Lol. You think Bilbao are more physical than getafe? 😂
Be like you no sabi wetin dem dey call bordalas ball.

Getefa are physical for they sake of it. They lack quality on and off the ball.

Bilbao is a pressing machine with brut physicality. Getafe's most physical player Damian Suarez was not on the pitch today.

Sancet, Williams brothers are not just physical, they're also relentless when it comes to pressing with some quality.

Curbasi is my guy, I'll really love to see how he does against Bilbao though.

Colson:
I think Cubarsi's physicality is underrated for his age, and his defending isn't talked about as much. Unlike Garcia who was just a good and calm passer, He's very good physically and defensively.

I'll like to see him against Bilbao.

X4VI is back...Mason Pinkwood no see ball play!

bluefilm:
Manure is a very useless table tennis team

It took you years but you're finally seeing the light!

I dedicate this thread to the super eagles 🦅

World class players full Fulham

Iwobi to City, Bassey to Madrid, Palhinha to Bayern...

Top top players!!!

bluefilm:
Manure should better wake up oooo

Na my two months federal government wage award I use play Dem for today game o

They will win 7:1

Anything is possible in football!

andrewbaba44:
With the space Getafe are leaving at the back ,Roque will cook

If Roque was on the pitch I can easily see 3 nil or 3:1. You know when can't do without G:G

jpmoriarti:
Joao Felix and Raphinha just missing sitters. I don't understand this lack of quality

you were not informed too??

You can't give what you don't have. As such, both are playing at their level

Mid Vs Mid!!!

patrickmuf:
He missed 2 good chances on the break. I have never rated him.

The last chance he missed just shows a guy playing at a completely mid level. You can see he was caught in two minds. He was like should I shoot or should I pass to Jibowu Felix. It was too late before he realised himself.

He's a good squad player to have around sha.

If we draw or lose this match, I won't blame Xavi at all. He's set the team up better today. We've created enough chances to be at least 2goals up.

patrickmuf:
Raphinha is below average.

It seems he forgets he is a left-footer.

Raphinha is mid level, it's not up for debate. Put Yamal there and we'll be at least 2 goals up..

He's done well according to his level though.

No matter what, Yamal shouldn't play a single minute today. He's too young for too many games

A40:
Blame Tucheliban for the Kimmich debacle. He's leaving for a reason

Thiafraud was there all the big CL ties we lost to Madrid,Atletico, Barca you can only fool the uninformed. Not OG like me wey don tey pass Schnapps.

He was directly responsible for the loss to Atletico when his papier mache ass got dispossessed and led to the deciding goal. Don't get me started on that fraud.

All 4 graphics below point out Kimmich and Goretzka there

Lol

Meanwhile, Thiago spent his whole career trying to do the short passing sequence like Xavi. While Xavi was give and go, Thiago was/is give and stay. He'll twist, turn left, right and center only to do a 2 yard pass with outside his right foot.

There's a reason why he wasn't a top candidate for Spain even when all the maestros retired from international football. Like his bro, he's very prone to injuries.

But Thiago should be thankful. He has a good following in Arthur Melo. Melo will twist, turn and pass back to the nearest CB.

He(Thiago) isn't a bad player though!

andrewbaba44:
But shey ter stegen no suppose save that ball self

andrewbaba44:
Do you know at some point this season inigo has performed better than araujo ,araujo self don do one or 2 errors

And he has always performed better than kounde

Criticize him for his performance against Napoli ,but don’t criticize his signing ,unless you will like Marcos alonslow

He was good against Napoli though. I still think he was slightly pushed but fell too quickly

andrewbaba44:
When that alaves striker Dey bully kounde I no see una call am expired defender oo

I can assure you that only Christensen and araujo can’t be bullied by osimhen if he manages to see the chance

If we are being sincere expired Martinez have had more good games than kounde this season ,but you aren’t ready for this conversation because one is young and the other is old

Martinez don get good games pass kounde this season ,but I have never see you or any one bash kounde like this

The first highlighted is quite hilarious but for the second.....

Small sample size bro. Kounde is a regular playing RB and CB. Inigo is a medical trainee as such, his numbers will look better.

Kounde Araujo or Araujo Christensen remains our best pairing.

Inigo was good against Napoli until he was pushed even though he fell too quickly.

jpmoriarti:
It is a shame that my beloved club is now a dumping ground for rejected and expired players. Almost everyone there is either on loan or signed via a free transfer.

And we expect elitist performance from these lots each match day? It is impossible.

Inigo Martinez has had his best years in the Basque region and now he comes to my club all washed up, injury ravaged and a shadow of the defender he once was and he is starting in a crucial UCL match.

That theatrical collapse on the floor when he tussled with Osimehn is a testament to the fact that he does not belong with this level anymore. You can get your best coaches to coach him but a weak and tired legs, like those of Martinez, are well beyond salvaging.

You're right but Inigo was having a very good game until that moment. Another refree would've given a foul.

If you watch closely, he tripped before being pushed by Osi but truth is he wasn't strong enough there. Zero chance Osi does that to Arooka or even the recently much maligned Kounde.

This game was a waste. 1:1 will flatter Napoli because we really should have been out of sight with a more experienced coach.

Make we see how 2nd Leg go be!

andrewbaba44:
Walai ,if they get past atm I don’t see any team they will stop Inter from making the finals again

With just 2 signings this inzaghi guy can make Barca a ucl favorite ,but ofcourse he is not available

Flick will come good for sure

Amen!!!


We'll do with some world class coaching!

andrewbaba44:
Wey that guy wey Dey call de zerbi self

You Dey support Barca and you want de zerbi to replace xavi

The coach that I should be hearing are names like klopp flick and Inzaghi even though 2 of them aren’t available but at least flick is available and interested in the job

Na so them carry setien the farmer come ,man cannot even handle dressing room

Inzaghi will be a very interesting choice but he's not available. What he's doing with Inter is the best I've seen from a coach in a long, long time.

Hakan from Am to DM. Miki from flop to beast. Just look at what he's doing with thier defense and attack. They attack and defend equally with no errors.

If they beat Athletico, they'll play another UCL final.

raumdeuter:
Hoping Tuchel moves back to England Maybe Liverpool or Man Utd and takes Upamecano with him

He's coming to Barcelona....


His job is to assist Flick in arranging the training cones.

timbros:
Understatement.

That guy na akpa amu

Maldini agrees with you lol...

Geld:
I said it some days back and thank God it happened yesterday.. imagine 60mins most of these guys don gas out? ...
Shey Xavi dey carry these boys enter gym at all?..abi na just come training,do rondo, laugh gist and go home?... Most teams have known that inorder to win Barca you need to match them with intensity.. check Matches we've lost or drawn this season...
If this club no carry flick come, Walai next season go even worst

Our major problem is fitness and intensity that's why Laporta must bring flick...

I no want hear Dezerbo or Motta. Both are doing great but I can see both especially Dezerbo struggling in a top club. I may be wrong but he gives me Pochetino vibes.

andrewbaba44:
I Dey vex jare

This is a game we should have won by 3 nil

Lol, I was totally done yesterday with Xavi.

Kilishihunter:
Normal level, I get your point chief, me sef no gree with oliverano concerning koeman but you suppose know say after matches like this the fanbase go react one way or the other, my own be say xavi leaving or not we have to find a way to beat FFP and strengthen our team especially CDM and the LW

You don't need to agree because that's not true. Koeman isn't better than Xavi. I was beyond upset and was just typing out of intensed anger.

I expected so much from Xavi when he was appointed. For Koeman, I expected absolutely nothing. Na why I dey boil

jpmoriarti:
The worst Barcelona team I have ever watched. God forbid.

Terrible to say the very least

I had to turn my TV off, later switched it on to focus on the arsenal game. But they lost lol!

andrewbaba44:
Koeman wey drag you to 9th and bottled the league with Messi earlier with better players is better than xavi wey win league with 5 games to go ?

Call xavi anything,but don’t allow your frustrations make you cap nonsense

This man, you always dey funny me lol!

Baddestguyp:
Sometimes, Xavi makes decisions and you're baffled like "wow...no way he made such a sîlly decision"

Who in the world looks at this game and thinks: "yeah, Romeu is the player we need to sub in"?

Pedri was gassed out since 60th minute but man refused to bring in Felix to put more pressure on them.

Xavi is worse than I thought...

Can Xavi leave tomorrow pls?

Towards the end of last season, I felt we won't improve with him. The second leg Vs Inter was when I knew Xavi doesn't cut it at the elite level.

Yamal, Pedri all gassed but no, the clueless coach must introduce Romeo.

I wouldn't want both but Ronald Koeman is better than Xavi as a coach. Like he's very clear. Imagine spending over 250m on Koeman like we did for Xavi.

He can't leave soon enough tufia 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Xavi, kai....even Brighton/Wolves won't want this guy near their dugout. It'll be interesting to see what he does after leaving Barca.

Smh!

Dammmmmmmmmm!!!

Lewandowski is absolutely horrible. He may end up scoring but man is beyond finished!

fkelly:
Messi envious of who? Seems ur brain needs evaluation.

21 Pendus liked his post. Messi is the definition of meek when it comes to round leather sturvs 🐐🐐🐐🐐

A40:
R.I.P Andreas Brehme.

This has not been a good season at all

Chai, RIP to him.

I remember him. One of those energetic players with actual football brain. Right foot, left foot. He really knew how to use his legs.

Ibime:
Neto is a top player but we have enough doctors in our squad, we don't need more remote workers

Sportsweb:
Be careful you anf Andrew. You guys should not deceive Todd Boehly again

andrewbaba44:
Abeg my people ,what’s so special about this cubrasi kid ?

He is just 17 ,but I think mikael Faye is Clear of him

Not a bad player ,but it looks like xavi is trying to force him on us ,I might be wrong though

Orrrh....I thought I was the only one but his passing is very clean.

I've been following the B team and the main issue with Faye is that because he's strong and fast, he thinks he can always get away with bad positioning. His positioning is not good and I think that's why Curbasi is starting. Other than that, he's clear of the upgraded Eric Garcia.

Faye is fast, big and strong. A more modern defender like Araujo, Puyol, Umtiti type while Curbasi is more like Christensen, Pique style.
