I was just laughing when people said suarez was back after the hatrick against Madrid.

Do you know suarez loses the ball more than dembele?

Do you know suarez has been more inconsistent than dembele the season?

Valverde will never bench him but if suarez was under a coach like pep, he would probably be on the bench with a seatbelt.

Suarez is finished! We can never win the cl with him as our main striker.

Guardiola won't bench Suarez, the reason Guardiola benched Aguero last season was because Aguero wasn't starting the press the way G. Jesus. That's why G. Jesus even started ahead of Firmino in the world cup. He is very good at pressing. Suarez from his Liverpool days has always been harrying defenders, goalkeepers, even fouling them. Why will Guardiola bench such a player?

Rakitic is injured, Coutinho is injured, Roberto is injured, Rafinha is injured and of course our resident ambulance Vermaleen

IKON360:

if EV benches Suarez who will now start? I'll punch your teeth o. We need a new striker that has charisma and can score. Oya who should we replace Suarez with and shouting bench Suarez like a 4 year old.

The Dortmund team Dembele played was more attuned to using counter attacks, the pace of Aubameyang, Reus, Dembele and Schurrle could open defenses plus Kagawa's passing. How many teams give us space to utilise Dembele's speed? He dribbles better with space, he's not a close control dribbler like Messi, Neymar or Hazard or Iniesta, when Dembele tries close control dribbles he tends to fail. Besides you were among those that crucified Dembele after the Sevilla match.

So valfraude cannot play cou-messi-dembele?

You will punch my teeth??

It's like you are related to neymar 419

Guys valverde has an account on nairaland!!!

You will still get sacked at the end of the season by the grace of God.

lmao, but Coutinho is injured. And this front three will make sense, if Dembele will just be tracking runs of the opposition left back or offer cover to any of our right backs.

IKON360:

you sabi ball abeg, if Dembele was consistent he will start more matches.

If EV was the coach of CR7 in his 1st 3 years of Man United where he was dribbling without output, he would be benched and not ended up with 5 Balon d or.

Sterling before Guardiola scored less than 10 goals

Sterling during Guardiola scores more than 20 goals.


Dembele with EV has scored 4 winning goals giving us 12 precious points. Remove these 12 points and tell me whether we'll be in top 15 on La Liga table.

Give Dembele to Klopp for example, and tell me if he won't score like Salah of today.

Dembele deserves a better coach.

Awesome01:


Roberto is also out for 3-4 weeks according to sportblizz bulletin on DSTV

Good news ,semedo need to play that Right back constitently,if Roberto was not injured watch how semedo will return back to the bench in our next game

Semedo only started because it was 4-4-2

Roberto has no business being a right back

sweet7oyin:
Rafinha Is out for 6months

Why not 1 year ? Six month is too small

Guardiola is easily the best coach now, he was a youth team coach before he became the first team coach. However we can't keep crying over spilt milk, we have to look forward, EV is doing rather well in UCL, dominating games and starting Dembele. Check Sterling and Sane, they were talented but not very hardworking, Guardiola taught them more control, less selfishness and keep chasing the ball when you don't have it and make as little mistakes as possible. Our Dembele will fail dribbles and look up, for what? Our Dembele has some of the best players in the world around him but some times you feel like reaching into tv to slap him. His off the ball runs are sometimes so poor. Some things you just have to teach your self. The way to run with the ball that Guardiola taught Sterling, Bale was running that way right from Tottenham when he was playing LB. If Kante loses the ball, he will chase you till either gets that ball or fouls you. Nobody taught him that. Nobody taught G. jesus is mad pressing. Coach won't teach you everything.

Dembele's stars are spinning so hard in his favor oh! Every possible threat to his position is just getting injured. Just a few games that Rafinha took his spot, they dashed him long term injury. Na wa oh.

If Dembele doesn't cement his position in the starting 11 during this period, he should have himself to blame when even Dennis Suarez would be preferred to start ahead of him.

You said well about Guardiola in grooming players. Unfortunately, EV is the opposite. All he does is to rely on ready made stars to run his team. Look @ Suarez and tell me if Guardiola won't sell him just like he did to David Villa once he lost it.

No! Our EV will rather keep using Suarez, off form Pique and if not for injury, Rakitic will play on forever. No back up for Alba ooh.

Now that Umtiti is back, why not try the pair of Umtiti and Lenglet for once? Our defence is leaking badly, it's the job of the coach to tweak and test if it will work.

As for Dembele, I saw him run wild @ Dortmund when he had a decent coach tutoring him @ 19. Now, he looks unsettled. Thanks to the Spanish Mourinho.

If not that Coutinho is already established, he would have suffered same fate as Dembele and Malcom.

uh the period David Villa left was the same period it looked like Guardiola had lost it. Villa and Guardiola won the UCL last in 2011/2012, teams had learnt to stop us, crowd Messi, Iniesta and Xavi and be as physically annoying as possible. Guardiola soon left too. The problem included Guardiola because most of the 2012 till 2015 team were still there when we won the UCL in 2015.
Aside playing Messi as false 9 which Valverde did last season, who else can replace Suarez? And its not the coach's fault that the team hasn't found a replacement for Suarez.

IF he starts the next few games and doesn't do well... "THEY" already have excuses lined up.

Asin Ehn, Wishin A Player Gets Injured Is Unfair, But God Knws E.V Infuriates Me By Constantly Playing Rafinha N Roberto. Semedo Is A Much Better Rb Than Roberto, N He Plays Well With Dembele.

Nairaland Valverde, Pls What Has Made Semedo Start More Matches? Uhhm, Injuries To Ur Favourite Son Roberto? If So, He Should Be Out 4 D Season! With Valverde, There's No Transparency, Simple.

Rafinha Is Not Even Talented To Begin With, With Thiago, We Lost D Best Alcantara Forever! Rafinha Is Neither A Good Mf, Or Forward. Suarez Has Had Up To 5/6 Matches That R Worse Than Thad Dembele Match Vs Sevilla, Who Crucify Am?

He ran wild @ dortmund cos he had all the space to. Alcacer scores so much cos he has the space to.
In laliga, you aren't given all that space...

He Was Injured For Lengthy Period N Just Recovered. Now, Why Did King Roberto Not Go To The Wc?

philfearon:

Na wa o!

Dembele cos of he is accustomed to playing with space hasn't been able to fully adapt to the team. And unfortunately, laliga is suddenly so competitive that we can't afford to make mistakes. It's affecting dembele; he is taking so long to play as he is expected to.
Dembele's goals decide matches but consistency still means a lot. He started the 2nd leg of the inter match and virtually everyone wanted him out by half time. Malcom came in for him and scored the goal that will qualify us for the round of 16 barely 2 mins after.
Both wingers started against cultural leonesa. What came out of it? Malcom got subbed off for arthur and lenglet who came in later scored the winning goal. Dembele assisted the goal tho he wasn't active for most of the match. Malcom started against real betis and dembele didn't even make the squad. The game featured brilliance from malcom in the opening minutes and you can fill in the rest.
The talent and ability is there but the metamorphosis is still incomplete.

I love dembele's pace and I must say we've got a squad that can compete.
I pray other players recover as fast. We need every available player.

philfearon:

Na wa o!

But two right footed players are OK shey? It's all about tweaking. If it clicks, so be it. If not, then... I can bet that Umtiti can play that Pique's position better than Pique.

Once upon a time, it was believed that left footed players are meant to play left wing forward.

I am glad you understand me

Velverde is a dinosaur

IKON360:

It's the coach choice bro ,semedo was on the bench so many games last season

Joao cancelo didn't even make Portugal team ,the coach prefers a right back from Southampton ahead of better players like cancelo and semedo

As for Roberto who he wan bench for Spain Rb or midfield ? Be careful there

He is lucky now that his father Luis Enrique is the head coach

While EV isn't the best of coaches to harness Dembouz talent, I still believe he can instill that confidence in him by giving him more match time like he is giving Suarez. Dembouz hasn't adapted Barca style of play yet but how will he adapt in match situations If he doesn't play matches consistently too. A Countinho - Messi - Dembouz forward line is possible since Luiz has decided to go on a rubbish playing streak. Malcom is another fine player with talent too but when you don't give them chances, how do you up their confidence?

If you ask me, EV is more concerned about getting the job done (ie winning Laliga) without minding the process. He gets his substitution timing wrong, he is contented with draws, he isn't a good reader of the game even my grandpa can read our matched better than he does. I just hope we don't make such mistake in the UCL, cos na that one concern me pass. All in all, I pray he doesn't renew his contract because EV isn't Barca standard.

It’s mad how the people who brought up this “Ronaldo rape case” are no where to be seen, not even a word has come out after the fake leaks. If it was true nobody would have stayed quite the only people who bring it up is 12 yr old Cules when they’re losing an argument.
