That was a clear foul. At first both were on 50/50 challenge, with the guy tugging of pique. Then the guy used speed and was ahead of pique. Pique held his shirt, and even drew his shirt sef. That alone is a yellow card offence. Pique been the last man justifiably made it a red card offence
Oga see what you saw and let me see what I saw in peace.

Don't bother convincing him. It's a waste of time grin

7 or 8

The right wing is perfect for him
Dembele is a beast on a good day! After Messi he is the one that has confidence to take on players one on one..
he handled that right wing better than trincao and griezman would ever dream...

He just needs a string of matches without unnecessary interruptions to build up his confidence

On a scale of 10, how would you rate dembele's performance yesterday night.
I would 8.5

25 mins with a goal and an assist...
Also his composure, dribbling passing and positioning were top notch

Honestly, I feel barca have been lacking in attack especially on the right wing. Trincao and Dembele showed what we've been missing. The right wing was instrumental in our victory. Griezmann shouldn't man that position again abeg.

There were options, instead of loading the ball to just Fati or Messi.

For me, Dembele is better as a second half player, his runs and pace are really more useful then and even his heavy touches won't be so detrimental because fewer teams are ready to counter at high speed numerous times by the second half. His pace, and Pedri's touches would be very beneficial in the second half for us.

Why does anybody need to convince anybody?
Is there a prize for it?
It wouldn't bring Pique back for the Juve game.

Thank God we won by a healthy margin and we top of the group.

You won't ever see the self-professed Barcelona fans now.

They will show up only when Messi has a bad day.

I'm happy that those people that were mocking Barcelona for selling Suarez can now keep shut.

That fat fucker missed one good chance around 20 something minute and I kept on laughing till half time grin grin

I wasn't impressed with Messi's performance. He lost the ball more time than I could count. Besides, with all respect to Ferencvaros, they're the weakest opponent in this round of 32. Messi's performance shouldn't be graded against these low tier opposition.

Suarez is no longer a top class striker. Reason Barca let him go.

They have come again.

Messi's performance shouldn't be graded.

Lol.

But that of De Jong should.

That of Dembele should.

That of Pedri should.

That of Trincao should.

Lol.

Suddenly, I have lost my 'appetite' for the Barça - Juventus game. Rubbish. I just want CR7 to play. Is it that hard? When you need him to turn up, he won't. Mtcheew.

That we capitulated against big opponents in the Champions League should not be surprising. Should it? No.

Why do you think Messi prophesied the capitulations?

Maybe the way he left wasn't encouraging but we were never going to miss him. He knew this and that's why he was fighting to stay

Good striker but complacency,no competition and feeling irreplaceable killed Suarez

I found this article on Goal, a good read. Classico preview in a way. Club finances analysed. A well-thought out article.

"We will always field the best team for each game, and it doesn't depend on the age of a player."

Koeman's response to likely starters in clasico.

Oh dear!

Likely starters for me:

Roberto, Lenglet, Pique, Dest

Busquets, FDJ

Trincao Coutinho Fati

Messi

I would replace Trincao with Dembele.

I'll play Trincao till half-time, then bring on Dembele to finish off the weary Madrid wings, cos I'm sure Zidane cannot sub of Marcelo for anyone and I'm pretty sure the latter will have a hard time running.

My only concern is Roberto concealing Vinicus pace ( This is where I miss Semedo) and bullying.

What if Dest plays in his natural position. And Alba starts. We won't see vinicius disturbing much.

As for the right wing, if Koeman still insists on starting Griezmann, then there's problem for Dembele who'll probably be switched to the left to deputize for Fati.

Honestly everything is just confusing.

And with Koeman talking about age and all, I won't be shocked if he drops Coutinho and starts Pedri. After all, we got a Champions League clash with Juve.grin

Nah. Dembele is more effective as a 2nd half sub on the right especially.

I noticed how you guys arrived at this conclusion based on only 2 matches.

It's okay, time will only tell.

Is Alba fit now?

He is fit enough to make the squad, not sure if he would start.
