wasn't it that the season Enrique signed Rakitic and changed the style of Barca football, way Rakitic just dey run everywhere. It was goals scored that saved Barca those seasons na

Stop typing nonsense please

raumdeuter:
Pep was carried along
Busquets was carried
Messi cannot perform without Barcelona
Iniesta was a carry along unproductive player
Pique is a useless defender
Was it Valdes, Zlatan Henry, Pedro, or who
So who was doing the work at Barcelona when almost their entire 11 was carry along. Who was actually carrying them

Maybe it was Chelsea players from England

The entire team was carried along from the players to the coaches to the ball boys . It's getting hilarious daily

Amoto94:
It is not a matter of shalaye football is a game of complex interaction and stats alone doesn't tell the true story always.

All these are Shalayes. That Treble of 2015 renders both you and Ibime argument of Busquet being carried by Xavi or anybody else dead on arrival.

First it's was Xavi and Organized pressing, he then won a Treble without Xavi then it was Football is psychology to Rakitic boundless energy lmao

Amoto94:
His boundless energy, tenacity, passing, covered Busquet coupled with the attacking threat of Iniesta and MSN.

Omo this your Shalaye is premium .

So what next? Salah, Firmino and Mane are carrying Van Dijk and Henderson

Amoto94:
He had Rakitic and MSN

Yes immediately Xavi finished carrying Busquet, Rakitic came in and carried him too . So how was Rakitic carrying Busquet?

Debroslink:
Ibime is an orator who has many followers here. Even if he post lies, many will believe him.

The fact that Busquet won the Treble with Xavi being a bench player in the same season already rubbishes any argument that he can't perform without Xavi.

Debroslink:
You are really missing the point. Atletico massive defence covered Rodriguez. Is Barcelona a defensive team? When we were under attack, who covered Busquets? Who had more tackles than Busquets?

First it's was Xavi, then organized press and then football is psychology . Bro ask them about 2014/2015 when we won the Treble with Xavi being a bench player and Barca using a more direct approach under Enrique who was carrying Busquet?

Ibime:
[s] Football is psychology. When teams are used to parking bus against Barca for the last 10 years, they continue to do so in 14/15 until someone showed them you can get at Busquet. Since then he has been everyone's bïtch.

Same thing happened to Fabregas in 2014/15. Everyone was standing off him for the first half of the season until Spurs showed him up in January, then every team started targeting him. Same with Jorginho in his first season until Bournemouth showed everyone he is a target.

Can you show me the recognition Busquet received in 14/15 for his work? [/s]

Who carried Busquet during our 2nd Treble season?

Ibime:
Comot there. Teams were scared of Xavi then and set out to park bus, hardly ever running at Busquet, but when they did, he would escort. As soon as Xavi left, Busquet became useless.

Now teams have changed orientation, they don't just sit back but they press high. Busquet should try escort nonsense against Salah, Mane type players that don't play scared like Malouda and co of those days. Oh I forgot, he did and got embarrassed. Every year he gets embarrassed now from Liverpool to Roma to Bayern to PSG, Busquet is everyone's bïtch

Even those days, when Bayern was putting 7 goals past Barca, Busquet was a well known escort.

No wonder Busquet never won any individual award of note. Busquet should go and give half of his career earnings to Xavi.

And you lied, Busquets was not averaging 100 passes a game then, more like 70s, while Xavi was averaging 90-100.

So the year Barca won the Treble with Xavi being a bench player who was carrying Busquet? Keep the Shalayes short please.

Debroslink:
So who was doing our defensive duties from midfield then? Was it Xavi or Iniesta?

Bro Wait for the Shalayes

Bruno’s deal isn’t up to 80m, not up to 70 self

Who told you? Initial fee of 55million Euros + Add-ons will take the deal to 80million Euros.

Same guy.. He is mentally unable to come up with a line of thought of his own that's why he attaches himself to other peoples opinion..

I kinda feel for him tho

If you are a regular on the Barca thread you would know this is not accurate. Neymar1095 have a vendetta against Messi since his favorite Neymar left Barca and will look for any opportunity to call Messi names. He has been constant on the Barca thread since Neymar left. From a Barca fan to a Messi hater. He find an ally in Melvyn who hates Messi even more that's why anywhere he sees Messi being ridiculed he will always show support and add more fire to it.

Kimbeast:
Out of curiosity when did Neymar play against Rashford and lukaku with Psg?

I don't care about the useless discussion going on but do you actually think Expert17 has sense? His reputation is well known on the United thread as a foolish poster.

I never realized Guardiola was such a sweet passer of the ball. Watch this video and see how he was pinging and playing through balls everywhere with such accuracy

It's been a while England had a balance squad like this . I wish southgate would stop using that 3-4-3 system and move to a standard 4-3-3 formation.


Sterling/Rashford Kane. Sancho/Sterling


Grealish


Henderson/Dier. Rice/Mount



Chilwell. Mag. Gomez. Walker/TAA

There is so much creativity and finishing prowess in that team plus players from the bench in Foden, Greenwood,Etc

England have the squad to be the 2nd Favorites to win the Euros after France.

Something we go dey reach Nigeria already or worst case, it's being shipped currently. By next month, Vendors in Nigeria will have it for sale.

Well let's see

It's just marketing strategy. Sh*t didn't sell out. It's just a way of creating value for the product by means of scarcity.
It's an old trick used by Luxury brands over the years, even apple use it when they are launching a new phone Microsoft is just joining the method.

Something wey full one warehouse in millions of units somewhere, catching dust and ready to be shipped , if it has not already been shipped to various vendors and distributors worldwide.

Sold out kor sold in ni

Playstation will be making nothing less than 80billion yearly. The amount of money in the game industry is mad. Even double of the music and film industry combined.

Kimbeast:
Walmart: Ps5 starts selling 9:00
Walmart : Ps5 sold out at 9:03

Amazon ps5 sold out in 90seconds

Bestbuy.....Out of stock

Target....Out of stock

How can it be in your cart and get sold out

This means before the ps5 will reach Nigeria it will be next year

Neobulletzz:
Football sir

This was their stats last season, Check the number of games they both played, Pulisic didn’t even start all the whole games, Grealish did. Check the minutes played, compare yourself

You have not produced any stats or made any point that showed how Pulisic trumps Grealish.
Did you also factor in the big gap between the teams they played for last season.

Bring stats

Pulisic trumps Grealish in what area exactly?

None of your attacking Midfielders or left winger is better than Grealish.

popizaino:
Let me first deal with this false believe, that he couldn't make the team at barca.

Fabregas during his time at Barcelona made more appearances than either xavi and iniesta and had a better goal and assists than both of them .He left because fans were usually frustrated with his direct style of play and long balls as oppose to their usual tiki taka.


Fabregas created the highest goal scoring chances in Europe at his peak from 2006 -2011 at the period were midfield greats likes xavi,iniesta,Alonso,Gerrard,lampard,scholes,pirlo,kaka,deco,seedorf were having their best time but wasn't the highest assist became arsenal had chamack,Eduardo,vela .

There is nothing magical about ozil passes at Madrid.They were just basic that any body can pull off .eg Guti .infact close to 30% of his total assists came from indirect freekicks and corners.

Fabregas made an average arsenal team look good and formidable making the ucl semi finals a couple of times.


Ozil wasn't a passer by for the NT neither was he the most outstanding player either.

Fabregas scored the winning penalty in Euro 2008 quarter finals against italy to send Spain to the semi finals.

Fabregas came off the bench to assist in 2010 world cup finals

Fabregas despite playing out of position in euro 2012 still put in a decent performance.

Stop sugar coating it. Fabregas was a failure at Barcelona. Stats might say otherwise but we the Barca fans who watched him knows. His style of play was never compatible with Barca and he was lazy as fucccck. He showed consistent 'inconsistencies' with his play and struggled every 2nd half of the season. He wasn't an orchestrator that everyone hoped he would be; he was not disciplined enough position-wise. He was not good in dribbling out of tight spaces like Iniesta/Silva and generally always half-step behind.

BlueAngel444:
yes who would you buy in their prime

O boy na Silva, except Fabregas will sign a non departure agreement

Can you list Fabregas and Silva prime seasons?

Just to clarify the question from kimbeast is who would you buy in their Prime not who had the better career
What is fabregas or Silva prime if I may ask

Kimbeast:
Feel so bad for Brook. He isn't really the same fighter after that Golovkin fight and it wasn't even a solid punch from Crawford. His eyes are fuckkkked up that even a flyweight can knock him down with that condition.

Crawford is P4P best boxer in the world when it comes to beating lame and broken opponents. He's already beaten, a one legged man, a man with a broken chin, and a half blind man. Hopefully he fights a paraplegic next!
