How can you slow down the tempo while being 3 goals down away from home. Liverpool had all the momentum and it was the most stupid substitution a coach could ever make

Using the excuse of benching Coutinho has no meaning. He was equally terrible in that game and when a player is playing poorly, you remove him irrespective of what the board thinks of not.

We had the perfect team at anfield.We contained the game perfectly at half time even missed a couple of chances. But Alba was our weak point and his error gave out the first goal.He played poorly in the first half of that game.In fact I told my friend that this was the first time I was seeing Alba play this bad since I started watching him They attacked through Mane in the first half which Vidal and I think Semedo did a perfect job in containing.

Klopp saw this error in our team and then directed every attack to Alba's position in the 2nd half. Vidal was playing excently and I expected him to play in that position instead he was confined in a position Liverpool was not attacking from. What was the need of having him in that game if he was not doing the dirty jobs

I thought the Roma game was bad until I saw that Liverpool game. The bad thing about it was that Liverpool was missing Salah and didn't even give us a comeback game. They simply attacked and won us all because we have a useless coach that I don't know what he's still doing at this club

My brother its painful and it's in the past. Hopefully this rubbish won't happen again. Hopefully

Adiwana:
Vidal was arguably our best player at anfield and any coach with a half atom of sense would've removed Coutinho and blocked that attacking lane with Vidal and we would've simply won that game

We were so bad in the 2nd half that everybody forgets we were actually very good in the first. Kloop simply saw Alba was having a bad night and decided to flood his position in the 2nd half. Adjust to that by playing Vidal to cover Alba and Liverpool won't have any other attacking root. Instead he removed him instead of removing Suarez and putting Arthur to choke that midfield

This is simple textbook coaching.This is what Mourinho would've done.Simply apply same technique we did against Madrid by bringing in Vidal to totally nullify Vinicus who was having a field day against Semedo and Madrid didn't have any way of attacking us.That match still Dey pain me as our errors were so glaring and coach couldn't control his team

Arthur was brought in to slow the tempo of the match and Coutinho is only removed for Dembele, that one looks like board instruction (even at Bayern, Coutinho is never benched even though Thiago can play that wing well). If we had this team against Liverpool at least Griezman won't leave Alba isolated time and time again.
And do you know why Barca fans hated Valverde at first, negative football which he used in his first season and that's why Man utd fans started hating Mourinho. Now you are advocating for it. Just forget the match, it pains us all because we were so close, so so close.

Yen yen, baba na one season wonder.

Man be serious and stop trolling. You don't like Salah

simiife:
U neva grab my point, dey said van dijk did everything,meaning dey could do without Alison, but can't do without van dike,

Compare d number of clean sheet dey have nw to wat dey had at dis tym last season, if nt for dia blazing attack, where will dey b on d EPL table?

If Allisson comes back and Van Dijk goes on injury, they may still be conceding all those goals. Defence is partnership not always talent, that's why Liverpool's defense last season was good, everyone that played with Van Dijk seemed to do so well from Lovren to Matip to Gomez. It wasn't just Van Dijk even Allisson, Taa and Robertson. But Van Dijk was the crucial member, he brought everone together. Then he and Allisson had a stellar understanding. That's why when Allisson was around, Van Dijk didn't full on mark players, he runs back at an angle allowing Allisson to cover the other side. This keeper isn't Allisson, and he may not trust him or he may not trust Van Dijk. That's why Van Dijk marks more. Watch whenever Allisson returns and Fabinho starts, Van Dijk will not run to mark anybody.

tesppidd:
The only player who came out of that Liverpool humiliation with a pass was Vidal.

In addition to numerous good performances he's had for us, this guy leaves blood, sweat, and tears on the turf.

But you still hear some of our guys here say stuff like;

"he's not barca material"
"he doesn't have barca DNA"
"he doesn't play the barca way"

I mean WTF!

Leave people who don't know anything about football, I said on this thread, there is a reason even Guardiola never benched Vidal when he is fit... Arthur, FDJ and Busquests may have the class and suave movements needed in Barca but that grit and mad determination to win the ball and always always make a difference, no player in our midfield has it like Vidal. Even aerial balls with players taller than him he will contest, if you like dribble him 9 times, he will still mark you. The guy is good jor. Still expect some clueless Barca fan to come and say he is wrestler. The guy is gold and at least Valverde knows how to use and keep him motivated

calculator123:
VVD just like Salah Is fast becoming a one season wonder. If not for racism sake, Mane should be rated higher than Salah and VVD, only behind Allison.

Uncle no fall our hands abeg, Salah is not a one season wonder, he has won EPL golden Boot twice, one UCL, African Player of the year twice and numerous other accolades. We Barca fans don't talk any how

ucsquare:
Baba call a stove a stove and stop comparing it to a gas..The dembele i watched today played complete nonsense with lots of misplaced passes that wasn't utilised by inter.. The guy was a flop..

Better keep on thanking Suarez for those perfectly taken goals..

Thursday night FC, please don't join teams in UCL to talk, go and sleep your match is tomorrow, Dembele is playing rubbish in UCL, where is your Martial and Rashford playing their own world class football??

Small small progress is being made... Well Suarez continues being Suarez, one day he frustrates the living hell out of you and the next he makes it clear to the world that he is world class. Oh well.
My main problem is, why do we keep conceding goals in the first 15 minutes of matches, this rubbish has gone on for too long. And the defense pairing of Pique and Lenglet needs rest, it's just that Umtiti has turned to glass leg kid, now of all our defenders our two left backs are injured and one senior Centre back also injured. Plus Fati and half fit Dembele and Messi. Well at least we won the match and Suarez scored another brace maybe he wants to take the scoring burden off Messi lol

It's really unfortunate that Trent Arnold was not in FIFpro 11, that guy is damn good

Kaycee7:
Two Towers remains my best movie out of the trilogy. Epic lines all through. I mean, yeah, the whole trilogy had epic dialogues and monologues all through, but the ones in Two Towers were so on point.

Elrond: If Aragorn survives this war, you will still be parted. If Sauron is defeated and Aragorn made king and all that you hope for comes true you will still have to taste the bitterness of mortality. Whether by the sword or the slow decay of time, Aragorn will die. And there will be no comfort for you, no comfort to ease the pain of his passing. He will come to death an image of the splendor of the kings of Men in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world. But you, my daughter, you will linger on in darkness and in doubt as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Here you will dwell bound to your grief under the fading trees until all the world is changed and the long years of your life are utterly spent.

I liked Two Towers more than Fellowship of the Ring, its a real story with themes I can relate to. Without all the CGI and explosions, LOTR is a legendary movie. I'll part 3 today, let me download my subtitles

Chrisus:
I serve a living God and He will judge Valverde for what he did to Coutinho.

Oga the wing Coutinho is playing in Bayern, he could never have played it Barca because of the board's romance with 4 3 3. Just be happy he is thriving and he is playing well

hustleranthem:
The guy hasn't been the same after that Liverpool game..We need a leftback that can defend and attack at the same time. Hopefully, Firpo can finally take his spot.

Lol well I don't share this view sha, besides he is injured and Firpo is already playing and so far Firpo isn't so bad

toluxe0075:
Don't set your expectations way too high for hobbits. It was below par compared to Lord of the rings. Peter Jackson had little time to prepare for hobbit after GUILLERMO DEL TORO decided not to direct it. I would have love to see Toro's direction to the hobbit.

Unfortunately, we never will but I think Peter Jackson did a stellar job with LOTR

ornicus:
The hobbit is a 100 page book. I expected the first movie to be the only movie. The filler in the hobbit movies is cray. The five armies movie is less than 2 pages in the book.

Personally all I enjoyed in the five armies was the fight with smaug. Which was all of 10 minutes. The producers must have thought the same since the posters had what's his name facing down smaug

I Wil still watch it, I don't think there is anyone who watched and enjoyed LOTR that has not seen Hobbit. It's only people like me that have not seen Lord of the Rings that have not seen Hobbit

hustleranthem:
Nothing but the truth bro. I am happy Messi hasn't been playing recently because we need to start building a team for the future. Suarez really needs to accept the sub role and griezmann should be the top 9 flanked by Fati and dembele. As for busquets, pique and Alba...I don tire for those ones. We just need to start building a new team .

What's wrong with Alba? He was one of our best players last season

That's why, as far as Play store is concerned, your phone can't play Asphalt 9

Itzneowizy:
You're just seeing LOTR too?? ....your list is gold nonetheless

I am, it's not my fault sha. Thanks by the way.
Lord of the rings Two Towers, 8/10. No wonder so many people loved the movies. When I'm done with Return of the King, I'll watch the Hobbits

So I just saw Lord of the Rings 1, it's a mighty nice movie and I see why Peter Jackson won an Oscar for it. The movie was quite cool... I'd give it a 7 or 8 out of 10. Cos the directing was dope.

Pirates of Caribbean Curse of Black Pearl 8/10
Pirates of Caribbean Dead man's Chest 7/10
Pirates of Caribbean at World's end 6/10(I'd give it a 5 but its among the most expensive movies ever made so...)
Pirates of Caribbean on Stranger Tides 9/10 my best Pirates of Caribbean movie so far.
.
So later I'd watch Lord of the Rings 2 and 3 and Pirates of Caribbean 4 I'd drop my ratings too
.
The Hustle 7/10 there were some legit punch lines in that movie eg, if her tits were batteries they would be in a watch. Shit!!

is this playstore? my own playstore no dey show asphalt

Which phone do you use?

And I was reading from left to right

No try am o, it's right to left. That's the mistake I made when reading Naruto Manga that year. Same thing virtually all pictorial stories from Asia, right left except from English speaking societies

Is Xiaomi Nigeria doing any thing to celebrate this Independence day that isn't worth celebrating?

okikiosibodu:
But we've got to give it up to the personality behind the moniker. Despite the harsh words, he hardly let's it get at him. Usually, people cast the first stone at him, yet he doesnt reciprocate in same manner. I put it to you.... Many of those that used harsh words at him like " fool" (whether his actions deserve it or not) can't take half the sh*t they throw at him. Some people correct him with love, some others don't. Some only comment to yab him, they don't make constructive contributions to the thread but if it to throw a stone at him frm a very serene angle, they won't let the opportunity pass by. Imagine if the said personality can be guided to the right path, he will be of positive acquisition to this thread, and knowledge in general, just as we already have some terrific personalities on this thread.
I do not know him, but I respect him for the thick armour he has developed over time. The way some of us here correct him, makes it hard for someone in his shoes to be open to learning.
Bottom line.... Let us learn to correct with love. If there is one thing I have learnt, let us not be quick to attack people especially on online foroums

I hope my "story" no too long

You have a valid point, Mr Kngzezy or whatever his name is, has so far not insulted anybody nor used any harsh words while those addressing him most just insult him. That someone has a different opinion from you does not make him an attention seeker. Which is what so many people have termed him. Some just commented that he is an attention seeker yet they that are not attention seekers are contributing nothing to the advancement of this thread or the general knowledge of the people. It's really unfortunate. Everything is not fight

Mark23:
Tanjiro was like 13 at the beginning. 13 years would be relatively recent considering the fact that the corps has existed for over a hundred years. And it is not a spoiler. It should be obvious at this point in the anime.
Their master let Tanjiro know that he knew about Tamayo, a demon that doesn't attack humans (something the others clearly hadn't encountered before), he would have definitely known if Tanjiro's dad was a slayer, so why wouldn't he have told Tanjiro about it.
Hell, even the reaction of the hashiras when they learnt that someone (Tanjiro) had met Muzan. You notice how they asked "what did he look like?" "What are his abilities?". They even stated that no hashira has ever come in contact with him. So you're saying Tanjiro's dad was a slayer that managed to corner Muzan by himself without being a hashira? Or maybe he met Muzan and didn't share information on him with the other slayers?

They don't need to explicitly tell you that that person wasn't Tanjiro's dad. So many things won't make sense if it was.

But believe what you want to believe sha, no problem.

What's the difference between flame and fire breathing?

Nova15:
I don't think he's scared of what he is now, he's scared of what he'll become.

Well I found what Naruto became, I will also find out what Tanjiro will become

Kaycee7:
Muzan remembers a demon slayer with hanafuda earrings. Emphasis on demon slayer. The hanafuda earrings have been passed down the Kamado family from generation to generation. Safe to say the family comes from a long line of demon slayers. A line so long they had their own patented breathing technique.

The fire breathing or the water breathing?

Mark23:
Upper 6 not 5.

Thank you

nani667:
My point is Kibuzuji Muzan is aware that Hashiras can show up at anytime, so even though Tanjiro isn't strong enough to defeat the Lower Kizuki, the appearance of one Hashira means total Wipeout for the Kizuki, which was why Kibuzuji was pissed with the Lower Kizuki and decided to do away with them, cos they kept getting wiped out by Hashiras and were always replaced... All this into consideration, if Kibuzuji really wanted Tanjiro dead desperately, sending a Higher Kizuki would have been what he would have done, as those would be able to handle Hashiras if they showed up to save Tanjiro ✔️

Or maybe Kibutschi is so proud of his upper 6 he doesn't want them to be involved with the squabbles of the lower five and Hashiras and only sends them as a last resort

Nova15:
I think you're under estimating the Hashiras. Did you see the way Tomioka took out Rui? Rui didn't even see him coming and Rui is one of the long serving lower five.

Yet the upper 5 have remained unchanged for 100 years according to Kibutschi, the Hashiras may be strong but the upper 5 are stronger one vs one unless the Hashiras fight in group, Zenitsu's master and Tanjiro's master are both retired Hashiras yet I don't think they so dope as to be powerful enough to scare Kibutschi... Kibutschi isn't even afraid of the head of the demon slayers corps but he is scared or bothered cos of a kid with earrings

Nova15:
I think he had an encounter with a demon slayer with hanafuda like earrings before, probably Tanjiro ancestor or something.

He had a flashblack in one of the older episodes where he was almost killed by this hanafuda earring demon slayer. Maybe he's seeing Tanjiro with his hanafuda earring as a likely threat too.

Well considering how he dispatched the lower five yesterday and how strong the upper 5 might be, I don't think he has anything to fear except plot armour. Because on this form the current Hashira need to all fight him to stand a chance

CapedBaldy:
that last lower kizuki reminds me of furata from Tokyo ghoul

That demon will cause so much trouble, it seems the lower 5 that Imoika killed is the longest serving of the lower five. I wonder how powerful the upper five will be and why is Kibutschi so adamant about killing Tanjiro? He/she is afraid of Tanjiro but I can't figure out why

Female muzan is kinda fine tho

Something is wrong with you
