You guys are talking about different things. Neuro is saying "Suarez ' touch was awful" whereas Alex is saying "Suarez was out best forward". These are not mutually exclusive and you are both right.

by alexjanosik Mon Mar 23, 2015 4:14 pm

I dont think so.He says Suarez was super awful with every touch and pass which was far from the case.He is clearly implying that Suarez was awful apart from the goal.

I dont think the opposite is true.Suarez almost never goes for the impossible option.If anything,he has been guilty of being too unselfish for us.He has often tried to set up Messi and Neymar when he himself could have tried to score.
The guy is a champion player with a champion mentality.

Just last game vs Man City he refused to pass to Neymar for a tap in and shot instead, so I cant agree with you there.

No reaction, because Neymar knows Suarez isnt selfish and just made a mistake in judgement.

In any event, the arm waving does nothing good. I hate seeing it. We dont have any players on the team only playing for themselves, its not an issue.

by Donuts Mon Mar 23, 2015 4:18 pm

Everytime Suarez gets a yellow i fear that he will get a red for constant bickering.

luckily this ref is used to getting yelled at and not reacting though.

by alexjanosik Mon Mar 23, 2015 4:18 pm

You are right about the shot last game.He did not pass to Neymar but I think it was after Neymar refused to square a couple of times.I think it is something Enrique needs to step in and sort out.We cant have players going for glory in big games instead of doing the sensible thing.

by Donuts Mon Mar 23, 2015 4:20 pm

Aside from form though

8/10 times neymar would of finished those chances off

telling a player not to take a finish and look for a pass will result in a negative.. look what happened to sanchez without confidence.. he rather pass than shoot and i do not want that to happen to either suarez or neymar

they missed easy chances before that shouldn't discourage them to look for a pass all the time.

by The Franchise Mon Mar 23, 2015 4:21 pm

But in that very same game, Neymar had a 1 v 1 with the keeper and passed to Messi.

I dont think its a problem, just bad decisions which can happen.

I dont think any of the front 3 are selfish and are just going for glory.

4/5 : Vigo x Barca
4/8 : Barca x Almeria
4/11: Sevilla x Barca
4/15: PSG x Barca
4/19: Barca x Valencia
4/21: Barca x PSG
4/26: Espanyol x Barca
4/29: Barca x Getafe

Vigo beat us at Camp Nou, so thats a game I hope we can win playing away, the game against Sevilla and Valencia will be difficult as both teams are quality and playing PSG mid week isn't going to help us. I'd also note we still have Sociedad and Atleti if we get by PSG then will have semi-final around that time too.

So we are far from winning the title.

by Donuts Mon Mar 23, 2015 4:25 pm

we are allowed to lose a match which is a great safety net.

by alexjanosik Mon Mar 23, 2015 4:26 pm

Forgot to mention.We really should have scored the third goal.Mehdrid now lead the head to head which means if we are level on points,Mehdrid win the league.It is a close race so there is a very real chance we could end level on points.

by Donuts Mon Mar 23, 2015 4:30 pm

we're 4 pts ahead.
it's either we win by a 1 pt,or 3 or by 4 or lose by 2.

a draw would require some voodoo like results to happen.

Wasn't just Neymar tbf, Messi and Suarez were guilty of it on quite a few occasions too. I was watching in chat and think i must have mentioned about 7 times in the 2nd half " he should have passed there " More often than not even when the pass did come it went to the wrong person, for example i remember Messi laying it off to Neymar near the end when he really should have passed to Suarez not because he was having a better game but because he was better positioned to score.

They are human so decision making isn't going to be perfect all the time but they will have to be more efficient with it if success is to be achieved.

within 10 games sure anything is possible but lets be honest the chance of that happening is not so likely..
but i guess hey anything can happen.

3 games in 7 days, I would like to hope that fatigue and the players still running and pushing was the reason for the bad decision making as oppose to them just having multiple brain farts.

Either way i would like to give a shot out to our CB's, great game. Also Alba had a great game being annoying and running up and down with Bale.

least now he will have the long break during international break.. i think his ban will finally serve us good.

My biggest two problems with Suarez behaviour is how easily he gets sucked into trouble. Every time a decision goes against him he gets agitated beyond what he should and it effects his next decisions, with the ball or making tackles or trying to get another player in trouble.

The 2nd thing is, he needs to stop that bs waving his arms in the air at Neymar when he doesnt receive a pass.

First of all, if thats Messi you know you aint waving your arms anywhere.

Mostly though, Neymar isnt a selfish player. He will pass the ball and try and make an assist, if he doesnt its because he made the wrong decision...not because he is inherently selfish and playing for himself. Suarez himself misses better passing options in selection of shooting.

"He was right to try and finish his chances and not pass," Suarez told RAC1. "Strikers are selfish.

"He is a key player and I'm convinced that he will win the Ballon d'Or."

Coach Messi sorted him out Proud

Cruyff on our performance,

"Football is so great, that you can play a match poorly and win," the Dutchman is quoted as saying by AS.

"When a team plays well, the logical outcome is a win, but when a team plays poorly and wins...

"How many balls did Barca concede? Who won on possession? Madrid, no? Well that’s all that needs to be said."

by BarrileteCosmico Mon Mar 23, 2015 9:43 pm

Someone tell old man Cruyff that we won possession with 52%

by Jack Daniels Mon Mar 23, 2015 10:08 pm

That 2-3% came from the last 10 mins where we were made to look like plague victims in a monkey in the middle game.

Old man Johan has a point BC. Very Happy

by Cruijf Mon Mar 23, 2015 11:37 pm

lol he's absolutely right, Madrid dominated the majority of the game (first 60 mins) and ultimately it was an 'ugly' win for Barca in the sense that the result did not match the performance.

Brilliant player.

I don't agree with those saying Xavi coming on didn't do anything. Busquets I thought was a bigger impact but Xavi coming on was quite big for us. I was calling for Busquets and Xavi to both come on at halftime.
