I noticed that with valvarde if a line up works for him last week he will still pick the same shiit the following week.
Baba no Sabi tweak team oooo.

When the dog is away funny how the cats will play!

See how we are languishing in la liga because the Lion is away.



The irony is that we win la liga easily for several years and the footballing community doesn't even value la liga anymore.

snrman:
Pique handball was 50/50 it was the refs call
.

As for Roberto he was useless today unlike the previous game.
.
Griezmann not a natural 9 he said so also
.
The rest on la Liga should better gather points now that we are useless till Messi comes
.
.
And the combo of auther and de Jong will be superb

If say valverde get balls

He could try

Griezmann Vidal Rafinha/perez

Arthur Dejong Roberto. (I think this might just be our best option in midfield but unfortunately busquet won't permit it and valverde doesnt seem bold enough to do such)

Don't be surprise vidal will perform wonders there. Because vidal is a fighter and a workhaloic he doesnt gives up and always thrives to be man of the match; so one way or the other he will score goals or atleasr trouble our opponents defence. I like coaches that have balls to make certain bold moves.

There was a certain time then i do enjoy seeing iniesta on the wing or fabregas as false 9 when there is need for such tweaking

Remove Sergi Roberto. Most of his good performances are only in Camp Nou.

Fraudverde may start him in the next fixture. Don't be surprised if that happens.

DeadPresidents:


Still think Valverde is worse than Ole o. See Barca squad quality and then take a look at what Ole has to work with and Valverde still delivers under-par performances and results.

The man is the Spanish David Moyes FFS.

Well, perhaps.

airmark:


Not when we are comparing him with a potential world best like Van Dijk. You may make world best XI but not being the best in your position in your league.

Pique needs to be the best defender in the league multiple times like Ramos. So I cant bring Pique near a potential world best player like Van Dijk.

Lol... It's no more World XI like you always say and now best defender in the league.

You're a clown Airmark. A big one.

But that 16yr old boy get confidence oo
It's so obvious when he is on d ball.
He isn't afraid to take on defenders.

Then One 21yr old fraud that calls himself speedbele, na to stand dey pass ball backwards.

I even shock as fraudverde play am second half.

Give pep this kind player, im don blow.

Personally

I would have preferred

Arthur Dejong Alena/Riqui puig


Although its too early to expect such so i had go with Roberto even though he can be quite sluggish attimes

Griezmanns greatest gift in football is link up play he needs to play with a 9 that can hold the ball and link up and yes Vidal is capable

Valvarde is a flop but credit to him for giving ansu fati some game time.. The boy is about to prove that la masia still produces great players. He might b the next big thing

TLona1:

You didn't get it. We are not comparing Boathand and Pique, we are comparing the in-coming ballon dór winner and Pique. The best player in europe bro.

Meanwhile if a not-so-impressive Pique could get into Fifa XI multiple times, Busquets must be poorer than i thought, not to even have one appearance.

The last chanced he missed Makes me hate him the more.. I don't want him in the midfield again.. He should go back to is right back... I want to see Arthur.. Jong /Busquets.. Rakitic/ alena.. I pray Messi is back after international break

Modric was also the best player in Europe and Pirlo and Xavi were never.

So being in the world XI 4 times isn't impressive? Or what are you tryna say?

Slugging and indecisive.


Meanwhile, Arthur made FraudVerde look so stupid yesterday for not including in the line up all this while.

Even on small teams I will never bet on barca to win without messi playing. God forbid bad thing

NEYMAR will stay at Paris Saint-Germain after the club failed to agree a deal with Barcelona, according to reports.

The Catalan giants were hopeful of completing a deal worth up to £236million before the deadline on September 2.

That move included £182m in cash plus Ivan Rakitic, Jean-Clair Todibo, as well as Ousmane Dembele on a season-long loan.

But the deal remained hugely complicated with speculation that Dembele had no desire to spend the year in Paris with the French giants.

And according to Sky Sports, PSG have pulled the plug on any move after Neymar agreed to "fulfil the remainder of his contract and commitments."

Last night PSG sporting director Leonardo hinted that a move had hit a snag because the terms "didn't suit" them.

He said: "Our position on a potential departure of Neymar is clear, everyone knows what we want.
"We got a first written offer on 27 August and we refused it, the conditions didn't suit us.

"There are three days until the end of the transfer window, and for the moment, there is no agreement.

Neymar will now jet to Miami tomorrow where he will meet up with his international team-mates ahead of Brazil's clashes against Colombia and Peru.

The 27-year-old has yet to feature for PSG this season having left him out while his future remained unresolved.

But with a Champions League clash against Real Madrid to look forward to on his return from international duty, boss Thomas Tuchel is ready to throw him back into the mix.

Our midfield 3 has selected itself. De Jong + Arthur + Anybody else, preferably Busquets.

Messi, Suarez, Dembele come back abeg,

Let us manage the one we have and get our season started,


No time to be biitching over Neymar....



This team can win the Champion league.

All we need is the right team management for Valverede,

Give Messi adequate rest, especially in our home games against the smaller teams.

DrXavierCage:

So

Griezman Suarez Messi

Arthur Busquets De Jong

Alba Lenglet Pique Semedo



Is this what EV should be playing??

There's no excuse for Valverde and Barcelona this time. Griezmann, Suarez, Messi, Dembele. That's enough firepower to cut through any team.

BroadStreetBull:

Griezman Suarez Messi

Arthur Busquets De Jong

Alba Lenglet Pique Semedo

That seems like the best formation. Although I'll prefer Griezmann to take Suarez's place. And for Dembele to be a starter.

DrXavierCage:

You and I know that that would never happen under EV.

Suarez is a sure starter under the man.

Let's put sentiments aside.

We all know that Rakitic has been a part of the failed team (Roma and Liverpool debacles), so emotions might be at play.


But is De Jong really better than Rakitic?

I do think so, but I want someone to convince me more.

It's very unfortunate. He doesn't have any balls.

What is he better at?

What's his edge?

What's his edge?

De Jong is a better passer, I'm not talking about backpasses to Pique or side passes to Roberto at Right back either, I'm talking about incisive passes, like the one assisted he Dembele with against Napoli.

De Jong is more press resistant, it's difficult to get the ball off him, the same cannot be said about Rakitic, that's why Rakitic sucks against any fast paced team that presses high. Rakitic plays better against teams that sit back

FDJ is also better at 1 v 1's , he can dribble his way through if he has to. Rakitic is shit in this aspect, he hardly takes on a man, he just looks for the nearest teammate by his side to pass to.

I can go on.

HIRAETH:

Last 8 games without Messi right!

Tells us how ordinary we will be when his time is done.

Looking through La Masia and can't see no one.
