Lol. Worry not bro

I see absolutely no reason why we shouldn't top that group

For goodness sake this is barca we are talking about o
Even smaller teams like tottenham chelsea,arsenal, man u etc will be confident in that group

We have the best player in the world in our ranks
We have the best 9 in the world in suarez ( )
We have one of the best forward in the world in griezmann
Best midfielder in europe in de jong
Even every member of our squad no be beans o

All they need is concentration and the right tactical approach. Even small boys like that 16years old boy and perez fit disturb inter if it were possible for them to play.
Guy we are way ahead of inter and dortmund despite their upgrades

If we don't top the group then so be it. The joke is on valverde and the players. It just doesn't make sense for either of dortmund or inter to top the group ahead of us

Liverpool won UCL, they didn't top their group, Real Madrid won UCL last two years, they didn't top their group. Maybe, its time for us to stop topping group...

When did you start following Barca or when did you start watching laliga, you twerp? The best dm in laliga in 2014/2015 was who?

It's shocking seeing baby soccer fan like you, displaying ignorance so brazenly. You should ask people like byke, who Krychowiak was in laliga.

So you will know, I started watching Barca matches cos of Ronaldinho and I have been a fan since. As for you, so because that dude was best DM in 2014/2015 automatically he is better than Busquets... Please stop quoting me it's looking like your stupidity is getting too much... Go and sleep maybe your foolishness will reduce with rest. Get out or go and play with sand like your mates dolt

Isomerizm:
I always avoid quoting you, but I had to set the records straight. You don't watch Barça's matches. Mummy would punish you. Therefore stop spitting crap about matches you never watched, and stick to your 4 minutes 32 seconds highlights. And don't quote me, unless someone has loaned you sense for the remaining days in August.

It's obvious your uselessness is evidence of a useless mother in your life. Mine is alive and well and when she says I shouldn't go out I won't. Yours is either dead or useless so you think everyone's mother is like your LovePeddler pigshit maggot infested mother. No!! Go die and if you like quote me that your uselessness will end today. Useless fool offspring of a worthless mother...

airmark:
Mumu, I'm not as stupid as you are not to concede that Chelsea are in a more favourable group than Barcelona's this season.

Liverpool were in a tougher group before going to clinch the trophy unlike Barca last season. If you like type 1000 words , every sane person knows that as a fact.

Morrons like you wouldn't know why pundits call some groups, Group of death, even if they type it in red colour.

Typing nonsense up and down with confidence, is your thing.

Says the dude that said Krychioak or whatever was his name was better than Busquets... Your stupidity is glaring across this thread. Continue displaying your foolishness and stupidity.

Wayne4uall:
I. Complained about our squad in the first leg we only won with luck.. The second leg I predicted liverpool to win us and it happened

He should had used 4-4-1-1 in the second leg.. Starting Arthur Busquets Rakitic vidal in the midfield... Vidal to do the dirty job. Arthur to slow down the match tempo and Rakitic to help Busquet. It could have been better

You have a point but in the 1st leg, Ter Stegen did very well, and in the second leg, Allison did very well too. There were too many vulnerablities in that team, we were creating but we weren't scoring. It was sad sha
4 4 1 1, fans don't like it because it is often defense oriented but it might have served a purpose that night. People feel that 4 3 3 is the best formation but it always isn't. Mourinho conquered England with 4 2 3 1, Conte conquered England with 3 4 3, Zidane conquered Europe with 4 4 2 diamond which is different from the 4 4 2 that Leicester City used in winning league, Man City's 4 3 3 they used in winning league is different from the 4 3 3 that Liverpool used in winning the league which is also different from the 4 3 3 that Chelsea used in winning Europa league. However Barca, fans and board keep thinking that 4 3 3 is Barca's formation so when we use any other formation, they start complaining. Oh well, we never know what might have been...

Isomerizm:
If you weren't blinded by Valvershit's cùm last season, you'd have seen that guys complained about our performance. About how the team couldn't do shît when Messi didn't step up. How they actually played better than us, and our winning privilege was just Messi. If your head wasn't stuck far up Valvershit's aśs you'd have seen these complaints.

If I were to list the biggest fools on this thread, I would list you thrice. Go and carry your useless self somewhere else. And stop quoting me, I have not blown yet, stop being an ant to my sugar. Take your gay ass somewhere else

airmark:
What quality teams did you play before collecting from Liverpool? Your defence is not better than Watford's.

Guy stop typing rubbish, a team in Champions league is a team in champions league, Tottenham was in our group and they ended up as finalists, and Real Madrid and Juventus were knocked out by small Ajax, so your reasoning is rubbish (like it has always been).
Your Chelsea, have you seen the teams in the same group as they are? They also don't have quality too abi?

Wayne4uall:
I am sure bro... We had a better team dan liverpool last season of not for a bad coach

How come none of you complained all these things after the 1st leg we won by 3 goals at Nou camp? We won one leg, they won the other leg and automatically their coach is better? Mehn y'all funny on this thread

ClintonNzedimma:
My comment is getting likes on brfootball instagram because it’s the truth

Imagine in the best defenders for Europe, not one Barca player yet in UCL we were the least conceding side and in LA Liga we were the either 3rd or 4th least conceding side...

ClintonNzedimma:
I swear. E go be like Bayern of 2015,

We whooped them 1st leg, they won 2nd leg... I swear if we jam them again Van Dijk and Allison go hear am and I would like them to be at full strength during both legs too

We go still qualify sha... The problem is I want to jam that Liverpool again

After watching Godzilla King of monsters, Kong can't beat him o. The only way Kong will triumph is by plot power. The innate ability of script writers over the power beings they create. But the movie was fun and king Ghidora was an interesting bad monster. But Godzilla is far more power than Kong.
7.5/10

TLona1:
And why was that?

According to Guardiola the style of play he wanted to play in Barca, Toure wasn't suitable for it, he preferred Busquets, then according to Toure, Guardiola wasn't speaking regularly with and according to Guardiola, Toure asked to leave but certainly, if Guardiola wanted Toure, Toure would have stayed. Besides think about it, as at January 2010, between Toure and Busquests, who would you have preferred?

TLona1:
It's not easy to play with Xavi and Iniesta. Go and ask Yaya Toure who bossed the EPL after Busquets benched him in Barca.

If Guardiola really wanted Toure to play, Toure would have played. Guardiola didn't want Toure, Guardiola preferred Busquets. Even the Keita that stayed, Toure was better than him

Sommyroy10:
That is Valverde at Barcelona and Guardiola at Man city. Guardiola at barcelona has above 72+% win with more than twice the matches Valverde has managed at Barcelona. So what are you on about?
I was correcting 'he just lost only 5 matches'. Dig deeper and you had see Valverde hasnt been too impressive as you portray him to be. Good morning.

Alright.
Good morning

NoFap123:
E pain you yet you defend the man at the helm of affairs, Bobo you better wise up. EV is not the Moses to take us to the promise Land.With EV in this team, I have zero expectations, I can't come and suffer another heartbreak.

The man didn't even kick a ball, Messi missed chances, so did Suarez... Please since when did it become a coach's duty to score goals too? The best teams create chances and take their chances, that day against Liverpool, we created chances but we didn't take them. Please how is that Valverde's fault? Allisson was among Liverpool's best players, our defense was all over the place especially the left wing(I'll blame coach sha) but our inability to take our chances was purely our doing.
That's why I was advocating for the signing of Griezman, a finisher that could help us not uncle Suarez

Sommyroy10:
Valverde has lost 13 matches in 121 games with a win percentage of 67.77. Guardiola has lost 23 matches in 178 games with a win percentage of 73.0. Be guided.

Now you are factoring in all their career efforts, why not use just Barcelona, one stayed for 4 years and the other has stayed for 2 years + please do the maths

NoFap123:
Seriously?
Countless number of times you said so indirectly though.
Remember the Mama excuse?
Remember the livescore?
No let us go down memory lane o

Dude you want to take this thing personal. If Valverde being employed by Barca is paining you so much, go and kill yourself because the Board is not sacking him any time soon his contract is season long so better get used to it . And if you can't get that into your head, you can go jump off a cliff.

Don't jump off a cliff o, you na my guy. But this thing is not fight. Valverde is no Guardiola but he is here till July next year so let's just relax

It's all over Instagram, Neymar our prodigal injury prone son is back...
Mtchw it's still negotiations ongoing...

veekid:
If you're using Xiaomi products and you're not on this thread, mehn you're on a long thing ooooo. Imagine I just read somewhere here that changing region to morroco would force an update. I did and it popped immediately. Mehn, this thread is underrated!

My brother the things I see, sharp sharp update showed up

BroadStreetBull:
Bolded, is Valverde's legacy captured in 2 sentences only.

We had the chance to make history with an unbeaten season but EV in his infinite wisdom opted to rest Messi in an away fixture.

Lost a good lead to Roma the season before. The next season we had 7 more days to rest than Liverpool. Salah and Firmino did not play. And we lost 4 - 0.

If that was not the biggest capitulation in European football history then what is?
At least in PSG's 6-1 loss there was a controversial penalty decisions for PSG to hide behind.
Ours was 4 zero black and blue!

I got into the office the next morning putting up a brave and defiant expression before my bants-loaded and grinning colleagues, but so embarrassed and humbled deep inside.

Liverpool versus Barca was my most scandalous and embarassing football match ever.

I haven't seen or heard about any top European coach who has survived what EV has survived.

That match pained me sha, and I was so hopeful that we would score just one goal to cross Liverpool and the annoying thing is that we had chances to score, numerous chances to score but we didn't. Oh well its in the past to look forward and see what the future holds

True??

philtea:
Like seriously?
Some people still support valverde?
Have this for e.g

Take a look at the totteham team. Look at what pocchetino achieved with that team (Took them to a champions league final and a premier league top 4). Now give that team to Mr. Valverde and see where that would end up.
Now give this barca team to Pep in Bayern, or Kloop, or Pocchetino and see the wonders they would perform magic with them and some people still support valverde chai
how many of barca fans are still optimistic of winning the champions league this season
Be truthful to yourself, Valverde should be SACKED

i hope with this few points of my I hope I have brain feed but not brain wash all legit barca fans that VALVERDE SHOULD BE SACKED

Guardiola has lost 12 matches since he joined Man City, Klopp has lost 20 and Pocchetinno has lost 60 matches (with and without Tottenham) but Valverde has lost 5... Go figure.
.
Valverde will leave by the end of the season, so you can relax but for him being sacked well hashish is getting involved.

wman:
I am a Chelsea fan and I have this to say.

I don't believe any Barcelona fan in his right senses will still be supporting Valverde.

The 3-0 to Roma was unforgivable, but the 4-0 loss to Liverpool? Never!
He benched Messi in a penultimate match that could have led to an historic unbeaten run. That is unforgivable.

Ancelotti won the UCL for Madrid for the first time in years but was sacked the following year even though he made it to the Semis. Mourinho took Madrid to 3 consecutive semis and won the league with a record number of points, yet he was sacked. Conte won the FA Cup after winning the league for Chelsea and he was still sacked.


Guardiola said his time at Bayern Munich was not a success since he couldn't replicate their Champions League exploits. This season he is focused on the Champions League much more than any other trophy. He coaches Man City.

How much more a team like Barcelona? Should Cules be contented with the Copa Del Rey and La Liga year in year out?

What is Valverde tactics? How has he fared in the matches he played without Messi? Haven't we seen how Messi saved his skinny ass so many times?

I don't think this IKON guy has really watched many of Valverde games.

Typical Chelsea fan's post, please before citing examples go and read up on why they were sacked. Ancelotti was sacked for refusal to rotate his team and not playing Bale at 9 where he preferred Benzema.
Mourinho was sacked because he fell out with some of the senior players in Madrid's team.
Conte's Chelsea were not even in the top four when he was sacked.
Guardiola didn't win UCL with Bayern did any fan call for him to be sacked? He hasn't won UCL with Man City, has any City fan called for him to be sacked?! Abeg go and do your research before you post your 'views'

Gentlewarrior1:
That Ikon guy has said it countless times that he doesn't watch much matches

I see no reason why anyone should be defending valverde.

Kindly quote the post of me saying I don't watch much Barca matches

Creatrixity:
I agree. Before Kim and co scattered his brain, no one in his right senses will bench Kanye when fit

Dude pity me na

NoFap123:
3 La Liga and 2 UCL.
Pretty excellent for someone who spent 4 seasons. Now tell me how many UCL and La Liga EV has won for us 2+ years?
P.S: Pep won an intimidating 14 trophies under 4 years. Abegi

So you see, he didn't win 4 La Liga and 4 UCL and despite how good he is, his feats at Barca haven't been matched elsewhere...
Your theory that any coach can coach Barca is dangerously wrong, don't ever reason like that again.
As for your dislike of Valverde, it's no problem but when criticizing be subjective, and stop thinking like a confused Nigerian Chelsea fan

NoFap123:
It looks like the bond between you and EV if synonymous to the bond between EV and Ivan. You know I always believed any tom, dick and Harry can coach Barca to glory with Messi on the side. Some of these players don't need a coach instruction, they are pro and know what to do when situation demands. I held tight to this believe until EV came and proved me wrong, not once be but freaking f"ucking twice.
EV is a serial bottler and should get the hell out. He is tactically inept, can't read games, he just squats like a confused fellow and pretends to be thinking. I would prefer a Pochettino or a Klopp coaching us than Ernesto, he should get out!

Really sad... Well whether you like it or not, Valverde isn't leaving until end of season. And for your reasoning that any coach can coach Barcelona, under Guardiola, the best Barca coach in the 21st century how many UCL or La Liga trophies did he win?

NoFap123:
Bro, park well jor. We gave Eve second chance after the Roma bottling and what did he do?, he did a double bottling. We are no longer the most envied in the world again, our fear factor is gone, no wonder team can attack us with intent to win, something that rarely happened before.
Lastly, saying we lost just 5 matches makes we wonder what kind of a fan are you. Those matches defined our season, they are what the parents rule refers to the 20% that brings about the 80% success. Those matches are the vital few. Would you praise a child who failed English and Mathematics in WAEC but had straight A's in other subjects?
I await your response

Losing last weekend defined our season? Losing to Levante two seasons ago defined our season? The only losses that you can even point out are Roma and Liverpool, because its UCL and the Copa Del Rey final that 90% of fans didn't even care about...
And you are no "we" the board and the team are very happy with him, it's just some confused fans that are hating, when man does well they disappear but when we lose they dive out with guns blazing. Such stupidity, stupidity associated with Chelsea and Man utd fans, but now glaring among Barca fans. Barca fans especially those that started fanning during the Messi era are the major culprits know nothing about club history nor club organization but will throw everything on Valverde. Some fools even blamed him for selling Alcacer, some blame him that Coutinho wasn't playing well, some blamed him that Dembele was so off or that Semedo didn't have end product yen yen yen...
If you want to critique criticise properly and objectively like a true fan not like a Chelsea fan that likes Messi

Isomerizm:
Ikon360 or whatever your name is, those outrageous losses aren't normal. Especially for a team like Barça. Don't start again with your stüpid aśs defence of Valverde.

Outrageous losses are spiritual abi? When teams with better coaches lost its normal but when Barcelona loses it is outrageous. Valverde will lose matches, you will always have the opportunity to criticise and hope he will die so you are free continue, whether I defend him or not you will do what you want. But criticise like someone who was breastfed for 6 months

MJBOLT:

IKON360 is here again this season with his valverde wa.nk

Your name is MJdolt so I'm not surprised

NoFap123:
Me and you go fight oh. You mentioned Pep, Pochettino and even Klopp but you forget these men brought value to their clubs, they might not be winning trophies but their improvement is glaring to the blind.
Now, what has EV added to the team since he took charge?
Let's not even talk about his tactical cluelessness.
I await your reply.

You already hate man so much, you forget to realise since he took over 3 years ago, we have lost only 5 matches, FIVE fucking matches. You think that's an easy feat for a "clueless" coach?

I am not defending him but your wish that we lost a plethora of matches so he can be sacked is disgusting. That's not how a reasonable fan should think and considering we support Barcelona the most envied club in the world, the fans should support their own not wishing we lost because we don't like the coach tufia
