Re: Match Day Thread

What a pathetic first half from us against a third tier team.

Also gutted for Samper. Injured again

[danyjr]

Isaac Cuenca > Ousmane Dembélé

Not even joking.

[danyjr]

Barcelona first shot on target at 70th minute

[Myesyats]

Dembélé

Everything about him is wrong. His turnovers. His intensity.

Literally not worth a penny this guy.

Literally only one person still hypes up this guy, Hopeless Hans.

In reality he's just a dark skinned Deulofeu.

[danyjr]

I reckon even Hopeless gave up on this numpty.

[alexjanosik]

Seems like we will play full strength in the Copa this year too. It has cost us in the CL past 3 seasons. We play the starters in 6 extra games in Jan and Feb when they should be resting for CL. Come the CL quarters, they are dead tired.
The Copa should be purely for the bench and B teamers.

[alexjanosik]

Why do we play Rafinha? He is useless.

[danyjr]

Not gonna lie he has been really poor. Always does the same cutting in on his left foot and not being able to do anything. But at least he works harder than Dumbouz.

Watching this match after Arsenal vs Liverpool. Difference in quality is day and night tbh.

[alexjanosik]

What a joke. As I said previously, Busquets is done. Watching him track back is hilarious. And Roberto as usual not knowing where his man is.

[alexjanosik]

Why does Roberto start? The guy cant defend whatsoever.

[Hapless_Hans]

Imagine blaming Dembele for this trainwreck of a performance

[alexjanosik]

Who blamed Dembele? This one is on Busquets, Roberto, Rafinha and Lenglet.

[alexjanosik]

Busquets has had a shocker. He is done in such intense games. Just cant keep up. We need a new DM.

[alexjanosik]

To go from Xavi and Iniesta to Roberto and Rafinha.
Dumb and dumber.

[alexjanosik]

Pique
Single handedly brought us back into the match. Even after the equalizer, still kept pushing. Would have lost without him stepping up. The only positive from the match.

[danyjr]

Really poor game from Barcelona, completely exposed the weaknesses by a bottom league team. Can't believe some of you think you have a chance at winning CL I'd be happy with La Liga alone.

[windkick]

Damn we got lucky. Really worrying how bad we were against a third tier team and a bottom of the table team.

Why don't we have a shot at CL? Lol every top team is struggling; Bayern, Madrid, Atletico... We have as much a chance as all the other top teams out there.

Not saying we're going to win but all the top teams are suspect this season and anything can happen.

[danyjr]

Manchester City and Juventus look better than Barcelona. Way better.

[Myesyats]

Man City doesn't have the heritage to step up to Barca

Juve, agreed. That makes one team.

[futbol]

Man City romping minnows means little. Pep drills his teams to play every game like a CL final. Meanwhile we win 5-1 against Madrid and take a cocky chill the next game. So what? Pep has never come close to winning the CL without Övrebo assisting Iniesta or Messi taking the ball from the halfway line. So he won't do it with the Man City jabronies.

Juventus are surely the top 3 favourites for the CL this season, no doubt. But Juventus winning finals won't happen in my life time anymore, let's be honest.

[Winter is Coming]

I wouldn't say he hasn't been close, as in 2012, Messi missing a PK and Sanchez hitting the post denied as a final and in his last year at BM Muller missed a PK to deny them another final, but yeah I don't think this City side have an leaders in it like most dominate teams do, nor do I think they have many mentally strong players.

I don't trust EV at the end, he'll drain Messi in the league as he's 31 now, once the KO rounds are here, he'll have nothing to give and no one else will step up. Suarez has 4 goals in 19 games in the CL also.

It's not EV's fault though, Messi has to play most games because as you can see, without him, we struggle even against a wide open Rayo... which should be a walk in the park, shouldnt it?

Is it better to have a Pep who motivates his player for EVERY game like it's their last or a Valverde who couldn't motivate anybody even if his life depended on it?

[alexjanosik]

Very good performance from us. Deserved to win. Alas, Roberto the gift that keeps on giving. Didnt win a single duel against Perisic. And allows Icardi all the time in the world to do a 180 in the box. Why is this piece of garbage still playing for us? Doesnt help that Busquets also assisted the goal.

I am very happy with the pressing and our midfield play. Only negative was that we didnt always make the right decision before the final shot. Coutinho and Rakitic were the biggest culprits. Missed playing the ball to an open man multiple times; instead going for glory.

I have just one question. Where do I sign to ship Scruberto out of Barcelona?

[Myesyats]

Did we play this good or is Inter just shit?

With better finishing it couldve been an absolute embarrasment. I expected Inter to be more solid in general.

[Kebab]

Poor attack
Great midfield
Good/average defense

With better final pass and final shot score would be much higher. At least 4 or 5 goals are wasted
