Like I said escorts are always off camera when goals are scored . Goals are rarely due to a singular error. Errors are usually solved quickly if other teammates are not derelict of their duty
First goal, Henderson ran from midfield unchallenged into the box to shoot which keeper spilled out for the goal. Who is supposed to be following the Liverpool midfield runners.
2nd and 3rd goal, Gini Wijnaldum runs through unchallenged to score. Again whose primary job is it to see a Liverpool midfielder breaking the lines and follow him?
Escorts always look for who made an error to blame because they are not on the scene when opposition is punching through.
Even numerous corners opposition are getting in these matches is due to defence getting overwhelmed and being put in many one-on-one situations forcing them to concede corners. A good midfield does not leave their defence repeatedly in one-on-one situations.
Whatever you say or don't say is actually meaningless untill you can provide a video proof of Busquet being found wanting for any of those goals scored by Liverpool. As shown above Busquet was not responsible for any of those goals conceded so whatever you are typing is meaningless.
Ibime: [s] One thing I know about football is that even Baresi and Maldini will concede goals if the midfield infront of them is non existent. Meanwhile Wes Morgan and Isaac Semitoje will defend a 3 or 4 goals lead as long as the midfield infront is competitive and compact.
These disgraces have been going on for almost a decade and Busquet is the only constant. Keepers and defenders have come and gone and Busquet is still chopping disgrace year upon year.
Next time Barca build a 4-0 first leg lead, they need to approach Chelsea for 2 weeks loan for Danny Drinkwater to see the job through as Busquet is obviously incompetent. What a fücking liability [/s].
You are just typing long meaningless paragraphs upon paragraphs. Blaming a single player for a 4:0 loss is the height of daftness.
Ibime: Put Danny Drinkwater and Isaac Hayden in front of Eyimba defence and they will see through a 4-0 lead against any team in the world.
But oh no, not Busquets
Even Angola won't be disgraced 4-0 in World Cup against any team, but asking a DM in one of the best teams in the world to protect a 4-0 lead over 90 minutes has turned to rocket science. Repeatedly his attackers keep building first leg leads and he keeps throwing them away in 2nd leg.
Yes just like how the great AC Milan team of Pirlo ,Gattuso, Maldini etc bottled a 3:0 lead to Liverpool. Casemiro drinking 4goals to An ajax team full of babies, Your very own Thiago Silva drinking in 6goals. Bravo again
Ibime: An average DM defends 3-0 and 4-0 leads easily.
Even Danny Drinkwater will not let such lead slip.
To overturn such a lead, you first need to overwhelm the midfield, in particular the defensive midfielder.
It's like Messi needs to win the first leg 7-0 before you can be sure that the escort Busquet will see Barca home. What a fücking liability.
Yes the Dm will play in attack, Midfield, Defense and in Post as well. He will also be the one to defend all the corners in which Barca have been conceding from in all those Champions league matches. Well done
Engaging or even trying to reason with an hater is always fruitless and a big waste of time. Basically Barca success has nothing to do with Busquet he was just a carryay but when Barca lose a match it becomes Busquet conceded 4goals against Psg.
Ibime: [s] Busquets is just a carryalong who plugged into to an already victorious Barca and Spain team who were already Champions before he joined the team. He is the DM version of Pedro. The only difference is Pedro gets judged on goals and assists while Busquets has been living off narratives for the last decade. He has been redundant since 2012/13 and was only relevant from 2009/10 - a short span of 3 years. It's not like Barca weren't European Champions when he joined or Spain weren't dominant Euro champions.
Explain why Busquets has been posting cricket scores in UCL since 2017
2013 - Bayern 7-Barca 0. Busquet chasing shadows as Barca get råped.
2016 - lost 2-0 at home to Atleti to get dumped out. Couldn't defend a first leg lead at home.
2017 - lost 3-0 to Juve in a single match and dumped out. Conceded 4 goals to PSG in a single match in the prior round only to be saved by UEFALONA and his attackers.
2018 - conceded 3 goals at home to Roma to get knocked out. Couldn't defend a 4-1 first leg lead
2019 - couldn't defend a 3-0 lead given by Messi in first leg. Whitewashed 4-0 by Liverpool
2020 - conceded 8 goals in 90 mins vs Bayern
2021 - conceded 4 goals at home vs PSG. Whitewashed 5-2.
If getting whitewashed is your thing, call Busquets. An escort you can rely on to turn your midfield into a highway for opposition to do what they like. [/s]
This is the height of daftness. Yes it was Busquet conceding those goals not Barca.
You think I didn't know that when I posted. I deliberately put 2013 because of the 7-0 embarrassment Bayern handed to them in 2013 while Busquets was escorting all over the pitch and couldn't stop a single counterattack.
Even an escort may get carried to a trophy inspite of himself, as MSN did for him in 2015 but apart from that, his escorting and uselessness as a DM had been exposed all over Europe in this modern era from Roma to Liverpool to Bayern.. Busquets cannot man DM in UCL in this era without returning an embarrassing scoreline for Barcelona. Last season own was 8 goals conceded in just 90 minutes.
1) 2014/2015 Barca won the treble with Busquet Manning the midfield so that's a big fat L to you.
2) Your 2nd paragraph is blatantly dumb. Bayern dominated the entire Barca Midfield in 2013. Putting it on solely Busquet is even more stupid.
3)Yes MSN was playing in attack, defense, Midfield and also keeping in Goalpost too when barca won the treble. Bravo
Ibime: Busquets is a passenger at least since 2013.
That's not to say he wasn't slow in 2009, but all he faced then were slow Malouda and Lampard type players trying to join Drogba after Drogba knockdown long ball. That was the version of counterattack he faced back then.
In this day and age where teams set up for hyper-speed on counterattack, Mane, Son, Salah, Sane, Gnabry, Coman, Neymar, Mbappe type players will roast a passenger like Busquets and they have been roasting him steady since 2013 .
Just like how Busquet was roasted in 2014 when Barca won the Treble. What an embarrassing post.
popizaino: Now if we go for players for players,forget the hype and the money used to buy this new generation of players,they will not come close to those old players in quality. Just one pass from Fabregas to Walcott to van Persie will unsettle this man city joke of defense. Torres of liverpool will laugh before he will score this city defence. Omg! Who wan hold Lampard for this city midfield talk more of holding Drogba in the defense How will defense cope with the attack of Ronaldo,Rooney Tevez?
popizaino: I think ibi.me has said it all but let me try again by concentrating on the top four in epl alone.The quality of football has reduced and that has always been my saying and If pep Guardiola's barca,is easily taunted as the greatest club team ever,then think about the team that competed favourably with them in that period. You need more than Havertz to beat the fourth best team back then. Back then if epl teams doesn't knock themselves out it is team with special players who goes on to win to the world best players that knock out epl teams. We only bow to teams with ronaldo or messi's talent not Havertz. The present UCL final match will be likened to a quarter final,evidence is how harvetz was set free to beat the keeper. I mean imagine the hectares of space he had to decide the game? U don see that kind chance for finals before? Lose game ! Now if we go for players for players,forget the hype and the money used to buy this new generation of players,they will not come close to those old players in quality. Just one pass from Fabregas to Walcott to van Persie will unsettle this man city joke of defense. Torres of liverpool will laugh before he will score this city defence. Omg! Who wan hold Lampard for this city midfield talk more of holding Drogba in the defense How will defense cope with the attack of Ronaldo,Rooney Tevez? There was a period when you beat Chelsea or any epl top four team you automatically win the UCL,now look at this sequence with this exceptional players.
06 Ronaldinho's barca beat Chelsea and arsenal to win the UCL
07 Kaka's milan will have to beat man united and liverpool who have beaten Chelsea win the UCL .
08 Ronaldo man United beat Chelsea who have beaten liverpool to win the UCL
2009 messi Barcelona beat Manchester United and Chelsea to win the UCL.
2010 Diego milito,Schneider's will have to beat Chelsea to win the UCL.
I used UCL matches just so you know the kind of competition in the league .
We made no wrong decision in renewing Lenglet. He has been a very solid and reliable defender in the last 2 seasons, so renewing his contract was not bad. The main reason we even extended him and 3 other players contracts was to get them on a reduced salary but for a longer time period, to make up for the reduction in their salary.
Melvyn11: Man City 9 clean sheets in their last 11 league games. As expected we won't hear how Rodri is an escort until the next time City loses then the agenda will arise again.
Rodri has been, quietly, really good this season. Pinging balls all over, recoveries, press resistant, etc.. He's stepped his game up . He has been the best DM in the league this season.
Top 10 Most Possession Won in PL (Midfield + Final Third)
Amoto94: The game is the game and psychological manipulation is allowed to certain extent, it is this era we are trying to extricate the psychological aspect of the game that's causing unnecessary drama and producing weaklings as footballers lacking strong mentality
Stop typing out of point. What psychological manipulation are you referring to insulting some ones mother and saying go do your "Voodoo shit, you donkey" to Lukaku. They are people that will always defend nonsense.
Kimbeast: Always been a huge fan of Tuchel. He is a very good Coach. He will perform exceptionally with the squad we have.
Tuchel is world class and tactically astute. If not for Barca policy of hiring Coaches i wanted him at my club. The only reason he was sacked at Psg and Dortmund was because he fell out with Leonardo and Watzke (Sold Gundogan,Hummels, Miki depleting his squad) two Foolish director of football.
popizaino: You are the one typing nonsense in beautiful English language. My argument has solely been on these two words better/stronger and not more successful and that is why I came up with those examples.football isn't simple arithmetic that being successful automatically translate to being the best.
Our weakest squad was more successful than one of our strongest squad.
Chelsea 2008 vs 2012.
Nobody asked you for better/stronger. A4.0 used Manchester city Centurion league achievement to proclaim them the greatest side in premier league history. Nobody can argue against that when they have numerous league records to back it up. Instead of attacking that point you have been doing whataboutism asking about Villanova Barca, England team and France team.
popizaino: Is the Three lion team under Gareth Southgate better than the team that had lampard,Gerrard,Rooney,Ashley Cole just because the former team made world cup semis and that of the later couldn't make it?
Abeg there should be level to what you guys force on us here pls.
You keep on typing Nonsense without making any points whatsoever. So if they ask you the more successful England team in the world cup between both teams you have listed, which one is it? You keep on focusing on big names rather than their achievement.
popizaino: That man city team was tactically inferior to those aforementioned teams. They only leveraged on the fact they were really no tougher teams in the league as compared to others .
Now answer my post to egbon dayo
Explain the bold. How are they tactically inferior to those teams and what makes them better than Man City Centurions in the premier league? You have not typed anything with point whatsoever.
Man City Centurions shattered these Epl records in one season. Bring out any team that has been more dominant in a premier league season.
