Kounde should is not Barca level player. Make Chelsea come carry him a abeg

This was when we lost the match.
No serious defender will allow Lookman score that goal.
Kounde was too slow there, all it takes was to intercept that pass very calmly. How Lookman got in front of him remains a mystery to me.
I am not even a professional footballer but on GOD!!! Lookman won't score that goal if i was in that same position as kounde.

COOL10:
Blame the players all you want but it's not going to change anything until y'all realise that Flick's highline is the problem of this team

I will keep saying it again and again that FC Barcelona has one of the best defence in the world but these defence becomes shiiit with the highline.
Our defenders marvels during a one on one and a man marking situation, they become beasts when they man mark their opponents and i don't know why flick hasn't seen this till now.
I will keep saying , we really have a good defence when they are not running and chasing their opponents because of the highline.

Flick need to change, the world has moved on from highline.
Highline won't work in this current times we are in, it simply an old tactic that is no longer needed.

We didn't lose because we got outplayed, we lost because Flick is using old format in an era of new formats.
Our issue is not defence, our highest problem are strikers and the highline.

AirBere:
Next season Barça will again try to win ucl with Dejong, Araujo, Kounde, Eric Garcia, Martin, Ferran(played well today), Clifford lol.

The defence ain't the issue.
The highline is the issue.

We just need to stop highline and then get oshimen.

Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by OhBritannia(m): 5:43am On Apr 15

Also starting with kounde was a mistake.
You want to play highline against a counter attacking team in a crucial match and you are starting with kounde that can't run?

Flick messed up because if you check the goal Lookman scored, he outran kounde.

Lookman can't outrun Araujo like that.
Using Araujo as a right back would have been better.

Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by OhBritannia(m): 5:47am On Apr 15

From next season, Flick has the opportunity, a GOD given opportunity to become one of the best coaches in history with FC Barcelona.
I know FC Barcelona will spend lots of money in the market next season.
Dear flick, please when we buy these new and expensive players.

Just do away with the highline and FC Barcelona will dominate Europe in many many years to come.

We need to get oshimen.

Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by OhBritannia(m): 6:18am On Apr 15

I am absolutely blaming flick on the treatment of Roony.
The kid is obviously very very talented and in games against strong opponents when it's certain that 3 to 4 players will crowd Yamal on the sides.
A wise coach will shift Yamal to the middle at the start of the second half and then bring in Roony to the sides.

If flick had done this against Atletico, we would had scored 4 to give goals.
I blame this lost solely on flick.

I remember when Guardiola and Luis Enrique was constantly changing Messi's position to the middle when opponents had 3 to 4 players on him on the sides.

Yamal is a very gifted player technically, he will thrive in the middle too.

Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by OhBritannia(m): 6:30am On Apr 15

And lastly even if people won't agree.
I think we should cash in on RAPHINHA and DeJong.

Let me explain!!! the over dependence on Yamal is costing us so bad.
We need a sharp dribbler on the other side that can take players off Yamal and give opposition coach headache and Raphinha doesn't have that quality and this is even the major reason we lost against inter last season.
Yamal was the only threat and Raphinha was almost a ghost in the game till he was moved to the middle.

Let's cash out on Raphinha and use the money for an elite dribbler, no matter the amount, we should spend big.
Yamal needs pressure taken off him.

We should sell DeJong because we need a Iniesta type of midfielder that can shoot.
Once again, it's all about taking pressure off Yamal.
Imagine having Iniesta and a dribbler like Eden hazard in this FC Barcelona's side!!!
This team will become unstoppable in many many years.

Once again, the problem isn't defence, we need to stop the highline and we need a new striker, a new attacking midfielder and a new left winger.

Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by UncleHaba22: 7:22am On Apr 15

Lewandowski came in and the attack and midfield was no where to be found

Lewandowski should leave next season
He can't press he can't pass to score na problem after ferran left ATM defenders burden just went off

Flick stubborness killed the game Aswell Dejong came in late immediately Gavi was carded after lewandowski came in ATM was pressing Barca, Barca wasn't able to play the ball out he for sub in Dejong immediately but he waited till red card enter

Kounde
Lewandowski
Rashford

Should not be in Barca next season if laporta mean good for the team

This is what I've also been drumming here as well. Some barca fans are of the opinion that signing someone like Batsoni will solve Barça's defensive issues but that's not gonna happen. Puyol and Pique will struggle in what Flcik is doing. The problem isn't just personnel but the highline.

Another thing I said at the beginning of the season is that Kounde will be the end of barca and yesterday he again showed his current level and proved me right.

Ive seen your hot take about selling Raphinha. I think that'll be too drastic. What i think is that Barca should sign a LW or return Abde to compete with Raphinha as he's(Abde) actually an effective dribbler with good pressing and hes now added some end product to his game. Raphinha is not getting younger and his fitness level will not improve add to the fact that he presses too much even in meaningless games. Another solution is to try him as a striker/F9.

With all that said, Flick goofed from leg one. Clifford had no business starting that game. Flick had the chance to rectify it yet still introduced Clifford and the game was deservedly lost.

Flick also made a school boy error yesterday by taking off Tuna when he was in his element. Similar to what Xavi did to Raphinha in the game vs Man United some seasons ago in the wholopka league. When a player is in his element, you don't replace him.

With or without Flcik, barca wil never win UCL with Kounde, Dejong, Clifford*, Araujo, Olmo, Garcia, Lewy all sharing same pitch. This is Never happening. Just too many liabilities.

Everyone talks as though there is a perfect tactics out there to win everything. Highline or no highline. I dont think it was what cost us the tie.

Besides, Barcelona is 9 points on top of the league while your Chelsea is going trophyless after spending 1.5B pound. Football season no dey end. If it didn't work out this season, try again next season. Fight no dey there.

It is ironic that it is fans of clubs that are going trophyless this season, that is coming to mock Barcelona for exiting the UCL. All these your grandstanding especially after Barca loses, is just absurd. Your team didn't even reach quarter finals.

Making sales, Central defence, full backs and a striker hopefully osimhen cause I've not sure Julian is worth that amount should be our order of priority in the summer

Yeah, based on what I saw, I seriously doubt if we could keep the tempo even if we got another goal. That extra time would have run us ragged. We don't have the depth for it. And injuries to our team makes things even worse.

One key player comes back from injury, then another one follows him back to injury. That inconsistency kills vibes and tempo.

Imagine losing Raphinha and Bernal at once. Two players who thrive on intensity and hardworking pressing.

Deco has his work cut out for him.
Get Bastoni for €60mn, get that Asllani for cheap €30mn and work hard for other cheap options or free or on loan players next season.
We seriously need depth.

All those young CBs Deco purchased this winter,I want to believe he has a plan of at least Flick integrating a couple of them into the team. Cos this Cubarsi, Garcia and Martin slowness combo for back ehn, na calamity and tears back to back.
I'm struggling to see 4 young CBs purchased, especially when they were all highly sought after by top teams in Europe, I'd be shocked if none got a call up and gradual introduction to the team dynamics next season.
After all, we have faith in 18yr olds manning important positions in the team. At least,those guys are way faster than what Cubarsi and co presently offers.

Even if we sign the best players Flick has to have a plan B to the highline. It's a high risk high reward system all right and if fermin had scored before his unfortunate injury which was overlooked btw it could have spiralled things into our favour. I don't think we even kept a clean sheet in this competition. But that Turpin that is supposedly the best referee in Europe was really biased last night. Tico didn't get a single yellow card last night despite their numerous fouls. No penalty on olmo and gavi getting yellow while musso was let off the hook was amusing

Like bro, I dey watch match, I just dey hear vest ref in Europe. Only to see the atrocious officiating he delivered yesternight. Bro, like inconsistencies from a referee in the same match for similar offences.
How Joe Musso didn't even get a yellow card for that foul on Fermin Lopez is a marvel. Fine, let's even say the ref was bias and trying to protect Atletico, but how does he explain no yellow card to the keeper for that life threatening foul. Boot straight to the face and nothing happened? That's like a pat on the back.

Guys, to me, it's like UEFA has a secret agreement to ensure Barca doesn't win the tournament ever again. Cos all these funny bias calls for the past three seasons suddenly doesn't seem like a coincidence to me no more. To the point the supposed best ref in the world couldn't make consistent nonsense controversial calls yesterday.

Left to me, if we go to UCL next season and this same shitty refereeing reoccurs and becomes a pivotal reason for our elimination, I'll just say we boycott the UCL and refuse to participate in future competitions since the leadership and its officials seems to have a different rules for other teams vs Barca.

What's the point participating when you'll be robbed with every dark arts possible before you even get to the final?

Exactly my point yesterday. Just look at how high Cancelo and Fermin were. Gerard Martin even had to move to left back to cover up for Cancelo.

Thank God, Rashford didn't start yesterday's match. Everyone would have blamed him for not tracking back. Now they're all ignoring the fact that Fermin didn't track back before that goal was scored. Fermin more or less stood and watched Atletico attack from his wing.

Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Debroslink: 10:18am On Apr 15

Same high line was used and Flick won the TREBLE at Bayern. Difference is the personnel being used. Bayern had world class defenders, but Barcelona defenders are bang average.

Laporta, please release the funds so that Flick can buy quality players to replace the bums we call defenders.

You've just brought to the fore a question I had about this UCL competition. Is it possible? Or has it ever happened before? For a team to top its league table and refusing to compete in the UCL. Can it happen?

All these ojoro and unfair refereeing decisions that usually happens to Barca is too much.

I don't know if anyone has done it before, but I definitely know if anyone is trying that move, Barca or Madrid are the best placed teams to do such cos our influence and pedigree in European football is undisputed.

I remember how UEFA was very upset when Barca and Madrid tried to breakaway and form the Superleague.... This move is what eventually led to this new UCL format we're currently using. Probably some people gave forgotten, but I have not.

It's the Superleague brouhaha that led to this transformed UCL format after the breakaway protests. And thus UEFA had no choice than to also increase the money that gets to the clubs instead of pocketing almost the entirety of the largesse.

If we do it, at least we can force this clowns to think twice and look seriously into these ridiculous officiating regards to Barca matches.
Imagine how VAR was quick to answer every call for the Atletico side but ours was easily brushed aside.

If Barcelona did it, it would be a strong statement and a declaration of how compromised UEFA is. Imagine a team qualifying fully on flying colors amongst one of the top leagues in Europe and one of the strongest competitors refusing to participate because of perceived unfairness on UEFA's part.
It gives a serious credibility blow to UEFA. Especially when it's a club like Barca status doing that. The leadership would be forced to course correct. These infractions are visible to the whole world to see.
I mean how is that kick to the face for Fermin Lopez not a single yellow card? What sort of refereeing is that? So because he already got the ball first that dangerous foul can be overlooked?
Since he isn't fully at fault, why no yellow card for such dangerous move?

If Barcelona does that boycott for two seasons I'll be happy. We can come back later when they've had sense and are ready for equal competition.

Trevor012:
No De jong and Ter Stegen to use as scapegoats . Pedri was just playing rubbish yesterday without someone to carry him .

Clifford was subbed in, what did he do.

Oh!He rammed a player,his typical forte. grin

I'm quite angry at Pedri,ball ain't always about turning.

I could recall counting 2-3 scenarios where blud could send killer forward passes or through balls but he preferred turning and playing safe,the only time he crossed ball almost led to a goal,we need more of those.

He should watch more of Messi,Iniesta,Busquet,Xavi if you see an opening take the pass don't doubt it.
