You could say the first 20 minutes or thereabouts was our worst performance of the season, but we gradually grew into the game.
Well said..

Make I know lie, Bayern really know how to press... like their pressing is world class. We got choked at home especially in the first 30mins and had to grow into the game and be more clinical. Just look at the 4th goal from Ralph.

We won but credit to Kompany. The next team they meet will suffer!
The only reason their pressing didn't work was cos our players knew exactly how to commit. The only fearful part of yesterday game was the 20 minutes after we scored. I was worried sick that we showed too much nervousness and Bayern capitalized on it. Once we grew into the game, the worries subsided.

Kudos to our defenders for standing toe-to-toe in 1v1 situations too. Balde utilized dis speed to the fullest last night and that completely annihilated Oliseh from the game. Even Kounde found a way to neutralize Gnabry after conceding that cross that allowed the first goal and it was all blazing good from there.

Even Flick Don know say he's passive in goals contribution ;

I rate my players in big matches like UCL nights, el-Clasico and major finals, not against the Levantes and Espanyols of this world. That's why I'll always place Iniesta ahead of Xavi in my heart.
Without players like Pedri in that midfield yesterday Bayern for ride even after those early 20 mins, beating their press effortlessly with quick thinking and pausa, person wey he go dey move ball for your front but it'll be hard to collect it, even that 3rd goal watch how he shifted the ball away from his marker before he gave the ball to yamal who threw it to Raphinha,you saw Pedri yesterday I saw iniesta

No team is perfect bro, we literally controlled the early proceedings and created numerous chances in this same fixture two years ago at the Allianz arena only to lose 2-0, the Koko is that we grew into the game and thrashed them, beating a team with so much talent and brutality as Bayern is a really big feat

FDJ should just do us a solid by getting himself sold in the January window. Go out on a high. Because we don't really need him in that midfield again. He is supplus to requirement. He should just volunteer to be sold. We'll be very happy if he does this tiny favour for us.

Every body say it.... The commentators on Nigeria Info made a fine speech about that dribble. One werey say na "acupuncture". grin grin
Let's just hope for an injury free career for our star boy so he reaches the almost top where people with his kind of talent are supposed to be, I always hoped he would shine after following him at lamasia but I never expected it to be this soon, this is something special we're witnessing

He won't leave in January not with the way we're currently playing, infact I think he won't leave till maybe when his contract expires, he might see small chances now to ball but if bernal comes back it would be tighter, he played well yesterday sha

Well maybe then. But he must also cut down that his huge salary. Its too much compared to his importance and performance.

I think better for us. We get good money for him and he goes somewhere to twist and turn.

It depends on what we want and priority. He's on a massive wages, injury prone and does the things the others can do.

I mean we have Gavi, Pedri, Dejong, Casado and Bernal* for two positions. We have Olomo/Fermin for #10 role....a position Ralph can also play. Let's not forget that Christensen can also play DM when required.

So for (3) three positions. I.e the AM, CM and DM we have about (8 )eight players if you include Christensen. I didn't even add Garcia who can also do a job at DM.

One or even two of all the players mentioned above will leave at the end of this season or next. No way we keep them all.

Dejong should leave but the board will have their own idea...

Bimmarlykay:
Abduleez..1 what do think about our yesterday offside trap and high line?

In my own opinion I don't like it against teams that knows how to break away from defenders, or have midfielders with high I.Q like De bruyne...at a point it looked like Bayern was about to equalize and dismantle us i became angry and scared,until we grew into the game again.... also second-half was better Kounde and Balde didn't overlap or put any foot wrong especially Kounde he was there to clear any ball. cool
Like I said.... The game is a high risk, high reward setup. I felt we used it really well. We should come to understand that offsides is very much part of the plan of Flick's playing system at Barca and our players seems to be adapting to it the better every match day.
During the last 20 mins of the game, I was just grinning with joy when I see the offside trap...they were many instances where I saw our defenders on a perfectly straight line while Bayern was attacking. You could feel it was intentional to get them committing errors.

The effectiveness of this system will be fully judged when I get to see how we fare against Madrid this weekend. Since they have very fast wingers and good feeders of the ball like Bellingham.

One thing I love about this team. They're very calm and stick to plan without the panicking we're known for. Had it been our previous sides with that Bayern equaliser na 8-2 scenario all again. As soon as that goal enter I was livid cos we had already surrendered the ball to them. Shit felt like Déjà vu.

On Balde and Kounde, that's why I told you, the coach just needs a few instructions or two and like I said Flick is a good adapter and tactician. Stopped the unnecessary runs and we made them look ordinary.

The only reason Bayern looked like they had a chance in that first few minutes of the 1st half was because we surrendered possession to them. We were being too cautious and didn't play our game. But that changed when we started to actually use our midfielders.

One thing I also note about this team is that our second half are definitely always better than the first. We always grow into the game.

ThierryJay:
It's the intensity and vertical play that Hansi has brought into our team and how he has been able to unleash the confidence of players like Raphina, Casado, Kounde, the Paus, Inigo etc. These are the biggest drivers for our increased scoring rate.

Instead of boring sideway passes, our defenders now frequently make direct forward passes to bypass midfield blocks and create chances during sudden transition phases. The blessed Cubarsi is a great example of this.

A great coach makes his players believe and execute beyond themselves. Raphina's transformation has been extraordinary.

I feel like Laporta should just call Xavi and fire him again for not firing him much earlier. We didn't know we had diamonds covered in mud.
I always knew we had the team and talent to perform well. We just needed an experienced man on the job who has confidence in his team.
No be person wey go dey tell press all the time "we can't compete with the best in Europe". Such defeatist mentality.
Person choke against Frankfurt, Manure and PSG the most painful of all. Very useless team na im everybody dey beat like mumu, na im Xavi no fit beat with two goals advantage. Werey still collect card dey talk rubbish.

I dey shout that time say all this excuses say dem no give am players na lamba. Who Flick buy except Olmo? The player no even dey pitch when Bayern chop all the 4 goals. What does that tell you??

That's why I always ask, which team Girona get wey beat us like people wey thief last season? Shaktar and fvvking Royal Antwerp nko?
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Derumklala12(m): 6:23pm On Oct 24, 2024
The standards are impossible
I'm seeing a poll for the current best manager.

And ppl are saying flick ain't close that he has to beat madrid, inter Milan, man city etc.
But I noticed they Didn't add Bayern.

Why a pained sight 🤣🤣

You have said it all. There's no time I didn't attack Xavi on this thread on his poor management of the team. I hated his psychological and mental guts on playing down the team before and after a major match.

Nonsense!

Time has surely vindicated those concerns. Though I feel it's understandable to give one of our very own a long rope to pull in hopes that it will eventually work. But mehn, those were very dark days where no-name clubs were happy to meet us with assurance of getting something out.

I mean, Xavi got us genuinely believing our progress relied on an old Christensen that Chelsea left behind to move forward. Now, all the apprehension about his absence has disappeared. A lot of Xavi's excuses were dummies he sold to fans just because we hoped there was a streak of Pep residing in him. What a mirage!
