This is Barcelona. If you perform well, we'll praise you to the high heavens. If you perform poorly, we'll criticise you to the core.

Even GOAT Messi has been criticised here, so who the hell is Dembele? Àbí you want us to dig out comments. Tell me a Barca player that hasn't been criticised for poor performance.

Go to Chelsea thread and see confirm criticism of their players. Lukaku wey dem buy for almost 100m is feeling the heat. Havertz kor? Ziyech, name them. That's why that club is doing well.

But we shouldn't criticise Ferran because of link-up but zero output? Or because he's played less than 10 matches shey? No wonder we are now struggling to win trophies. We love to celebrate mediocrity.

We really love to celebrate mediocrity ,dembele is a clear example of celebrating mediocrity

tesppidd:
I like Dembele; and with a good run of games he could have drastically improved on his finishing.

But the injuries just wouldn't let him.!

Of what use is a player who would qualify you to the quarter finals and then miss the semi finals and finals through an injury?

It would be counter productive to bank on him or build a team around him.


Then his treachery! I've not seen this much treachery since Van Persie with Arsenal.

RVP was always injured and Arsene Wenger and Arsenal always stood by him and never gave up on him.

About the very first time he was able to stay fit for a long spell he then felt he was too good for Arsenal and ran off to Man U.

That's Dembele of today.

Dembele could have been Messi's successor if he managed to stay healthy.
His finishing would have fallen in place naturally.

Dembele cannot be a neymar successor with injury free let alone Messi

Bringing you Ferran's masterclass for Napoli.

Oga go and sit down.

You're not a Barca fan. I don't know why you're bothered so much about someone who missed 3 presentable chances. None of them is even 1v1 with the goalkeeper.

All in their prime, what's y'all choice?

I feel blessed to have watched all three in their prime as a cules.
Suarez was a beast.
David villa Iker casillas no fit forget this guy. Dat thunder strike during the super copa day year
Samuel eto’o was decent for us . Forlan scooping d top scorer award on d very last day was painful.

My pick: Play Suarez -Bench villa- sell eto’o

Or they will say you are a Madrid fan.

I cannot forget the heroics of Eto'o in the 2006 Champions League final.

Can you?

Remember that what Eto'o played at Barcelona helped him in winning a couple of the African Player of the Year awards.

Eto'o scored in two Champions League finals for Barcelona.

He came third for the FIFA World Player of the Year in 2005.

He went to Inter and achieved big too, I hope I can use the word big.

Eto'o is the only player dead or alive to win Treble back-to-back. Dude has been scoring goals right from Real Mallorca dragging them to Copa del Rey title.

How can I forget his winning goal against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in 2006?

Well I didn't watch etoo in Mallorca, only in barça alongside ronaldinho and teenage messi and I really respect him cause he really did his best to put us in the summit of club football with his pace and strength but I'll rather pick Suarez (Liverpool and early Barca version) ahead of him, That man could literally score goals from anywhere, The only one to break the messi-duolopy in la liga to win the pichichi

FirstbornWds:
An unpopular opinion.

Why can't we try to play Eric as a DM seeing how he loves to progress the ball and his knack for long balls. FDJ doesn't seem to have that capacity as it is and we need a DM ASAP.

The same was done to Kimmich

If it comes to that, I rather prefer 40 years old busquets ahead of him, Him playing dm would even disgrace him more as he might be easily outmuscled and disgraced, Garcia really has to work on his physicality to stamp his authority since he doesn't have the height and pace advantage cause his limitations are too diverse, But I strangely still believe there's still a great defender within him, he just has to work on himself both mentally and physically

I don't think Terran should be benched, you should really wonder why he's always at the receiving end of those final passes,he knows how to pick spaces, run into them while still avoiding the offside trap. In my opinion,I think continuous run of games is what he needs to click, we knew him to be very clinical at City.

There are different factors that might be affecting him, probably change of team or something, take Thibaut Courtios as example,piss poor when he first joined, conceding goals with reckless abandon but now he's the best in the league no doubt with a very thin list of goalkeepers rated above him in world football. Mark my words,Terran Torres will come good.

As for that idiot Dembele,I don't even know what to say, it's now that he's leaving he's playing like prime Neymar, stupid boy,I honestly wish he somehow stays,I enjoyed the last 20 minutes of yesterday's game honestly, intense pressure mounted on Napoli's defense, Pedri and Gavi sha, wishing Ansu Fati speedy recovery.

Eto’o did well in Barca and inter colors and scored plenty of goals. I respect him a lot. David villa was a torn in the flesh for both Barca and Madrid while playing for Valencia. He’s the only No.9 aside Suarez to av form a good partnership with Messi. His only undoing was that injury he got during the club World Cup. Man was made Spain top 9 while playing for Valencia (not Madrid, not barca). Dude is Spain all time top scorer. I prefer Villa ooo

The thing is Villa's prime was actually at Valencia and for Spanish national team from 2006 - 2010. The Barca version of Villa was already on decline.

Eto and Suarez were big game players. Both scored regularly against Madrid, Atletico & Valencia . I think Villa only scored a single goal against Madrid while with Barca and in the UCL final.

Villa wasn't done in whilst playing for Barcelona please. He was an absolute beast

And alot of people here were shouting they won't start criticizing the coach till prolly mid next season. You've all forgotten that we started this season with a certain Koeman as head coach.
Xavi has done an applaudable job within a short time. We'll get there, I believe.. But, with time

FirstbornWds:

Not denying he was still very good for Barca especially in his first season. But only saying his hottest years were between 2006 - 2010 for Valencia and Spain.

I remember that he came to Barca with reputation of hottest striker in the world but even after first season there were some complaints about him not fully living up to expectation.

7 shots off target. Overrated player that is being protected. Xavi will still play him 90mins after woeful performance. We are not ready to roll with the big guys.
