Troublemaker1606:
How you as a Barca fan go talk say you no wan make we qualify out of our group, Which kind rap be that? You know how much we go lose financially for that possibility? You go how many of our sponsors e go affect? I know say if we beat inter now chants of Xaviball and x4vineta go flood here, No matter the various injuries and fúckups if you no fit believe in your own team shey na mandem wey dey come troll you go do am for you?
No mind dat guy jawe, not making it out of d group stages is very damaging 2 d future of d club. It might even make our dear club liquidate and we no go hear of barca again.
Maybe he dey think say our club be like those oil money owned clubs like psg and city
I no wan reply am before cause every one of us full here with book of lamentations but when he don dey enter why Roberto go start as if we don don forget the gargantuan injury situation wey hol us for blokos and why we no sign mazraioui, Same way Kessie and Christensen rejected higher offers from other clubs to join us if the same way he rescinded our offer to join bayern wey dey offer big salary normally since them no dey too spend on transfer fees
Na only when we lose we go dey hear why did we let messi leave? Why did Dest leave? Why did we sign Raphinha? Why did we renew Roberto? Why did we pay 50m for a 34 yr old lewandoski? Why didn't we offer mazraioui the salary package he wants ? Why did we employ xavi? "I told you this" and "I told you that"
As if we've quickly forgotten the exact situations that led to all these scenarios

Make we sha no go Europa
I rewatched our match against inter, nothing wey those people play, they just defended well.
If we play well, and take our chances we go flog them. I just wish Memphis was fit, him and balde on that left wing would cause problems.
In fact sef we can win our remaining three games. But if xavi Bleep up again next week, he will be under pressure. Culers no Dey waste time.

"Chief Inter dey suffer key injuries pass us self, Lukaku no go play, Brozovic no go play, Lautaro na probable part of wetin don affect them for SerieA....

Pressure don dey on xavi already anything other than a win will make us need an extraordinary miracle to qualify for the second round but I believe in this team, I go like make gavi chop bench for FDJ and fati or even Ferran starting, Make one of Raphinha/Dembele enter second half to finish tired legs, Inter go still pack bus so we'll have the ball most of the time, Also we gats try outside shots more and more passage of plays in the middle
If you see dragging wey xavi collect for Twitter, even on barça Reddit page ehn person go think say him no be one of our best players ever, the thing suppose shake him body but some kind lamentations no follow abeg, Like say you dey wait make team bleep up just to prove several points

Mazraroui was a free agent. Every free agent must not demand low salary like Chris & Frank. Free agents tend to refuse contract extention with their club cox they're looking @ a fat cheque in another club hence they won't settle 4 peanut.
Talking about wage structure, tell me how much Alba, Pique & Busquet dey collect? Does their salary match their productivity on the pitch?


We're in debt...yet we bought ferran torres , a bench warmer @ City for 60m. City added 5m & paid for Haaland signature. When we complain dey say u don't knw more than xavi...today d same xavi dey bench 60m lord of movement.

If we sold roberto , dest will not go on loan. Atleast dest is a natural RB.

Me complaining of roberto is cox i know his limitation. If we're aiming to win big trophies roberto won't cut it as a RB hence I wanted him to go, to leave Barca. But people like you, andrebaba & firstborn defended Laporta's decision to keep Roberto instead of Dest saying he's on low salary plus he can play in the midfield.


Inter exposed his offensive ability as a RB. Let swap Inter with Bayern, then alfonso Davies or Sane will expose his defensive game.

I defended keeping Roberto because he was an utility player in case of injury, his wage reduction also helped us
See our current RB ranks oga since we didn't get Foyth:
Kounde
Araujo
Bellerin/ Roberto for weaker teams
How many of the aforementioned four are available? Only one, Is it not the one that is available we will use or make we put Dembele for RB? Dest was kicked out for his poor defending, positioning and low output from crosses, It was reported that xavi gave Dest the chance to save himself during preseason but after he was at fault for the two goals against juve that's when baba gave up, I'm sure you also don't know he gave away a penalty on his debut vs Napoli they lost that game, I know say if Dest still dey play for us go fumble for those two games you go add am to your list

The way some of Una dey complain of Roberto sef I no understand. Whether na same match we want h or something.

Roberto didn't even play badly. Among terrible performers of the might I can't say Roberto was chiefly among. It was Alonso's wing that was used to punish us as well as the middle. How many times dem use Roberto wing sef. Unless maybe I don forget things for the match.

No be Dembele be our prime attacker, why you go sayakw him no pass to Dembele. As werey no get sense to beat him man or make accurate passes, who we go blame. Fine Dembele no fit make single better cross, shey dem cut him leg make him no fit make accurate pass to him teammates or person wey close to am. No be lossing ball to opponents and stupidly wack short passes him dey make for that wing.
Make na free Roberto abeg.

Guy, abeg Roberto is an upgrade to Dest. The same werey Dest wey him numerous rubbish don taya person last season. Abeg, Dest of late last season you go swear for am tire.

Having Dest against Bayern and Inter go turn premium tears. No be Dest wey no Sabi anything about positioning. Watch that match against Juve and you go use vex bench that guy for eternity of possible.

Defensive or offensive ability present Dest wey I know is way worse than Roberto. You think say na about dribble be football. No be the same mumu Adama wey Sabi dribble die, to come give final pass or cross na F9.

That left wing/flank was virtually dead, Almost everything was switched to the right, Hardly any movement there cause of the options installed there, Also notice anytime dembele tends to have a bad game we all suffer, Like against Mallorca/Frankfurt he was lost and severally isolated, Also notice it came against low block 3 atb merchants who plan to hit us on the counter
That has seemed to be xavi's kryptonite so far too, Hope he learns from this fast

That left flank was our main Achilles heel on the night. We were only using the right wing so they had time to sit back and recover cos pressure was coming from just one position.

Our middle sef was literally dead except for possession recycling. Raphinha was just a sitting duck there. Alonso sef just dey bezebu for that place.

That's reason why Xavi should teach the team to start taking outside shots. No be all the time na pass pass pass.

check all roberto's pass/cross to lewa inside the box, all of dem failed to connect... there was another lazy pass to raphinha which was easily intercepted by di marco, christensen had to come out...na so he take collect injury.


Generally, what i'm saying is that if the management knew that Alba's time in d team has come to an end, dem 4 try sign a quality RB. No be dis alonslow/roberto/kounde/araujo experiment.

If i go by your logic, alonslow didn't play bad against bayern... i can defend him too.

In all our champions league winning team we always had atleast a quality RB/LB making forward runs, creating goal scoring chances in the final 3rd. Beating his marker in a one on one duel.

I get what you saying but you going too hard on Roberto. They all played rubbish that day. And if we talking about top 5 who played rubbish or anonymous football I don't think Roberto would be in that list.
Raphinha was anonymous, Dembele played trash, Alonso na error 404, Gavi just making stupid boyish fouls and cards, Busquets was quiet as well as Lewandoski.
I also chastised the Alonso preference over Balde consistently on this thread.

The only people who played well that day were our centre backs and Balde and some of the subs. The rest starting lineup na shït.

You're making it seem you ignorant of what the club tried to do in this transfer window if you say the club should have bought top class LB or RB.
Where was the money and time that period?

We all know our main focal point of strengthening was attack, midfield and Central defence.

If you saying Barca wished or plan to strengthen wingbacks this season, then you must be joking. We all knew that was for next season. Ah ahn, no be this season we just see money wey we dey buy players? Barca only wanted backups for those positions and we go full throttle next season for wingbacks.

The only time Barca really pushed for RB was with Foyth and dude later got injured just when Barca was almost getting an agreement with Villarreal. So we all knew na backup sure pass and that was close to when the transfer window came to an end. There wasn't enough time for scouting.
Alba's position was a dependable back up then next season we go for proper personnel.

I don't know how you expect us to strengthen the whole team with the lack of money history we had to contend with for two seasons.
You saw how we struggled and negotiated and battled before we could get Lewandoski, Raphinha, keep Dembele as well as Kounde. All with big money. You think say money go remain to do every single position. You don forget say we even bought these players and initially had hiccups registering them. Kounde had to wait after two match days to play as well as bellerin.

Make we no dey get selective memory amd try to be objective with our dealings with the club.

forget the dead left wing, the honest truth is that dembele isn't good enough, or isn't of the required level. He shits his pants when he's needed most. Take a look at vardrid and their run towards the UCL final last season, even with some modric genius here and there, their plan was "get the ball as fast as possible to vini and let him work his magic alongside benzema". And it was always effective. That can never work with dembele, he'll fail terribly and it's shown time and time again. Imagine attempting 24 crosses and just 4 were successful. If you cross cross tire say e no work you no go try another thing?. Dembele most times play like a brainless robot programmed to do one thing continuously, it's my problem with him. When raphinha switched to the right we could see that he immediately created our best chance of the game. Imagine if he had more time there! And that's solely on Xavi– not switching up things earlier enough.
I'm still optimistic Sha, we can make it out of the group.

I think dembele's problem is consistency rather than quality, There was one passage of play when he went pass two inter players, turned calhanoglu in and out before shooting into the side netting
Also his final decision making sometimes, Now that we've depended on him a lot for service the possibility of complacency will at one time or the other gradually set in, I just wish Fati was less injury prone since ferran is just falling our hands these days
And yes the loss was firstly on xavi

If we sold roberto , dest will not go on loan. Atleast dest is a natural RB.
This Ferran Torres matter don too dey fester for far too long. It's a very controversial matter. But let's try to be objective.

When we bought Ferran Torres, Barca was under a massive injury crises and our forward lineup was populated with teenagers. You don forget Abde, Demir, Fati (who was on and off due to injury), Jutgla etc. Even Dest had to play on right wing in one match.

So the way some of you peeps talk about Torres it seems it's a personal agenda. Probably why FirstbornWds defends him. Same way some of you defend Dembele (me included) and De Jong when dey play premium rubbish.

We had very limited options when we got him from city as well as chronic shortage of experienced forwards. Playing at City solved that under Pep.
Also we're forgetting Torres was a top performer for city the previous season and it's only his injury then that reduced his role. We know how competitive city's team is.
City deal is one of the best deal you'll ever get in the market and that's cos of Pep's influence. City had no reason to sell. Not as if we're paying the money once. We are paying for 3-4 seasons in installments. We just paid about €15mn this summer. Ferrans deal was €55mn iirc.



Asides all this financial rigmarole, Ferran was one of our most productive players last season even if you hate to hear it.
He was our 4th best forward despite playing lesser games. He contributed 13 goals and assists (7G/6A) last season behind Dembele's 15G/A, Memphis Depay's 15G/A and Auba 14G/A.
This is even performing almost equal to ppl who are considerably better than him.


He's just badly out of form. Can he do more? Yes. Should he improve? Yes pls.
So let's die this continuous Lord of Movement bants. It's tiring especially when the arguments are mostly biased and unobjective.

forget the dead left wing, the honest truth is that dembele isn't good enough, or isn't of the required level. He shits his pants when he's needed most. Take a look at vardrid and their run towards the UCL final last season, even with some modric genius here and there, their plan was "get the ball as fast as possible to vini and let him work his magic alongside benzema". And it was always effective. That can never work with dembele, he'll fail terribly and it's shown time and time again. Imagine attempting 24 crosses and just 4 were successful. If you cross cross tire say e no work you no go try another thing?. Dembele most times play like a brainless robot programmed to do one thing continuously, it's my problem with him. When raphinha switched to the right we could see that he immediately created our best chance of the game. Imagine if he had more time there! And that's solely on Xavi– not switching up things earlier enough.
I'm still optimistic Sha, we can make it out of the group.
True, Dembele can painfully disappoint someone when you need him most.
When you need him most especially in UCL games he shits the bed.

The only time of recent memory asides some last season genius Dembele came through was the last two seasons we won Copa del Rey. We for don finish comot that season as Real Madrid and Atletico ja comot as well as Sevilla for quarter finals.

Xavi nearly made me shoot him if I was in that stadium that day. Person gave our best chance of theatch few minutes ago and Xavi remove am within 25mins. I wan craze. Wo Xavi just dey make person vex with useless experiments for the last few games.

But I still believe we ain't going to Europa. The funny thing be say the last time we met this Milan na academy players finish them 2-1 for their home o with Lautaro and Lukaku sef. undecided lipsrsealed

60m for a benchwarmer is never a nice business bro. It was a panic buy. I dey watch City match especially against the big team in epl. I no dey see ferran 4 lineup. For every goal ferran scored last season he probably missed about 3 or 4 clear cut chances. Go rewatch d 4~0 win against madrid. I'll play Depay ahead of ferran.
