UNCL3:
Jesus!!!
Your last paragraph is poisonous.

chinaza1:
Speak for yourself. Messi is not and can never be Barcelona problem. Because of few bad bad game, he is now the worst player in your little mind. If you are to be a player, can you achieve half of achievement. You are definitely not a fan

Expert17:
De Jong Pass to Messi again ------>>>>>>> Goallllllll


Cc Godx

FirstbornWds:
Dest for Trincao. It's obvious.

homesteady:
Is this not the same XI that played against Cadiz?

GrammarNazi1:
Na Messi matter wan kill you so.

tesppidd:


A lot of ineffective players hide under the cover of Messi.

You see Fati and Dembele? And Neymar?

When these 3 guys are on the ball, they don't even care whether Messi exists. They do their thing.

Fati for one really amazed me with his confidence and his balls.


If Koeman has got any sense at all, he would revert tactics and give Puig and Bratihwaite a good run..

tesppidd:
Mtchew....

eople just be speaking worthless grammar upandan while the root cause of the problem stares them right in the face.

We saw David Villa shine in the presence of Messi.
We saw Pedro shine in the presence of Messi.
We saw Neymar shine in the presence of Messi.
We saw Suarez shine in the presence of Messi.
We have seen Dembele shine in the presence of Messi.
We have seen Fati shine in the presence of Messi.

*Fati was special but he's injured for months.
*Dembele always injured.
*Coutinho injured, prone to injury.
*Griezman flopping. They still tried him in his preferable position and still not done anything worthwhile.
*Pedri and Trincao. Nothing special that other rival teams do not have.

We have a bunch of absentie "world class" attackers.

The club has been buying flops in the name of preparing for the future.


We have got a situation where a 34 year old player can play 30 straight games without getting injured while our best young players like Fati, Dembele and Coutinho cannot play 10 straight matches.

The bulk of our problems still remains off the pitch.

Even if we bring back Alex Ferguson in his prime, the only dependable attackers available to him today would still be Messi, Puig and Pedri.

GrammarNazi1:
Your explanation is logical, I cannot lie.
But he should man up and do his job or he should leave.

jpmoriarti:
Valverde had a 29 yr old Messi, still banging goals and winning ballon d'or. Valverde had a hungry, younger Suarez at his peak. What did he achieve with them He achieved ultimate humiliation each year. Installed a chicken, fragile mentality on the players. The players collapse like a pack of cards once the pressure takes a slight notch. He created a Barcelona wallowing in utter mediocrity. Please, please don't bring Valverde in the same sentence here again.

Koeman on the other hand, is having to grapple with the consequences of wasted years. Consequences of having a group of players at the lowest ebb of their careers. Players whose mentality have taken a huge confidence knock. Players who have aged more. Messi is now 33 etc. A disbalanced squad with Players who have no place in the team. Players like Griezmann, Coutinho, Lenglet, Braithwaite sadly do not have a place in the team. I hope Koeman changes this but he has one of the worst jobs in club management right now.

haymekus:
What’s your definition of played well??

If barce have played well, then why are they languishing in 14th position or better still why have they lost all games against good teams

Dominating possession and Moving the ball up and down the pitch with no plans to put it at the back of the net is not playing well

Krasid:
Messi frauding his way into FIFA top three. Can't say I am surprised.

FirstbornWds:
It is one thing to be new and rigid, it is another thing to be stupid and not pay heed to wisdom.


Kowman is being stupid, stubborn and not willing to build this team well. There's something with trying out different strategies and bring out the best that work. But here, Koeman doesn't understand that.


The defenses has always been in shambles.... The exclusion of Pique made everything worse.

tesppidd:
Lol

You're being too hard on the team.

True the team has not done too well, but with a lot of young and new players and a new coach,

We can't expect miracle. Every new team must gel.


Beside referees and silly defensive errors are killing us!

tesppidd:
As if he read my mind when we were talking about Fernandez yesterday.

So may indomie midfielders in our team.

It's high time we introduced some steel in middle of the park..

Not too much, just a little bit.

FirstbornWds:
He doesn't have shame. Let him continue using Busi, Pjanic and De Jong na.. Sheebi them fry him sense with garri before.

Goldbringer:
He maketh me to kneel down in green pastures

tesppidd:
Gosh Fati and Dembele.

I miss those 2.

They are the best things in our attack apart from Messi.
