Your eyes don clear.

Some of you here told us in the past that Barca would be nothing without Busquets and that it was him and not Messi that made the team a dominant force. Busquets ko, Biscuit ni.

Oga, Park well. Busquets has served us well for over a decade. Dude has outperformed your Essien, Matic and Mike.

jpmoriarti:
And replace them with who?

Alba remains our best attacking outlet this season. He may not have played well tonight but I won't remove him yet.

Busquets plays well for Spain. Im sure Xavi won't show him the exit door.

Is it in defense? Araujo is always injured. Still injured. He lacks consistency. Umtiti and Lenglet is so lacking in confidence these days. Eric Garcia seems the only confident player we have at the back.

So because Umtiti and Lenglet lack confidence, they should rot in bench? Are you overlooking the multiple errors committed by Garcia and Pique in recent matches? When was the last time we saw Lenglet or Umtiti in action? A real coach would create competition for places in the team. Some players feel like nothing would happen to them even if they play rubbish

Were you a Barcelona fan during the days of Silvinho and Giovanni Van Bronkrost at LB? GvB was the better and younger player, but Rijkaard still used old Silvinho in our 2006 UCL final win over Arsenal. Now that's competition.

jpmoriarti:
So if we had players like Ansu fati, Dembele, Braithwaite, Pedri, Frenkie de Jong all fit and playing, we would be playing Dest and Balde in attack? You can't be playing defenders in attack if all is well with the attack.

By Depay being the only light, I meant he has been the only player in the attack that has been injury-free. And he has 5 goals too. Our highest goalscorer.

Besides, this coach is just an interim coach. We just sacked Koeman. Someone has to be there on the bench while a permanent coach is sought.

All these aforementioned players plus Messi were there when we chopped 8 from Bayern and 4 from PSG.

What stops the coach from changing the formation? Must it always be 4-3-3? That's to tell you that that interim coach has nothing to offer.

The last time we had an interim coach was when Van Gall was sacked. That interim coach was a former Real Madrid coach. Tested and trusted.

Go and check this current interim coach's profile and you'll see how pathetic he is. Dude has been coaching for almost 10 years, but has less than 40% winning rate.

saddler:
They aren't playing badly?

What exactly are they playing?

Hold 72% possession and do nothing with it.

Lost 3 of their last five matches.

About to draw this too.

Lost to every decent or good team this season

Exactly! This was how we kept passing the ball without real bite in attack, and found ourselves 3 points above relegation zone in 2003.

abduleez1:
Not the kind of result we want but the team especially the youngsters showed Promise.

The subs made some level of impact. At least this coach knows how to sub and the adequate time.
Obviously more work needs to be done. Koeman's Shithood can't be erased in a matter of days.
The team was quicker and slightly improved in closing out players before getting into the 18 yard box.

Bro, you are saying these because we played at home against a grade C team. Shebi UCL is next, and our match is an away game. You will write something else.

Payporte:
if xavi like himself make he just stay for he Qatar side

If Xavi can get rid of those bugs in our team without sentiments, that's when I know we have got a coach. The bugs include Pique, Busquets and Alba.

jpmoriarti:
We have way too many injured players.

Almost all attack out except Depay who has been the only consistent light.

There's absolutely nothing those injured players would do. Depay is not the kind of player you should be rating high.

The kind of useless coaches we've been employing since post-Enrique has been one of the downfalls of the club.

This new useless coach can't do Jack.

OK. Lemme resume my cashing out of this pathetic team. I'm 100% sure that we won't win our next UCL match this week.

Payporte:
still same

Are you expecting any difference after bringing in Seiten Lite?

jpmoriarti:
He's not the substantive coach na. It is interim. Nothing permanent. As soon as the substantive coach is appointed, he goes back to Barca B.

Interim is meant to calm the storm raging the club. Antic did it for us after Van Gaal's disaster, Benitez also did an excellent job as interim at Chelsea.

This one doesn't look like someone who will change our fortune. Dude has less than 45% win in his managerial career.

I really hope he proves me wrong.

FirstbornWds:
Looks like we are to expect Koeman 2.0

Na same style them two get

Koeman actually has better stats than this new guy. He's more of Seiten LITE

FirstbornWds:
I am equally worried. But what can we do for now than hope that our board gets someone competent enough, soon.

Make we no turn to investor "SOMETHING HOOGE" next week.

He looks like Seiten lite

FirstbornWds:
Sergi Berjuan is our new interim coach.

The former Barca Manager is expected to be at the helms of affair whilst the management continue talks with other top candidates, with Xavi and Ten Haang leading the choice of prospects.

I am not comfortable with this guy's appointment. His winning percentage in each of the teams he's managed is less than 45%

Even the Barcelona B team he's managed, he has 40% winning games. Let's not raise hope on this guy.

Odunharry:
I tell you. Dem sack their former player.

United just dey delay..

Former player and captain whose goal won us our 1st UCL title.

Kudos to Laporta. No sentiments for nonsense.

Now that's what I'm talking about. How can a team like Barcelona can't get an away win or even win a decent team at home.

Kudos to Laporta for not being emotional like Manchester United.

Devvy4:
Since when have you been supporting Barce?

Serious fan Since 1999. AIT and TV Africa showed to us European football and UCL before dstv came up.

ddippset:
Wow

Week 10 and we are languishing in 9th.

When last did we have it this bad?

Van Gaal's era. We were 12th. Just 3 points above relegation zone.

Thank God for Radomir Antic who replaced Van Gaal. Antic converted Xavi from DM to CM and brought young Iniesta from La Masia.

The rest they say is history...

TheHulk616:
8 minutes has passed

Even if dem get extra 90 minutes, this useless team can't win an away match.

I'm so sure of it.

It's so easy to cash out on Barca

airmark:
If you make heaven, satan get hope.

Busquets should thank his stars for the team that covered his major weakness all these years.

you still dey get orgasm over Busquets matter after 12 freaking years. Oga, rest joor

FergieRaww:
Ah! ah! Aguero no dey miss penalty ?

Aguero vs Deadpay. Who would you put your money on?

GrammarNazi1:
After all, Depay is from Netherlands.

Abi oo. Sentiments everywhere.

Devvy4:
DEADPAY

Sincerely, I don't see anything in him that makes cules dey hype am for here.

He has never been a top player in my eyes.

Aguero dey pitch, dem dey give PK duties to that huge flop at Man Utd.

Raumdeuter, deboslink, homesteady, what did Busquet do again o?

Anybody can lose possession of the ball. The goal actually came when Pique allowed himself to be dragged and mopped by old man Falcao

Our players are slow and lazy with the ball. They can't launch any counter attack when opportunity arises. They can't even lay 3 to 4 passes in the final third.

Away form is zero. It's so easy to bet against this useless team at any away game nowadays.

Tellwhat:
Exactly what I told someone. Dest might be good but that's not his position and he's not even excellent going forward yet koeman made same mistake of playing dest as a winger

And I think it's about time Barca try umtiti again as our defence is clearly weak. Pique and Garcia pairing is not working

Bring Baresi and Maldini to our defense and see them turn to Bramble and Slyvestre as long as Koeman is coach.

This Barca team CANNOT beat any assembled team outside Camp Nou

80sjamshophip:
Zidane Madrid's side has faced kloop 3 times in the CL, kindly tell us what happened in the 3 matches

These epl fanatics believe that a coach without epl experience is average. See the way they are under rating Zidane. Same way they did to Pep before coming to England.

This is the same Zidane that flogged Klopp using the likes of Valverde at RB, unproven Militao at CB against the Liverpool's front 3. The same Zidane that won the league using Mariano and Valquez in attack. Same Zidane that brought Vinicius Jr and Valverde into limelight.

Same Zidane that managed efficiently the egos of CR7 and Bale and brought 3 UCL and 2 La Liga titles in 5 years.

I'm happy man utd is keeping Ole. I want to see Ororo playing Europa by February. Let's make history.

liveLongNprospa:
Doc I would have agreed with you if I didn't see the madness that Zidane did in his second stint.
Did you watch us play last season? Or when he won the league?
Like did you follow the team very well?

His second stint basically destroyed the point you are trying to make.

I am a La Liga follower, and I saw what Zidane did in his 2nd adventure at Madrid. The team was in disarray with the exit of Ororo and the shameful adventure of the current Sevilla coach.
Zidane came and stabilised the team.

He won La Liga with Mariano and Valquez, and dragged the unbalanced team to UCL Semis out smarting Klopp's Liverpool in the process.

Zidane na baba

I don't want Zidane to manage Man utd abeg. E get why.

Arsenal lost their 1st 3 games and were bottom of the league. Right now, they share same points with Man utd.

Oasis007:


Liverpool beat 10-Man United at Old Trafford

This is why we must give Ole all the support.

The last person to score a hattrick against man utd at Old Trafford was...

RONALDO NAZARIO DE LIMA (EL fenomino)
