FirstbornWds:
We reached a point where our defenders are not the problem anymore. There was a time when conceding two goals was okay because we were sure we would outscore the opponents. Now we hardly concede goals, but we cannot score either.

Our defense is among the best in Europe, if not even the best, with 0.4 goals conceded per match. That is better than Arsenal (0,9), Bayern (0,9), Napoli (0. , and PSG (0.
8 ).
In addition, Barcelona is the team that recovers the most balls in La Liga at a rate of 3,9 per minute, which is due to the press after the possession loss.

So where is the problem? The problem is not even Xavi but the players being indecisive. Barcelona has only one goal scorer, Lewandowski, with 13 goals scored out of 34 in La Liga. Dembele comes in 2nd place with 4 goals.

Moreover, Barcelona has the highest xg ratio (expected goals) in the top 5 leagues (39,69), ahead of City, Liverpool, and Arsenal. However, Barcelona is the team that missed the most chances in La Liga, with 33 opportunities.

Again, where is the problem? The problem is our mediocre forwards who cannot shoot the ball. We missed way too many chances to score a single goal. Xavi's job is to make the players reach the final third, and he is currently the best in Europe. Nevertheless, he cannot score goals himself. I am not trying to defend Xavi, as there are some things that he can change but the players forgetting how to score goals is not his fault.

There are rumored speculations that Barcelona has agreed on a swap deal btw us and Juve to swap Arthur for Pjanic.

It's like thunder has finally gotten a resting place to dwell on.

Are Barcelona board mad??

Juventus have agreed a £72.5m fee with Barcelona to sign Arthur... (Sky sports)

LaMujer:
Most competitive League EPL.
Why? Do you know how many EPL teams have won the league in 10 years?

Answer: 4


My point.
How many Dutch teams have won Eredivisie in the last 10 years? 3/4

How many Spanish teams have won La Liga in the last 10 years? 3

How many French teams have won the league in the last 10 years? 4

How many Italian teams have won the league in the last 10 years? 3


You have 4, France has 4, Holland has 4.

So?

7 teams have won the Nigeria Professional Football League in the last ten years... So therefore, therefore so, NPFL is greater and more competitive than the EPL

Astark:
I still believe Madrid can still win this game...

Remember Perez is in charge.

He made a whole league change the format of super cup just to see madrid win

Win fire

It's 1-4 now

Lenglet benching umtiti both club and country

I was thinking France coach will continue using umtiti

But I still feel umtiti is a better player than lenglet sha

Umtiti is nursing a foot injury.

I just hope this one doesn't end up like Coutinho 4 Valverde hand

Adiwana:


Yes,our main problem is Valverde and why we are not signing Ajax coach,I dont know why but Neymar is still Neymar and has proven he can lead without Messi more than any player in our outfit.He also has proven he can as much as Messi bring out the best in Suarez.He has almost the same threat on the field as Messi.

The PSG game and that period Messi went on injury is a typical example of what he can offer which we really lack with or without Messi.Nobody can deny that we immediately felt his impact when he left in which Valverde really did a nice job in fixing.

Like it or not,we may not need him as much as he needs us,but we still need him

I have never doubted Neymar's ability. I strongly believe he will be signed in January which will be a great addition to the team.

But my point is this present squad, without neymar, is still a great one. Some coaches will die to have the kind of materials Valverde has... Messi, Suarez, Griezmann, De Jong, Dembele, Vidal, Arthur, Ter Stegen, Alba, Busquet, Rakitic, Coutinho, (before sending him away), to mention but a few.. These are top players. Adding Neymar to the squad will be very wonderful, but with Valverde still at the helm of affairs, I think it won't make any difference. Infact, it will give him more selection problems, with his tactics still questionable.

BroadStreetBull:
I hate to admit this but we have to bring back Neymar.

I have hated him ever since the transfer saga and never wanted him back but it's time to eat a piece of humble pie and renew my interest in Ney.

He still wants to come to Barca and if PSG were to release him his first choice would be Barca above any other team.

If we can't sign him this summer we try again next summer.

I have given up on anyone else on this team;

When Messi's time is done, Neymar is the best option to carry on.

You want a 27 year old Neymar to take over from Messi?

Messi still has about 4 or 5 years of top flight football (that's if he doesn't play till 40 sef). Add that to Neymar's age, maybe by that time he will be back to his home country playing for Santos or Corinthians, we know how dem Brazilians end their career.

As much as I would love to have him back, I do not think adding Neymar to the team will make us automatic UCL champions. This squad, with or without Neymar, is good enough to win the treble. Our number one problem is Valverde.

“I was really close [to joining Barca],” he said. “In the second month of my holiday, I had a pina colada in hand and my agent called me to say: ‘Listen, Barcelona are calling you.
“They want you to play for four months and then you can go back to Los Angeles.’

I said to him: ‘Just say yes, I don’t care about money or anything. I’m going to start training tomorrow. Give me two weeks to get my fitness up.’”

So this guy really wanted to play for barca, even if it's for free, but the great Bat and his team had a better option.. K.P Boateng. Interesting, huh?

BroadStreetBull:
see Messi's head

this looks like a photoshop

Not photoshop. Messi waited at the tunnels for him. The guy dey ball o. I hope he sees more minutes.

That hug is HUGE

Excallibur:
Just wondering, what happens if barca b gain promotion to laliga ?

Reserve teams are ineligible to gain promotion. They can't also compete in the Copa dey Rey

funkyjms:

Oriol Busquet

Chrisus:
Busquets to Twenty? Lol this is ridiculous

certainly not Sergio. Oriol Busquet

DeadPresidents:


Doubt it will happen. Thought there was a rule against playing loaned players against the parent club?

That's if it's included in the transfer conditions, I don't think it's a rule. James played against his parent club, Real Madrid, when he was on loan at Bayern.

Valverde: Pass to Messi, Guys

Coutinho: I want to be in Bayern for many years to come...
