What are you saying. Imagine Ronaldo and Ramos were in the ones in the match when Liverpool scored 4 against us.
You think he will stay and be looking.
The moment wildjnadum scored 2 ,they start gingering the team.

The team morale was low, Valverde was looking like zombie, Messi who all the players look up to was just dull. Nothing from him.
Haven't you noticed when messi steps up,the others step up to.
Same thing against Bayern. At half time,he was just dull. Setien to was foolish. Compare him to Hans flick who was just up and down. Even gattuso when he was losing to us was still active and that was why they played better than us in the 2nd half of that match.

it seems you've forgotten the days of puyol,guardiola,and Enrique. The ginger was flowing both on bench and on the pitch.

Bro,leadership plays a HUGE role in team results.

Ronaldo and Ramos, were they not staying and looking when we bashed them 5-0.?

Ronaldo and Ramos, were they not staying and looking when Athletico bashed them 4-0?

Ronaldo and Ramos, were they not staying and looking when Lyon dumped them out some years ago?

In my eyes Semedo went from 90 to 10 in one split second.

There's this match I saw Puyol yelling at Busquet and Iniesta. This game, we were losing 2-1 to a bottom-placed team and our mastereos were playing really sluggish. Immediately, these two got their rhythm right and we went on to win 5-2.


How about the impact of JT and his influence on Chelsea? I remember Lampard and Drogba affirming that they always had trouble in the dressing room whenever they were playing badly and somehow, whenever they got back after the break, they manage to scale through.


My brother, it's not really about shouting. Who that one help? It's about letting your teammates see that you're not pleased with their passion for play and encouraging them to work better.

And Yes, when you recognize there's a major difference btw having an exquisite work ethic and off-job romance, you'll know that anybody can yelled at to make a difference.


Messi na still the boss, so there's no person in that team he can't yell at if there's need to. That's why he's the captain.

There was also another match we were losing 2-1 to a team at 18th position. Puyol was just barking at Pique and Dani Alvez, motivating them.

Guess what happened. Things changed immediately.


We conceded another goal and lost 3-1.

Somehow, I think this post is sentimental. There's quite a lot that the seemingly 5% can do. It can revive a weary mind, rejuvenate tired legs and lift spirits to help the 70% come into manifestation. Of course, he might not have been able to do that all that against City but trust me, bro, should we have someone vocal enough with enough team respect, the shame of Roma, Liverpool or Bayern might have been averted. Not saying it won't happen, it might not have happened.

Gradually captains are now being asked to do the jobs coaches should be doing.

The coaches are on the sidelines; not too far away that the entire 11 players cannot hear instructions barked at them.

The coach and the assistants have to do more.

This thing about captains shouting and "motivating" their team mates is a myth to me.

I have seen very many captain motivating fire but the team still loses woefully.
I have seen very many captains not speaking a word but his team thrashed the opponents.

It is the job of the coach to study from the sidelines and bark motivating commands and instructions.

Like Mourinho like Fergie Like Simeone Like Klopp Like Conte.

I dont judge players based on stats.They don't tell the full story. Messi had a very average season by his standards but still put up impressive numbers

Pique at this point should be doing what Ramos is doing for Madrid at this moment which is to lead the team from the back while Messi leads from the front. It's not all about numbers as any decent CB can win duels. It's basic defending101.

Yes our situation is way worse than Madrid but that lack of leadership from the backline is why players like Semedo and Alba can make Sunday school football mistakes in crucial games. Not saying it's his fault,but he's currently not providing that and he can go

Let's not look for scape goats where there are none.

Leadership on the pitch is a problem Yes, but it's only max 5 percent of the problem.

70 percent of the problem is having too many tired legs in the team.

And yes we saw how Ramos' leadership skills led Real Madrid past Ajax and Man City.

barackodam:
Koeman: "Frenkie De Jong has not been playing at his best position here. With me, he played closer to the defense. We will do the best for him."

Koeman: "Suárez? I won't talk about individual players here, out of respect."


M'fucker, you just talked about Frenkie, isn't that individual player?

Or frenkie now stands for the whole of Barça

lol

He must thread carefully

He might diss Suarez now and when the season starts the board will force the same Suarez on him.

joviegghead:
Koeman :"It's time to give the young players a chance "

And you think that means 11 young players every game?

Olamyyde:
Lyon wey we rape last season is playing far better against bayern than us. E be things.

Lyon will break..

haymekus:
Selling the first 8 ancestors means barce are saving a whooping 2m+ every week.


Can you fûcking imagine, saving 2m+ from selling waste products, mehn no wonder dey want to wreck this club, cos they know no one will sign their dead asś and pay them so much

Who are the 8 ancestors you want to sell.

Could you name them?

FirstbornWds:
Lol. You are funny.

Pique might be slow but saying he's not offering anything else is too harsh. Boss has won more aerial duels in the box than any other player and has one of those precision passes from the defense line to the offensive. Agreed, he has passed his prime, but it's still very much conducive to see him on the bench as a sub to key down already won games.

Coupled with the crucial goals he gets from corner kicks every now and then.
I said it before...and so many didn't seem to agree with me.
Pique has biased so many games defensively within the past season.
It's almost like everyone is crucifying him for Roma, Liverpool and Bayern when in actual fact it was a collective catastrophe.


See, Messi is not even up for debate.

And Pique is the first of the so called oldies. And he's not going anywhere.

Let's not kid ourselves everybody...

The only players that am sure the club and coach would make a conscious effort to sell are Vidal, Suarez and Rakitic.

The rest are subject to finding the right replacements for them.

Having said that; at least 2 of Alba, Pique, Busquets, Roberto, must still play in our first team in the 2020/21 season.

Let's not kid ourselves..

SMH

So many are still living in the past;

We are still talking Barca style, this one is fit for the club, that one is not fit for the club.

Lol


One would be forgiven to think that all the good players in the world are just waiting for Barca to call and rejecting other clubs.

SMH.

joviegghead:
And can we trust Grizou to always deliver as a no 9.
If Dembele and Messi are occupying the wings, that means Fati, Trincao and Pedri will warm bench tire.

BTW, how come no one is talking about Braithwaite?

Don't Like Griezman as a top 9.
I always like me strikers big, good in the air.

We need to find a striker.

SonOfAfonja:
Please Pique is terrible, and he’s been like that for some years now...he needs to leave, Messi’s magic has been covering the cracks for too long...

Not true.

I know how many games where Pique did a yoemans job at the back. Several games!

joviegghead:
Vidal can go. He might have aggression on the pitch but honestly, the young boys will do so better without getting their hands dirty.
Can Pique survive against a sharp, fast attack. He's past his prime.
I will love to see what Koeman will do to Coutinho(although he wants van de beek).
Umtiti can stay.
But I'm still racking my heading concerning where Messi will play that won't affect the other attackers . Right? No 9? Attacking midfield?

Messi will play right of course.

What we need is a viable option on the left, like Neymar was and Dembele was.

I won't lie Pique has been trying ooh..

Pique is still good. And with a younger Lenglet by his side won't be bad.

It is not uncommon for the top defender in any team to be made a scape goat after such drubbing.

Even a whole Boateng still dey the team wey spank us.
Ramos collect 5-0 from us and him collect from Robben well well.
Even VDK don collect.


Honestly among the oldies I would root for Messi and Pique only; to remain in our starting eleven.

FirstbornWds:
You no well o

lol

Suarez, Rakitic and Roberto must leave. Even if it means to kidnap their mama at gun point.
They are wasting our space.

Busquets, Alba and Vidal should stay but chop bench. If they don't want bench let'em go.

Pique should still be in the first eleven.

anonymous1759:
Don't waste your saliva please for these dude with short memory. All they is criticize and praise you when the going gets good .

Same people criticizing Neymar few years ago are praising him now just because he's into the final.
Barca list 8-2 is not a death sentence Messi is still the best player in the world if you don't like it drink Bleach.

Real Barca fans knows the current Board is problem of Barca not anyone. Coaches are meant to build for the club not the opposite. Barca problem is Bartomeo once he's gone everything will be Ok.

lol @ saliva.

Maybe "dont waste your fingers" rather.

Lol, I know say you just tire for them.

eni4real:
What happen in that match is an accumulation of a 2year problem!!

Now all the players not worthy of playing with the Ballon d'or GOAT, will properly be sold!!

Wusup player!

Are you a Barca fan?

As expected from the Supreme Court Governor, South South zone.

We also have Supreme Court Governor, South East zone and Supreme Court Governor, North West zone.

Remaining NE, NC and SW.


Very soon all the 6 geopolitical zones will be represented and we can have Nigerian Supreme Court Governors' forum NSCGF.

So Kola made this statement because he heard "arrest them"



Arrest who na?

Angelfrost:
Please, analyze football like a grown up...

Messi is not the cause of Barca's current woes... Rather, Barca is basically trying to embarrass the legend.

The club should have had the foresight to trim that team of slacking players at least 2 seasons ago... If they had even started bringing through academy quality, it would have made more sense. Messi would have mentored them, and helped the club maintain the age long quality they have always been known for.

So, I really don't get this your Neymar comparison or argument.

Why are you taking that person seriously?

Can't you see how iv'e been clowning him/ her since?

He/she is a joker. Just be fooling with them.

rastaLivity:
Neymar .jr is one hell of a player, singlehandedly dragging this psg team. It’s unfortunates players are rated by goals. Little wonder a certain player glamours for penalty

Taaaa

Don't repeat that again.

Singlehandedly wetin?

Let the other players leave the pitch for him let's see.

joyandfaith:
neymar has 8+2=10
not all barca fans are messi fans. know that

I am tired of you.

Are you not watching the match?

You don't have tv in on your house?

bastardMODS:
International trophies?

yes

joyandfaith:
yes and 8+2=10
zero UEFA since neymar left
zero international trophy

Neymar has how many?

joyandfaith:
as well as 8+2=10

And this

fartfact:
wetin you dey talk..

heheheheheheehe

E Don dey mad abi

joyandfaith:
clap for yourself. hope they saw 8 +2=10 as well?

Yes they saw it.

But they also saw the diagram below and decided to work with it.

joyandfaith:
what was messi achievement before ronaldinho was sacrificed for him? None
Ronaldinho with 2 Ballon was sacrificed for messi with no single achievement at that time. Do you how much was spent to bring neymar to Barca?

The end justifies the means.

The coaches at Barca saw the talent of Messi and immediately looked into his future and knew he would win 6 Ballon dors.
So they sacrificed Ronaldinho.

The coaches also looked into Neymar's future and saw 0 Ballon dors so they threw him away.
