have been sold when Man U came for him.

He isn't worth a dime and collects huge wages than any other player thus depleting our reserve.

That guy had not done anything spectacular since his signing. A total waste and worst signings like coutinho, dembele and greizmann. We may not notice his failures because we don't judge midfielders by goals but what of assists and attacking input?
That guy should go and learn football.

Xavi you got this substitution wrong. Lewa should have been subbed. Yamal would have overloaded that right wing thus making Barcola to support the defence.
Lewa can't even beat his marker nor move counter so why removing Yamal that will pose more threat.

You said it all.
Odegard is too rigid and has phobia operating from the centre nor the other flank. Always crowding or be hiding in the right with Saka.
I'm shocked that ARTETA didn't learn anything from his errors last season.
One, he shouldn't have signed Havertz
Either he signed a proper 9 that could have rivaled Jesus and sit him down or a proper attacking midfielder to compete with odegard.
Secondly, a top winger on the right to do so to Saka(he's nonchalant these days because of no threat).
3rdly, Had he signed a top striker, Jesus and Martinelli will drag the left flank bringing a serious competition which Trossard didn't put up much.
4th, give Trossard a quite number of start-ups on the left wing to test waters between Nelli and him.

5. Knowing Partey and injury crisis, should have kept xhaka for at least one more year even if it means doing away with Jorginho. That could have freed RICE a bit as the partnership of rice, xhaka and odegard would have been deadlier than what trossard and havertz have offered while playing similar role.

6. Odegard flatter to deceive, ignore his stats, they are just their for padding. Any game the wingers failed to operate, he looks like a worn out player. He can't dictate the flow of the game from the middle or left flank nor give killer and defence splitting passes regularly.

7. With Jesus, Arsenal isn't winning anything anytime anywhere. He's not a deadly striker. He's more Julain Alvarez.. Alvarez succeeds with Argentina because of the threat Messi and Di maria possess and bring. At City, Haaland and De bruyne like Messi takes the pressure off him and that creates room for him to shine mostly in big matches as seen last season. If you clearly watch most of the games without De bruyne nor Haaland, he also struggle to impact the games but running round the whole pitch to make touches to show his influence even as being the only striker up. Folden or Benardo also take pressure of the attack off him too.
Put Alvarez in Arsenal and see him exposed or in Argentina without Messi and watch.
There's a reason city struggled in champions league with Jesus as point man because he leaves the main work like Alvarez to roam the field.





The problem with the players we depend on to take us to where we desire to be is the Lack of all-round Development in their game.
These are the players we heavily depend on: Martinelli, Saka, Odegaard.
Whether they're exciting is not in doubt. Their development as all-round players is incomplete. That means we'll need quality players to help them develop. Arteta might be a coach and whatnot, but he doesn't understand these things. And that's why the players will give him hope today and leave him confused tomorrow.
If you have played this beautiful game and studied football very well, you'll discover that the TRUE TEST of a WINGER is the ability to take players on. If you can't do it every now and then, in my opinion, you're a waste of my time.
You must be able to do it 7 times out of 10. This makes defenders know you're ruthless.
Martinelli struggles to take players on. Saka too.
And even though it is true that Martinelli and Saka usually do take-ons, it's not enough because the confidence they have is not enough.
What does that tell you? That Development is not enough.
You want to be a Great player on the wing and you cannot beat players 7 times out of 10 on the by-line, where would that take you?
Of course, you'll qualify from the UCl, and you'll likely win the 2nd round of the UCL. But when the Quarters come, what happens?
You'll likely fall apart.
We've seen players do it - Mane, Salah, Bale, CR7, Mahrez, Chiesa, etc.
Even Robben and Ribery were doing it at Old-age.

It would have been easier if they were very special talents but they're not.
Even if you give it 3 extra years, we won't achieve much.
The reason is, Arteta is not ready to drop Saka, Martinelli and Odegaard. He's also not ready to rotate them.
In trying to help Saka, he brought Marquinos, who had zero experience. Shaybe people said he was exciting. Where is he today?
That tells you Arteta doesn't know what he's doing at all. And then there's Nelson. What can Nelson do for real? Come'on! Let's be real.

We don't have an influencer in midfield. Rice seems to be one, but he's a wannabe influencer. It's not part of his game even though he tries to do it.
Partey is an influencer, but he's absent.
Our chief influencer is supposed to be Odegaard. But he doesn't influence, does he?
That's why I tell fans to be careful about stats because it is not everything. Yes, he scored 15 goals a season. And so?
Let's be real. Does he influence games as much as you desire?
I don't need him to score goals. That's not his job but just a bonus.
I need him to be in that area and dictate the tempo and make everything revolve around him. I need him to be able to find players both aerially and on the ground, giving slide-through passes, and picking pockets every now and then.
I need him being in charge in such a way that his teammates understand that they can make intelligent runs when he's with the ball because they trust he can find them.
I've said it before. We can't go anywhere with Odegaard as our creative midfielder. You look at Florian Wirtz at Bayer Leverkusen and see what he's doing. Then you know Odegaard is far off from what we want.

My concern is that if Arteta believes so well that he'll make Odegaard, Saka and Martinelli his key starters and not bring anyone else of higher quality to challenge them. Eventually, fans will turn on him, and then the management will do same.[/quote]

The greatest mistake we did were activating lever to buy Raphidiot and Lewanghoski and letting Aubamayang go.
In a short span, Auba fitted into our plans than this Polish fraud we bought over 45million Euros.

We lost because of Xavi's lack of tactics and game reading.
Cancelo had no yellow card. So why removing him for useless raphidiot that can not beat his marker.
Even though Felix was tired but could have been more effective attacking forward than Yamal who is also useless playing at the left. Yamal brought no pressure on Carvijal and neither did he support his defence as carvajal had free time to cross from his wing.

A tactically sound coach would have bring in only one of raphidiot and yamal since both are one dimensional footballers, only effective at the right and no other place. Yamal could have been better replacing Felix, then Cancello moved to the left to play LWF. Cancello is so good in cutting from the left into the centre and shoot with power and accuracy. Remember he was mostly used by PEP as left full back.
He has no yellow card, why the substitution?

In all, the boys tried but missed chances before the 60th minute came hurting us.
Gavi is a rare gem, can defend and attack with his life. If not that he wedged the first shot with his head before the rebound fall to Jude in the first goal, Gavi would have man-marked as he did before the incident but dude was already doing the work of useless Romeu as shield to defenders and that freed Jude out of the box. Gavi would definitely blocked Jude if he wasn't with the defenders in our 18 yards.
Lamine Yamal is a liability in defending. He should grow up and put in strength.
I don't see him going far, if he continues being lacklustre and scared of making tackles to defend for his team.

Gundogan should be the last mid fielder to be selected when all are fit.
Pedri, FDJ, Rome or Gavi( depends on the team) and lastly Ilkay.

brandon180:
Ansu to Brighton, would like to see how De zerbi utilizes him.
Meanwhile, I no understand this Felix move.

He will still seat on the bench for Mitoma.
He can't even play Central, even if he tries, he can't bench Welbeck or whoever has been there.
His hope is on fatigue or injuries on their 11 or 9.
He should find a club that he walks into the first 11 instantly.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
thunder fire lewa

Lewa should be sold to Saudi next season.
Meanwhile, he should not start ahead of Ferran again.

Fati should be sold not even loan.
He is a bigger idiot than Raphidiot

Thank God Raphidiot got red carded and Dembulance sold, we couldn't have seen this reared gem Yamal.
Lewandowski needs to sit out games for Ferran or Ansu to showcase what they have.

This fluke tap in doesn't convince anything.

udatso:
Nice pass from lewi

Not him. The ball came from the defender.

This guy is washed.
He should be benched for Ferran or Fati since the coach loves four man mid field.
These two guys need chances too. Lewa is a fraud.
We could have been better of with Aubameyang we got free and at a lower salary than lewa we bought 40+ million from economic lever.

He should be benched, he is not above that since he is under performing.

Kilishihunter:
Lewandowski looks gone.

You knew late.
The guy is a fraud.
He's washed up since December.

Lewa is washed since after World Cup.
He needs to be substituted sometimes.
Not having a competitor makes him relaxed.
He's a wasted project. Forget winning golden boot last season, his game is haramic and he came when la liga strikers declined.
Back to back to back Europa unless a major signing before month ends.

Guys, goodluck to us on Thursday night football once more. We can only pray for a favourable draw.

Why Abde ahead of Fati.
Xavi is a bigger fool that I imagined.

What of goals and assist stats?


What nonsense G/A.
I have never rated that idiot even with his treacherous stat padding.
He is not barca worthy nor a modern winger.

Xavi is clueless. Why packing midfield against a block team.
Fati should have started ahead of either Pedri or Gundogan.
Raphidiot should move to Saudi and Lewandowski isn't worth it again.

Europa, here we come again, unless serious signings are done before Sept 1

Unless specialized additions, we ain't making it out of UCL group stage next season.
Raphinha should be sold, Lewa is old and will be older next season ucl knockout imagine how ineffective he is now and what he will be next season should we scale through group stage.
We're stuck up in Europa with these players.
Fati is gradually coming back to the old fati.
Raphinha can't dribble any player and may luckily score goals but won't erase the fact he should be booted out.
What a loss in Lewa and Raphinha!!!

Raphidiot, foolish Torres, big match lewanghosti.
All wastage signings since January 2022.

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.

Thanks

Give me link nah

Any link guys

Lewandoski never plays his best in big games.
Not worth the signing

Raphinha is such a waste.
Dembele would have eaten up this shirt called manure

Raphinha is bag of rubbish. Wasted millions. Dude can't even beat his maker to save his life.
Dembele will be missed against United dearly.

Raphinha should not near our attack again except Copa del Rey.

See sharpness in the last two games.
Because if him, Dembele is played in uncomfortable position on the left and when role is switched, he(Raphinha) seems completely lost.

Raphidiot never disappoints.
What a useless signing

Pedri can't even mark nor press
Never ever compare Fede to him
Raphinha is a useless winger
Can't cross ordinary corner, can't dribble past oponent.
Xavi is a fool.
Stop playing Dembele and Raphinha together.
Both are best in the right wing and Dembele it's better than Raphinha there.
Play fati.

Our midfield is in comatose.
