I prefer Alba/Semedo to what most teams have too tbh. But Roberto and Firpo are clowns. Roberto is a midfielder first of all and not even a good one. Not sure where they scouted out that Firpo turd. Terrible transfer, why not promote some Masia guy instead? Same level but no money wasted at least.

No busquets no problem. Hopefully Vidal keeps starting.

by futbol Sun Oct 06, 2019 8:53 pm

Defense is a joke tbh

by alexjanosik Sun Oct 06, 2019 8:54 pm

3-0 at the break.
Positives. Todibo looks decent for his first big game. Semedo has done well and Dembele proves again why he is an elite talent who just needs to stay healthy for a year.
Negatives : Our team defending is a joke. Dembele doesnt know how to defend in a block of 4. Griezmann can do it better. On the other side, Vidal has been poor at covering and I dont blame him. He is expected to provide movement up front. And when we lose the ball, Messi just stands around watching instead of covering that flank. Vidal cant be expected to be in 2 places at once.

The biggest highlight was the bicycle kick. Suarez with another golazo. Has any player scored more golazos over the past 10 years? I doubt it.

Cant wait for the day we get rid of Messi. Useless and a disgrace to the shirt.

by alexjanosik Sun Oct 06, 2019 9:21 pm

Guy is gassed despite doing jack all. Tells you all.

by alexjanosik Sun Oct 06, 2019 9:27 pm

Semedo is playing like a baller.

by alexjanosik Sun Oct 06, 2019 9:48 pm

Ridiculous call. Refs are definitely against us this season.

by alexjanosik Sun Oct 06, 2019 9:50 pm

What the hell? Lets red card the entire team.

I would buy your argument if he hasnt looked gassed despite not running at all throughout the past GOD knows how many years. Would buy your argumennt if he wasnt on his knees when taking the first free kick in the 15th minute or so. He has his hands on his knees then.
15th minute. And this is a professional athlete getting paid 100m euros a year.
15th minute!!!

Loved Semedo's performance. I like him a lot and I think I might be in a minority of Barca fans. Terrific athlete, one of the few we have. Very neat in possession, solid defensively and makes great runs forward. If he had movement around him (our movement off the ball is non existent), he would be contributing a lot more in offense.

by futbol Sun Oct 06, 2019 10:15 pm

Semedo strangely is better on the left than on the right IMO.

Not surprising. On the left, he has a bit more movement. On the right, there is none whatsoever. He makes a great run forward, realizes there is no one in front of him as Messi as usual is behind the play, gets crowded out and cuts the ball back. Rinse and repeat.

Mateu Lahoz.... not biased, just an idiot

We're almost arriving at that point where it's best for both parties for Messi to move on.

Maybe I am paranoid. But I do feel the refereeing has been biased against us this season. All the 50-50 calls seem to be going against us.

I think a lot of seniors need to be moved on. Something similar to what happened when Pep joined. Build around a new core.

by alexjanosik Sun Oct 06, 2019 10:34 pm

Despite the eye sore that we have witnessed this season, happy with some of the young players. Arthur looks immense and FDJ has settled in well. Thats a midfield thats set atleast for the next 5 years. Semedo has improved and Ansu has emerged. Gives us few things to look forward to.

by alexjanosik Sat Oct 19, 2019 6:01 pm

Seems the blip is over and we are back in form results wise. Comfortable game.

by Myesyats Sat Oct 19, 2019 11:21 pm

I hope this is Busquets' last season with us. Go to China pls.

One by one the great team of 2011 is dismembered. Sad but we're mentally ready.

by danyjr Wed Oct 23, 2019 9:26 pm

It hurts my eyes watching Busquets. He no longer provides anything. Zero protection to the back line. Zero in moving the ball forward.

by Myesyats Thu Oct 24, 2019 1:49 pm

The state of this team lol. Barely scraping by. I don't have time to watch most games these days but I'm not missing out on anything

Also just read a rumor that Koeman has a clause in his contract that he can leave for Barca at any time and is a possible Turdverde replacement.

by danyjr Thu Oct 24, 2019 8:22 pm

Koeman is another beta coach. His track record has been mediocre. You need Pep back and you know it.

by futbol Thu Oct 24, 2019 10:53 pm

We don't need a certified CL flop. lol

by Myesyats Fri Oct 25, 2019 1:58 pm

I'd probably agree. Pep needs to come back, there's a shortage of great managers as well as players i feel like

by Kebab Fri Oct 25, 2019 9:49 pm

Nothing needs to come back. Era is finished. Style of the play is exposed. 15 years was enough to study the ways to stop tiki taka and nowadays everyone knows how to stop it. From now on its just another top team with the best player in the world and its the last years of that player but still there is no genius young talent to replace him

by Myesyats Fri Oct 25, 2019 11:21 pm

Everyone knows how to stop it? Pep's City is doing great, play attractive football and still wins trophies. unlucky in CL but thats another issue

City's games are 10x more watchable than Valverdeball.

We just need more athletic players (aka the opposite of Busquets) and a man like Pep to instruct them. It's that simple

Because right now if I miss game, I feel like i didnt really miss anything. Because we play like garbage
