When you fail to admit reality but shift the blame of your poor result to an individual, this is the result.
De Gea with one hand tied and one leg tied is better than fully fit Onana.

The bolded is a common knowledge. But common knowledge is not common!

Gala team sha lol SMFH 😂😂😂😂

I haven't been impressed with Jules Kounde for a while now. He also had a pretty unsteady performance yesterday night. Nearly cost us on a couple of occasions, only to be baled out each time by Inigo Martinez.

Boy should step up. We still have loads of big games coming up

Kounde has been very shaky recently. In our biggest game, I'll prefer Cancelho, Indigo, Xtrnsen, Aruooko. But Xavi will decide as always so there's that!

Hi Guys, its been a minute, 6,074 post since the birth of this thread. Been a good journey I would say. If anyone is interested in creating another thread for the official Barca thread, please signify. (Abeg onlyrealfan oo, nor be onlyfans fan )

Longest time high Chief. We're okay with this one. Let's build to something like 15k pages or more.

BykeLaByke:
Keep him on his toes ke.

Person wey no go see starting eleven ever again when Ter Dogshït come back?

At least before if one play cup games another go play league and UCL games.

Now na person wey no good dey play everything.

I had to laugh. Even if Ter Standing is half fit, he starts over Pena at any given instance.

jpmoriarti:
Xavi will get there but you need top level players to get to the very top. We currently do not have a proper DM.

The club doesn't have one naira to buy anyone. Yet we need one. You could see how we desperately needed a DM tonight. These are the basics. No matter how world class a coach might be, you still need proper footballers to execute your ideas

My point is and I reiterate; Xavi is everything but world class"

I mean even Di Mateo who won the UCL isn't considered world class.

Right now, most people will consider Xabi Alonso better than Xavi sef. That's their problem though but our coach is not world class yet my bro. That's my point!

raumdeuter:
Do you think the misfortune of Milan is tied to the number of useless Chelsea they signed like Lotus asscheek and especially Foolishic who was already doomed by airmark

How can a semi finalist go to this level

If you're going to the UCL with players like Loftus Cheeks among your key men, then the outcome shouldn't really surprise you.

Yes, Milan made some wrong singings. They'll finish last as expected!

jpmoriarti:
Xavi's a world class coach. Being able to manage these mediocre players, is a no mean feat. He's also a laliga winner. Give him respect. He'll get to the level of these other excellent Spanish coaches. Na small by small.

Ah Ogah lol.

But Velverda is better than Xavi and nobody considers him world class.

Unai Emery is better than Xavi and very few, if any will consider him world class.

We have a very good team. No mean feat keh!

Anyways, I no want argue sha. Goodnight.

Xavi is everything but world class my bro!

jpmoriarti:
Man City has won the last 5 EPL titles. 😂😂😂 and are well placed to make it to another one this season.

The joke's on you bro

Chelsea will win it this season to stop City from making it 6 straight. The blues 💙 will win EPL this season with Pinky!

I tell you the truth. If Pep stays 12 years, that's 12 straight EPL for city. Even the best Barca with Pep can't try that in Laliga!

Ballzproblem2:
from this thread of course i can't pull evidence I no get strength.


Everyday Barca standards keeps falling since Messi left ,now you guys are settling for scraps , Messi was the last piece holding this mediocre team for years.

Hmm, okay. Messi was the last piece holding Barca. Who's going to help Chelsea?

Pinky?

Ballzproblem2:
who else competes in that league except from vardrid? la liga is a two horse race the others na follow come.

it's not a metric for judging good team

How many people are fighting in EPL? At least Madrid dey here. Who's going to stop City winning it again this season?

I put my money on Chelsea to stop them sha.

Chelsea for the EPL!

jpmoriarti:
I don't know man. Lewandowski main issue is that he struggles to progress the play. The ball seems to get stuck at his feet and the defenders always seems to get the better of him, manhandling him.

Yet he can still popup and score a great goal or two. He is a great player. One of the best strikers in the world with over 90 UCLs goals. You have to keep playing him, so he can get his mojo back.

There is no easier way of dealing with someone like him. Its not as straightforward as you are making it seem

That's why we need a world class coach. Pep, Enrique will have no problem dropping an underperforming Lewy. But will introduce him back to the team when he's improved his form.

Pep benched Lewy at Bayern, introduced him later, Baba enter score 5 goals in 9 mins.

Lewy needs to wake up. We need him!

Ballzproblem2:
na una problem be that ,my own that Vitor roque many of una fans dey use get hope .

the delusion thinking an 18 year old(unproven) from Brazil will be a game changer is laughable, unless he is Neymar level of talent which he isn't.

I'm just getting to know this. From what I've read here, even on Reddit and BB, most fans are scepticical about Roque. Some even refer to him as "that fat boy"

Where you dey get your news from?

udatso:
Its not like we have an alternative for him though. Aubameyang no dey again.

The Idea is not to bench him forever. The point is making sure he understands that he could be dropped. He's out best attacker nah. Who dey. I don't know if you're getting my point sha.

Ferran, Raph are all mid players nah!

Ballzproblem2:
if he was Madrid he will cook ,Barca is mid.

la liga just don't have serious competition if not you guys would have been in bottom 10

Lewy is the current pichichi winner. He won it when Benzema was the incumbent belondor winner. Lewy is also the current Laliga champ 🏆. How do you want him to cook more than that?.

My issue with Lewy is that he's now too comfortable. I know what he can do. He needs to do more. Has nothing to do with cooking at Madrid. He has already cooked here!

jpmoriarti:
If you bench Lewandowski, who will you play? Ferran Torres?

That's not how coaching work bro. You drop an underperforming player to put him on his toes. Pep will drop Auero for Delap no cap. He's done it before sef.

Enrique had no problems dropping Pique for Mathieu. This helped Pique to get his form back leading to another treble.

Take Lewy off and introduce Ferran. He's the worse winger in that team and a better striker.

The idea isn't to bench Lewy forever. It's just to make him understand that if he doesn't perform, he could be dropped. It's just simple sturvs

BlueMann:
That is such a huge decision in the grand scheme of things. All of a sudden, it's PSG who now control their own destiny; Newcastle now need to beat Milan and need BVB to do them a favor. Such a shame.

Milan are the weakest in the group and will finish last as expected.

Newcastle should beat them.

Dortmund Vs PSG is dah game!

Leyqute:
Barcola no suppose collect salary this week.

He may collect now. His team now have their destiny in their own hands!

Ballzproblem2:
should have stayed at Bayern,the grass ,as they say isn't always green on the other side.

Xavi made him comfortable. Under any other coach, he'll always be on his toes...

jpmoriarti:
We had to do it the hard way. A seemingly easy group could have easily turn abit complicated.

We're through to last 16!!!!

Cold and anxiety didn't allow me to go to Montjuïc tonight to see our boys.

Pinshure nkor, Trevor is coming for his pinshure.

udatso:
Aswear, Pep can do that kind of thing. Lewa's sharpness is gone.

He still has three years left on his official contract with Barca. Whoseover offered him such deal is an id!ot!

Whatsoever happened to Robert Lewandowski.

What a waste...na why I love Pep. Lewy for don dey train with U-21 by now....
SMFH!

Ballzproblem2:
mid champions league, [b]Chelsea will dog walk [/b]their way into finals if we had qualified

No doubt!

udatso:
Chai, Porto just dey pass through our midfield unhindered as if we don't have midfielders.... Chai, we miss Gavi. There is no time they have attacked us that wasn't a threat. They move ball from their defence to ours in less than 8 seconds

Gavi is the best midfielder at Barca. He offers everything from offense to defense.

Gundo nah expressway. I'll much rather have Christensen as a pivot with Dejong and Gundo close to him. Have Pedri on the bench for now.

He's scored but take him off. He's on the edge and will get a red soon.

Chai, Barca!

jpmoriarti:
It is obvious Porto are having a better game tactically than us. Dominating the midfield and moving swiftly through the flanks to attack at pace.
Our attack and midfield are suffering to get anything going.

Bro I was just being sarcastic with that question. We'll find ourselves in serious trouble soon as far as Xavi is here. His Asian Champions League record is abysmal.

Xavi is a League coach, he's not even that good with the league thing sef.

udatso:
When i told you guys that Raphinha cannot dribble a dying very old grandma, you guys thought I was joking. The funny tghing as horrible as his game is currently, he might just shockingly score or provide an assist.

That's not really funny. That's just Raphinha for you. A mid table player!

BlaqFaze:
Cancelo is a better winger than Raphinha

Blaqfaze is a better/faster winger than Raphinha. Knowing fully well that blaqfaze has pot belly!

jpmoriarti:
Another poor first half from Barcelona.

Felix and Raphinha looked out of sort. Midfield was non-existent. Only Cancelo standing up tonight.

Xavi having another poor game, being out-coached yet again when it matters most.

Are you sure about this?

Papa clueless......


No ball winner, no winger, no positional play, just vibes!

One of the most clueless gaffers I've ever seen.
