...can we have Sergio Busquets replaced ASAP, please?....
I don't care whether cules say he's been pivotal in our recent success, I'm not just seeing his impact as a holding midfielder, neither am I comfortable with the way he holds on to the ball recklessly in our own half...he's too lethargic; has not been able to read the game as perfectly as he use to, and plays too casual especially in front of our 18 yard box....

I just wish Luis Enrique would talk some sense into him....try these kind of shenanigans against a team like Bayern in UCL & we'd be made to endure unforgettable throes...

Can you please suggest a better replacement?

You got lucky again.


See you in the semis.

Are you sure Madrid will make it to the semis despite the easy draw?

dmcdad:
How Madrid gets easy draws remains a mystery to me.

Don't be surprised if Madrd don't get to the semis despite the easy draw.

My prediction.....
Barca vs PSG
Madrid vs Benfica
Athletico vs Wolfsburg
Bayern vs City


My wish...

Barca vs City
Madrid vs Psg
Athletico vs benfica
Bayern vs Wolfsburg

Nice game and kudos to the boys for a job well done.
Arsenal tried all they could, defended and attacked massively but failed to make their efforts count. Our boys took it easy with them and were able to absorb their pressure.
TerStegen did a great job and showed us he could be the best keeper in the world with time.
Suarez produced a moment of magic by scoring a breathtaking goal as MSN did what they do best to finish off the job.
Kudos to the coach and the players.

AdeLaNa1:
Waiting for him to come and explain in detail how "its easier to play Barca than it is to play Hull City"....

Habah! You no dey forget things ni? You go wicked for real life oooo

Hello friends; the moment we have all be waiting for is upon us. Can Arsenal pull one of the greatest comebacks in football history? Or are we gonna witness another massacre? We will find out in the next 5hours.

My expected line up is this:
......... TerStegen......
Alves....Masch.....Mathieu.......Alba
................Busi

....Rakitic...............Iniesta
.............MSN

1. TerStegen, a very good, talented and brilliant shot stopper with good reflexes and apt ball distribution would have his hands full in the early exchanges as Arsenal would try to score an early goal to boost their faint hope of scaling through. His composure, brilliance and readiness would be put to test.
2. Mascherano is expected to lead the defence line in the absence of Pique. He will definitely miss his partner in crime for his aerial ability, exquisite control and excellent ball distribution from the defence. Mascherano must be ready to absorb all the pressure thrown at him by Arsenal forwards who would be desperately bombarding the defence with the aim of getting something positive.
3. Sergio Busquets is the anchor of the Barca midfield. An unsung hero who has always been underrated in the Barca setup. He's not known for his physical presence, but his tactical awareness and positioning details stand him out as the best among his equals. For the team to assert its authority as usual, Busi has to bring his A game. He must be ready to nullify whatever Arsenal have to offer in the middle of the park.
4. Messi.
Messi is Messi. Arsenal can only pray he has a bad day. And if he does, his partner in crime will take care of proceedings.

Arsenal are hoping to upturn a 2 goal deficit, and as such would rather opt to attack than sitting back. It's gonna be an entertaining 90mins as we watch the best team in the world take on their inferior version(polished Barca B).

When five players are trying to stop just one player; it can only be the football god.

My opinion....

1. None. Nothing has been won yet!
2. Sevilla. They started the season poorly due to new players trying to settle and find their rhythm. They could have been above Madrid by now.
3. Real Madrid. They are nothing but complete disaster.
4. Celta Vigo. They are unlucky to have lost their best player to injury when he was needed most.

dmcdad:
If you ask me I will say they have been going on autopilot all the while as much hasn't changed.

They can't survive Sevilla again.
Ramos too is likely to miss El classico. Shitty club.

philfearon:
With the way they made noise and bragged, I want us to finish their season and finish the career of Wenger and His kids..
6 - 1 will be a very nice score...

Beat them 11-1, Wenger's career is always intact

barackohandso:
Haba. pity na


oya make we score 4. that one go do

Agreed!

dmcdad:
Madrid get lucky win this one. Luck no go save them for long sha.

Their lucky run ends today. Pepe and Ramos aren't playing against Sevila. Expect total demolition. Worst Madrid team in recent time.

barackohandso:
No worry. We go pity them give them just 3-1

3-1 bawo?
Why not 4-0, 5-0 6-1.........?

I can only pitty Arsenal now, it's been been easy for them lately.
Their total downfall started the day their fans started claiming almost all their players were better than Barca player. One aboki even claimed Suarez was slightly better than Giroud while Alexis(that left Barca for Neymar) was better than Neymar. One can only feel sorry for them now for what awaits them at the Camp of no messi.
I can only say it's gonna be #totalannihilation

dmcdad:
Neymar really enjoy that him rest/flexing.

I dey tell you bro.

AdeLaNa1:
Una dey lead by 11 points. Abeg, come borrow United 6 points so we go fit use am enter Top 4

Eiyah, sorry bro, I feel your pain!
I believe with more commitment, passion and readiness, Man U can still usurp that inconsistent City.

Nice game today from the boys for adding more to the woes of already free falling Getafe team.
Neymar is back and we can only hope he continues in the fine form.
Nice seeing Busi and Suarez getting a well deserved rest, hopefully we can get to see the best of Suarez in the next game 'Arsenal in soup'
I just hope and pray we don't have to play a match that would be decided on penalties, na only Pique I trust on PK for now ooooo

nonsoroyalty:
do u have anyone in mind

The only one I know for now is Samper, that's why I'm happy he's called up. Hopefully he can have some minutes of playtime.

dmcdad:
Me too. Busi needs a reliable backup. And for me there is no one better in standing guard in his place than Sergi Samper.

Hopefully he gets some game time today.

My earnest expectation!

nonsoroyalty:
Most minutes for Barcelona this season:
Suarez 3913
Busquets 3412
Mascherano 3325
Rakitic 3312

Masch is suspended while Busquest is not included in the squad to face Getafe. That means we might likely see Samper in action today. I seriously need a solid back-up for Busi.

I feel privileged to support d best club in d world together with u guys,

May ur life never be like dat of Madrid (having a lot of fortunes but still swimming in failure)

You are welcome to the thread of the best club in the world, the envy of other clubs and eternal tormentor of Madrid. You will enjoy yourself here as fans discuss football without insult.
As per the emboldened, you don already show how wicked you go be for real world ooo

Mcleo007:
It took A. di Stefano 216 goals to win 9 la liga,
Raul 228 goals to win 6 la liga,
god-messi 300+ to win 8 la liga,
Tapnaldo 230+ for 1 la liga
It's obvious he's scoring for fun.

This is wickedness bro, do you have to remind them of their misery? You go wicked for real life ooooo

ollah1:
Absolutely everything can be read on this thread

I dey tell you bro.
Epl suddenly became substandard within a year because a player is not doing fine. The same player that was once the best in the league.
Hazard is a good player and can still regain his form. But his half time shirt swapping last night was uncalled for. While his substitution could be pinned on injury, his half time behaviour suggests maybe he'd known he wouldn't be playing the game to the end and as such had to get the shirt at half time which in itself was wrong.
He's a very good player on his day but using all sorts of excuses to support his loss of form is not acceptable.
But but but.....na our guy dey talk am and we are already used to his various excuses.

R u guys reading what am reading? Epl is now substandard because some players left and some r flopping while some r there simply cos of the cash.

Lol.....

fF01:
lmao. ar u saying Atletico would wipe Real's Asss again?

Do you know how we always feel whenever we are paired against Arsenal? That's how Athletico would feel getting Madrid #talkofaregularcustomer

dmcdad:
Quote this when the time is right, Madrid will get either of Benfica or Wolfsburg.

No be today bro, it has tayed. That's why they always crash out when they come against a good side. You wan try how krasid and his paddy dey beg luck to shine on them ni? they are not unaware how shitty their club is

dmcdad:
You forget say their midfield Marshall no dey. Imagine how Barça plays without Busi even against smaller teams. It's always like a disaster as we always struggle to keep the ball. Same with them too. Verratti is the boss in the middle of the park.

[b]IMO, we will be affected more if Busi didn't play and our midfield will have looked more porous than theirs. [/b]So imagine...

You are right bro, had Verrati played, it would have been a different story.
And as per the emboldened, Busi still remains one of the few players that have no replacement in the team. we tend to suffer a lot without him, no player has been able to offer what he brings to the table, not even Masch nor Roberto. This should really be a great concern to our coach and the board, if Busi is injured today, we are in for it big time.

fF01:
Champions League Quarter Finals:

Psg vs Bayern

Barcelona Vs Wolfsburg

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid

Man City vs Benfica

This your list isn't bad really. But trust Barca not to get an easy draw, we are used to it already.
Should your prediction come to pass, expect Bayern, Barca, Athletico Madrid and City in the semi finals while there's a possibility of Bayern-Barca final which would definitely be one of the most entertaining finals ever.

dmcdad:
Well if you ask me I will say it will be a different kettle of fish. This is because they wouldn't dare play with the high line like they did against PSG and they wouldn't press. They will surely form 2 lines at the back whereby there won't be much spaces to exploit.

Although frankly with the calibre of players we have now, taking cognizance of the creativity the MSN triumvirate brings, it will be difficult for them to have an answer to it. Yet, it won't have been easy for us either.

At times I felt Chelsea already gave up albeit with the scores still level. I was disappointed because they needed just a goal at that juncture to take the game to extra time.


On a separate note, did you notice that Hidden Ikebe went to get Di Maria's jersey during the HT? Fans were furious... And the guy know say him do f... up, so as him collect am him just run pass everybody go dressing room. HT for that matter and not even FT. Your home again at that. That guy won't be in Chelsea next season, I can bet my left balls.

I was actually referring to PSG as they kept losing possession in the middle of the park. As for Hazard, na your guy go answer that ooooo.

bigkesh:
You play behind an attack that has scored over 120 goals and you can't get 6 assists?
Mikel as a AM can't be this poor

Dmcdad,
Since your are the new adviser to Bimfo on how Chelsea can be better, can you please advice a better role for Mikel? Maybe he's not fit as a DM.

Bigkesh my friend, take heart ehn, you dear team would come back stronger. I'd wanted you guys to qualify maybe we can settle some old scores once and for all. But, it's ain't happening again maybe till 2018.

dmcdad:
I was vexed in that first half. PSG lost the ball too often and at dangerous positions too. A pity they couldn't capitalise.

How about playing them at the Camp with that their midfield? Our boys would have a nice day.
