His lack of presence in the box and ball retention. He can improve on that. But Gavi and Pedri are still ahead of him. Accepted, this was his first league start this season.

Ball retention, he did well with that, although became rusty later.

Lack of presence in the box isn't even Pedri's forté. That's one of the things we are asking him to improve on.

All the same, he did well, especially with the pass to Oscar that led to a goal.

temi1290:
Why is nobody talking about Puig? He's the motm for me, massive display

The best in the midfield position yesterday, no doubt.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
real madrid nko?

Those ones be like them don steal the league already

We are fifth with a game in hand and one point off ATM and two points off third-placed Betis.

Kilishihunter:
I'll might still throw him under the bus if he goofs below his standards but what a save from Ter Stegen

I nearly died when that ball got to the Mallorca player.. How he saved it was quite superb. Kudos and may it continue for a long time.

cliqtips:
No please....

It seems you don't want to agree that the youth system is nothing to write home about.

I could remember when the likes of Jonathan, Pedro, Cuenca and the likes were brought to the first time. They placed very well and that was because the youth system was functioning very well.

In fact, the Barca B team was winning the league in their division.

The youth team isn't as formidable as it used to be, no doubt. However, my previous assertion was centered on the fact that you used this particular game as a case study for the ones playing in the first team today.

We did it.


Make the other players do come back abeg

cliqtips:
What Barca B players are playing says a lot about the system.

They have lost it and need to start again from the root.

Gone are days when Barca's strength was in its youth system.

Most of them are playing top flight for the first time. The ones that have been there before have held their ground well with only a few complaints.

Just two more minutes guys.


Make una stop this fight abeg

Kilishihunter:
That boy has really covered ground in this game, I feel for him and Mingueza

He has done really well.

Thank you Stegen

jpmoriarti:
Mingueza also injured!

Nawaooo.

Not injured but taken off to be protected. Just a slight muscle pull as Nico

This Mallorca team can dribble

Herbiedeen:
same way he celebrated when he scored against man utd when he was at madrid abi??

sometimes ehn, you don't just troll for the eun of it cos you might make a fool of yourself in the process....

just an advice tho, no hard feelings....one love

The beginning of this ramble was Joker staring Ronaldo will not celebrate if he scored against Manyoo if he was a City player.

After the whole charade with Madrid against Manyoo, has there been any time he didn't celebrate his goal against them?

As for your advice, I don't have any grudge against it despite it being irrelevant. I didn't banter but stated the obvious, so it doesn't stand.

jpmoriarti:
Luuk De Jong has done absolutely nothing to merit the ridicule he regularly receives.

He's been trying to be the protagonist

Lol. Don't start, please.

Before the shots that troubled the keeper, did you see how rigid he has been with the ball? Couldn't even connect passes. Let's not talk about the previous games, anyway. And you know this already, Barcelona isn't that kind of team with a patient fanbase. Personally, I'm not overly convinced by his goal yet. He should show us more than scoring one goal.

The major positivity of this game for me has got to be Oscar. Boy has been closing down runs to dense and has been connecting with Illaix.

Jugtlar has been impressive with his vision and plays too, with Jong showing fine flashes in the air.

Nice pass from Riqui to connect with Mingueza with a beautiful cross.


This is nice!!!

Goal... Jong

Na Luuk day threaten keeper with shots so?


Wow

Garcia's forward passes are good

This ain't good at all

Roland17:
Inhale your lack of direction in this debate like Port Harcourt black soothe, it has not killed PH people, it will not kill you.

"Ramsdale too" brought another individual into the subject of the debate which is comparison, it shouldn't require subjective defintions.

Mentioning "Arinze Baby Fiist Abalaka" triggered your response, end of story.

Did I just read you compare someone's football perceptive to black soothe?

Damn... This is not good!!

jpmoriarti:
Has Pep Guardiola wrapped up yet another Premier League title?

I don't know how a coach can be so tactically sound and humble at the same time. Pep is that kind of manager that'd win it all and still reduce his next opponents with good words to make them think they stand a chance.

Let's not talk about his capacity to refine gameplays within minutes and make the said title contenders to being pretenders.

Kai!!

Jokerman:
Lol.... doesn't matter... just imagine Ronaldo in front of Debryne, Silva etc, the tap in for just too much to the pain of Pessians

So you want him to play under the greatest manager of all time, too?


Sorry, Guardiola no rate am. He definitely won't want a pest to infest the growth of a team he labored to build. Rather, he'll play without a striker

jpmoriarti:
I don't want him too. It is just that we need to register Ferran Torres. Without Dembele renewing with a lower salary or leaving altogether, we'll struggle with registering Ferran

Ferran's course would be sorted before the next game on 5th. Let's just see how we manage today

Jokerman:
He won't celebrate if he scores Man UTD.... moreover he's at retirement age.... so my support for him doesn't stop my support for man utd

Lol. He won't celebrate what? Person way Manyoo strong thing for Juve, later pull shirt.

If you think Ronaldo owes any club loyalty cos he has played there before, then you no sabi who you day gbansh. Man is a fvcking professional and would not hesitate to do the next "Siuuuuu" celebrate against any damn person, even if Ferguson is the opposition's head coach

jpmoriarti:
Barça are studying a deal to send Ousmane Dembélé to Manchester United, and Anthony Martial would join Barcelona on loan. This would help a lot with the salary bill.

— @diariARA

Anything to get that unfortunate player out of Barca this January, is most welcomed

Martial is also another unfortunate lot. I personally don't want abeg

jpmoriarti:
The key to the game tonight is to defend well, since its like na only defenders we got today. No single fullback. No right back nor left back in the squad.

The Laliga authorities are such a joke mehn! The other day 2 of our players couldn't come back in time from the South American international game, they were quick to postpone our game with Sevilla. Only two players o. Now we have over 15 players out of the game and they refused to postpone. It is so unbelievable.

It's just an act to further frustrate us to sign Tebas CVC nonsense. But this too shall pass. Na small small

Anyways Madtidstas, happy new year lamentations to all of una...

Long may your woes last!!!!

JP hen.. How do you expect him to call Mods when they banned his first account for life? You never still notice say na new account him day run now?

He wants the same thing to happen, hence the bitchy acts.

Kilishihunter:
I'm looking forward to how FDJ performs as the pivot of the midfield since busquets is suspended

Not alone

Azurevermillion:
Seems like you don't rate Ferguson?

.

I really don't, sorry.

Not downplaying his achievements, but please, he's not the man I'd want to bring in for tactical brightness in any team.
