Trust you to miss the point entirely Very Happy

More meant in the idea of a professional footballer doing what a random bloke would do.

Another week, another goal. If Barca wants to make a deep CL run, Ousmane needs to be a starter. He's a difference maker.

What a legend FFS. Molenation

I think he's taking the advice he's given because he stopped recklessly losing the ball and focuses more on team work. Gotta applaud the progress he's making.

Meanwhile Coutinho is on his way to be Cesc 2.0. Pool must be laughing so hard

I would have taken any of Firmino, Salah or Mané over this scrub but no, Fartomeu had other ideas.

Elections are in 2021, better starting preparing your campaign now though, Dany

Coutinho's been very good, injuries held him back recently. Still has 5 goals and 4 assists in about 1400 minutes which isn't bad. Will come back stronger next year.

Only if you'd vote for me :wub:

The truth is, even if we assume that Coutinho is world class (IMHO he isn't at all) he doesn't understand the Barça way and there is no place for a player like him in this system.

C’mon man, u cant honestly say he’s great watching him weekly. Dude is permanently benched as long as Dembele keeps up this form. Tell me which position he could realistically play for Barca right now.

He offers less than Dembele as LW in 433, less speed and less goal threat. It’s like having lesser Messi on the opposite side. He cant play LCM cause having Alba/ Coutinho/ Dembele on the same side at the same time is a waste of all three. EV doest think he can play RCM maybe cause he might step on Messi toes too much. He probably can play LM in 442 but it never gonna happen with Suarez on the pitch.

Sofar I seen the same thing happening to Cesc years ago, trying to shoe horn some position for Coutinho and it’s sub optimal. He’s so nonchalant on the pitch and offer that same trick, cut in and shoot. I have no idea why Barca wanted both him and Malcom.

Messi did his best, but Dembele undid his captain's hard work. It has now been made clearer than ever, that chances matter, despite the advantage. pic.twitter.com/e2ZfqGcMlL

Dembele isn't even better than Shaqiri ffs

by Lucifer Tue 7 May - 23:16:27

What a clown ffs rofl

should be shipped to Cardiff or something asap.

by danyjr Tue 7 May - 23:16:42

What makes it worse is that this guy was supposed to replace Neymar rofl

by Firenze Tue 7 May - 23:33:30

I'm actually very very worried that we could trade Pogba for Dembele + cash in the summer

by halamadrid2 Tue 7 May - 23:35:33

If Dembele was available i would definitely take him. He doesn't suit Barca. He takes risk, only Messi is allowed to do that there

Utd will get Bale, not to worry

How about you keep both and Barca pay you cash?

only if by you, you mean actually into my bank account

to make up for the emotional suffering I'll endure with those two numpties playing for my team every week

by Thimmy Tue 7 May - 23:38:16

by Doc Tue 7 May - 23:48:01

Wait, wait, wait. I get he is not exactly worth the price Barca paid but I hope we ain't blaming him for Barcelona blowing a 3 goal lead now? I mean, Barca needed a 4th goal to really win this tie? Seriously?

by Hapless_Hans Tue 7 May - 23:49:36

That's right, let's blame this on the guy who played like 3 minutes in the first leg, and none in the second

by Firenze Tue 7 May - 23:50:47

Every Barca player, fan, staff member and sympathizer is to be held accountable and ridiculed with no exception.

by Mr Nick09 Tue 7 May - 23:51:07

5 minutes and missed a key goal, all things considered.

Conversion of talent to performance, as I said is crap

I mean, I agree. My apologies brother Firenze.

Well EC decides to start him in a meaningless league game when he should've been rested.

I can assure you that you will keep saying this until he is 30, he will not amount to much sadly
