Pedri with those space creating movements...


We've missed this boy

Be like they swear for Dembele with balloon shots?

This De Jong way Xavi comot for Pedri get as e be o

Kilishihunter:
At least he tries bro, his aggression can be worked on, he just has to be talked to, Busquets that's supposed to be leading the way for the youngsters caused the goal that led to Vardrid's opener

I don't want to lambast him yet.

Kilishihunter:
Na so we dey talk say him go improve since he was 19, now he's 24, if we dey find dribblers wey go hold that right wing, Antony dey, okafor dey, et Al, Only God knows what he'll even demand for next if he scores in this game

Lol. I kukuma understand you.


I just hope he stays fit and focus. Dembele is one of the four reasons defenders are staying alert whilst against us. The rest been Abde and Jugtla. Jong just came in to the equation

Kilishihunter:
Fati and pedri should come in the second half, gavi should go out since he's on a yellow to avoid stories that touch

Please, they should talk to that boy. He commits too much foul, even in opposition's half.

jpmoriarti:
Ferran Torres is clearly not match fit. Slow and ponderous. Someone else should be brought in after the break.

We did well to get back into the game after being 2nd best for the first 30 mins.

We only picked up tempo after we conceded.

jonsnow92:
Lol
Person wey dey always flatter to deceive.

Lol. No mind say I fit change am for am tomorrow.

Kilishihunter:
Abeg make e dey go, He's taking out defenders alright tonight but his end product and consistency levels are still poor

Honestly, he go improve. Yes, end product is bad but abeg, passing around can't guarantee us the capacity to take out top-tier defenders

We can't sell Dembele please.


We just can't

Jong Baby

Xavi must reslly need this match to have started Ferran direct.


I just didn't expect it

Leeds are offering £10m for Ferran Jugtla.

Not a good sell for me. I'd rather we keep him

jpmoriarti:
We're not scared.

Everyone knows Real Madrid have better team than we do right now.

Most of our top players are not even match fit. As much as 5 were declared fit yesterday alone. Ansu Fati, Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Araujo and Ferran Torres. All starters.

Of course, I would love us to win but it won't be a disaster if we lose. Next season, I'm sure we'll compete better

PayPorte day sabi jinx ooo. Forget say na Cule.

I've won at least 4 times with the Madrid team whenever I see his prediction on their thread. Forgive me, I just couldn't hold myself cos e don turn that Twitter guy "UnitedTrey". If that guy tells you good morning in football, know that it's nightfall. The only time he was ever wrong was Barcelona vs Bayern's second leg this season. I hope the same happens with our guy here sha

jpmoriarti:
Yeahh but winning el-classico will give the team the kick and credibility it needs right now. Also clinching the first trophy of the season, won't be a bad idea.

I don't see how we can win sha... Not downplaying our boys but we need a lot more of geling well for this team to flourish. The occasional on and off is not helping matters at all

jpmoriarti:
❗️Official: Araújo, Ansu Fati, Frenkie, Ferran Torres, and Pedri have all received the medical green light and can play against Real Madrid.

How Araujo recovered so swiftly is so surprising. Hopefully, our Vinicius Jnr stopper

I'm actually thinking we tryna force Araujo to play. I hope he stays fit cos if left to me, I'll gladly focus on making the top 4 than the matches

abduleez1:
The way dem take dey link Barca with every nonsense these days dey vex person sometimes.

Very annoying media

Ibime:
European clubs hardly use Africans as playmakers that's why. They only use them as gbas gbos players. That's what happens when 11 gbas gbos players face each other. The heat and the pitches aren't helping either. Mind you, Copa America was the same, just gbas gbos everywhere.

In all honesty, CoPa is better. At least, we get to see some fine touches, passes and even se moments of brilliance; not underestimating the gbasgbos tackles. But you see this Afcon, I can't explain if anyone can find anything interesting about it. Every team here seem to be playing the same style; Gidigbo pressing and Insha Allah.


Soooo boring

Back in those days when I was a big fan of Oscar but right now, make Barca no just try bring this Pro Havertz come my club

How is this even possible?

TheHulk616:
all Ancelotti has to do it remain fraudzard from the squad completely.

Remain keh?

jpmoriarti:
Teslim Balogun stadium is not even standard. I heard they have told the Super Eagles never to play any match there again because of the poor nature of the pitch. Only Abuja stadium and Uyo stadium that is standard.

Every agency in Nigeria is riddled with so much corruption. It is so saddening.

That's the thing. The problem of insecurity and light is easily fixed. The only time I know we really dealt with light issues was when we played Honduras on Lagos that year. Laugh no gree me that day.

jpmoriarti:
Can Nigeria host AFCON like this? I have never been to Cameroun but if they can host AFCON, then it means they have alot of things better than Nigeria do.

The CAF checks alot of things before they award a bid. Things like electricity, good road, security and good FIFA standard stadium. Because with Nigeria's state, we cannot host AFCON in the next 15 years unless something drastic happens.

NFF is the problem. They'd rather focus on irregularity and nonsense than go for it, plus they'd use the excuse of lack of standardized stadia. Apart from Teslim Balogun, the Akwa-Ibom/Calabat and Abuja stadium, we don't have any standard other standard stadia in Nigeria, stand to be corrected anyway!

jpmoriarti:
You're so right. We're so behind other African countries in terms of even good stadium. Where is our stadium? The national stadium Lagos have been abandoned. Left to rot away. Zero maintenance. While they all use Uyo and until that one detoriates to the dust, nothing else will be used or maintained.

Where is even the road? Which road is good in this country? How does fans move from one City to another? It is so depressing that we have made very very little progress as a country, while other nations continues to leave us behind.

Abegggg. Is it not the same Cameroon that's ravaged with Separatists, bad roads, and others? Cameroon isn't any better than Nigeria. My personal experience in Cameroon isn't any better than in the northern part of this country. Let nobody deceive you, the only difference between us and most of the African countries is our media that tends to thrive with bad news.

Kilishihunter:
It looks like Dest would move, As for Oscar I'm all in for la masia and I've been a keen supporter of it's system and graduates but as we know all of them can't really be world beaters, Oscar sadly is average and limited, both in the CB position he started with and now in RB, If not we wouldn't be looking at mazraoui, Do you remember this guy that got injured for a year, Moussa wague? If that guy comes back and returns to anything close to his pre-injury form, we might not need to spend on a new RB

It's surprising that we still have Wague in Barcelona. I hope he comes back strong sha, cos this lengthy time get as e be

Kilishihunter:
I thought it's only me that noticed, The guy actually wants 700k weekly so he'll get injured, come back and play mostly rubbish, I don't blame xavi, gavi or the defense for that draw, Our main problem was the attack, only one shot on target came from the rejected cornerstone Luukmon , I just hope our links with Ajax's Antony not adama traore (God forbid) are true so that mugu can carry his two left legs and geddifok for better hungry players, Alves was truly immense yesterday, Dest has to learn from him if he stays

Dest and Oscar, actually. Oscar day deliver sane crosses but lack defensive presence and poor positioning.

jpmoriarti:
Goldman Sachs has heavily invested in Barça. However, they do not have control of the club, or the naming rights at the Camp Nou. They have allowed Barça to financially compete with state-owned clubs, aiming to make a profit long term.

So why is this not improving our FFP outlook with LaLiga? Why do we have to sell before we buy? I don't really understand. If we have money to spend, we can as well have money to pay for salaries. As in, I don't get this.

Why is LaLiga propounding rules that aim to muzzle one of the biggest club in the world? If Barça ends up with only few La Masia players because of strict ffp, is that what Tebas and Co really want?

Most of these investments would become fully functional during the summer transfer. Right now, only a fraction of the investments count and until both parties; clubs and LaLiga regulators, have a sound meeting, they'd just be there on paper.

brandon180:
Tbh there is nothing special about dembele right now, maybe later in the future he can improve
But right now he should be sold…
Pique has improved greatly, he was solid yesterday..
And Dani alves mehn,

I've been waiting for this about Pique. Man has done so well since Xavi came and doesn't lose balls like he used to do. I still want another defender to bench him though. I'd prefer to see him offer experience than game time after summer.

Then Dembele, I don't even know what to say.

abduleez1:
I mainly blame Xavi for yesterday's performance.

He should have subbed off Gavi a while ago and brought in Puig. Gavi just recovered from injury, there's no need to risk him further especially with the team's record this season.

Exactly. Again, I've come to realize that anytime that Puig plays 90 minutes in the Barcelona shirt, he usually ranks among the best, if not the best outfield player that day. Of course, we know he has his shortcomings but I honestly think he deserves more playing time to adjust properly. Playing cameos have proven to continually wash him down for a while.

mostob:
but...one wouldn't expect DeJong to have more weight.

Well, maybe not. But there we have it.
