Nice piece of pun

Umtiti again was at fault for both goals. See how he managed to keep Rakitic onside for the second goal when everyone else kept him offside.

Iffa hia that Koeman will play him against PSG. Our troubles with center backs is so desperate now.

homesteady:
I'm not even angry sef. I didn't watch the complete match, but the parts I watched, the quality in their play was good.

Lol, so you sef join us wey no see complete match From Startimes?.

80 mins like dis broadcast off. Even Startimes tire for the scoreline.


They outplayed us like madt. The midfield was overthrown. Their attack was precise as they were in no hurry to get into our box 18. Their defence was well composed, they weren't bothered much bout our threats. How we failed to score a single goal still baffle me, with all the acres of space Dembele was given to destroy their left back. No one was penetrating behind their defence lines for crosses to come in.
Baba Messi fvvked up bad with that goal he didn't convert.

If we play with PSG with this sort of energy, na Premium tears. Ah swear.

haymekus:

Lol, guy you funny.

You forgetting that Valverde was a comeback King. Over half the games we played that season were from comebacks. (La Liga).

I swear....same sh!¡T we did last season with Barca loaning off Todibo, we repeated same mistake again this season, only for it to come bite us back at the end.

If I speak on this umtiti guy, it’ll seem like I’m defending him,buh...........


-first goal: kounde was in his own box and in less than 30sec, he was already in Barcelona’s box, this guy ghosted past pedri, ghostmann, busquest, Alba before he dribbled past umtiti, why didn’t someone foul/stop him and start a counterattack since he was out of his position?, Ok, umtiti is at fault because he ought to have stopped him at all cost since he’s the last man I get.
N.b: barce was sitting back when they conceded this goal.

-Second goal: the likes of mingueza and firpo were no where to the found when Sevilla attacked down the left, now umtiti came from his position to set an offside trap, but he slipped and they scored, yet again he was at fault but where were the others?
N.b: barce was pressing when they conceded this goal


All these only highlights the fact that barce as a whole has No/poor defensive strategy, that mean they could easily concede either when sitting deep or pressing high, Do not also forget that this same umtiti also saved barce from conceding earlier in the second half. His performance has dropped massively and should be sold in the summer, but without him, Barcelona’s defense hasn’t also been great

Where's Debroslink? I want to ask both of you about Busquets performance as DEFENSIVE midfielder yesterday.

Na only when we lose you dey bring your head. Busquets is still playing for a top club, and had a decent play.

Where is krychowaik? Your best DM in La liga. What about Wanyama? Best DM in EPL.

Omo Busquets and umtiti still starts for us in 2021



I'm tired of all this pain mehn. It's not fair to be a nigerian and a barca fan

What pain? You want to win all your matches when the team has been playing 3 days non stop for the past 6 weeks. Blips like yesterday's will always be there especially when we've got very lean squad. I saw lot's of tiredness from yesterday's performance.

Boss we haven't faced a top team since Juventus trashed us.


The pain I'm talking about is seeing walking memes like umtiti, busquets and lenglet still starting for us making the same stupid defensive mistakes.

A sigh of relief for the clowns

Neymar misses the clash!

Barce: 13 games since the start of 2021
Sevilla: 12 games since the start of 2021

So WTF are you talking about?

Their best player didn’t play against barce, Just Incase you wanna bring up injury

IMO dembele had a great game, what barca needs is a a9,a target man. Besides dembele don start to dey get two markers untop him head.

Pessi is not a legend in my book

If only legends were made in your book, even you would be one.

You have to also consider the number of away games the team have had to play. Away games comes with constant travelling. Last three away games have been in Andalusia (Granada -Granada, Seville -Betis, Seville -Sevilla), which is very far from Catalonia (about 7 hrs to and from by air) . Barcelona have only played 1 home game since this year.

And also Sevilla have bigger squad than us. Lopetgui effortlessly completed his 5 subs yesterday, while Koeman could only do 2.

First of all, stop saying nonsense



Secondly, the same koeman allowed alena & todibo to leave, so whose is to be blamed for barce’s slim squad? Besides he didn’t go to that game with just 13 players, why make only 2 subs?

This is because you just considered fly time alone. But you and I know that such travel will definitely need a lot of logistics that would definitely take more than 3 hrs for each leg. Koeman always complain that they return to Barcelona 3-4am in the morning after every 9pm match.

About squad size, Alena and Todibo is not the quality in depth the squad needs. They are not particularly any better than the players we have. None of them will improve the quality of the squad.

There you go. Excerpts from Koeman's press conference before Sevilla game.

The Catalan giants' manager has implored Fifa and LaLiga to do more to protect the welfare of his stars.

This season started later than usual and with restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic - players are being asked to take the field more frequently than ever before.

Koeman, 57, told Marca: "It is difficult. The number of games that the big teams have, with three competitions, on top of the Covid situation, makes everything more difficult.

"You have to talk with the players to see how they are physically, their feelings.

"Sometimes you have to give someone a rest to be able to have everyone in the best condition."

Barca's mega run starts with tonight's league game away at Real Betis before they are back down in Andalusia to face Sevilla in the Copa Del Rey on Wednesday.

Speaking on Saturday, Koeman said: "If we count tomorrow's game and Wednesday's game, there are 12 games in a row, of which 11 are away from home.

"And that's playing at 9pm, coming home at 3am in the morning. It is difficult for the players to be able to play all the time. We need help."

Who saw the video the club social media handler uploaded? The one where they fouled Alba. Am I the only one that felt ashamed that they did that kind of stuff?

But won it for Barcelona

Why shouldn't they upload it if they had that camera angle??
Mateu Lahoz felt he got the call spot on by giving the free kick outside the box whereas the real contact happened inside the box if you viewed from that camera angle. Yet VAR refused to intervern.

That we're Barcelona doesn't mean we should stomach injustice and always seek to win by beating the opponent while scoring wonder goals from free flowing team move.
Sometimes things get tough like yesterday. Such penalty not given becomes important.

I agree with Barcelona social media handlers on this one.

Stop this!

The club is Barcelona.,
We are Nairaland Barcelona thread fans;

We don't complain about referees because we are too big and decent!

We only complain about our defenders and Ronald Koeman!!
