Speedraping farmer teams and misplacing every shot. Total hypejob.

Yeah, I have seen enough of his tricks against minnows. Any decent team reads him well and he ends up nowhere with those one way runs and tricks.

Yea Dembele can do it on pure talent alone vs these teams that are just not competitive level enough or those that gives him a lot of space and time, vs another of the top or organised teams he struggles. Hes worked much harder than often in the past, so hopefully it continues, but Im not at all excited about the results of the last two game or so, vs what Osasuna and this tier 3/4 equailivant of so called CL opponent? Very Happy

CL group stages are a joke I say again these days... dont get too excited lol...

Griezmann back to his old self.

Form is temporary, class is permanent. Bring Pedri on for this French fraud.

by neuro11 Sun Dec 06, 2020 7:50 am

everyone in the squad is now a fraud, who do you blame. Those who were solid are now turning into frauds too. Ter Stegen is one of them.

Griezmann and Coutinho are famous for being unreliable, you can't build the team around a duo like that. No surprises there. Years of mismanagement have built up to this. Imagine spending about €250m on these two.

by FennecFox7 Mon Dec 07, 2020 1:43 pm

You can’t play the with three 10’s (messi, Coutinho, and griezzmann) .. there needs to be width from at least one winger. Pretty easy explanation as to why Barca lost. One needs to hit the bench while the other plays. Wingers stretch the pitch and keep the full backs and defense honest

by danyjr Mon Dec 07, 2020 1:49 pm

Yeah you're right. Really felt bad for Dest being on the right side completely isolated on his own. What happened to those triangles?

by futbol Mon Dec 07, 2020 5:04 pm

Only watched 1 game this season (against Atletico). Expectedly (have a 100 Euro bet on Atletico finishing above Barca when it was announced that Suarez would leave) seems a huge waste of time to spend 2 hours sitting infront of TV to watch this Barca right now.

by Myesyats Mon Dec 07, 2020 11:26 pm

To be fair I watched a couple games and we didn't play that bad, creating a lot but wasting most of the chances. Messi stopped scoring and with Suarez gone we have exactly zero reliable goalscorers. I mean at the start we were leaning on a 17 y/o Ansu, how can you be in serious competition for the title if your main target man is Griezmann? we had no clear plan and structure for this team since 2016 and thus now we are where we are. The new board needs to completely revamp our scouting and transfer market management.

Is it true that Dembele is injured?

The season has not even finished a half, all of our so-called Bag of Talents are gone. yet some of our fans believe they will lead the team to glory.....

La alineación del Barça: Ter Stegen; Dest, Araujo, Lenglet, Jordi Alba; Pjanic, De Jong, Pedri, Trincao, Messi; Griezman.

La alineación de la Juventus: Buffon; Cuadrado, Danilo, De Ligt, Bonucci, Alex Sandro; Ramsey, Arthur, McKennie; Cristiano, Morata.

Could be the last Messi-CR for a long time

by danyjr Tue Dec 08, 2020 8:20 pm

This team is dead. Switched to the United game already.

by BarrileteCosmico Wed Dec 09, 2020 2:34 pm

Overall a pretty sad match. Inconsequential since we are still in the CL but the glaring errors are very discouraging

by Myesyats Thu Dec 10, 2020 4:36 pm

Barcelona's most probable rival in the Champions League R16 is Bayern Munich with 22,1% @2010MisterChip

ah shit, herewegoagain

Interesting stat they just showed, 75% of valencia's attacks come on the right wing and none on the left

by danyjr Sat Dec 19, 2020 5:34 pm

Another mediocre showing deserving of a Europa League spot.

by BarrileteCosmico Sat Dec 19, 2020 6:04 pm

Yeah no one is looking too good at the moment. Kept rolling my eyes every time Busquets was dispossessed. Didn't even try to get it back.

by Winter is Coming Sat Dec 19, 2020 6:55 pm

So many things wrong, we just got ride this storm rebuild is needed time move most these guys along.

Yeah I hadn't ever seen him so disinterested. Not that he could track back due to his speed, but at least make the effort ffs Laughing

by Myesyats Wed Dec 23, 2020 4:01 am

Anyone seen the game? How were we in this unconventional formation and without Griezwomann?

Pedri+Messi bromance is really something, great chemistry

by danyjr Wed Dec 23, 2020 1:27 pm

Both Griezmann and Coutinho are dead weights. Completely incompatible with Messi and can't be relied upon to save the team's ass when Messi isn't playing. Should have sold them both in the summer and signed a proper winger who would have given you width.

by Myesyats Wed Dec 23, 2020 1:41 pm

I agree but good luck selling them with their salary. Bartomeu has completely ruined the wage structure and nobody will be able to meet such crazy demands.

I'm afraid we will be stuck with these 2 for a couple more years....
