It is not a matter of shalaye football is a game of complex interaction and stats alone doesn't tell the true story always.

Question... Who had more tackles than Busquets?

Amota94... Football is a complex medefegedebe

You made the assertion, so back it up and let us disprove you cos I know it's a lie

[quote author=Ibime post=96313812]Let me 1st show you what A REAL Attacking midfielder carry

Ibime:
Is this a fact, or something you pulled out your ãrse?

Drop your own fact or is it fart

Amoto94:
He had Rakitic and MSN

You are kidding right? So MSN are the ones doing the tackling. So Rakitic is now world-class just because you wanna sly Busquets

Ibime:
Can you show me any individual honour of note that Busquet won?

[s]Nigga has not even made FIFA11 once. Busquet was the same snail then and now. The only DM who constantly throws aways 3 goal leads for Barca in UCL every season without fail. Just give MSN their due for 2015 season and leave Busquet out of it like FIFA did.[/s]

Stop beating about the bush and tell us who had more tackles than Busquets in his prime

Ibime:

Football is psychology. When teams are used to parking bus against Barca for the last 10 years, they continue to do so in 14/15 until someone showed them you can get at Busquet. Since then he has been everyone's bïtch.

Same thing happened to Fabregas in 2014/15. Everyone was standing off him for the first half of the season until Spurs showed him up in January, then every team started targeting him. Same with Jorginho in his first season until Bournemouth showed everyone he is a target.[/s]

Can you show me the recognition Busquet received in 14/15 for his work?

We remember the 40 shots of Lampard without a goal in WC. That's a record

Godx:
Who carried Busquet during our 2nd Treble season?

Ibime is an orator who has many followers here. Even if he post lies, many will believe him.

Ibime:
Comot there. Teams were scared of Xavi then and set out to park bus, hardly ever running at Busquet, but when they did, he would escort. As soon as Xavi left, Busquet became useless.

Now teams have changed orientation, they don't just sit back but they press high. Busquet should try escort nonsense against Salah, Mane type players that don't play scared like Malouda and co of those days. Oh I forgot, he did and got embarrassed. Every year he gets embarrassed now from Liverpool to Roma to Bayern to PSG, Busquet is everyone's bïtch

Even those days, when Bayern was putting 7 goals past Barca, Busquet was a well known escort.

No wonder Busquet never won any individual award of note. Busquet should go and give half of his career earnings to Xavi.



And you lied, Busquets was not averaging 100 passes a game then, more like 70s, while Xavi was averaging 90-100.

Xavi was in Barca 10 years before busquets and small teams like dropping us to 16th position till Edgar Davids came in to help us. Tell us if Xavi was a regular when Busquets was protecting my midfield in 2015 and we won the treble.

Who displaced world-class players like Yaya and Mash from their position if not Busquets?

As if Xavi not there when Bayern dropped 7 against Barca in 2013?

Vincent Del Bosque famously said "If you watch the game, you don't see Busquets. But if you watch Busquets, you see the whole game."

thorrvik55:
U just rush into a discussion without knowing the basis of that discussion.. Read the post below again, this time slowly, maybe you'll get it this time

You are really missing the point. Atletico massive defence covered Rodriguez. Is Barcelona a defensive team? When we were under attack, who covered Busquets? Who had more tackles than Busquets?

Amoto94:
An organized press did the job plus the offensive threat of Barca

Who had more tackles than Busquets of those days? Or is organised press the name of a Barca player?

Godx:
Bro Wait for the Shalayes

I'm honestly waiting

thorrvik55:
We are talking defensive contributions this one is shouting 100 sideways passes per match.. Players like Rodri, Busquets, Jorginho are all Escorts defensively, giving 1 million sideways passes won't change that

So who was doing our defensive duties from midfield then? Was it Xavi or Iniesta?

jpmoriarti:
Not true. Messi was one of the poorest player on the pitch yesterday. Dude was well below par. None of his dribbles came off. He kept losing possession. Savic was closing him down effortlessly. Grezimann had a better game than he did. Zero goal threat. Zero pressing. Offered absolutely nothing going forward.

You can say that to all our players except Lenglet and maybe Dembele. You see the rest ehn, none of our midfielders and forwards could even hold on to the ball and drive forward. Once a player got the ball, the next thing is to pass immediately. No drive.

We are really back to 2000 - 2003 era of Van Gal

BlueRayDick:
Exactly! Na dem Busquets kinda DM

Kindly don't bring prime Busquets into this. Busquets was dropping an average of 100 passes per match during his prime, and wasn't surrounded by defensive-minded players like Rodriguez at Atletico.

tesppidd:
Next 3 fixtures after Dynamo Kiev on Wednesday;

Osasuna - Home.
Ferencvaros - Away.
Cadiz - Away.


It is high time we took our chances and rest both Messi and De Jong for all these 3 games.

At this rate those two are going to die of fatigue.

If you think this current Barcelona can will any game outside Camp Nou without Messi, you better think again.

Germany with no single shot on target so far.

Anyway to drag Lampard, I'm in.

We are not surprised that you'll speak low of Messi.

Messi is the guy who made your star studded team play like Stoke City in 2 UCL final matches including the one at Wembley.


So we really understand your frustration.

See as Ramos dey lose penalty. 2 for that matter.

Finally, both De Gea and Kepa on the bench for Spain. Let's see how it goes tonight.

Spinoza204:
Exactly! You get the point. The DiSEqC switch is what enables you connect the different satellite dishes to enable the signal decoding from multiple streams of radio signals.

Please kindly explain the multistream feature you mean?

Please gurus, help ourtv guys here to explain this issue of multistream in a layman's language. Perhaps, it will enable them to create a software that will solve this issue.

If ourtv can fix this on their decoder, they have the potentials to be one of the very best fta decoders in Africa.

tesppidd:
You're not wrong.

I want Messi to be rested from time to time, am sure we all do.

Playing football at 33 is not easy, especially with the style of Messi.

But my question was where you said Ronaldo is more professional than Messi because he is rested.

Was it Ronaldo that rested himself?

So why can't Messi be rested from time to time? The reason why we didn't complain in the past is because his output was great. Nowadays, it's clear to the blind and audible to the deaf that his output has dropped massively.
But Messi must play because that's what he signed in that contract.

As for Ronaldo being more professional, don't let me give some trolls some bones to jump at. We go trash that one out later in the future.

tesppidd:
I don't think Ronaldo has ever rested on hia own accord.
In fact he has had serious problems in the past with coaches who dared to rest him.

So could you pls explain exactly what you mean?

I can't count the number of times Ronaldo was rested ahead of crucial ucl games while @ Madrid.

And we've had numerous occasions where Messi, despite scoring hattrick against the Levantes and Eibars and we are leading like 5-0 will still play 90 minutes, instead of being subbed and rest for crucial ucl games.

Am I wrong?

homesteady:
One important step towards moving this team forward is to start Resting Messi. No matter how we all want to gloss over it, Messi has been more bad than he has been good this season.
What Messi is doing is borderline insanity. Why should a 33 year old player be playing every single minute? If this can't be addressed, then we should be expecting this Messi throughout this season.


I just feel like Messi should be given two weeks off. He should watch, observe and see how he can be more useful to the team.

Messi's contract since 2016 had a clause which is "to play every game unless stated otherwise by the player". Make I no open his yansh too much for here.

Messi is an excellent player, but Ronaldo is a better professional.

joviegghead:
Quick question fellow Barça fans: when was the last time Messi got substituted in a match? Or came on as a sub.

He came on as a sub against Levante; a match we played before the Liverpool game when Valverde was coach.

kenny160:
i bought it in december last year but i wasnt around, so i start using it around april dis year. First i saw all the station listed dey are gotv stations when i select antenna source. The NTAi is working in fact always and i saw one station too then called Mnet is DSTV station sha, but later stoped working. But i can assure u that all the gotv station was working like two weeks ago when the gotv was working free and now is like Lagos govt give gotv acess to Ltv8 for free so a. Watching it freely. That free to air stations can be access too with satellite dish.. I can assure u 10000% nascotv is a good product.

How did you scan for gotv channels on this TV?

Bartomeu left and I'm seeing a bright future already.

Nice one Dembele

Galactico4ever:
E go shock you when she makes a successful defence,though I think there's no title defence in the next PPV,Survivor series.

It's a jinx that needs to be broken. But I feel WWE might wanna make a story out of it. So I see her losing her title at her 1st defense.

Patiently waiting for Sasha Banks to lose her championship in the next PPV

haymekus:
-Start underwhelming players

-Wait and watch them play rubbish while opponents dominates

-Concede goals and losing

-Wait until the 82nd minute and make panic sub

-Then finally lose the match

This is how Koeman has been all along. He nearly relegated Everton with his clueless wisdom.

Bartomeu has really screwed Barcelona.

We're screwed!
