I am.never going to dispute his positioning. It's apt. At some point I wondered why he was the only player receiving those crosses when he wasn't even the main striker. His build-up isn't talked about enough tonight. I just want this guy to become a beast already and his only option for doing that is to start scoring goals.

Exactly. He was running from the Left wing to get those chances because he was reading the Napoli defence well. Me I know he is better than this at finishing chances because I saw him at City. Which is why I feel he will still come good in finishing his chances.

Rubbish. I am not a Barca fan but even I could see that the penalty Adama got was lucky as the cross itself was bad. The defenders fingers barely touched the ball even though it was enough to get VAR to review it. If you see the truth, say it as it is.

no wonder. You didn't watch the game. No need to argue with you. Sefini

OhBritannia:
Jeez!!!!!!!!!
What tha fork are you saying?
Dembele that came on in the second half was better than his entire existence as a footballer even gavi, Pedri were all better than him.
Positioning play my foot when he can't score.
While positioning make you qualify?
It's better he don't even position and score goals than position and miss chances.
Ogun kill positioning play without goals.

Nonsense!!!!

Dembele wey una don Dey insult since him come Barca

You are a confused man

Since we purchase dembele for more than 100 million has he showed any sign of even having a good end product ?

There's no denying that Ferran was a fine finisher in City and Spain. But the problem now is why he isn't replicating the same energy here.

He just arrived .and if you check it his stats has been okay

Android22:
That is where the intelligence of a player comes in. If they are doubling up on you [Adama] it means you should exploit the channels with a pass since it means a barca player will be unmarked. That was what Dembele did when he came on. He was linking up quicker which was helping Barca find that open man which happened to consistently be Ferran. So the half full narrative is, if Barca creates high quality chances like this in the return leg, Barca will most probably win it.

I agree 100%

This guy was just too devasted

Intelligent play with nothing to show. Why are Barca fans like this. How many games have Adama been saving y'all asses but you guys are excusing Torres that has been missing open chances. We shall see sha. Waiting for the wailings eventually. Na here we dey

Tellwhat:
Dembele na real asset even when he messes up. Injury really deprive us from this boy talent.

With the way things are going e go take time before Barca get this kind talent again.

Barca needs to find way and prepare money for Haaland and invest top notch medical personnels on ansu fati to make sure injury no disturb the guy


This Torres fellow no dey inspire at all and our defence is weak can't even have a clean sheet streak

Which kind stupid asset ,apart from being injured which is not his fault ,dembele has a poor end product

Which kind stupid talent ,what did he do for this club when he was here that you are saying it will take time before we get such talent

If Messi no win march for us the guy no fit do anything

Abeg make I hear word

I won't be surprised if Pendu united thrashes them next week, See la liga champs losing to levante firmly rooted to the bottom of the table with two wins only

lol

FirstbornWds:
Personally, I think Xavi should have subbed him out for Luuk DeJong rather than Auba. Maybe the latter would have buried those chances easily.

Oh Fati

Where art thou??

FirstbornWds:
This guy was just too devasted

After seeing these pictures, I'll sheath my sword and hope for an improvement at goal.

ItisHi:
if not for Adama, you would have been half way out of this tourney. Your overrated Torres will only score after getting 8 chances on goal. This is not the first time he is this wasteful. The earlier you guys accept you signed a low budget Morata, the better for this club.

Imagine you as a psg fan

You would have killed mbappe and Neymar for the chances missed against Bayern in the champions league final

Low budget morata doesn’t look like an insult ,as he has played for almost all top clubs

I think we should calm down with this Ferran Torres crucifixion. Fine he cost us at least 3 goals but he was the only active attacker we had in the match asides Dembele (which was a sub).

The guy was overly wasteful tonight but why we dey out body for am na cos Aubameyang was literally useless too sef. What did Auba do with his time in the pitch. All the intelligent runs, finding spaces and getting into the box was all Torres.

How come anytime Barca players crossed the ball into the net it was always meeting Torres. Wetin Auba wey be the the STRIKER dey do for pitch?
If you watched, there was no single cross that happened on the pitch that Torres wasn't in the box except when Luuk Came in. Even at that he was always around. Even Adama wey we dey hype sef was totally mute.
Fine he was marked by two players but his passes was piss poor and his reading of the game was subpar. They were instances were he could have laid off a pass to free a player but he hesitated and later lost the ball. The fvvk was that for.

At least Ferran had his runs, link up and spaces.

tesppidd:

That boy would have easily buried those chances with his eyes closed.

E be like person jinx am on his way to this match cos I no understand.
His stats are better than almost all our forwards this season except Fati and maybe Luuk in 2022.

You're just bitter.

I'll say it any day, Dembele is barcelona's best attacker.
Name one attacker better than him in this squad. Just one.
He is just a victim of ill luck. Injuries all the time.
If he had fitness consistency,i bet he'll be one of the most sought players in the world and barca would be fighting tooth and nails to even keep him

This is just an exaggeration taken too far. Same Dembele that we all know.

Abeg, rest.

He knew he had the key to the win and he lost it.
He knew he could have done better.

See, I won't attack Torres. That boy is intelligent. I don't know why people fail to see this.

If Dembele had ferran's footballing sense, and no injury, he would be part of top 10 players.

Baba, jury is out on Ferran whether you like it or not. We've been fooled twice with Coutinho and Dembele. We can only hope that Ferran doesn't end up like them.

Because if Ferran clicks and Fati is fit, our attack will be so hot and goals will flow from every area of the pitch.

How can I be bitter about dembele I have always supported

Best attacker with poor end product

Look at Depay that didn’t fit into our system ,look at his goals ,look at injured ansu fati

What is dembele good at actually

Be here celebrating dembele mediocrity while players like mbappe keeps going higher

Look at Vinicius of yesterday is now a world beater

Dembele best Barca season was last season where he managed 44 games with 11 goals and 5 assists

If choosing not to be stupid means bitter then i agree I am bitter

Maybe you paid 150 million for such stats when he is fit

The joke is on the fans here that are criticising Torres that hasn't lasted up to 2 months in the club for missing chances simply because we bought him 55million. Dembele was bought for over 140million and after 4 and half years at the club, he can't boast up to 30 goals...

Criticism is part of life. I'm 100% sure that every football pundit will criticise Ferran's tonight's poor performance at goal.

I don't want him to end up like Dembele and Coutinho after their huge price tag.

Low budget morata doesn’t look like an insult ,as he has played for almost all top clubs

not intended as an insult but that is the reality on ground. He is a low budget Morata and you know I am not kidding

He and dembele and coutinho should not be on the same sentence

Dembele and coutinho cost more than double of his amount ,he is also not earning crazy wages like them

Vinicius? Mbappe?

They play for barca, aye? Or they've suffered injuries like Dembele.
No one is celebrating is mediocrity. Even with his poor career at the club, there's always joy to see him come on because he makes things happen.


Just rest abeg. I said mention a better attacker than Dembele in the squad.

When dembele was fit last season ,did he give you half of Vinicius current performance? Yes or no

He played 43 games last season so he was injury free then

Joy to see him come on and dribble left and right and ballon the ballon

He has been doing nonsense for 4 years ,but Na ferran Torres wey never play reach 10 games be your problem

Let's just hope that we don't lose by a single goal margin in the return leg to avoid the IFs.
