Na Una know the fault wey Una Dey find for rashford .. person wey Dey deliver a goal or assist in his last five games? Althese toxic Barca fans wey no Dey ever Dey positive Dey tire me

I will watch him against sociedad.

We are less shot of an attacker.

He should prove me wrong..

Derumklala12:
He's just athletic

But the guy ball IQ needs work.. I no understand why him think say him fot use raw pace dribble 3 defenders inside box 18

Athletic with no sense of ball control except leg shots.

Ferran Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal should start.

Ferran on the left.. I prefer him 10x in that position to Rashford.

I miss Fermin Lopez, I wish he was fit.

AirBere:
There's no such thing as long term competitor for Pedri or anyone. This line of thinking usually only work on paper. Pedri is not even up to 23 yet. If Bernal is trained to compete with Pedri then like Nico, he'll end up at Porto or Valencia. It's like those who said that Neymar will be the long term replacement for Messi when he eventually leaves Barca. These things never truly happen. In fact, they never happen.

Shey Thiago was supposed to be long term replacement for Xavi, how did that turn out.? . When Morata first broke out at Madrid, he was tipped to compete fiercely with Benzema and eventually replace him. These things don't work, ever. I understand that you don't expect Bernal to replace Pedri but Bernal isn't here to just compete with Pedri, he'll want to find his own path if he can't play the important games at Barca. So like Thiago and Morata in my example, he'll leave to be a project leader in another club. If played at DM, he'll stay and play along with Pedri, not just COMPETE.

Bernal like most Lamsia graduates are very good on the ball and in tight areas. When Nico first broke out, he was labelled the new Busquet. I watched one game like that where he played side by side with Busquet, I just knew his Barca career was over. He was supposed to be trained to replace Busquet long term not play side by side with him. Playing him side by side by Busquet ended his Barca career.

If the directors at Barca want a solid future DM like someone like Gravenberch who can use his frame to shield the back four while being good at receiving the ball under pressure then Bernal should be trained for that. He's got the build, passing and strength for that.

However, If they want another Nico Gonzalez situation then they should continue having him compete with Pedri. Even a half fit Pedri will always start the most important games for Barca ahead of Bernal. But at DM, he(Bernal) can start important games along with Pedri, Dejong, Gavi and others.

Na just my observation, time will tell as always.

Bernal will play Pedri's position very well.
Bernal and De jong co-side.
Confidence will be his limiting factor for now.

Maybe the use of the word "competitor" though but he can keep Pedri on his toes.

I know we love Pedri but na wetin I dey see.

The season is just starting, when the chips are down and we get to crisis point like during the UCL knock-out stage... We need all players at their best and ready to play all positions.

Nothing like CM or DM.

Thumbs Up to Eric Garcia, our most versatile player so far.

I like a team where anybody can score..

You can't even predict the goal scorers.

Marc Bernal should be trained, I watched some of his clips before his injury. His huge nature would be very instrumental.

I see that guy as a long term competitor to Pedri, Yes Pedri. See how flick keep subbing Pedri for Bernal.

I don't want Pedri Starting every game. No one should be assured of a shirt in this team.

Even if Yamal Returns, The team has proven they can play and win without him.

Rashford has improved
I will give him that...

Olmo getting dispossessed anyhow, that weakling of an AM.

He gat dispossessed against inter that lead to their first goal in the second leg.

He need Fermin back Ahbeg.

Let NLC go on strike...

We ain't paying any Tax.

Nigeria is not US/UK or Canada.

Our recent and past disappointments in the UCL in times past is what gives this people a chance to troll us.

All focus is on the champions league, I don't care about laliga.

Champions league and we defeat Madrid anytime we face them. That is enough for Yamal or Raphinha to be Balon D'Or winner next year.

Balde and Yamal back in training.

We only left with Olmo as AM.. not good.

No more injuries please.

Raphinha 5th
Joke of an Award.

Either way the boys should get back up and focus on the season.

We all know dembele ain't better than Yamal. The match against PSG would prove this. But for now.

I need Lamine back on the pitch and Raphinha should get back to goal scoring form.

Mark my words, Yamal will win nothing less than 3 Balon D'ors and Raphinha 1.

Lamine Yamal came with his entire Family o, who is watching?

Ijostwantto:
this rule of late coming thing, i first think say na lie.
First it was rapha, then jules, now rahford.

Flick no send any player... There's a lota of competition in the squad and it's very good, everyone tryna prove themselve. No one is assured of starting the next match.

joviegghead:
Good day guys!!!

Just curious.

Imagine the Ballon dor was to be awarded to a Barcelona, based on last season's performance.
Who should it be given to?

Raphinha, Pedri or Yamal

Raphinha

This Tax Reform Bill will be Tinubu's undoing, you don't tax people and still expect them to vote for you.

Hopefully the tax stuff would remain just a law that won't be enforced.

I honestly pray so.

What's up with Balde's Injury ?
When is he coming back ?
I need him against PSG.

Balde, Cubarsi, Yamal, Ferran and Raphinha must start and play against PSG.

Katcall:
Young man is trying his best to prove his worth and you still not satisfied. What kind of fans are this

Subsequent matches would tell... For now, I need Lamine back ASAP

Katcall:
I hear PSG is next. You guys should be scared. Not be carried away

we gonna defeat PSG

Almost all our midfielders get yellow card.

I still don't rate Rashford despite the two goals.


Our method of building the play from the back whenever there's a goal kick close to the keeper should stop from today.
We conceded our first goal against inter in the second leg like that.

Instead of building from the back, let the GK play the ball directly.

Stop playing Rashford, take Fermin to the wing and bring in Olmo.

This hansi no get sense.

udatso:
Rashford is just wasting balls. I never liked that guy. His decision making is so poor

Some people here like him na, someone is playing football like an amateur.

Thoth02:
My take on the match.

Casado over de jong. Although de jong is a better passer. I need Casado against Newscastle, nigga is good as winning the ball.

Marc Bernal should gradually be incorporated into the team, let his confidence build.

I no wan see Rashford play anything for this Barca.

Lewandowski still has it in him. Let lewandowski be a starter.. ferran can be coming in for him.

Fermin Lopez is very daring, I love him for that.

If Lamine Yamal is not back by Thursday. Let Fermin Lopez, Lewandowski and Raphinha lead the attack.

With Fermin Lopez on the left and Raphinha on the Right. Lewandowski upfront

Hopefully the bolded hits flick before evening and with Casado starting over de jong we are good to go.

No rashford please.

Kounde must start.

With the right selection we are winning, Newscastle will put up a good fight, an interesting match to watch.

andrewbaba44:
Lewandowski is only not starting because he just returned from injury ,he used Poland to recover fully before this game

Yeah

Katcall:
wetin Rashford do you

He's not suited to our style of play.. We can't be benching people who will make meaningful impact for someone we are "hoping" will do well.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Curbasi passing accuracy is world class...

Can FDJ watch him and learn? Imagine a defender, a center back creating more chances than a midfielder?

Casado is better as a DM than De jong.

Colson:
Rashford is hot 💩

What is hot there? Ahbeg bring in Raphinha Biko

Ahbeg I no wan waste Data stream this match...
I will be checking the scores

Rashford
That attack is somehow

Derumklala12:
Eric as our starting CB 😭😭😭😭

post the lineup

Ijostwantto:
dey play, bro
Hopefully, he'll score he's first goal of the season tomorrow, unless....

He's not scoring any goal.

Thoth02:
No yamal no problem.

Raphinha should play as a right winger, his original position from time.

Ferran on the left and lewandowski upfront.

We are winning tomorrow, the team was not built around Yamal.

I can only wish for Balde and Gavi to return from injury.

We are winning tomorrow.

Ahbeg I don't want to see Rashford on the pitch tomorrow.
