and de jong?

Isomerizm:
Badluck with fans? Dude, did you watch any of our matches last season? How about this season? How he destroyed the structure of our play with his defensive and cowardly tactics? How about perfunctory substitutions? His over reliance on certain players?

He seems to have changed this season, but the verb here is 'SEEMS'. Old habits die hard. He should go Abeg. Don't let the trophies he's won be a smokescreen. Calling him a midtable coach is a glorification.

You're right but not in totality. He didn't the destroy the team's structure but the team lost some of its major components. Neymar left, and Iniesta too and then Paulinho came. There was no way he was going to make paulinho part of the team without changing the structure. And mind you, those defensive tactics weren't cowardly, they, in fact, won us the league. It was clear; reduce the number of goals we concede, the better our chances of winning and it obviously paid off

He has actually tried to change those tactics but it hasn't given us expected results. After 12 games, we have conceded more than half of the goals that were conceded last season.
I don't totally blame him for his over reliance on certain players. He just didn't have enough options. Both gomes and denis weren't up to the task and turan wasn't much better. Much of the same case with deulofeu and digne. Dembele and Coutinho came and things were bound to become better but the former experienced a long term injury and the latter was still adapting to the team play.

His subtitutes also made great impact to the team during a lot of matches

9itewolf:
and de jong?

The midfield is too stacked. De jong can't come now, who does he want to bench?

Messi won us the league this was very evident and it is no coincidence that the only match we lost was without messi. Plus we leaked a lot of goals towards the end of the season.

When was the last time messi didn't win us the league? He always does that. The match we lost against levante without messi was caused by the gross mismanagement of valverde, so was the defeat against roma. Lack of rotation was his worst mistake and the thing that annoys me now is that he is repeating the same mistake this season with rakitic, roberto and pique. They really need rest. And that's why rakitic and coutinho's injury is some sort of good news. They really deserve that rest.

And even if messi won us the league, the defense did a good job keeping goals out. If messi produces his magic and still, goals still come in, we don't gain anything. For example, the real betis match. He scored two goals and yet we still lost. And the fact is that that's the first time messi would score 2 goals for barcelona and still lose.

Who the fvck is this one? You don't just appear out of your hole and throw snide remarks at someone you don't or barely know. I'm not gonna warn you again.

oga relax, your pessimism too much. You dey play ball?

Olamyyde:

Thanks to valverde for never resting him. Let us hope Vidal uses this opportunity to shine.

Because na EV dey coach Croatia too. Mtcheeew!

What we should be looking forward to now is our match against atletico after the international break. In a way, it's gonna decide our position in the league.
The thing is we are certainly going to do away with atletico if we come out in our best form. A balance should be established between the attack and defence. On our last encounter, messi's free kick won us the match and the defense did a good work preventing goals from coming in. Our victory in that match kind of won us the league too.
i pray umtiti and dembele play this one and i hope EV and the entire team would make us proud again

Most of these persons that criticize certain players don't know what it is to play football.
You think it is easy.

Lmao.. See people criticizing players.. So because Malcom had a bad day, he's suddenly not good enough..

If I ask anyone now.. During your day job, have you never had days you made mistakes that had your bosses correcting you.. Abi does it mean you are not good enough ni?

Emotional fickle lots

de ligt and de jong shouldn't cost more than 120m, if de ligt is too expensive then we should get upamaecano for less than 60m. we should get Richerlison to replace Suarez next season, that dude fits the profile.

uh we signed Suarez after a stellar season during which he was the highest goal scorer in Europe and the best player in EPL... And you are suggesting Richarlison, what kind of football on God's earth do you watch? Richarlison! Dude wtf

Just watched Messi's goal against Nigeria that control is madt. Damn it. Was Superb.

if that goal was scored by another player it would have been glorified for a very very long time.

that goal was top 5 of not top 3 at the world cup.


but a lot of people looked down on that goal and criticised it's nomination.

either because of messi's extremely high standards or because of the usual hatred.

Seems very likely the ballon dor 2018 is going to the city of Madrid.

One from Athletico

Two from Real,

will make the podium.


Have to bring it back home to Barca next year.

AMEN.

Finally, so without Messi, no-one else can win Balon d'Or in our team... This is an indictment ah swear.
Men, if they will bring Neymar back, let them do... I don't care what haters say!!!

Only those who have played football, or who play football would understand that, that goal was exquisite. Most people appreciate screamers, solo runs; scissors, bicycle and scorpion kicks.

Why?

Nobody talking about the agreement reached between v.v and rakitic last season

tesppidd:
Messi wins his 6th la liga best player award OF THE YEAR!

Has he been playing alone in la liga the past decade or what?

Later Ronaldo fanboys will say he ruled La liga and left for Italy.........Yeye

9itewolf:

That pact still surprises me...how will you agree that a player would play every match?
I'm even more surprised that he has only missed 3 matches since he joined us in June 2014.
