andrewbaba44:You have no idea bro. |

andrewbaba44:Bro forget this yarn. There’s nothing special with Liverpool that Atletico cannot destroy. Even Arsenal self some years back dare not talk when any La-liga team is talking. It’s just the unending confusion and BS going on in laliga of recent that’s destroyed many of the teams in European competition. I’m not expecting anything spectacular from any of the teams across Europe this season by the way. Not even from Barcelona self. But don’t forget Villarreal defeated Arsenal and Manchester in 2021 here. Bilbao isn’t really a team made for European competition by the way. Doesn’t seems their forte. yea laliga teams are all struggling for now but nothing special about Liverpool that Atletico can’t beat them sha. |

Osebanjo:I agree there is nothing special about Liverpool ,so what is special about atletico too ? A team that cannot dominate elche ,despite Liverpool getting a late winner ,I still didn’t expect anything from atletico As for bilbao those ones no Kuku sabi anything ,if you no fit beat last season Man U ,na arsenal you wan come beat ,I wish real betis made it to the ucl instead of those bums and the European bottler they parade as a coach |

andrewbaba44:Atletico was not able to sign any ceiling raiser kind of player in their team. Someone close to the level of Antoine Greziemman. Just a bunch of average players I never even heard of. However, I thought Atletico were very good against Liverpool yesterday. They went toe-toe with the premier big spenders, who splashed almost 500m pounds in the transfer window. If they had started better, they could have come away with a good results. |

jpmoriarti:They did, you only feel they didn't because they didn't cost like those in EPL. Thiago Amada is now a starter for Argentina, Alex Baena is the best creator in Laliga. One of the best ball progressors Cardoso plays for them. He joined this season. Wirzt cost Liverpool arms and legs but he's not much better than Baena who cost way less. Baena doesn't have the aesthetics but he's a way serious creator and better work rate than Wirzt. The only excuse for Tico is that, they missed out on Cardoso, Beana, Alavarez and Thiago Amada. But considering who's their coach, I think they still lose the game easily. Take Simeone to Liverpool with same players and take Slot to Tico and the result still wouldn't change in my opinion. They were without four(4) starters in Baena, Amada, Cardoso and Alvarez so them really try if you ask me. Can you imagine Barca or Liverpool without 4 starters in a game Vs PSG? Just Balde and Kounde last season and Ur UCL dreams vanished. So coaching is also key. It's why Barca despite playing with same team, looked far more stronger than the Barca Xavi coached. |

jpmoriarti:Alex baena is what ? Lmao |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by andrewbaba44: 11:27am On Sep 18, 2025 |
AirBere:Louder o |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by jpmoriarti(m): 11:56am On Sep 18, 2025 |
AirBere:Yes Baena might be a very good player and I love his playing style but he is not a ceiling raiser. He won't win you match by a piece of magic. That is what I meant by ceiling raisers. On the bolded, I see what you did there Continue. |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by jpmoriarti(m): 11:56am On Sep 18, 2025 |
andrewbaba44:Not a ceiling raiser. A good player nonetheless. But not in the level of Antoine Grezimman. |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by andrewbaba44: 12:14pm On Sep 18, 2025 |
jpmoriarti:Baena level currently is better than griezman who have slowed down The best creator in Laliga is a ceilling raiser egbon |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by jpmoriarti(m): 12:31pm On Sep 18, 2025 |
andrewbaba44:Antoine Grezimann at the peak of his powers finished in 3rd position in the ballon d’or of 2016. Now, that is a ceiling raiser that I am talking about. I don’t think Baena playing at his very best, ever finishes in the top 10 of ballon d’or. |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by AirBere: 12:33pm On Sep 18, 2025 |
jpmoriarti:I don't think you've watched Baena. You probably think of him as one of those players in Laliga. He's better than your Olmo at creating chances and he's got a better fitness level. I'm pretty sure you consider Wirzt a ceiling raiser, I'm also sure you considered Coutinho a ceiling raiser when he joined Barca but did he raise your level? Contino eventually got benched by Gavi who's a central midfielder. Football doesn't work this way. It's never linear/straightforward. A ceiling raiser can be any player who decides to step up. Palmer raised our level, but the week he was bought, the general consensus was that he was too expensive for a guy with very little football at the senior level. So when Palmer joined, he wasn't a ceiling raiser. Today he's our go to guy. Is Raphinha a ceiling raiser for Barca today? yes. Was he a ceiling raiser when almost Barca fans wanted him sold to Saudi? My point is this. Ceiling raiser is just a term based on expectations and money spent. Olmo is supposed to be a ceiling raiser but is he? If he is, why is he getting benched by an academy kid in Feemin. Fermin will most likely start today, why is a ceiling raiser on the bench. Is Dejong a ceiling raiser? Why then do most Barca fans here want him gone, some wants him be benched. Joan Garcia is relatively unknown but he's clearly a ceiling raiser at the back. A clear upgrade on Ter Stegen and Tek. Baena is a ceiling raiser for Tico or any top team. That he didn't cost much doesn't change the fact. Watch some clips of Villarreal or watch Olympic final. That's a UCL calibre guy. I'm surprised he's not at a top, top club like Barca, Madrid, City, Bayern. Time will tell. Greizman is a faded star. Beana is currently better. With everyone fit, Griezrman is a bench player at Tico. Think this is his last season in a top league. He's going to MLS soon. |

I think this conversation will rage on😎 Everyone can have different views on this player and that’s fine. |

jpmoriarti:I am not saying baena was on prime griezman level Calm down oo ,he just joined a big club for the first time in his career and you are giving me geiezman achievements ,Haba And I am not sure have really watched baena ,easily an 80M player for premier league teams |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by andrewbaba44: 4:19pm On Sep 18, 2025 |
Who this man go even start for CB today self E no go bad make Christensen start this game o |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by AirBere: 4:22pm On Sep 18, 2025 |
andrewbaba44:Baena is also a dead ball specialist and one touch passer. Put him in that AM role and Yokeresh will feast. All the cross and nod go be bang-bang. Zubimendi didn't surprise me, Mosquera didn't surprise me and if no be say Saliba na senior man, Artate for don dey reason to bench Saliba sef. Baena at arsenal especially how the play and try to win games via crosses and corners will be utter cheat code there.....but he's not known by many. Beast crosser of the ball... |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by AirBere: 4:25pm On Sep 18, 2025 |
andrewbaba44: ![]() This lineup was revealed to me by a mad man. Joan, Kounde, Eric Garcia, Christensen, Lord Martin, Pedri, Dejong, Feemin, Rashford, Lewy, Raphinha. |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by andrewbaba44: 4:27pm On Sep 18, 2025 |
AirBere:Make de Jong start from bench as e just recover I no really trust Eric Garcia sha ,araujo have the physically but I just can’t get over somethings ![]() |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by andrewbaba44: 4:29pm On Sep 18, 2025 |
AirBere:Since when xavi wanted zubimendi I followed and rated him ,they called him Spanish biased for wanting that dude ,zubi is good Too bad we didn’t go for Mosquera ,na speed him for take join us ,and he was even very cheap |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by AirBere: 4:32pm On Sep 18, 2025 |
andrewbaba44: If you see Harauljo for lineup, go and sell your house, cars, properties and bet your money on a Newcastle handicap victory. |

jpmoriarti:Which day will you agree that your opinion was wrong and be flexible to accept other views? |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Kilishihunter: 5:00pm On Sep 18, 2025 |
Newcastle is a very dangerous opponent on the counter with their pacy runners,set piece threat and probably the stadium with the best atmosphere in the EPL plus we don't have yamal so I think it's best we'll be cautious going into that game |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Kilishihunter: 5:04pm On Sep 18, 2025 |
andrewbaba44:Na de jong we even need for this match with him press resistance and passing only if he'll agree to defend |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by andrewbaba44: 5:06pm On Sep 18, 2025 |
Kilishihunter:Hmm Everything will be up to flick sha |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Kilishihunter: 5:27pm On Sep 18, 2025 |
andrewbaba44:No lies chief With those three thugs wey dey their midfield we'll have to be very careful with possession, nobody for our own strong reach them, them just be like rayo with better players sef, e go get point for the match wey we no go see anything play cause of their high pressing like wetin dem do Liverpool and psg few years back |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Kilishihunter: 5:29pm On Sep 18, 2025 |
That defence would always be our weakness till the players there decide to step up or any day tebas allows us to get reinforcements outside, if I even see us getting a draw today I won't be hard pressed even though I hope for a win, Newcastle away na problem |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Debroslink: 5:41pm On Sep 18, 2025 |
Kilishihunter:Forget Newcastle's midfield. They can't take possession from Pedri. My worry is our high line defence which is likely to be destroyed by Newcastle's pact wingers. |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Derumklala12(m): 6:22pm On Sep 18, 2025 |
Debroslink:Forget about the highline Our defense start from our attack If rashford and lewandowski do not press We're fried Let's hope they do |
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by OkpaNsukkaisBae(m): 6:52pm On Sep 18, 2025 |
Flick dey put too much trust in Araujo
|
| Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Derumklala12(m): 6:54pm On Sep 18, 2025 |
OkpaNsukkaisBae:Eric Garcia is not winning any duel against woltemade 😂 Let's just pray for minimal brain farts |
