djembadjemba:
Well, moving on. Let's just hope this will serve as a wake up call to lucho. The sextuple is jjust a dream now

Pipe dream I must say!

sebod:
Losing to Bilbao with such a margine is not acceptable for a club like Barca. 4-0? That's ridiculous. I am not a pessimist, but I don't see us overturning four goals deficit without conceding one with our current defence. I have moved on from the sextuple, my major concern is how we will cope when any of the major players is not available. We seem not to have a reliable back up for now.

Well we share same sentiments bro. The tie is lost!

djembadjemba:
I swear if Lucho plays that sonovabitchh called ter stegen in the 2nd leg, he'll completely lose my trust. Imagine having nightmares after a barsa game.

I wasn't expecting a win nor a lose by such margin, but A. Ter Stegen is not to blame for the goals. The entire team except god-Messi was whack.

Lucho I believe did what was best but it ended as a naive team selection. Playing a defensive and midfield selection that hasn't played together before reeks of stupidity. When I saw J. Mascherano, S. Roberto and Rafinha A., in the line up, I was worried. Going ahead to see M. Batra with T. Vermalen made me give up.

[size=16pt]Lionel Messi says his goals to tie Cristiano Ronaldo's record were lucky[/size]

Lionel Messi is the greatest footballer in the history of planet Earth.

And he scored two wonderful free kicks in Barcelona's 5-4 UEFA Super Cup win over Sevilla on Tuesday.

But despite the fact that he's an alien put on Earth to embarrass humans at the game they invented

And love more than any other, he refuses to acknowledge how good he is.

"I've just been lucky enough to score those," said Messi, who really needs to stop being so humble.

By the way, those goals mean he's equal with Cristiano Ronaldo for goals in all European competitions now. Messi's played 19 fewer games.

http://www.sbnation.com/soccer/2015/8/12/9136723/lionel-messi-uefa-scoring-record-cristiano-ronaldo-backheel-breakfast

It baffles me how come he scores as much with his unselfish assists, how much more equaling the "arrogant and selfish one"...

Humility at its best...

That's what gods do!

Messi-Suarez-Ronaldo!

I'm not really happy though! Neymar deserves to be on this shortlist than Suarez!
Suarez did not play for some months, and when he started playing, he was soo soo of-form! He started playing well just around the 2nd or 3rd week of this year! Meanwhile, Neymar was there all this while, he was even our highest goal scorer for a while!

But since Suarez is still a Barca player, no wahala!
The journalists even voted Buffon ahead of Neymar! SMH

I tell you bro, L. Suarez was more vital to our success than Neymar Jnr.; you have to look beyond the goals for a moment on this.

I see!

djembadjemba:
Anyway, when is Pedrito leaving? And Nolito arriving?

Nolito is too good to be on the bench. Dude chalks up 20 goals plus every season since leaving us. Although he plays in a low league, I've been a keen admirer for as long. We should let Sandro develop under the tutelage of the MSN.

dmcdad:
Can someone please tell me what Ronaldo did better than Neymar in last season's Champions League?
Honest question here.

Because he said "f*ck FIFA" last week or so, knowing certainly he can't win the D'or. Someone at FIFA got the panic. Such a loser!

Johnpaul88:
Nice analysis!
I wouldn't blame Enrique for the substitution of Iniesta. I guess his hand was forced because iniesta sustained a knock. But what became startlingly obvious was that Iniesta doesn't really have a sub or someone close in terms of quality unlike last season when we had Xavi.

Though I had expected Rafinha to fill his void and Pedro introduced instead of Roberto. But i latter learned that Pedro too was struggling with adductor issues, so couldn't have completed the game when it entered extra time. I believe he brought Pedro at the right moment and he gave us a winner.

Our defence coped well for the first hour but when Sevilla brought in subs and with Iniesta withdrawal, we lost control. I didn't know why we should lose control if not that the players themselves couldn't see a way back for Sevilla from 4-1. They lost concentration and became nervous after Mattieu conceded a penalty.

A. Iniesta sure has a replacement and that is Rafinha A and A Turan(when he comes in officially). IMO, by the withdrawal of Iniesta, he should have brought on Adriano C., to fill up at LB then push J. Mascherano to the midfield and J. Mathieu takes his place. Or, he brings on M. Batra in at the back for J. Mascherano to move to the MF.

On either of the subs above, he should have looked (emphasis) to shore up the midfield and not weaken it. As you'd see much later at 4-2, Rafinha played deep, but then Lucho had no response in tactics to the double subs that U. Emery made which eventually tied the game. It is in moments like that, you know a great coach.

In the end, I'm very proud of the result as it goes a long way to show the superiority of La Liga over the rest of Europe. Sevilla played a great game!

When some of us come hard on Lucho, a few guys here rise quickly to his defence. His subs are just too predictable, and quite assuming for someone coaching a top team like FCB.

The match:

T. Stegen had a below average game. Was poorly positioned for all 4 goals. 4/10

D. Alves was poor all through. He was run ragged when Sevilla played through the flanks.5/10

J. Mathieu lacked confidence going into the game. Wasn't surprised by his performance. 4.5/10

G. Pique was solid tilll J. Mascherano was drafted to the middle and taken off. 7/10 & 6.8/10

S. Busquets bossed the midfield through out. 8/10

I. Rakitic had an average game. His position is understandable considering his history with the opposition. 5/10

A. Iniesta was a force while he was on. The game crumbled upon his demise. 8.5/10

Rafinha A. was lively through out. 7/10

L. Suarez; great performance, great goal. 8/10

God-Messi was at his divine best. 10/10

S. Roberto was a pain in the midfield. Unsure of his place and position. The game was lost upon his introduction. 3/10

M. Bartra had a shaky start, which led to the 4th goal, but grew as the game wore on. 6/10

Pedrito. Goodbye our humble hero.! Rose to the occasion as always. 8/10

Surely, Messi couldn't have reacted in such aggressive manner without that Roma guy saying something hurtful to him. Certainly can't be how intensive his tackle was. Messi has faced real madmen in Madrid jerseys; and we didn't see him going all Slade Wilson on them.

I'm not in support of his behavior, but I think yall critics should cut him some slack

That player should thank his stars for that brief moment with god-Messi. Being grabbed by the neck and getting head butted is actually a blessing, as very few men have truly experienced that. That probably is a highpoint of his career; just watch as things change for him, for good. His life will never be the same again! To be touched that way by a god? C'mon, most men would kill for that..

That's what I do not know,I'd prefer outright sale though with a buy-back clause.

Sell him for £100‚000 and buy him back for £300000 after 2 seasons if he improves. Perfect deal IMO. I always prefer outright sale of promising talents. Loaning them doesn't guarantee quality play time that is necessary for their development.
