I want him to continue o

Before nkor...

But his sack letter was already prepared even before the game.

It's almost certain that Conte will be replacing Lopetegui as soon as today... Hmmm.

IKON360:
I didn't watch till the end

Ohh okay. He literally created the 4th goal. But, the match was already won by then though.

IKON360:
that Classico we beat Madrid 4 - 0 that Messi didn't play when Neymar was still around... Through out that Messi injury Suarez and Neymar were phenomenal too. Suarez I think plays differently without Messi, and plays another way with Messi. The guy is so good. And his passing range is unusually good for a 9. How many 9s pass like him, excluding Higuain and Ibra?

Messi played, but he came on when it was already 0-3.

Barça pierces the heart of Madrid.

Awwwwww

No player has adapted so quickly like he did. It is like Barca style was tailor-made for him. He's not even spectacular just like Busquet wasn't. He just goes on and do those little stuffs he can do, keeping it simple, being intelligent, never tries to over-do things, just like Xavi and Iniesta does. Once he can be able to start finding those defence splitting passes like Iniesta, then i know he's arrived finally.

Well... For me, he has already arrived. As much as that would be a welcome boost to his game, yet I don't need to wait for him to start doing that before I acknowledge his talent and contributions to the team.

Messi is regarded as one of the best passers of the game today, and it didn't start right off the bat. He had already won awards and regarded as one of football's finest even before his passing game became renowned for what it is today. So, on that note, I say Arthur has arrived, but of course there is no limit to improvements.

ANGELMARVE:
They all tried their best.
The eleven players did their best, not just Arthur.
I am very proud of all of them and the fans in camp nou were awesome.

The team played nice no doubt. But sometimes we single out some standout performers. I guess if Messi played and scored the hattrick Suárez scored, you wouldn't be talking about the team but about Messi's performance.

We need to learn to give praise to other players who deserve it.

Pique sha...

Shey I said it two weeks ago?
The guy is a gem

For those complaining that he makes sideways passes. I hope they're seeing his impact in the team as a whole. He is making Coutinho focus on creating. Relieving Rakitic of the pressure that he has been used to. Even making Busi's work less tidious. He has given the team, especially in midfield a much needed balance.

Arthur is the best thing that happened to Barcelona since God knows when... Damn!

TalabiAudu:
More than 3 self.

I just dey wonder, if Messi con dey this game, scores would have been 9-1

Well... Football is one funny game. It might not have turned out differently. Who knows, may be worse for Barça sef. You can't predict or judge football that way.

Since the 4-0 demolishing of Madrid few seasons ago, I am honestly yet to see someone boss the El-Clasico as much as Roberto. His runs, movements and involvement... Mehn, that guy owns Madrid walai.

philfearon:
Unfortunately, he has.
Didn't you see him destroy up to 3 clear goal moves?

Gbam!!!

Ibukzy:
attacking wise alba and marcrlo are almost on par, but defensively alba na baba

Marcelo is better attacking wise. Alba is better defensively. Let's leave it at that.

Florentino after making the call... Y'all know the call.

TalabiAudu:
Thunder faya Courtois see

Guy no be him fault na...

TalabiAudu:
Madrid don ji ooo

Suarez will be playing rubbish and still score.

Exactly!

Ibukzy:
alba currently the best left back in the world

Marcelo is still alive bro... Let's not be biased abeg. Alba is great no doubt.

haymekus:
I wonder why rafinha is starting ahead of Dembele??

So far, him getting the nod over Dembouz has been justified. Suárez should be shot though.

Still available

TLona1:
Where is that phool that said it'll take God's grace for Barca to qualify from the group stage?

Wait till he comes to sing a different tone.

Arthur!!! The best signing ever!

Netfilix:
Barca without Messi ain't critical as some people might think it is.

True... But also, Inter are a very foolish side.

patrickmuf:
Is Valencia a top team? That they managed to leave Old Trafford with a point is a negative testimony to where we are presently.
Juventus have a stable defence yes but how about the midfield? Is Pjanic, Bentacur and Matuidi better than Pogba, Matic and Matic? No...So why were we dominated? Simple, tactical set up, Cancel was advancing at every opportunity along with Sandro who was surprising a bit conservative in the process stretching our midfield.
Up front, Dybala and Ronaldo choosed their moment to get into the box, they spent the entirety of the match on the wings and through the AM position dragging our CBs all over the place and in process distorting our defensive shape...This is tactics. What was our own game plan? Pass to Martial and hope he does something out of the ordinary or wait for a moment of brilliance from Pogba. When last did you watch our game wherein you saw a move and knew a goal was in the offing? I bet you can't remember.
We have the team to outplay Juventus but we don't have a coach who is positive with his approach.

Simple truth...

nitrogen:
Do you even know what you are saying? So Pogba, Matic, Herrera, Fred, Mctominay, Pereira, Fellaini are not midfielders, abi? Lets be realistic, you only need to play Pogba, Matic and maybe Fred to attack any team.

Regarding our defense, how many clubs have solid defenders? The same defense that was about the best in the league last season. How come these guys are playing shyte?

Tactics matter alot, if your tactics are right, nobody will complain about your defense. Check Man City (Otamendi, Laporte, Stones), Arsenal (Mustafi, Holding, and the other fringe players), Liverpool (apart from Dijk, who else?), even Chelsea (Luiz Rudiger etc), these guys are not top notch midfielders, but their managers understand them and approach games with tactics that mask their weaknesses.

Fuvk Mourinho!

You sabi watch ball.

Mourinhoe has made Man United to be as useless as a rotten egg. Mtcheew.

krattoss:
I feel like mourinho is punishing man utd board by playing lukaku week in week out.. Maybe cos they didn't give him enough money to shop new striker and players..

Defenders you mean?

I have stated it time and again that Mourinho will bring this great club called Manchester United to its knees. I mean, what other evidence do we need to prove otherwise?

I'm really sorry for the fans. This is as low as it gets. The lowest ebb in footie for a club like United.

Hmmmm
