Forget griezmann.

Any news on when fati and dembele will be back.

I want to see how Depay, Dembele and fati will look like.

Dembe wetin... I thought we wanted to sell that guy

jpmoriarti:
You want me to sit here and tell you we are going to to turn Arsenal or Milan this season, so you'll be happy?

We're not going to turn Arsenal or Milan. We have picked up 4 pts from two opening games, playing against La Real and ATH. I don't think that is the worst possible result to be had.

Cheer up mate. We're not gonna turn Arsenal or Milan.

Besides, if Laporta feels Koeman is no longer the right man to lead the coaching staff, I trust him to take the right decision. Last week, y'all praised the coach but this week it is Koeman is turning us to Milan and Arsenal. Fans can be too emotional and too fickle.

Who praised Koeman? Lol. Be whining yourself.

Kilishihunter:
You're talking of depay, See demir that entered that was trying to push the attack, Ok Messi has gone, You are the new main man, Prove yourself even if it's by just taking your chances, No, na to dey rotate everywhere like Taliban, If he likes let him not wake up, Fati would still come back from injury and outshine him again, Maybe the booing by Barca fans accusing him of being the reason messi left hasn't shaken him

E say e day rotate like Taliban...

Lol...there is no joy here tonight

oliverano:
Big man, even if Barca go for prime Puyol, Nesta, Lucio, it won't change anything.
The coach is the problem. It's beyond signing experience players at this point. Luis Enrique dominated these games with ease. Get a better coach and watch Barca.
If you're asked, what was Koemans tactics today what will be your answer. Even Arteta will get Koeman really decked at this point. Terrible to watch
una goodnight!

Like you read my mind. I honestly tried to see if I'd learn about the approach the coach was using to try to understand him but I just couldn't. I thought it was just me

You don't tell a blind man it's raining!

He might as well think he's under a shower and yank off his cloth to take a bath. Thus, further making him seem like a mad man to those viewing from afar.

We wont die. We're going to get better. We weren't better off even with Messi around. We haven't won the league in the last two seasons. Under Messi's watch, we have suffered back to back to back European embarrassment. I think we have seen it all already. Only way for us now is up.

Same thing Milan said till they found themselves in the debris they are in now. Arsenal too must have felt that they'd still pull through but we know their story.

The issue of suffering back-back emabrasment is really becoming something else with your argument cos I know that two of the said emebarssment came with Messi giving us a legitimate lead good enough for a side like Barcelona to proceed to win the UCL but then, saw the team surrendering whatever cos they were clueless and had one of the most stupid person in a manager, EV as a coach.


But as it stands now, I'll gladly beg EV over this bloated cow managing this team.

Kilishihunter:
And the only LCB we have na case, But even if we do see, Koeman fit still do rubbish, Aswear after this game my respect for messi went past 100%, that little man too overcover barca yansh

I was just telling my younger brother to expect Lengelet on the pitch in our next game and boy looked at me with so much disdain that I had to laugh out so hard.

oliverano:
Too many trolls on Barca thread lol

What I'm I even doing here sef!

Na wetin we day face always be that. But then, innit is the fun.

homesteady:
I don't know if it is too early to start saying this, but I will say it.
Is this how Griezmann want to allow Depay outshine him? Ha!

If you are looking at seeing a better Friedman, then good luck to that. As e be so, I have since moved on to accept that we are playing 9 against 11 everytime cos even MB isn't still the classic, yet.

abduleez1:
If we had another coach in the shape of Tuchel, Naggelsman, Flick, Ten Haag or Pep we would be better off. But with Koeman we are in for Hell.

This man will single handedly drag us to running for too four race.

Na Bartomeu thunder go fire big time. We see all these top coaches we no collect, na brain dead coach we come see sign.

Cos say na Netherlands coach... So thunda-faryad Bato decided to gamble yeye gamble that he did with Setien.

jpmoriarti:
Never say never bro. In the last 5 years, we havent been much better even with Messi. I see this squad as a fresh air. A new beginning. We can yet build an amazing team that can win alot of trophies. Season is only beginning. People that are winning the leagues and UCLs do not have Messi. If they won it, we too can

The only thing that was salvaging whatever scum we were becoming was Messi. Now that he's gone, I honestly await what will become of us.

joviegghead:
Na die today.

We've complained about moving past old players like busquets.

But you know who's in charge.

Asin... Let's even take it that Busi is an old wine but we honestly to start having a formidable replacement during halftime or at most 60 mins. Jong would have been perfect but them don turn the guy to box to box finish so, either the likes of Pjanic ( that's if he's not leaving), Riqui ( weather dream) or someone else need to just step up.

oliverano:
El classico is not the problem, it's a league game and at most a 2 or 3:0 victory for Madrid won't hurt like getting really decimated in the UCL against a solid team like Bayern, City or even PSG.

You are on point. The fear isn't league games. These guys will so get decimated by superior teams in the UCL if they manage to get past the group stage.

jpmoriarti:
Excellent game.

Thoroughly enjoyed it

As it is, you can not be normal. You obviously are a troll... Definitely not a Barcelona fan.

Surely... Na to swear for you or plank you remain

Garcia did well to make that foul but to be honest, our midfielders except for Jong, are just too sluggish. Damn

Damn.. Jong is becoming way solid.. Demir is really good

The venom with that shot could send any keeper asunder.


Thank you Memphis...

Demir, under proper tutelage might just do more exploits.

GrammarNazi1:
De Jong is good.

Obviously.

oliverano:
Brother man too many children on the forum.
Don't mind these guys, I mean if they can't see that koeman is a very limited coach then I just don't know what to add.
Koeman is making Satien look like prime Pep. I bet only another 8-2 will wake some kids up!!!

I honestly can't agree any less.

The only positive players on this field are Jong, Araujo and Garcia. Any other player here are completely flukes.

We are seeking goals, Koeman brings in two midfielders and takes off a striker.

Lol... Simply lol

joviegghead:
With messi gone, we shall know fully if he was a burden in the team or the team was a burden to him.

We shall know if messi impeded griezmann. Griezmann has his chance now to be the main man.That was what he and his national team coach were ranting for.

Most importantly, we shall know if koeman is truly competent to handle this team.

The only thing Koeman should be allowed to manage is his family affairs. That man is no good to us as a coach

joviegghead:
That was messi

Isn't it obvious? Brilliant opponents knew this and dealt us massive blows by not allowing him the ball thus, making him to fight for it thereby displacing the others from positioning.

We go really suffer if Koeman is made to continue.

This team is shiiit. Kai

homesteady:
It's like the opposite of the last game. It's just like it wasn't the same team that played last week.

joviegghead:
We need to find an X factor for that midfield and attack. Someone who can make things happen. Nothing seems to be working.

Be like them use that match use tell Messi ByeBye... Now reality has set in.

But honestly, Koeman would be so dull not to recognise that the three strikers upfront are just too disorganized. Not to talk about not having a midfielder that can either use through balls and pace or dribbles to break through this ATH. Na like this we go day day??

This game ehnnn

Messi's dominance was too much.

So this other guy no even manage to score up to 50 despite being tagged a goal machine?

Kai... What should we call Leo sef? Playmaker, Goalscorer abi what? Cos Braithwaite don carry that GOAT status

pu7pl3:
No you shut up...a player choosing to stay and fight for his place takes alot of mental strength and fortitude, you can't say the person is in his comfort zone for doing that and excuse someone else

Damn... Your really wack bro. Jesus!!

pu7pl3:
I don't know why you're using the comfort zone narrative for Puig but refused to use it for Messi

Wetin this wan come day talk na?

How will you compare Messi's career at Barcelona where he won everything as an elite player and cemented his place as the best player to ever kick the round leather to Puig who's struggling for minutes? If any of them should seek better challenges, it should be the latter since that's if hes washer to quickly make his mark on World football?

How them take relate?

Simply see through him. Our guy wants to use reverse psychology

UNCL3:
Leave our Puig alone... Koeman doesn't rate him, who cares? Koeman will leave after all and Puig will get what he truly deserves... Yes, let him stay in his comfort zone!! Why are you acting like you care now?
