Beautiful goal from Raphinha.

Kilishihunter:
That boy fast gan

He has just been substituted. Thank God

This Munoz na mad man oh. See what he did to Pedri and Balde

Victor Munoz's pace is a big threat to our midfielders and defenders.

Kilishihunter:
I think lewa should come in, it's this kind of low block games he excels in, maybe FDJ for Eric too though I know we'll become weaker in midfield but we need goals

Yeah, you have a point. Lewa usually finds a way to break tough defenses.

It was a decent first half.

In the second half, we definitely need to put more crosses into the box in order to break this tough 5 man defense.

We look really confident today. Osasuna's 5 defenders at the back have been a stumbling block though. Apart from that, our performance has been pretty decent.

Look at that beautiful "chipped-cross" from Rashford to Ferran. Could have been assist number 10 if not for the goal being cancelled. 😎

Bimmarlykay:
Meaningless.

Had a stroke reading the clumsy attempt.

Second fiddle thingy.

🤣🤣🤣 I know you're secretly and shamelessly taking notes because I just gave you lessons on how to write a short but incredibly engaging story, unlike that eyesore you wrote earlier. 🤮

Face the facts, boy. If there's one thing you've shown us all since this conversation began, it's that when faced with facts and logic, you run away and quickly hide behind your lies.

If only you could come up with one logical take; just one. Perhaps then, this conversation would be more exciting. Right now, it's quite boring because you can't keep up. 🥱

Bimmarlykay:
Hey kid,let me tell you a brief story, before i put you to sleep.Rashy was on loan to Barça, and his disciples thought he'd be the next best thing.
He ended up playing second fiddle to Raph and Ferran. Damn... La Liga must be so easy.

When you bring Rashy's starts rivaling what Raph did last season, I'll give you the reply you crave.

I'll tell you a better story:

Once upon a time, there lived a jealous, bitter, little boy who thought himself a small god. He loved predicting the downfall of others and was always the loudest in shouting what would go wrong.


Then one day, one of the people he constantly spoke against appeared in his community and started doing great things for everyone. The whole village was impressed, except the bitter, jealous, little boy and some of his bitter, jealous, little friends.


Seeing the praise the man was getting, the boy became enraged. He ran around attacking anyone who dared to be happy about the man's success.


But no matter how loud he shouted or how hard he tried to sabotage, nothing worked. Every scheme he plotted backfired. Every insult he threw made him look smaller, while the man's deeds continued to shine.


By the end, the bitter boy was left exhausted, humiliated, and powerless, still shouting into the wind, while everyone else celebrated the man he tried so hard to bring down.


Case closed. End of Story 😄

Bimmarlykay:
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bot what have thou done?

LMAO, is this your new facts avoidance tactic? Haven't you run out of cowardly moves yet? 🤣🤣

It's okay, I understand. Now run along to play "ten ten" with your mates. It's obvious that's where you belong. 🤣🤣

Bimmarlykay:
Coming from a fan that whenever we play,he will never highlight Rashford flops or mistakes, neither will he Praise Raph when the guy performs,but will be quick to post "Raph missed a clear chance","Raph played rubbish".

Listen man, I'm familiar with those gimmicks, unfortunately for you, Flick will Start Raph ahead of him,and if it happens we don't sign him,you can continue your PR and support in Manure.

Stan your player,no force am for our throat.

Even Ferran and Abduleez no move like this.

Lol, it's obvious that you have no intentions of being reasonable. I kept giving you room to show that you understand the discussion, but your replies are proving the opposite.


Instead of addressing the statistics I shared, you keep dodging and jumping to conclusions. It’s obvious you’d rather avoid the facts than engage with them properly. Oya clap for yourself; you've successfully demonstrated what it looks like when someone argues without logic. 🤦🏽‍♂️


And about Rashford, I'm not even hyping the guy and you're already complaining. All I've done is show basic statistics. What will now happen if I decide to start hyping him? It means you'll run away from this thread. 🤣


Like I said earlier, stop being childish and grow up!!!

Bimmarlykay:
Tbh... I don't even hate him,if i started at any point,its cus of Trevor and likes.

I have likened his movements to Coutinho's before and saw room for improvement,what i don't understand is why you keep making it seem like its only Rash that's working and having unfair judgement or he has done something no one else has,Ferran that scores for fun, we're still criticizing. For instance,what Raph did last season, Rashy has never achieved it in his life time,but we didn't see you talk about him.

Raph will always be above him in the hierachy,same as Yamal, he(Rashy) can double as a clutch or something for us.

It is your obvious hatred for Rashford that made you, on several occasions, accuse me of being a Man Utd fan, yet you claim you don't hate him. Why is his success paining you so much?


I simply stated the facts.

Is it not true that he has 6 goal contributions in 6 champions league games for Barcelona?

Is it not true that he has 6 goals and 9 assists i.e 15 goal contributions this season already? So why are you angry?

How does talking about his success put his teammates down in any way? Would you say that talking about his teammates' success is a detriment to him?


It's just like saying that praising Antony for doing well at Real Betis is an insult to his teammates. Does that make sense to you? Of course, not, so please do better. You obviously have a problem with hasty generalizations and false assumptions.


Rashford's story is a Grace-Grass-Grace story. Anyone with a good heart would be happy for him.

Bimmarlykay:
Against Chelsea where Raph was the only positive change, you didn't give him his flowers,last season we never saw you hype Raph,but just an assist yesterday and you're posting pics and advertising him like NTA and Farming,like Yamal never had an assist too.

You'll be quick to praise Rash and also quick to scold Raph.

When the time comes,you'll follow him to Man u and continue your PR work there.

Now this is hilarious 🤣. Are you even listening to yourself? You sound like a jealous, bitter wife.

Oh, so you're annoyed by the love Rashford is getting because you feel it's taking attention away from Raphinha. Really? How low can you get?


"Just an assist yesterday", you said? Rashford literally has 9 assists already this season, and that's probably the most of any Barca player this season.


For crying out loud, some of you seem to forget that this is an on-loan player whom we took a huge gamble on given his history and controversial reputation, yet here he is delivering good performances for the team, but you don't want people to praise him just because you feel he's dragging the spotlight with your favourite players. Shame on you. Big shame. Fake fans like you are part of what is destroying this great club. You're with the team only because of the players you like. You don't care about the team's growth.


Seriously though, who would have thought that Rashford would have such an impact in such a short time? I'm almost certain that's exactly what is paining you. You must have thought he would be a major flop yet here he is proving you wrong and the pain is obviously too much for you to bear. It's folks like you who pray for the downfall of others just so you could say "I told you so". What a pathetic way to live. Disgusting 🤮🤮🤮


Take heart, you hear. Rashford is not your enemy. If he performs well, the whole team benefits from it, so your focus should be on the team's progress and not dishing out selective criticisms just because you dislike Rashford. That's childish. Grow up!!!

Bimmarlykay:
I felt Yamal, didn't feel Rashford.
Aside his assist,he was just there.

Stop hyping him like those Manu fans.

Oh, you "felt" Yamal who lost possession countless times, one of which led to the goal we conceded, but you didn't "feel" Rashford who came on and changed the entire game in our favour, abi? Yet you claim I'm the one hyping a player and not you? Kindly find the nearest mirror and look into it; you'll see your hypocrisy staring at you in the face.


Stop undermining a player's performance just because you dont like him. That's what fake fans do. Real fans appreciate a player's efforts when he plays well, irrespective of what they think about him personally.

Exactly. As a man, your freedom and peace of mind should be your priority.

Bimmarlykay:
Am still observing ....

Aside that assist,Blud lost so many possession,hope you saw it?

Lamine Yamal lost possession countless times. Raphinha missed a glorious opportunity created for him by Rashford and also made multiple misplaced passes that led to us losing possession. Are you observing those ones too?

Rashford now has 6 goal contributions in 6 champions league matches this season.

1) 2 goals against Newcastle

2) 1 assist against PSG

3) 2 goals against Olympiacos

4) 1 assist against Frankfurt


Overall, he has a total of 15 goal contributions (6 goals and 9 assists) already this season, and we're just in December. At this rate, who knows how many he'll have by February or March?

The stones that the builders rejected ended up becoming the chief cornerstones tonight. 😎😄

Trevor012:
Rashford completely changed the game

He totally did. Immediately he came on, everything became better.

Have you seen the importance of Rashford's assists? What a beautiful cross to Kounde who scored a brilliant header.

Football is all about goals and assists. Without them, football dies.

See the chance Raphinha just missed after Rashford gave him a beautiful pass.

Fermin Lopez has been more or less non existent in that midfield. That guy is not an AM abeg. He's better off playing as a SS in a 4-4-2 system. Roony needs to come on and then Yamal should be moved to the AM position.


Yamal needs to take it easy with the take-ons. We conceded because he tried to take on about three players and then lost the ball.


Like I said the last time, Raphinha needs to make better passes during counter attacks. He made another misplaced pass which could have put Lewa one on one with the goalkeeper.

Kilishihunter:
That defence is still our biggest weakness, that's why I was arguing with airbere days ago, a match we've thought we won turned to an uneasy finale, cubarsi is showing more of his age this season and I don't know why kounde would stupidly lunge into that tackle for their penalty, the midfield reducing pressure immediately pedri was off played a part too I know but I liked bernal's cameo

Yeah, I feel Cubarsi should have done more to prevent that second goal. As for Kounde, I'm still going to blame it on fatigue. That guy needs to rest for at least 2 months to recover fully, both physically and mentally. Another point people are forgetting is that he's not a natural RB but a CB. His great performances last season made us forget that.


Bernal did well today; way better than he did in his previous match.

Great first half but terrible second half due to the boys relaxing as a result of the scoreline. I enjoyed myself sha; It was an exciting game. 😄
