If coutinho is going to play in the midfield, Arthur would have to sit

When messi was fit, dembele and Malcom were not in the starting XI, with messi injured , only one can make the xi, not 2 unless another person sits

HumbleBoy21:
That means with Messi injured dembele will have to sit for Malcom to shine. I prefer malcom.

Nicolars:


Malcom kor, if Malcom had proved worthy of the xi, at least he would be making the weekly 18man list

Just pray he makes the bench first because Denis Suarez could replace messi on that list if EV wishes

What you should hope for is Malcom should make the bench and prolly be the first sub

From home boy to XI,lol.... Person wey never start to they make bench list

jpmoriarti:
People should stop bad-mouthing Dembele. Dude is trying his best to be unpredictable. It is normal to lose the ball if you try to dribble. Coach should just try to teach him how to get the best of his abilities. The guy will come good in no time. I know this

Abeg o, Which coach will teach person how to use his abilities? I nor understand o

homesteady:


If that guy comes good for Barcelona, it would be because miracles happens. I was supporting him before oh, but Nah, Not again.

jpmoriarti:
Why do you think Messi needs a coach? Not minding how good he is, he still need those subtle assistance from the coach. Dembele is still 21. He needs all the help he can get. If you see his touches on the ball, then you know there is something in him that encouraged Barca to break the bank to get him.

Awesome01:


Oh I agree with you 90%. but what have you seen in the playing styles of our players (improvement), that shows that the current coach is adding anything to them.

Tell me 2 - 3 players that has improved his style since EV took over from Enrique. If you prove that my support will be 100%.

IKON360:

Guardiola taught Sterling how to run with the ball. Guardiola taught him how to position better. Louis Van Gaal teaches his players not dribble, control then shoot, coaches teach o

IKON360:

even Enrique improved nobody... There must be something EV is doing that players are NOT complaining, Board ISN'T complaining. He must be doing something right that you mustn't see but those that matter are satisfied with

Awesome01:


Nice one my bros, my point exactly. I believe you didn't go to the etihad to observe this nor see Van Gaal dishing out these instructions verbatim, but you made this observations by seeing the improvements in the players, abi?

Okay, show me the players that has shown glowing improvement since EV took over from Enrique.

IKON360:

Jordi Alba and Sergei Roberto... Alba pushes up and supports and he doesn't even cross all those far reaching crosses, more of lay offs or passes for either Messi or Suarez or any one around. Since EV, Roberto has stepped up, I like him just sad that Spain keep overlooking him. And then there's Rakitic, that guy looks like a completely different player from Luis, he's tackling, late runs to volley in some dope goals, how he supports Busquests... EV dey try, we can't get everything but he's doing well. My problem is the over reliance on Messi, and I hope with this injury people like Suarez and Coutinho step up

Bros, Jordi Alba has been doing all aforementioned perfectly before EV came, Sergi Roberto is neither here nor there, but on Rakitic, yeah, I quite agree with you. One could see his improvement in solidity in midfield, his backtracking to help the defense, his eagerness to throw himself into tackles and doing the dirty jobs, yeah he improved from Enrique's version.

But like you said, we can't get everything.

IKON360:

Jordi Alba under Enrique didn't overlap much due to the presence of Neymar. As that coach and Neymar left, Jordi developed a dope relationship with Messi. In fact even Messi changed. Messi's interplay used to be between Iniesta, Xavi and Dani Alves. Rarely with whoever was playing Left back or CF, under Valverde, Messi keeps finding Alba, then moves in swiftly for the cutback... Rarely do you see Messi have those swift one two passes he used to have with Dani Alves with Roberto or Semedo. I think EV is doing well. I just want us to win this season's CL... I'll be so happy especially for EV and Dembele and Coutinho

hardwerk:
I d laugh una way never realise Dembeflop is no good .

HumbleBoy21:
Malcom plays the same left wing as coutinho.. or how do you want him to do it.
Who should he bench? coutinho, arthur or rakitic.

ANGELMARVE:
Coutinho, rakitic and Arthur should command our midfield.
Busquet should be limited to the bench.
Then Lionel messi, Dembele and suarez should be our front liners.
Busquet has done more than enough for the club, he should be limited to certain games and allow dembele grow by making Coutinho come back to his normal position in the midfield.

HumbleBoy21:
Honestly Malcom. is better than dembele, He has better ball control and he is a good finisher, he plays a little more like mbappe of psg.
The only he needs to work on is his passes, Go help yourself on YouTube.
Dunno what is wrong with valverde.
