Eruditor:


They overloaded his wing so I did not blame him. My anger was in the midfield which we lost during the first 15 mins of the 2nd half.

That was why Vidal was brought on to fix things. Why do I feel Arthur isn't a 90mins player, he always gets subbed

Eruditor:


We won today baba. Make we reason this matter on another day (if we lose).

This is why sometimes I like defeat, it brings you to see your weaknesses. So because we win now, you no wan talk EV tactics abi?
If to say we loose you for don write research work about the loopholes in EV coaching system. Issorai

IKON360:

Suarez did very well in the 1st half, he and Coutinho. In fact this is Coutinho's best match in two months. I wish Suarez scored sha, but if he keeps turning performances like this, no wahala

True no wahala. E be like Luiz na nairalander because ever since we discuss him mata here him performance don dey improve

HATERS DDIIEE!!! Muahahahahahahah!!!
Bring on anybody dia fada

Lmao! Bring on anybody? No problem, we will see

2008-09: Barca beats Lyon in R16 after first leg draw. Real Madrid knocked out in R16. 4 English teams in QF.

2018-19: Barca beats Lyon in R16 after first leg draw. Real Madrid knocked out in R16. 4 English teams in QF first time since 2008-09.

Treble incoming??

Messi showed why nobody compares to him on his day.


Nobody has his influence on the pitch...no one comes close. The best goalscorer, dribbler, playmaker in the world all rolled into one player.

They had orgasms for a certain player's hatrick, they forgot completely about benardesci's influence on that. Thank God messiah shamed them.

I feel bad for coutinho. He had his best game in months yet an unfit supersub dembele looked far more frightening than him.

mrcalcufast:
i don't just understand the issue with most cules, barca won 5-1against a Lyon team that mancity couldn't beat both home and away,yet they are wailing like 'dicks that were denied cums 'come to think of it, were they expecting Lyon not to have had any ball possession?.During our copa Del rey semi final at the bernabeu, Madrid had more possession but we still won 3goals to nil,when Manchester United eliminated barca during the 2007/2008 Champions League semi finals, we had more possession of the ball, same happened when Chelsea eliminated us during 2011/2012 ucl semi finals ,we had more of the ball but they progressed.who possession help?some days you've got to win beautifully, some days you just have to make the best of the ugly moments count. just bring home the trophy,lads!
I've always had my GOAT to count on!
Mes que un club!

Don't blame them. It actually shows that Barcelona is a beyond average club. When we start to do average looking things, fans start to get uneasy. It is rare that you see Barca being dominated on the field of play, so when it happens, it is perceived as an anomaly that should be corrected. That's why I love my club and its fans!!!

Valverde's fans know, inherently, that he has no definite tactic or style of play. He just fields eleven players and squats, squeezing mercy from God's eyes. And so far, it's been working for him. What then happens, if he meets a no-nonsense team, more co-ordinated team? His plans (or non-plans?) are vitiated, and his explanations aren't plausible.

I pray uefa gives us man u

if uefa gives us man city or juventus...the 2 days that they will play, I will just go to bed
.. this barca team doesn't look rigid to me , no game plan.....


but the thing is to be the best , you have to face the best and be ready to beat anybody, so let uefa give us anybody....we day here

In what way was dembele frightening, stop saying anything just to make the player look bad.. Coutinho had his best game in months (full stop), aside the goal dembouz scored, he didn't do anything worthy of this your comment intended on degrading Coutinho

MRsoftapple:
So nobody is talking about the pass to mess syndrome?

we could have scored more than eight goals but no!!!! they must pass to Messi in the box six.

At a time in the game, i was annoyed because instead of the players to shoot and score, everyone close to the penalty box must look for messi.

well i am happy for the win but it's kind of bitter sweet because they didn't impress me at all.

Lionel messi was just missing chances, it's like he was not 100% fit at all.

The players should know when to shoot and score and when to pass to messi.

And Arthur must learn from Xavi, its not compulsory you must pass to messi, at a time when the opposition defenders are expecting you to see messi, it is that moment you give a killer and unexpected pass to other players in the penalty box.
And this was why Xavi was known as the great seer of football.

God bless Barcelona.

For goodness sake enough with this pass to Messi bullshiit.
It is nothing but a myth.

M.Y.T.H!

1. Messi positions himself better than any other player in the box. For this reason #passtomessi remains sancrosanct.
2. I have never before seen Messi fail to pass the ball to a player positioned in a better position to score than him.

Try another style apart from "passtomessi" when you can,
And we'd see the result.

C and D.

Coutinho and Dembele.

Two completely different players with different styles.
Both are world class players.

Coutinho is like an Iniesta.
Dembele is like a Messi.

Pace & trickery Versus Control & passing!

But frankly what we need now is a player in the mould of Dembele.
That's the closest option we've got to our gem Messi.

Someone to run at defenders and create spaces for others.

Coutinho has always been my favourite but mehn, Dembele has got to bench him.

trust me it'll be easier playing against Liverpool than against a Man City or Juventus

IKON360:

you want us to play like Man city, but we are not Man city, didn't you see that Busquets and Arthur were obviously struggling with Lyon's midfield in the 2nd half? don't you know that our defense always struggles with counters? the way Lyon scored rarely happens, scoring from an aerial ball, but you won't know. This was a DOMINATING display, even under Enrique we played like this, score early, get an advantage and then sit back and hit on counters, why do you think that since the turn of the year we have conceded few goals? You think that Lyon came to play golf so we should have 92% ball possession? Even Man city after some time sit back and start hitting the opposition with well executed counters. Are the players complaining? Why are some of you so pessimistic?

Let's break the quarterfinals jinx and qualify for the semifinals first. Then I'll happily jump on the train.

Dembouz out for three to four weeks.

Dembele out for 4 weeks

Dembele out for a month...this coach sha.

Quarter finals is upon us and we should be having all our players fit for that...I just hope this coach won't ruin us

Zidane's real Madrid that won the champions league (3x) consecutively, what was their style of play?
why can't u guys just be positive for once

Who is the MRsoftapple abeg?

Please o, if u can't endure passtomessi; u can as well start denouncing being a barca fan.
What is it sef? Messi is a barca player and the team is using all its opportunity to use him to an advantage up till he's no more a blaugrana. What's wrong with that?
And you're saying that he almost cost us our qualification when he scored two and created two?

Dembele had a little discomfort in our last league game

Dembele didn't start the ucl match cos coach felt he wasn't 100% fit

Dembele was brought on cos coach panicked at 2-1.

Injury aggravated.

Bottom line...the coach didn't manage the dembele issue well.

Kindly tell me why it's not the fault of the coach

Unnecessary arguments everywhere

that spell of time between the scores at 2-0 and the scores at 2-1 was the most frustrating for me in recent memory.

Joyless:

I'd rather play against Juve than face Liverpool or Man City right now. Especially City.

Juve is a cross and nod team like Madrid. Liverpool can really hurt you on the counter, which is one of our weakest spots right now. I don't even want to face City at all.
