I like him as a player cause he has the perfect mix of attacking and defending qualities.

Very few midfielders are blended like that.

Plus the fact that he plays every match with maximum effort.

Really thought that not a racist song at all he sang with Argentina would make Chelsea put him for sale cause of the UK and their woke nonsense.

He's good and won the world cup as a DM. I think he'll struggle in the DM role for Barca because he's not a specialist and Flick plays a very high line. Your team needs a dedicated DLP/DM who doesn't care about scoring or venturing forward like Enzo or Dejong. Someone like Kamara or Larson or Zubimendi profile. I think Enzo is Madrid bound if he ever leaves Chelsea.

Kilishihunter:
well Enzo us one of the best in the world but the only CMs I would take from Chelsea if it was possible are either caicedo or Santos, solid ball winners to make our ball progressors cook

Enzo, one of the best?🤣 Chief, he rode on Argentina's World Cup momentum. He isn't even one of the best in the EPL, let alone the world. He isn't even better than Iwobi. He's the Temu version of Bellingham.

This Gerard maldini wey start as cruise fit come later no be joke truly, this boy won a physical battle with sorloth in our box 18, I couldn't believe what I was seeing

Betis will test him further....

Until his introduction Vs Mexico, Argentina looked completely lost. You don't start for current Argentina/Chelsea by luck. He's pretty good as a CM.

You condemn Vélvede and Bellingham every day, but you like Enzo 😂. Make it make sense. Enzo isn’t even half as good as those players. He isn’t even better than Fermín 🤣.

Osino Gini.

Enzo and Smellingham in the same sentence.

Abeg na.

Smellingham doesn't even know his position on a football pitch.

Kamara was offered to us as a free agent ,but we no look him side

Obvious must have another meaning.

You've lost all big games this season with Dejong on the pitch....facts.

The first big game without Dejong Barca won won...facts. dey play 😂😂😂

Key word, abi file sorting is "Dejong"

I don't know what you define as big game. All games so far this season, have carried only 3 pionts. Not a single trophy won or lost. But you keep yapping big games, just so your agenda can agend 😏😏

A big game is not necessarily a game against big club. A big game is a match where you're directly competing for a trophy or a match which can directly qualify you for a place in the final example quarter finals or semifinals of UCL or a league game which can directly kill your opponents chances of winning the league.

If you define a big game as games against big club, then games against ManUtd is equally a big game even though we know there's nothing as stake other than 3 pionts and perhaps bragging rights 😉

Last season against Madrid in the first leg, when we won 4–0, de Jong actually won that game for us.
It was 0–0 when de Jong came on.
He made the pass to Balde that led to the first goal.
But anyway… agenda must agend. 🤣🤣

So because he made the pass that Led to the first goal meant he won the game for us

He did well for sure ,but which one is he won the game for us ?

The thing funny

Enzo wey no good like that ,even despite his goals some Chelsea fans no rate am like that

There are three top teams in Spain. Madrid, Barca and Tico. Any game against them is a big game. I've already said I don't really classify games in Laliga as big games only UCL. But this was the most informed team in Laliga and a top 3 team so it's a big game. Big games simply means games Vs top oppositions in UCL aka UCL contenders and may be Laliga.

This is the the sequence to the equaliser. Pedri is shadow marked by players in front of him but he somehow found a way to pass it forward and created a 1vs1 for Ralph. In this situation, Dejong will be twisting, turning, slowing the game down and passing back to Balde or Martin.

Also, observe the image below. Look what's happening here in terms of defensive structure. Pedri is advancing, watch who stayed back in case of a counter or a misplaced pass. That's Eric on the same line with Kounde. Play Dejong and he won't be in that position. He'll stray forward only to go do absolute nothing. Assist you don't give, goals you don't score, pass forward, no ooo, oya stay and protect your back 4 mbah. Which kind player Una get like this lol.

When enzo take enter one of the best in the world

Abi na because Chelsea win us you Dey talk this one

I will take 3 good players from that Chelsea team and enzo isn’t one of them

If everybody is fit, Hansi Flick has a proper squad to win everything this season especially if he doesn’t use Araujo in important games.

Pedri is literally the best midfielder in the world.

Half fit but he dominated the best team in the league all by himself.

Hansi Flick deserves more respect and recognition.

Half fit squad, no Fermin, no Gavi, no FDJ, no Araujo, no Stegen and he pulled this win.

We are so back

Make dem no go find money give Hansi flick first

I am glad startboy Lamine Yamal is already looking like Messi in the sense that he dosen't need to score a goal or provide an assist, in order to have a very good game.

He had an excellent game yesterday. Smooth and quick linkup play. Excellent footwork. Drifting in and out of space and creating lots of excellent chances for his teammate. A pure playmaking role. I am happy he's not obsessed with goal scoring or hogging the headlines. Such a team player at such a tender age.

Yeah Olmo dislocated his shoulder after scoring yesterday and will be out for 1 month.

After scoring 3 goals in 2 games and sort of hitting good form, this freak injury now represents another setback for the catalan.

We just can't get our infirmary low on injured players. One step forward, three steps backwards.

That’s why I say La Liga is weak. Athletic Bilbao earning a UCL spot is an embarrassment to the league. Last season, Manchester United was the worst I’ve ever seen, yet they still destroyed an in-form La Liga team. That should tell you all you need to know about the quality of the league.

Bilbao is trash🚮. I agree with u.
Ernest Valverde is another Eric Ten Hag. Too overrated

Deco just said we are not signing anybody in January, maybe na FFP or Gerard Martin masterclass dey make am talk like that, If players comot maybe small hope fit dey but e don talk am so let's just hope for a good season in Spain till whenever we can fix the team well to compete for UCL

With the way Flick wants to play or is playing. Barca will be better off getting an elite 9 instead of a CB. Someone who can convert chances and put Barca 2 goals up forcing them to open up even further. The tactics is kamikaze and like I said, I don't think a CB will solve it. A DM can solve it though.

Christensen, Martin, Garcia and Curbasi are decent enough for a UCL or Laliga title charge. The main issue is someone to screen the back 4 for them. Signing a CB won't solve the issue. Barca was still leaking goals even with Inigo.

Barca needs a shield (DM) 🛡️🛡️🛡️

Apart from the highline a CB not doing his job properly was one of the reasons why we lost to inter last season in the second leg, we don't even need just one we need two to give us pace and strength at the backline so we can be maybe free from araujo or rotate cubarsi so he wouldn't be put under pressure always, Joan Garcia has also been conceding cause of the highline sometimes but we can see his goalkeeping talent at display to save us atimes, to get a ball winning DM with the ability to hold possession well in this team is not as easy as it sounds considering most of those ball winners tend to give away the ball several times, we don't only need reinforcements at CB but at LB and RB too for quality depth

Well, i watch the games with observations. Flick had Shoctlebeck, Rudiger in his prime and was still conceding goals due to highline. Most Barca fans are banking on Scholtlrbect from Dortmund because he knows flick. I think the defence will still suffer irrespective of who's at the back. It's a kamikaze tactics that requires CBs constantly running back and facing their own goal. It's very difficult to stand out as a CB in this system. Inigo understood the system so well yet Barca still conceded bucket load of goals

Let's see if they get a CB and if defence improved after that. Then we'll analyse the situation again together. I personally think a DM will serve you guys better because DMs are like the shield. They break up plays even before it gets to the CBs..

The core of that German team was weak, many old, washed or average players were in that team, even nagelsmann struggled when he first got there that they had to call kroos back for the euros before they starting getting younger talents to build themselves over the years, I'm not saying a DM won't help us but psg who won the UCL don't really have a physical specimen for a DM, all of them work in tandem to press and win the ball back, one of the signings that helped propel them to the trophy alongside kvara was pacho a CB and he was very good from January till may, I'm not saying you aren't right but the weakest area of our team currently is at CB, that's why we've drawn a shortlist already before any other area of the team
