Is it me or have I noticed a new tactical shift on our wingback

They're not overlapping as frequent, they're inverting more often
Kounde was basically a box to box today
And he was absolutely amazing

So with all these goals galore, Ferran no see anything score. Baba just dey do wetin go dey make fans continue dey swear for am.

AirBere:
He's still good but as a CM. As a DM, you can as well put a training cone there and the result won't change. Abysmal defensive awareness.

he should be going
chelsea can come for him
very fit for your system

Bernal assist??
What a return

My take on the match.

Casado over de jong. Although de jong is a better passer. I need Casado against Newscastle, nigga is good as winning the ball.

Marc Bernal should gradually be incorporated into the team, let his confidence build.

I no wan see Rashford play anything for this Barca.

Lewandowski still has it in him. Let lewandowski be a starter.. ferran can be coming in for him.

Fermin Lopez is very daring, I love him for that.

If Lamine Yamal is not back by Thursday. Let Fermin Lopez, Lewandowski and Raphinha lead the attack.

With Fermin Lopez on the left and Raphinha on the Right. Lewandowski upfront.

I'm still seriously surprised how that guy still gets fans up till today. And dem plenty.

I went to the viewing centre today after a long hiatus from there to feel the rush once more and I still dey see people defend this turning stick.

Some were even trying to malign Casado. Like how? There's no defensive metric where De Jong comes out tops over Casado. NONE. So how that guy dey do am, still dey get fans up till this day.

I'd say maybe we didn't have much options back in the days, that's why some fans still had a soft spot for him cos of limitations, but now wey we get good options to replace am, some still dey resist highlighting his deficiencies. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

I just dey vex today...... Well, I made it my duty to highlight and complain of every single De Jong's deficiencies at the centre today. Make him fans vex knack head for wall....e no concern me.

I dey tell people see as defence free, dey do wetin dem dey do so tey Kounde go easily fit among the 3 best players of this match — mind you not by defending masterpieces but by attacking contributions and passing distribution.

I want this guy sold next season no matter what.
He's a good player, a solid one at CM at that. But presently his position is surplus to requirement and we need him for DM not CM. Cos how Pedri go dey outrank you by a mile in interceptions? How? Wetin come be your work as DM for pitch?

Flick go learn the hard way sha..... There's some players who you can't polish past their potential cos they don't have past that to give.

If the guy even dey give good output for chances and assist for front, I no go too vex. But wetin him dey provide gan gan asides turning sideways and passing sideways or running with the ball without a decisive final pass?

Let's not forget that this is the team's first home match of the season. We have been playing away for the 1st three games of the season. Now, we going to play another home game, this time against Getafe next weekend.

Same way Okocha(taught Dinho how to play football lmao) get fans till tomorrow.


I think the way Dejong moves with the ball and his headless running and activity is what's deceiving people including managers. Yes managers can also have poor judgement.

Dejong will start Vs Newcastle nah, defence will return to basket, his fans will act surprised. Same way Enzzo dey suffer Caicedo, nah so Dejong dey suffer Pedri.

His awareness as a DM is absolutely shocking, nah why as Busquet leave barca, Xavi rush go buy washed Romeu for that DM position since there was no money for his preferred choice Zubi.

fatherofnone:

As a CM, paired with Caicedo I don't mind. That's where he made his name. But you see DM, I'll prefer to play Disasi there if Dejong is the other option

I just don't trust this guy in any defensive position. No way I trust him. Despite his height, he's a weakling in the air.

Rashford, Feran Torress should cover their face in big shame. I hope they watched as Raphinha and Lewadowski were both making sure they convert every chance by every means possible. Rashford and Feran were both hellbent in wasting every chance possible if not for Fermin.

Lewandowski is only not starting because he just returned from injury ,he used Poland to recover fully before this game

as least he produced an assist, Ungrateful fan

i hear nou camp is not ready because them never settle govt

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Curbasi passing accuracy is world class...

Can FDJ watch him and learn? Imagine a defender, a center back creating more chances than a midfielder?

what is that guy still doing at barca

jpmoriarti:
What a thunderbolt from Fermin Lopez!!! And with his weak left-foot.

2 goals tonight for the Andalusian. Absolutely sensational strike.

3 - 0

You are laughing now but you wanted to sell him to chelsea

Katcall:

Lmao..... Troll, go find somewhere sleep. Try dey rest.


I'm the biggest Ferran Torres fan here, so na rubbish you just typed there. 🌚

Katcall:

He wanted to sell fermin for dustbin money keep only Dani holy ghost
And dro

Katcall:

Yes if Chelsea gave us like 80m euros, we would've been a fool not to cash in. Selling him for that amount, would have solved all the club's financial issues and probably we could have signed a defender with the money as well.

But lovely that he is still around and banging in the goals. That's what we want to see.

Katcall:

Go settle govt on behalf of Barca na.

We're going back after this weekend against getafe

I don’t think so. Against Real Sociedad is what everyone is saying now. So let’s see

Katcall:
wetin Rashford do you

He's not suited to our style of play.. We can't be benching people who will make meaningful impact for someone we are "hoping" will do well.

andrewbaba44:

Yeah

Dejong made his name as a CM at Ajax paired with Lasser Shone who played as a DM. As a CM, Dejong is fine. But you see that DM position, he's sooooooo baaad. Even Disasi will do a better job. Or better still, a training cone.

Dejong 🤝 Caicedo is a very good midfield pairing. I'll actually love this to be honest provided he's at CM and not DM.

i like the way you talk
yoruba will say " sha te owo wa"

Rashford has da la Fuente to thank
Cuz he might get a 2nd start against Newcastle

Another Real Madrid player sent off tonight. Who’re they going to write a letter to this time? NATO? Donald Trump? God?
