Valverde also will rather give Coutinho 1000 chances to somehow magically proove he's a Barca Player when clearly he's out of sorts and form. A more refined and attack minded coach wouldn't start Phil at all, he would have started Malcom(since dembele isn't fit) and Semedo on that left side

abeg which other left does Coutinho play that Semedo and Malcolm should replace him? You are having cramps over your own post

FergieRaww:
Correct me if i’m wrong but i think Enrique won a treble in his first season with barka

he had the deadliest striking trio in European football history. Zidane that won UCL every season he was at Madrid, did he have two heads Guardiola that won 7 out of 7 nkor?

After Watching the game against Bilbao again, its clear Valverde isn't the way forward. he would rather die than substitute Suarez, Someone here said Boateng is a back up..What the hell does a back up mean if its not to play in place of the misfiring "first choice"..You signed Boateng, then play him..He cant be any worse than Suarez really.

Valverde also will rather give Coutinho 1000 chances to somehow magically proove he's a Barca Player when clearly he's out of sorts and form. A more refined and attack minded coach wouldn't start Phil at all, he would have started Malcom(since dembele isn't fit) and Semedo on that left side.. At least there'll be serious threat coming from the left. it took Forever for EV to make subs.

Messi will get too crowded in the middle because the midfield is trash.. The middle zone is Messi's zone but he can't do anything if he doesn't have players, technically gifted players to play with. Teams know all they need to do is to crowd Messi out in the middle, one player bodies him while another gets the ball..Repeat over and over and the same thing will happen.

Also Alba is our 2nd most important player this season..Extremely important..second only to Messi really.. He hasn't played 8 matches this season and we only won 2 of those games (both against cultural leonesa)...It's a shame we don't have a credible replacement nor has his contract been renewed.This isn't the Barcelona i fell in love with.

If any fan here believes we will still win the Champions league with Suarez as our No 9 then that's the fan in you believing and most times fan's wishes are entirely different from reality.

THIS MUST BE EV'S LAST SEASON IN MY CLUB FFS!!!

some fans are amusing o, you included. Please the best playing Barca team were knocked out by Mourinho's Inter Milan in 2010, so what's your excuse now?

The reason Coutinho keeps starting is because there is no one else to play that wing, Malcolm can't cross from the left wing, all his football is cut in from the right, but he can't play there because that's Messi's wing, Messi entering the middle is to create overloads through the middle and with his passing range he is better in the middle or from his wing.

Imagine talk, play Semedo as a left winger, what kind of football do you watch man?
Do you know that more space is on the wings with less people to dribble from there yet Messi chooses to operate often from the middle behind the other two forwards, he is also effective from there too. Even if it was Valverde that told them to sometimes play in some sort of 3 5 3 formation with the central midfielders in a diamond beside Messi who is behind the two forwards, una go complain.
"Our midfield is wack" guy!! When we were winning matches on the trot with these same midfielders, you disappeared. Arthur is injured, Rakitic, Vidal and Busquets are all above 30, Alena is still green but we have been winning and dominating matches with these same midfielders now we drew 3 matches piam, "our midfield is wack"
This criticism started just because we drew 3 matches, if we win y'all haters will disappear, if we draw or lose you will all reappear and be shouting "Valverde go!" that's sad.

patrickmuf:
Veratti will play, the big miss for them will be Meuneir and Neymar as Cavani is very wasteful. Some folds might even argue that they rather have Neymar play and Mbappe out injured and I share same line ohf thought, Neymar can be unserious with his unnecessary showboating but Mbappe is a killer, he is their main threat even with Neymar on the field of play.

actually Neymar showboats when his team are either winning or have nothing to lose, there is no sensible football fan that should ever believe that Mbappe is a better option than Neymar for all his dribbling and stuff he still is a very good passer and scores goals too.

Cavani, wasteful or not is a very good striker despite the number of chances he misses he still keeps getting chances to score telling you that despite his age, he still has very fantastic off the ball movement. I think Man utd should try counter attacks, PSG will definitely dominate possession, but this match will be decided on counters and Man utd under this coach is structure made for deadly counter attacks, and when things get tough, in comes Lukaku for cross and nod. Una suppose win this match o

Joyless:
at the end of the day, we're saying same thing In different ways

during Luis Enrique's time as coach ,u saw how he rotated his players made sure everyone had playing time wasn't afraid to try out new things


same can be said of pep ,who brought in la masia players ,sent out some big names who were playing pretty well by the way but just didn't suit his style............the rest is history




...,.......admit it bro valverde haven't got it in him, those games we won were results of the brilliance of Lionel Messi nd occasionally one or two other players .Not to take anything away from him though, his style doesn't suit Barcelona fc





if he continues like this all I can see is ROMA V2 loading. .
I rest my case

Guardiola never coached mid table teams, he always coached super powers. Enrique only won CL his first season, league next season and his final season he only won Copy del Rey, what Enrique had his final season was more than Valverde had his 1st season, yet Valverde won the league and Copa del Rey. Saying Messi is the reason we win matches is a huge insult, the matches we lost in the league, Messi played all.
Now you've mentioned rotation, I assure you that you can't mention Barcelona's rotation, the reason we fared badly against Sevilla was because coachie rotated, if he rotates you people will complain, if he doesn't you people will still complain. It doesn't make sense critising what isn't understood. If Valverde goes on to win UCL this season you people will still critise him. Is it his fault, Suarez has the best "understanding" with Messi? Is it his fault Coutinho is playing so badly? Is it his fault Umtiti, Dembele, Rafinha and Arthur are all injured? Is it his fault that Vidal is so erratic? There are things a coach can't control. For all of Guardiola's sense as a coach, he won UCL with just Barca yet he dominated Germany and is dominating England but he won UCL with just Barca, why Messi. Its not Valverde's fault that when Messi is injured or unfit, it affects the morale of the whole team. Abeg let off Valverde, maybe next season we will be able to complain like Man utd fans did with Mourinho but just know that Valverde is getting it right.

valverde matter tire me........................

he's too rigid to be a good coach, too scared to bench names nd play those in form instead..........................
sometimes I wonder why he bought Malcolm nd boateng or why have substitutes on the beach if u re nt gonna use em ,. e for just carry o only 11 players go pitch so nobody go dey xpct sub..............if time nor reach 70+ min, baba nor dey gree do sub

firstly, in Barca the coach isn't in charge of transfers, he has mainly fleeting suggestions. That is why Andre Gomes was bought or someone like Malcolm.

Secondly, possession based teams don't make reactionary subs, teams like Barca, PSG, Man city etc don't just make subs why? The game plan is already established and as such subs are either to change tactics or to rest players.

Thirdly, you don't know a team more than its coach, you don't know what he looks out for in training sessions, you don't know the instructions his superiors have given him, you don't know the contractual stipulations he has to adhere, and so many other things. So don't dive to critise besides when we were on a winning streak I didn't see all this your plenty talk, now we draw 3 matches you dive out. Carry on

dasphinx1:
Even S7 edge screen replacement is 80k. The thing is them screens actually houses the connectors for the various components of the phones. So, i am not surprised about the Note 8 screen price.

mehn no be here o. Well some people are careful with their phones so they won't bother with this but 180k for screen is bizarre

hustleranthem:
coutinho case is serious because the whole team are supporting him too. He is really favored and they all want him to succeed. But sometimes you have to motivate yourself by yourself..I wonder when valverde will give boating his la liga debut abi d guy come chill for bench till June? I no understand valverde at all

the man prefers Suarez and Messi up front, and that has worked for him the most so he trusts their combo more than Boateng with any other person. And like they said, Boateng is back up striker so that is it.

On Coutinho, he did very well at least till that injury and he is an adult, a professional and he is well behaved too. So its hard to have issues with him and the problem isn't the coach nor the system nor the formation, the problem is him and he doesn't look like he is doing anything to remedy the situation. Sha I hope he steps up and gets better we need all hands on deck if we are to win the double or the triple.

I like how you people now have hope, its a good thing. Without Neymar, Cavani, Verrati and Meunier una suppose win this match. PSG lost in the UCL last season without Neymar same can happen again. Hopefully.

I think the display is the most expensive part of those Sammy phones, if I ever buy a high end Samsung phone, na burglary proof I go use, amoured case and tempered glass won't even be enough..

that is eh... The thing is baffling, with 130k I can get mi max 3 or poco f1 or so many phones, that is the price to fix just screen of phone.
If I'm dating a girl and I use maybe note 9 and one day the phone falls from her hand and the screen cracks, na the end o. That girl maybe an agent of Satan.

hustleranthem:
la masia is a shadow of itself. Pedro was the last good product of la masia so let's just hope something good comes out of it soon. I am glad you confirmed Jovic. If he comes to Barca, I know he is going to improve his game in all aspects. And him shooting with both feet is a bonus. Honestly I feel we should get rid of coutinho. That guy is a stumbling block and a distraction to the team.

actually the last good products were Roberto and Thiago but Alena is doing well too. But even one good forward can't remain in the team na wa o.

Jovic isn't big sha and uses space to be effective and as such may struggle with possession based system like Dembele earlier did. But with dedication and guidance I think he will get very good.

On Coutinho I wish there was way for Valverde to motivate him like Sloksjaer is doing for Lukaku and Sanchez but Coutinho right now is in zone nobody should ever be in.

they should just burn down la masia at once. I watched Jovic's video, the guy is quite, shoots with both feet, can press, intuitve with the ball etc. So they want to tell me that no player in La Masia can fit that bill? What are players being taught in La Masia? BTW, Jovic is a good buy, a very good buy I just hope he doesn't cost more than 50m

Reddington:
Lol. Was anyone even arguing that? No disrespect, but when compared to Samsung, Xiaomi are still learning the trade in the display department . Sammy spends a lot time and resources to develop their screen. Their closest rival is Apple (with their crisp Retina display). Note 8 uses QHD+ Super AMOLED screen (521 ppi). So I'm surprised you're "still in shock"

my shock wasn't the display quality but the cost of replacing the screen. 130k, that is not small money for screen na

good evening, in class today I beheld another note 8, abeg make we no disturb ourselves, the kings of display for smartphones is samsung.

The guy told me that screen of note 8 is 130k. I'm still in shock

jonsnow92:
So Suarez reportedly said there is a lack of communication and tiredness amongst players.
First Off there is no tiredness anywhere and if he's tired he should speak for himself..
2ndly How many times did he communicate well with his teammates?, his misplaced passes record hit a new low last night..Who even gives him the right to give interviews, be forming mumu senior player there.

Finally EV is a Veegee if he can't bench Suarez.

na wa o, bench Suarez and play who? And how many matches have they played between 28th January and yesterday? So why wouldn't they be tired? Are they machines? Na wa o, Messi is nursing an injury, Coutinho is just disappearing, Suarez is OLDER than all our forwards and yet you dive to blame Valverde

calculator123:
Both are worse, Suarez is on a natural decline which is expected but Countinho is lack of character

from what I read on goal.com, Coutinho was on total ghost mode. I don't understand how his conscience doesn't prick him

Isomerizm:
Coutinho is the worst Barça footballer right now. I don't consider Vidal a footballer, so he doesn't count.

lol at Vidal. I just wish Malcolm was right footed, Coutinho would have been benched since last month

calculator123:
IKON can you see how consistently useless the NEPA striker is?? What argument do you want to put up again for his defense. As for Phillipe make i no talk

I didn't watch the match but I heard Suarez was poor, Coutinho just disappeared, Vidal wanted to embarrass his forefathers, Messi needed rest, Alba was sorely missed and our best player was Ter Stegen. Ahh well at least no midweek match and weekend match isn't a tough opposition so continued resting for people like Messi, Rakitic and Busquets.
.
Meanwhile, between Suarez and Coutinho, who is worse?

there are radio freaks in the house 2nite. Na una dey enjoy radio wella. Personally, I rarely listen to radio but I like looking to be sure any phone I use has the feature

No one made it look like black is better, truth is black actually looks better especially if other colours have white front sides. The price hike by AliExpress sellers is simply Economics- the laws of demand and supply.

thanks for the clarification.

hmm I didn't know that when I checked gradient pink wasn't the same price as black with the same specs. I will check again sha

Gptech:
The prices have always been the same officially, na sellers dey play psychology on buyers.

hmm, that's not nice and our nairaland traders made it look like black is better than rose gold. Sha aliexpress traders caused it

MeshachMARTINS:
older phones black were sleeker but now ,d black is just black ,is nor fine like d blue and other colour, look Na ,older phones black were finer

and now black is cheaper not rose gold again

Make we dey pray then

But on AliExpress they are all the same price

they are not o. Wait which phone are you talking about?

philfearon:
If at all Coutinho has sense, he would have owned that left wing by now.
All this being played out of position büllshit is really irritating... If he was that good in the midfield, Arthur wouldnt have benched him... It's now a crime to not play Arthur when he is fit and he proved his worth in just two games and owned the position.
Coutinho doesn't even track back, and he was given the opportunity by being moved up to were he can cause more damage with his shooting , yet nothing.
Make Dembele come back first make we see if e no go chop bench!
His own is just attitude and sheer arrogance... He cannot be bought for such amount and expect people to take it easy on him!!!

when Dembele was playing badly, I was among those that criticised him, I even defended Valverde's benching him cos Dembele wasn't doing enough to start. Now look at Dembele, bossing every wing, even some matches we try to play some some strange 4 4 2 diamond with Dembele as the 10, he does well, when we need trickery and pace Dembele, even last week, though I didn't watch the match Malcolm did well according to reviews here. But Coutinho will be doing big boy, I wish Deulofeu was around to bench Coutinho or Malcolm could play that wing. Coutinho needs to be benched he doesn't have the hunger. That's why I love Suarez, he may play badly through out the match but everybody will know Suarez was on that field for 90 mins, he has an obvious hunger that people like Messi and Alba can feed on. Coutinho plays like he doesn't have motivation. I would even prefer he missed tons of chances than for him to continue playing as he is. And you know the worst part, Coutinho is one of my best players in that team

snrman:
My question for people supporting coutinho is
Does playing out of position warrant u to always lose the ball in attacking areas?
.
Does it warrant u to show lack of desire and commitment?
.
Does it warrant u to b sluggish most times?
.
Yes he plays out of position but if extra effort is given then we will all blame the coach not the other way round.
.
Coutinho is a very good player no doubt but his attitude this season warrant criticism even Messi was bashed under the tata martino regime.
.
Now auther is out for 3weeks lets hope he improves cus we need more shots from outside the box cus from the games av seen only Rakitic has the balls to try them

exactly, even Suarez that plays badly will at least still be obviously involved in Barca's play. Coutinho will just enter ghost mode, the only player you will be seeing from the left is Jordi Alba. And abeg what wing did Coutinho play in Liverpool or in Brazil or in Barcelona since he came? Coutinho always attacks from the left for all these teams except during the world cup qualifiers that he played from the right due to Willian Injury and Douglas Costa inconsistencies. Coutinho has no excuse abeg

what's ur verdict on the boy

I've not watched him yet, I went and was watching movie trailers and the review of one xiaomi phone like that. Maybe this night

Confusion

redmi note 6pro, note 5ai and note 4x, their black variants were all costlier than other colours...

Redmi note 7, black is the cheapest colour.
Redmi are too much
