I swear . You know see as dem Dey double mark am yesterday ? He’s our greatest threat and many clubs will start double marking him steadily . All our players Dey try right now apart from Araujo , I felt relieved when he was subbed off bcoz he no Dey coordinated at all .
Let’s leave yamal talk for now

Let’s talk about what cubarsi is doing at the defense at the age of 18 now

I like the experiment wey that boy Dey do ,see that stylish pass to kounde nah grin

Let’s not forget on 31 games he has scored 11 goals and 14 assists which makes it 25 G/A

He is a fearless kid who can take on anyone ,he should continue those experiment abeg
Make him continue dey do am jare, no guts no glory! this is how world-beaters are made so long as he doesn't do it close to our goal grin

It is rather unfair that a 17 year is almost single handedly shouldering the creative responsibilities of our frontline..

Raphinha can't dribble properly to save his life same for lewandowski and ferran, the opposition knows this that's why they are starting to double team lamine yamal and making it harder for him to breakthrough.. apart from lamine, balde is the only one that brings the much needed dynamism to our attack from the flank and he's a fvcking defender

That's why I'm off the opinion that our next nine must be a good dribbler that can create space for himself and others

Dribbling is not outdated, we need more dribbers in our attack the same way Madrid has Vinicius, Rodrigo and Kylian

Leave Althese Ungrateful Barca fans . Dem go just Dey talk SHIT ! How many 17 year old fit Dey give the kind performance that small boy Dey give us every week ? The few weeks wey he injure , our attack crumble instantly . The only thing these entitled set of fans sabi do na to COMPLAIN and NAG ! You can’t just satisfy them and it’s really annoying when I hear them talking shit once a player has some bad games .

Yamal hardly have bad games sef so what’s the complain for ?
I don't think they are being ungrateful, it just that the boy has raised the bar with his performances and fans wants to see that level week in week out.

I know he's not Messi (no one is) , but that boy is the closest thing we have to a Lionel Messi in our team at the moment and must be protected...so if he looses the ball while dribbling let others pursue and get it back, what are they there for grin

And he's not even had a terrible game so far just 2 average games and he even scored in one of those and almost scored yesterday as well..

I know he's a poor man's Messi, but that's the only type of Messi there is at the moment grin..even the real Messi no near lamine level at 17 .

With proper coaching and with luck on his side he can become a generational player.. he's already world class.
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Ijustwantto(m): 1:00pm On Feb 10, 2025
you shouldn't call the fans calling for messi to be benched "foolish". If they want him benched, there is nothing wrong with that. It's their opinion.
To be a messi fan is one thing, to be a barca fan is another thing.
You're making it look as if leo should always be in the first eleven except injured. Na for there ego dey start.

Althese kind talks na make dem say Barca no Dey appreciate their legends . Before Messi leave Barca , some foolish fans for this same thread Dey talk that time say make dem bench Messi , make dem sell am just bcoz he had average games for some time . Even those Messi average games then na some people 8/10 on a norms . Make una Dey calm down with some criticism bcoz no player is a robot . But Yamal has been very consistent since the Euros up till this moment .

Lamine is still a child, and he’ll only get better as he continues to experiment with his game.

I’d much rather see him keep making these audacious attempts, failing and figuring out what works for him than play it safe and turn into another pass-back merchant like Grealish or start spamming crosses like Ziyech.

I remember feeling the same frustration with Balde last season with his deep runs, dribbles, and passes but he's significantly improved .

Sometimes, we forget that Lamine is only 17 and already one of the best players in the world. Normally, he won’t be 10/10 in every match.

If he keeps doing what he's doing and avoids major injuries , we could be looking at a future Ballon d’Or winner in the next three years.

Make Una cut my boy some slack...
Watched Messi to long to know that i would never compare Yamal or any other player to Messi, they would never be till maybe 100years grin,let Yamal create his own history...but Barca fans want a Messi in Yamal its only normal.

But a messi in an 18-yard box be it prime or now don't joke with goals or experiment on goals, he has already decided just needs implement it...this what i want from Yamal.

My major prayer for Yamal is for him to find his scoring mojo cuz of days Raph/Lewa/Ferran no score other aspect of him his great.

Still imagining how Guler vs Yamal's debate died on instant arrival...

Na why i dey pray make yamal quickly elevate win Balon d Or he shouldn't give that fanbase space for comparison,cus those Madridtards will wait till Guler/Endrick/Rodrigo infact all their forward to have a carry along UCL or something and hey!!!! They bring back the comparison...they always do.😁

Nah, yamal is already better than 17 year old Messi... maybe not as talented and almost certainly a much lower ceiling than the G.O.A.T but in terms of impact and overall influence on the game at 17, yamal is Clear

Did you watch a teenage Messi ? Always trying to nutmeg and dribble everyone at any opportunity and looking to chip the goalkeeper every time... Leo didn't start out being efficient in front of goal he improved with time as well as in other areas such as passing, free kicks etc.

Lamine is just being a 17 year old...he needs highlights to brag with to his friends grin na why him head dey swell anytime the crowd applauds him.

Make Una allow the boy drimmmble jare , some of us na dinho's drimmmbling make us start to support Barca. grin

Like you, I only hope he works on his shooting to increase his goal threat.. alot of times , he creates spaces with his skills only to release weakass shots.

17 year old Messi was being benched by ludovic guilly and didn’t even play much ,18 year old Messi didn’t even score nor assist much

Messi madness fully started from 19 and since then nobody be him mate .

I watched Messi from day 1 as a Laliga OG ,I remember when Messi take handball score for Laliga like maradona 😁

How Messi ended up like this is what I can’t explain ,the greatness too choke

Yeahh initially it can be frustrating. Yes he is only 17years old but football is a such a very big business worth millions of euros per matchday. You don't want to come there and be seeing some kid playing around with the ball, all in the name of experiment.

You have to find that balance between trying something audacious and feeding a simple pass or a cross which makes your team to win a match. Alot of money and emotions are involved here.

For example, our next week match in Montjuic, starts at 94 euros before tax. When fans pay these money, they want entertainment and they also want the team to win the match.

I am happy that Lamine Yamal takes his football seriously and his decision making is very good. But I will prefer he cuts out some flamboyancy that's beginning to creep into his game.

Dribbling is not outdated, we need more dribbers in our attack the same way Madrid has Vinicius, Rodrigo and Kylian
You need different profiles in a team to make it work. Everybody in the attack cannot be dribblers and creators. You need players who can dominate the box 18 and battle all game with defenders. You need people who can put the ball at the back of the net. You need players who can thrive in half-spaces. These are all different profiles a team should possess.

Besides, Raphinha does not play in the wing like Lamine Yamal. He plays more inside. Why? Because that's what the team needs. This way, he allows Balde to dominate the whole left flank while he tucks in to score more goal.

Yes Real Madrid has all those dribblers but you would think they should then win all their matches but this is not the case because the profiles are not complimentary to each other especially when the game state changes.

I prefer Barca's more dynamic, richer profile in attack than Real Madrid's dribbling trio. You need a team who brings different things. That's also why I love our midfield. Each of the players offers different things at different game state.

Game state is very very necessary. That was why Gavi couldn't thrive yesterday against Sevilla but Fermin came on and shone because the game-state favored a player who could make a late run into the box 18 and try to notch a goal.

You can praise pedri without trying to diss someone else ,and I know it’s yamal ,na you know your agenda ,that kid is never selfish and throughout the season he never had any bad game ,there is a reason he is our top creator .

Pedri
Yamal
Raphinha
Cubarsi

IMO None of this players above have done anything that’s worth criticizing this season

Shout out to Martinez balde kounde and lewandowski also

Lolz the whole world is in awe of Pedri. Many even describe him now as currently the best central midfielder in the world ahead of the likes of Joshua Kimmich and Martin Odegaard.

Yes he did struggle last season and the season before that but you will always know he needed more consistency with his fitness and if he could achieve some consistency in that front, we could have a very generational midfielder in our hands.

I am very glad everyone sees that now.
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by andrewbaba44: 9:58am On Feb 11, 2025
You no go praise pedri ke ,he is a cm and you need to watch him to know how good he is and see how he controls the game ,he has always been good since koeman days ,Messi loves him ,they even got good connection on the pitch

He is better now under flick ,but if you pretend he hasn’t been good then you are lying to yourself ,let’s also not forget fitness issues

He was the best young player at the euro 2020 at age 18 ,he kept someone like Thiago on the bench all tournament

If you Dey find midfielder wey go Dey give you goals then fermin Lopez Dey for you as that’s not the job of pedri who plays deeper 👌

Every objective Culer knows that Yamal has been trying to force things since the turn of the year. I don't care if you say he's 17 or learning, we want to win trophies and i don't want a situation whereby his newly attained habit of ball hogging costs us as we approach the crucial point of the season. He should play like the Yamal of last year who was renowned for his wonderful decision making at his age.
I hope flick tells him to tone it down a notch.

It's not even a matter of the Sevilla game, he's been ball hogging and making silly decisions on the ball for the past few games, objective culers just got fed up of it all now cuz it's happening consistently. I love Yamal, I'll be the first to praise him to the high heavens for his talents and I'll also be the first to criticise him when annoying shit like this start creeping into his game as it's happening now angry

i hope flick has a word with him concerning this.

I'll personally prefer Victor from sporting or Isak ..I love strikers/forwards that are very technically and can create when necessary that's why MSN was very deadly as no one player carried the entire burden to make things happen upfront.

I know JP will argue that we need finishers in the team, but dribbling and close control are skillsets and not a role and it doesn't impact negatively on your abilities to convert chances .

I think the funds required to sign Isak is going to be way too high. Newcastle signed him for 70m pounds I think.

Given the difficult market currently as regards elite strikers, I would imagine they won't sell for anything less that double that price.

As for my choice, I haven't seen much of Gyrokees to make up my mind. I also love Alexander Isak but I don't think we can sign him. He's very technical but he also knows his first job is to occupy the box and finish off chances.
