Dortmund lost 5-2 to another bundesliga team a couple weeks ago. Maybe it’s just a Dortmund problem

All due respect but please get outta here with this hysterical bull... He's showing potential

On another day he could've been on a hattrick. These goals will come, he gets at the end of chances with such ease

Dude was a back pass statue. Dunno what the team tactics were but he was also moving into his teammates with his "dribbling".

What potential is he showing? He shot the ball off-target in 2-3 open goal situations.

Poor passes. Bad touch. Low intelligence. Low on confidence. Even the Camp Nou was having enough of him.

by Myesyats Thu 17 Feb - 22:24:54

What are you talking about. His iq and off the ball movement is great. If it wasnt he wouldnt be getting into so many good scoring positions. Of course he didnt score any of them tonight but it may be a mental issue since he was a good finisher at City. He will improve on that

Bad touch? You're biased af

Didnt even realize the earlier weird kickoff time for Europa matches Razz

Just caught up the match... Xavi actually rotated the likes of Busquets, wow... Surprisingly we again dominated Napoli, it seems like SErie A teams just arent able to compete tempo wise. Serie A is just too slow n full of fouls, once in Europe its a different story n they cant handle it?

Ferran seems gonna be our primary pen taker n FK taker... hope its not a thing to come but his finishing was so off... also clearly he cant dribble to beat an opponent, his best attributes are movement n runs, n I guess some link up play, but pretty as expected, a 7 player Razz

Dembele was so exciting again as a sub, so at least we got him as that for the rest of the season. Adama is like everyone said, not enough end product... Auba keeps improving which is good.

Eric again was static again for that goal conceded, no surprise there. Worry for our next games if no Pique n Araujo, will be watching Eric partnering Lenglet or Umtiti, goals conceded guaranteed.

And wtf @ Dortmund, shameful stuff...

by Myesyats Thu 24 Feb - 22:56:58

Pique with a goal just before HT, leading 1-3 but Ferran's decision making in front of goal remains questionable

by Myesyats Thu 24 Feb - 23:06:01

Love or hate, Jordi Alba is freaking instrumental in Barca's attack. What a player

Xavi is the second coming of Jesucristo

by danyjr Thu 24 Feb - 23:31:28

Torres makes my eyes hurt. It is not just his lack of balls, he is not intelligent. People say his movements are good, what is that good for when you take an elephant's touch every time the ball is given to you or lack the final ball?

Yet Xavi plays him 90 minutes after 90 minutes because he spent €55m on him.

great giveaway from puig Laughing

Rookie mistake from Xavi. Making 5 subs was unwise at this stage, even with a comfortable lead this defence cannot be trusted. 3 subs max

by McLewis Fri 25 Feb - 0:34:30

James Tavernier is such a fun player to watch. Big reason Rangers came out on top against Dortmund.

by BarcaLearning Fri 25 Feb - 9:46:38

We upgraded in Jan. some, n Xavi finally gets the starting 11 right with our best players instead of Barca B scrubs, together with all the other improvements hes made means we are back to pwning Napoli like in the past Very Happy

Still, surprised by how pooor they were. Like top 4 La Liga team completely outplaying top 4 Serie A team. Its still a wonder how we got knocked out by freakin Roma!

Loved our pressing n positioning in the first half, Napoli just couldnt cope. Spaletti didnt even adjust?

Pique partnering Araujo, Dest finally picking up form, all our injured players are back. I guess Depay n Braithwaite will provide further attacking options, but suddenly we are quite loaded up front Very Happy

Auba n Ferran full of movement n speed, Adama was a beast again, great to watch. If he contines to improve his intelligence n final ball, I might not even miss Dembele next season...

Europa League 21/22 - Page 3 Uel_draw.jpg

Easy draw for us. Glad 2 of Leverkusen, Atalanta, Sevilla and WHU will be out come next round.

by futbol_bill Fri 25 Feb - 19:48:01

Do we expect Moscow Spartak to get kicked out?

by danyjr Fri 25 Feb - 20:39:02

Isn't that politicising football?

I would rather they didn't allow matches to be played in Russia, so both legs with Leipzig to be played in a neutral ground.

by BarcaLearning Fri 25 Feb - 22:19:25

Galatasaray... iirc they are famous for buying over the hill stars, so we should get past them fairly easily... so we are actually favourites to win it all of a sudden, with Sevilla n Leipzig 2nd n 3rd favs...
