Funny enough that “worst line up” put a good performance. Dump the two snails in the midfield and drop that loser griezmann and play messi and you have a team

Also, I was right about braithwaite :coffee:

I mean, it was Kiev and there were 2 pens... not that I was able to watch (CL matches have the annoying habit of being during work hours in the US), judging entirely on paper

Kiev gave us a run for the money in the previous game, barely 2-1 at camp nou...... and there was one penalty, not two.

Mingueza and Dest should be starters now, dropping Pique and Roberto. I dont wish injury upon anyone but I'm glad they are sidelined.

We're in a tough spot however because signings are needed badly and cash is not raining down these days.

Mingueza's debut looked better than Eric García's best game. García is incredibly overrated (only by Pep) but I have a feeling even Fraudiola has noticed that as he's not playing him any more. Should really avoid that guy at all costs.

More of a Ramos than a Piqué.

FC BARCELONA: Ter Stegen; Sergiño Dest, Mingueza, Lenglet, Jordi Alba; Pedri, De Jong; Griezmann, Messi, Coutinho; Braithwaite.

OSASUNA: Sergio Herrera; Nacho Vidal, Roncaglia, Raúl Navas, Unai García, Jony; Moncayola, Oier, Íñigo Pérez; Rubén García, Budimir.

Very nice pass from Messi to Griezmann and follow through to Coutinho at around the 10 minute mark. Should've been a goal but Coutinho doesn't have a killer instinct.

And 10 mins later Coutinho shoots straight at the keeper again Laughing

by danyjr on Sun Nov 29, 2020 1:36 pm

Incredible pass from Messi for the goal. Wow.

by danyjr on Sun Nov 29, 2020 1:46 pm

Great goal by Griezmann. That celebration though :facepalm:

by FennecFox7 on Sun Nov 29, 2020 2:05 pm

Braithwaite is a good player. I said this when you guys bought him. Does the simple stuff right and has speed

Goal of the month, celebration of the year :bow:

Messi wearing a NOB jersey under the Barca one Laughing

Message to Bart? Somehow related to Diego?

by Harmonica on Sun Nov 29, 2020 2:37 pm

Fairly sure it was tribute to Diego.

by danyjr on Sun Nov 29, 2020 2:38 pm

Agreed, don't think he cares about Fartomeu no more.

by danyjr on Sun Nov 29, 2020 2:43 pm

7 left-footed players playing for Barça right now Shocked

Lenglet
Alba
Firpo
Aleñá
Messi
Griezmann
Trincão

by danyjr on Sun Nov 29, 2020 2:52 pm

Osasuna got shafted one goal fewer than Madrid did 10 years ago Laughing

by Harmonica on Sun Nov 29, 2020 2:53 pm

by BarrileteCosmico on Sun Nov 29, 2020 2:54 pm

Makes sense. Totally forgot he played for NOB

Yamaha must be thrilled their sponsorship for 25 years ago is still playing dividends Laughing

Hoping good news on Lenglet's injury, it would be UNREAL BAD LUCK if hes out long time just after Pique, I hardly ever seen that for a top club to lose their 2 main (and for us atm only) CBs... we would be so fked with a De Jong/youngsters CB pairing lol.... can imagine Ter Stegen's suffering... like 'wtf am I actually playing in a Barca team?'

Griezmann: "The celebration? This morning I was having breakfast with my daughter, and I asked her how she would like me to celebrate a possible goal. She told me to do this and that's how it was."

He is forgiven.

by danyjr on Sun Nov 29, 2020 11:10 pm

Fine. Shame he scored then.

by BarrileteCosmico on Mon Nov 30, 2020 12:09 am

It was a great volley. Don't be a hater

Good to see that koeman is able to manage messi better. He is rested twice already this season, I guess

by alexjanosik on Wed Dec 02, 2020 11:12 pm

Great game. Dembele with an electric performance. Created danger every time he touched the ball. Those two runs in the second half where he couldnt finish were just out of this world. And what's more, he did it from the left which is not his favorite side. Koeman has done an outstanding job managing him so far. He is an elite talent and one who should form part of our core moving forward. Hoping he stays fit.
Mingueza with another decent performance. I like his profile, certainly far more than that fraud Eric Garcia. Mingueza is fast athletic and very aggressive. Exactly the profile of CB we need. As opposed to Garcia who is soft, slow, weak and useless.
What's surprising is Mingueza has come completely out of the dark. He never featured a lot for the B team and yet he is putting in good displays for the first team.

by Hapless_Hans on Wed Dec 02, 2020 11:38 pm

Anyone else want to comment on Ousmane Dembélé?

Where are the haters?

by danyjr on Wed Dec 02, 2020 11:43 pm

Speedraping farmer teams and misplacing every shot. Total hypejob.
