Pjanic deserves to be on the bench. Dude has not done any positive thing in all the chances he has been allotted this season. Alot of lukewarm, mediocre performances. His chance creation has been next to nothing. When he is afforded opportunity to shoot at goal, he skies it high and wide off target. Nothing special from the former juventus midfielder.

That means Busquets is better?

jpmoriarti:
Very good from Koeman.

Calamitous Lenglet benched ahead of Mingueza.

We'll see how it goes.

Plus no Coutinho. And Braithwaite continues starting.

Only God knows what Pjanic did to Koeman?

I'm dying to see De jong today and messi breaking Pele's record.

"The RFEF have announced that the draw for the Spanish Super Cup will take place tomorrow. Barcelona and Real Madrid will be kept separate. One will get Athletic Club, and the other Real Sociedad. The games will be played in January"



So many fixtures.

jpmoriarti:
He's under massive pressure to justify his huge price tag. He wants to prove this every time he's on the pitch. Reason he over exerts himself. Sometimes he endes up overdoing things, which becomes counter productive.

Heard the medical team are complaining.

Because dembele was instructed to signal the bench if he felt any slight discomfort.

In the 50th minute in his last match, he kept mute and stubbornly continued.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ousmane Dembélé will return in the coming days, but the problem remains latent with the young forward: no matter how much physical trainers and doctors insist, he doesn't know how to read his body well. [as]

Real Sociedad haven't won at the Camp Nou since the 1990/91 season, and their balance since then is disastrous: 27 defeats and one draw. [md]

So UEFA, since 2017 allows players to play for a new club in the champions league, even if they've played for another team before.

Meaning if messi gets signed by PSG, he'll be eligible to play against us this February.

My fellow barca fans,

How can you argue with the unwise?
How can you argue with people who despise the truth?
How can you argue with people, who in the face of facts and logic, respond weakly with: 'unnecessary shalayes', 'K', and other words that gives credence to proof of their idiocy, ignorance and mental discoordination?

How can you argue with blockheads?

O wrong!

Since when neymar left barca, PSG managed to get to champions league(considering they had easy teams)after years of losses in RO16s and QFs,just once - last season.

Therefore, on this basis, since barca and messi haven't won champions League all this while, it can be said that neymar has been carrying messi. Oh lord! Save us from IQ-depreciating reasoning.

To my fellow barca fans, how can y'all stoop so low to engage in arguments such as 'neymar >>>messi' or 'Neymar carried messi'.

Haba! Why?! This is so wrong!

Responding to fools is like pouring fuel to fire. It won't quench their foolishness. It'll make it worse.

Silence! Silence!!

No better answer.

homesteady:
You guys that are saying that Modric was not part of the 1st, 2nd or 3rd team, na wa for you people oh. They released a shortlist of 20 midfielders for the DM position and another 20 midfielders for Offensive midfield position and Modric didn't show up in any.

That means that if they created up to 10 teams, he wouldn't appear in any. Busquets would have even appeared in one of the teams because he is on the shortlist.

But why should the only player that was able to break the Ronaldo and Messi Balon d'or dominance be treated this way? It is because he is a fraud.

Because of Modric, the organisers will soon create a rule that will enable them to forcefully take back their award if the winner is a source of disgrace and embarrassment like Modric

Another angle! Good point.

And the fools will still be arguing stupidly.

tesppidd:

Take it easy man....

Even Iron Mike Tyson in his prime didn't do them this hard.

I was just telling him the truth

pu7pl3:
took alotta work but this guy has finally overtaken Tesppidd as the most clueless Cule on Nairaland

*Sighs*

Says the guy who claims modric is greater than xavi

You're a composition of foolishness, cluelessness and low intelligence.

And guess what like about you? You display these qualities with so much consistency and confidence on this thread that I doubt if we're even from the same creator.

Keep it up. We need lots like you to keep us amused.

Krasid:
Yes. I'm very sure Modric would trade his ballon d'or and world cup golden ball to be in France football dream team. Mumu

Pain!

But then again, that's a side effect of truth.

Lastly, upgrade your brain before ever quoting or replying me. I'm allergic to stupidity. Yours happen to be of premium quality.

haymekus:
Then where do you put Eto’o

Another great player. Henry shouldn't be there. But then, the list compiled is ballon d'or powered. A lil French sentiment is inevitable.

TLona1:
Melvyn11

I see Xavi but not Modric.. Wetin happen?

TLona1:
Second and third team yet Modric is still nowhere to be found

Melvyn11

Pesin wey no get sense.

Its like saying Canavaro is greater than maldini because he won FIFA best player.

TLona1:
Second and third team yet Modric is still nowhere to be found

Melvyn11

Even if 5 teams were ccreated, modric won't be in any.

Its simple stuff.

No English player at all.

BTW , maybe its just me, but doesn't ibra qualify to be in these teams?

And iniesta should be in the second team in place of rijkaard. Or better still, first team in place of mathus

haymekus:
Some idiots actually compared this goat to a one season wonder??

Oh well, everyone can't be wise.

investorcj:
I don't believe Barcelona is suffering.they have always been like that but Messi goals and assist were always covering the problem.Now that he declined the problems are showing.if he his to regain form again we would all say barca has regained form whereas the problem is still there.

Any objection to this? I don't think so.

Moura7:
Very much possible, very. Let's just hope our form improves. If De jong plays like he did yesterday, every match it would be nice. See how we upped the game when we switched to 433 b4 Koeman changed it again to 532.

Just see how De Jong played. Driving forward and Messi was at the right place to receive his pass. He had the highest no of chances created. A stat that messi typical holds. But De jong did his job and reduced messi's work load.

People criticize messi for having trust issues, and that's why he drops to create chances. But the truth is ,if every player can up the ante and bring their best, this team would shine.

That's why I don't fancy Coutinho
Coutinho might be played on the left but that doesn't mean he should give his best and improve his attitude. Pedri plays anywhere but still gives his best. The boy should be starting not Coutinho.

The 5-3-2 was to defend the lead. Yesterday game showed 4-3-3 is and always will be the best formation for the team.

tesppidd:
Damn! We should be the ones playing Porto and not Juve.

PSG is very beatable. I trust Neymar to miss one or both legs.

Those writing us off have no idea what the UCL is.

Sad but true!

I hope this fixture will help the players intensify their efforts.

Debroslink:
Na so we take beat Cadiz right?
You berra calm down brother. Don't you put your money on this our team that can't beat any decent team any longer.

We have a until February to improve.

If Dembele gets back, if Coutinho magically rediscovers his form, if Griezmann turns his A.Madrid mode, if Messi activates his god-like powers and magic like before, if De jong produce performance that made barca shell out 75 million, if Puig plays and give the performance that make millions of barca fans crave for him, if Busquets doesn't play, of our defense becomes rock solid, if koeman gets his shit together and dumps his losing tactics, if our forwards discover their shooting and scoring form...... if, if ,if

Big ifs, but not impossible. we have a chance. we're a big club with big players. Koeman just needs to find a way to bring out the best in them.

We need Koeman to be wise. Koeman is the key.

jpmoriarti:
I said provided calamitous Lenglet is not around. That guy has become a shadow of himself. He is one of the weak links in this present Barcelona. Another weak link is Jordi Alba.

Alba give attacking options. put firpo and the left wing become dormant. But defensively? Alba is a no-no

jpmoriarti:
PSG is winnable biko.

We weren't punished for finishing second as I feared we would.

We have won PSG in each of the ties we have had with them.

I would have preferred we got Bayern, man city or Liverpool. PSG won't be at full strength.

I crave for Bayern. To knock us out so we don't deceive ourselves in the competition. And if the gods smile on us and we beat them, it will be for revenge.

But, PSG it is. Quarter final loading. Koeman should not think of losing the match. Barca have not lost a Round of 16 clash in ages. Koeman seriously shouldn't add this record to the bad ones he has accumulated.

When I saw how that guy twisted the narrative, I almost died off laughter.
Christ! So pointless!

Expert17:
Big clown

Godx: MESSI is the problem at Barcelona

Trevor: Fernandes is the problem at Manchester United

Are you for real?!

If its not the same person with the monikers ,then I'll just assume they're connected to the same Hotspot of foolishness.

GrammarNazi1:
He is known for only two things on this thread: his hatred for Messi and his I-need-more-goals-from-Griezmann comment.

I thought I was the only one who noticed o

May y'all have a wonderful week. May barca continue winning. May Messi continue breaking records. May koeman have sense.

May haters and critics develop sense and realize messi is a problem-solver and not a 'problem. He's the GOAT.

tesppidd:
Wait ooh
Was is Levante or Leganes that spoilt our unbeaten record again?

It was this same stupid levante o.

Goldbringer:
Omo with the way things are we are obviously in big trouble with whoever we are given. I would have preferred Dortmund but they've sacked their dumb coach already

Chelsea nkor. I pray before we play RO16 Dembele gets back to action and hopefully, koeman is sacked .

May De jong maintain this level of play

Away from stupid talks, let's not forget tomorrow is champions league draw.
Let's get Bayern.
