Na wa oh.

If you like admit it or don't, yesterday's game was a huge improvement from what we have been playing all season, especially considering the limitations in the team. Saying it is the new president effect wouldn't be far fetched. There was a video of Larpota shaking all the players when they got to Paris.

The only thing that kept us from winning that match was that we didn't have another potent goal scorer. Dembele was a disgrace yesterday.
Maybe if Pique was around and De Jong played in midfield, we would have gotten a better outcome.

The players were also tired, Keoman wants to suck the life out of them because he doesn't know how to reward players that are on good form. I wonder why he waited so late to introduce Trincao and Ilaix.

Kilishihunter:
You said it all but all was done and sealed in the first leg Many of us didn't even expect a draw even though this is the weakest psg side we've faced in years considering the way things are now For this club to be feared again in Europe Hardcore changes need to occur I can't vouch for Laporta now but I know he was successful during his first tenure That's where I highly agree with your second to the last statement of changes and a clearout As much as I hailed koeman's form after the first leg thrashing if he ends up making this season worse than it is Then he should be sacked No one is happy right now but let's face it there wasn't much we could do with the way things are now

You know a great coach by his reactions when the game is on the line.
All koeman ever does is throw in players and hope for a miracle.
Never takes pedri off early because “physical” even when it was clear with the last 3 games that Barca play faster when Pedri goes off.
This retard was 1-1 and STILL left the team the way it was TILL the 79th minute.
Who the hell does this?
No great coach will ever try this rubbish. Koeman simply does not have the winning mentality that Barca need he is and will always be an average coach no better than valverde.

And the future is not bright because you have youngsters, how many of these youngsters have shown any improvement?
Pedri’s best game was against juventus a world ago.
There is nothing that suggests an improvement.
Dembele worse.
Dest is confused.
Firpo just doesn’t have the talent even though he has the will.
Every other person is just an old coon hagging around via past glory. Griezmann has never improved since betis.
No single player in the history of koeman has ever gotten better playing under him.
Great coaches improve players. Dead coaches use players till their battery is dead.
It’s clear which one koeman is.
Even if you give him prime iniesta and Xavi they will be on the bench because “physicality”.
We will be here again by this time next year giving the same excuses and showing the same pride “because atleast we didn’t lose 8-2”.

LordAdamX:
How wouldn't you prefer to be knocked out 8:2 in a one-leg tie.

Una get shame?

Na only to make useless history una sabi carry.

-Lord

them dey proud of 1-1 draw. its a massive improvements from past years and this years debacle of 1-4 loss at home to a Neymarless PSG

2015 - ATM 2-0 (3-2 agg)
2016 - JUV 3-0 (3-0 agg)
2017 - ROM 3-0 (4-4 agg)

All koeman is good at is using the same set of players till they completely run down, no chance for growth like you rightly said, because even the few that have shown signs tends to crumble against big teams


He is absolutely in no way different from valverde and setien.

You are the one spilling bullshit. You are nothing but a post-2010 cules.
Do you have any idea what a sporting project is?
We don’t need your bad energy here. Go and read my last comment and mark it down.
I hope to comeback next year when we’re in the semis.

Semis. Lmaooooooooooo i GUARRANTEE YOU that if koeman remains your coach you will not smell the quarter finals.
He simply can’t take you anywhere. He is inept. A coach doesn’t turn to a winner overnight. Koeman that led Everton to their worst epl campaign and Barca to its worst la liga campaign in dog years will take you to semi final.
Get serious for a minute.
A sporting project with a serious minded leader WILL SACK THE COACH IMMEDIATELY AFTER A SCANDALOUS LOSS in the biggest club tournament .
“You hope” for comeback.
You can’t give what you don’t have.
As long as this coach stays and Barca do not offload ATLEAST 6-7 players in the current squad the team is going nowhere near the semi final. I don’t care what “project” you’re dreaming about.
All you have is messi and vibes. No serious human.
Midfielders who play every damn game in the season but “can’t shoot” yet they’re the next iniesta.
Barca is just the new arsenal and it’s painful to watch.
The earlier this mediocrity is brought to an end.
Sack this coach and promote the B coach who actually knows how to develop players.
If Barca had done that since 4 years ago when valverde first displayed his madness Barca would atleast have two champions league titles.
What you have right now is a new board that will try to make big name signings AGAIN and still flop at it.
This whole rubbish needs a total overhaul else no serious result.
Next season you might be playing europa.

Forget the jump sef, the freekick was so far away that the wall had to either jump or stay still.

It's normal to jump and then put an extra man to lie behind the wall.

But Penaldo neither jumped nor held still.

Instead he ducked his pretty face and spread his legs so wide apart to make even Moses jealous.

Even Moses couldn't part the red sea like that.

Of course we wanted more and we DESERVED more, but there was plenty to be proud of from the team tonight.

We wanted to see fight, to see intensity and to see evidence that this team can compete.

And they ticked all the boxes!

Yeahh definitely it was a gamble, one that didn't pay off at all. It failed spectacularly.

I think we made a grave mistake by underestimating Mbappe in the first leg. No one stuck to him like Mingueza and Firpo did yesterday. We learned our lessons the hard way.

I think this has been our undoing in UCL matches this last 6 horror years : underestimating the opposition and treating them with levity. We must begin to accept that the name Barcelona will not always win you matches. In fact, the name Barcelona, inspires the opposition to put on their best ever display. We have to accept the change. You have to go out and put on a display filled with grit and courage, just like yesterday (albeit it was already too late). You have to respect the opposition, because they can put you to the sword, if you think they can't. Roma, Liverpool, Bayern and this years first leg are some of the cruelest example where Barca disrespected the opposition and was put through the sword.

Wise words from Mr Capello. Especially the last 3 paragraph.




Fabio Capello lavished praise on Leo Messi after Barcelona's Champions League second leg draw with Paris Saint-Germain.

The Blaugrana crashed out of Europe thanks to a 5-2 aggregate scoreline, but that didn't stop the ex-England boss from praising the ability of the Argentinian.

"The Leo we saw against PSG is a phenomenon that was only stopped by Marquinhos and Keylor Navas," he told Sky Sport.

"Nonetheless, he's a unique footballer.

"He showed once again that he has something other players don't and that he is an absolute genius.

"Other players may win the Ballon d'Or - like Cristiano Ronaldo - but Messi is a genius because of the things he does with such speed and quality that others can't even compute.

"He uses his feet like others use their hands.

"Against PSG I saw a great Messi and a good Barcelona side."

Capello came back to the subject of Ronaldo when discussing Juventus' exit from the Champions League.

The Portuguese has been blamed for his role in Porto's winning goal against the Old Lady, turning his back in the wall and letting Sergio Oliveira's strike go underneath and past Wojciech Szczesny into the net.

"When you're in the wall you can't be scared of being hit," Capello said.

"It's a terrible, unforgivable error.

"When you're setting up the wall you ask the players if they're scared and to say so if they are.

"Juventus have gone out because they had two players in the wall [Ronaldo and Alvaro Morata] who turned their back on the ball.

"It's not the keeper's fault.

"No one who is scared of getting hit should ever be in a wall."

I don’t understand people who defend Koeman one bit...It’s clearly evident the orange man is Valverde and Setien 2.0.

Just Messi and Insha-Allah....

This present Barca team under a good Coach will get a decent result against any team in the world, the fvcktard hasn’t brought anything new to Barca. Same old BS!!!

To think that he was mouthing off to the media about strong mentality and physicality when he just got signed, the fvck has improved? Nada!

CuteVally:
What's the Meaning of one of the best performance if you still lost by 5 goals to 2?

This was how we lost against Chelsea years ago and yet we played our best performance.

See!!! We are tired of this nonsense type of football where we are the better team and yet we end up losing at the end of the day.

It makes no sense in this modern world of football, there is a saying that says nearly cannot kill a bird. Apart from Lionel Messi, Pique and our goal keeper. The entire Barca squad lack discipline and winning mentality. If the rest Barca players had that mentality that made Lionel Messi took that shot that led to the first goal. We would have qualified.

They don't take shots, they don't fight for ball, they don't have this we won't go out easily mentality except for Messi and Pique in most of our games.

If Barca was a military squad, all the players would have received terrible drilling and punishment for that nonsense we displayed yesterday. Just imagine the chances we missed. Which serious teams does that?

Dembele deserves to be giving a general beating. Griezman deserves to be shot by firing squad.
The problem of barcelona Is not the coach, the problem are the players, they are too soft. Football now is for the strong.

I said one of our best performances this season, can you compare the performance in the first leg to this one? Bro, Dembele and Messi converted their chances, it'd have been a diff story, but sadly they didn't and we have to move on.

I don't think it was about underestimating anybody. The team was completely shit and dead at that point. I remember making a post here at half time that our boys had played to their limit and there was nothing more they could do. Barcelona was in a sunken place.

Thank God that they are out of that situation now.

Barefaced hypocrisy and consistency in delusion.

Just look back at all the comments since last night, 70 percent are about Messi and not about the team's failure.

Just look back at the comments of you and your cohorts everytime Barca loses a football match, 90 percent are always attacking Messi and not the team.

And everytime you leave out the team and attack Messi, you still turn around and have an issue with those who defend Messi as it should be.

What do we call this Usbcable? This level of hypocrisy stinks...

And just a gentle reminder, Ronaldo has destroyed the little legacy that Juve managed to gather the last couple of years before he joined.

He just joined and set them 1000 years backwards.

Small small teams like Ajax, Lyon and Porto disgracing them upandan.

You should worry about that and not who's defending Messi and who's not.

Don’t be Dumb mehn!!


So players should play to the satisfaction of bloggers or once a blogger is impressed/writes about a player, we can go ahead to lose??

How was Piqué’s performance at camp, as compared to to that of firpo yesterday?

Or how was his performance as compared to Marquinho’s yesterday??


Oya go an add that “7” rating that the blogger gave to pique, to barce vs PSG aggregate score line, so barce will progress 5-9 on aggregate!

It is seeming more and more likely that Aguero and Alaba would be wearing our shirt next season.

Stop being deliberately stupid. Can't you read what was written? Isn't it self explanatory enough?

If it was Umtiti, you would have been swearing with your left balls that he played well even when every sensible person knows that he played trash.
