tesppidd:
Depay is a good addition.
For I still do not trust Dembele to stay fit.

Very good addition. He might not be a ballon d'or-nominated kind of player but he's trouble as an attacker. I just like someone who can cause troubles as an attacker. Griezmann doesn't. Fati, well, he's still upcoming. Dembele isn't always gonna be fit(but I hope this season is different). Pedri and Trincao are wonderful deputies.

Depay is mobile. Can play in any attacking position.

tesppidd:
Are we quite sure that Hazard has not become the Dembele of Real Madrid.?

Let him be, while our Dembele stays okay.

He's following the footsteps of his fellow ex EPL brother Bale.
Advantage Barça

that match was wrestling not football it also happen in korea/japan 2002 Germany vs Cameroon...

Guy!!! You're on point. Na fight all through. That Cameroon match ehn. The match tire me.

Sad! PSG must be frustrated rn. I also feel bad for my boy Neymar. But then again, this is part of the ugly sides football.
Rivalry can be crazy at times and players let it go to their heads.
For example Barca vs Madrid(in the past) always saw Messi get bullied, shoved in the head, Ramos and pepe were always ready to break legs.

It sometimes goes beyond the game. Tempers flare. One teammate gets injured, ref makes soft decision(e.g not showing card) and the offended team tries to get justice by "taking laws into their legs", and boom, trouble starts.

I hate seeing things like this.

Who remembers the Portugal match in 2006 world Cup in Germany, or was it?

Ikennablue:
If koeman do nothing about our defense. Barca will still be shit.
Our wingers need to learn how to shoot the ball when crossing. This playing soft is out dated.

It will be difficult for any striker to really perform in the kind of style we play. We play the ball to much around the opponent's 18 yard box and our striker up front sees less of the ball.

Our striker sees less of the ball?abi the striker isn't posing problems and is non existent. Put someone like Gabriel Jesus in this barca team and you'll see wonders.

As for shooting, hmmm, messi ,coutinho ,dembele , are the best shooters rn. puig, pjanic are the other players I can say have courage to shoot. the rest na manage.
We still have more games to judge. Let's watch and see.

usbcable:
Bar wetin?
Text fraud to 419 for more jokes

Lol. Come on. Why can't he come to barca.
If messi leaves, he'll want to come and become the main man.
Besides ,barca and Madrid are the biggest clubs in the world. So why not?

cumz:
I hate to say this, but braithwhite had a better game than griezmann as a 9 yesterday

Most of the times he's played , he's always visible than griezmann.

you don't have to hate to say it.
One of the reasons Griezmann will keep getting playing time over other attackers is the fact that he's a world class player(judging by what he's done/achieved in the past) and also the painful fact that barca splashed 100+ million on him.

SonOfAfonja:
Cancel out Firpo, that guy is a fraud.

We fit manage am or bring good defenders from B team. I heard they are not that bad.

temi1290:
You forgot wague,abi dem don loan am again

yes na! I think he's back now from Nice. not sure.

haymekus:
My major concern is Alba, that lb position is our weak link right now, and it doesn’t seem like we gonna get someone to replace him this season

That probably why a double pivot is necessary. Alba offers attacking threats only.

As for the defence, Araujo, Firpo, Todibo, Miranda. They deserve a chance.

Moura7:
Also heard FDJ was phenomenal, trinicao , Konrad, dembouz and puig too

That's what you get when talented youths play for you.
You see these 6 guys: Pedri, Trincao, Fati, De Jong, Puig(especially this boy) and Dembele .

Koeman needs gave them playing time. It's hard to see boys who are confident to play like mature players. Although pedri, FDJ, Trincao and Dembele are experienced tho

haymekus:
Barcelona should go for Depay Abeg, greizmann is so quiet up front, he just lacks that presence of a striker.


Impressive game from pedri and dembouz

Norms

MERCHANDISER:
depay can't replace Suarez trust me.We need a potential 9 not a winger.Depay can only be good in 7 or 11.

Lol. Bro, we need someone that can cause problems in the box. Some one who is mobile or else were doomed. I have said it before, in cagey, tight games, I can never play Griezmann. Depay is tricky and sharp with his run even tho he's not a super 9. Suarez had a super off-the-ball movement and crazy goal sense but he's a wasteful bastard(tho I like him).
If Koeman knows what's good for him he should start using Fati and Messi up front if he wants goals.

Coutinho for AM, Dembele for RW, Pedri /Fati for LG.

Griezmann can be sub or used as AM or CF in open on easier games.

pu7pl3:
Why are you excluding Messi? After the stunt he pulled does he deserve that armband?
Pique and Sergio are more deserving than him in that department

Stunt? What stunt did he pull? Standing up to expose the shambolic nature of the management? What would you have him do? Sit and watch the club being run down by incompetent nincompoops? Waste remain years of his divine life on a useless, passion less and unambitious club? How many players would do what Messi did?

The saga awakened everyone. Everyone is up and doing. Motivation is high not to Bleep up.

He might lack the motivational skills(on the pitch) that I've always criticized him for but he is a leader in several ways.

Koeman being the manager is a good thing. He's outspoken and can speak to the team a lot, unlike valverde and Setien. So a little bit of burden is relieved off Messi.
But tell me, asides pique(who is a good fit to some extent) , who should be captain?

Roberto and Busquets (that aren't guaranteed starting place)? Alba? Griezmann? Dembele? Semedo? FDJ? Newcomer Pjanic? Or maybe we should give to Fati na?
Someone spent 20 years of his life in a club and pushed the club to great Heights and you're questioning his captaincy status.

pu7pl3:
No self respect

I seriously can't believe this guys are still captains. Excluding Messi tho. This la masia privilege ehn. Odikwa very strong. I just hope Roberto and Busquets won't be starting.

haymekus:
Suarez and Vidal are NOT in the squad which faces Nastic in a friendly game tonight

Sadly, Pjanic just started his own training today alongside todibo. Would have loved to see him play.
And Fati too(injured).

haymekus:
Vidal to inter almost done




Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssss!

Suarez too will follow him out.

I think the Vidal deal also brings a defender from inter in.

Hmm
A literate person won't commit such a blunder as having generator within habitable premises.

Sad! Let this be lesson to all.

FirstbornWds:
Is this really Dembouz, or shall we seek for another?

Lol. I wish dembouz was like this.

If Koeman and his fitness crew stay 4 seasons, Dembele can look like this

Slimmy19:
There are no city fans here

Lol. Man city is a like a 'side chick' club to lots of fans. Especially barca fans like me.

I started backing them for success the season they won that dramatic EPL. And I've loved them ever since, especially since my man, guardiola came over.

FirstbornWds:
Mhen, if you guys see drilling...


Hope say Koeman no won turn our guys to bird??

Cos

Intense Intensity training

I'll like to see them play tomorrow. everyone has 45 mins to prove himself. Should be fun.

haymekus:
Fati out for 10 days

When Koeman wants to kill him with intense drills. I just hope it doesn't affect them. The way the guys were flying ehn, fear will catch you. Especially short players like Messi

Moura7:
That cursed number 7?....Pedro was doing fine till he started wearing that number, same with Coutinho too who was doing ok when he was no14, even Arda too

i remember him in 17 and villa in 7
lol. Pedro was always OK irrespective. His decline was probably caused by the crisis we had before he left.

coutinho's own is understandable too

Arda was a wrong player for barca signed by that idiot President. plus, he wasn't even played regularly. A whole Arda. The once engine of A.Madrid.

Quick one: Did you guyz know that messi was willing to offer his no 10 shirt to Arda

BykeLaByke:
Hearing Griezzy with the number 7?


It really is Redemption SzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzN.

what will coutinho now wear
Messi 10 Dembouz 11 Suarez_9 Griezmann 7

tesppidd:

Make he nor use intensity kill person ooh.

As in ehn

Op should have talked a little about her assistant ,blac chyna or whatever she's called.

"They've been very positive. We're two weeks in and the players are working very well. There is a good level of intensity in training, fIrst of all with the fitness side in the opening weeks, and now with tactics."

"The players have shown a lot of spirit, interest and intensity, and that is the most important thing, because for me you have to train how you play. It's very important and I am very happy with the work that the team have done over these two weeks."


The game against Nàstic

"Each player is going to get 45 minutes; it will be a game with two separate teams. We will look for intensity, order in our play, how we want to play with the ball, transitions and pressing... things to improve and to see how we want to play."


This man and intensity ehn. He's always emphasizing it. I just hope the attacking style he has been preaching and the rigorous fitness training pays off.

Moura7:
but he might actually deliver there, I mean he's not that different from mbappe and mbappe has played as a 9 on some occasions for PSG. The pace, trickery, both feet and shooting power too.
I don't know sha...just thinking out loud

Messi,fati,griezmann,trincao,Braithwaite

I'll put this guys as CFs over dembele
