2-2

#

FT
BILBAO 2 - 2 OSASUNA

grim thicket
#

ok we should be able to beat bilbao unless they suddenly turn into pep's barca against us

gilded mist
#

they beat atletico

grave glen
grim thicket
#

lol

#

id say the top 2 most difficult fixtures for us are sevilla and villarreal

#

we barely beat sevilla last time out

#

and we drew against villarreal which couldve well been a loss

wooden sail
#

Nah i left by mistake and when i rejoined it pushed me to lounge by default and it takes some time to come back

#

Nvm next sevilla vs real

#

Hope it will be a golazo

Was about time

#

Valencia fans are protesting

grave glen
#

i'm sorry, i'm dumb lol

iron marten
#

They're protesting against the owner of the club called 'Peter Lim'

grave glen
#

ofc it's about an owner

#

what'd he do?

iron marten
#

Valencia fans have been unhappy with Lim’s administration and often accuse him of running the club solely as a business

#

They're currently 14th, which is unacceptable

grave glen
#

that seems to explain how they've fallen off from finishing in ucl round of 16 last season to 14th in la liga this season

iron marten
#

Yeah, pretty sad

grave glen
#

thanks for telling me the basics tho

iron marten
#

Np

Peter Lim is Valencia's Jesus Gil

#

No way did you not see that run he had and his free kicks? He was clear man of the match

Noooo wayyy he was invisible lol

Messi man of the match

idc what anyone says from here on

covert monolith
#

ter stegen or oblak imo

#

they both kept their teams in the game

#

araujo and messi were our best field players

#

Barcelona men should learn from Barcelona Women

slender olive
#

agree

#

theyre a machine

arctic geyser
#

yea

still pagoda
#

i dont understand why Ramos and Varane would both want to leave

#

they've been with us for so many years and leave out of nowhere, and in the same summer?

oblak and ter stegen

-_-

#

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

#

none of the teams deserve it

#

@devout geyser F

winged phoenix
#

all 3 teams have been dreadful

#

atleti were hardly consistent

#

real lost to small teams

#

and as we know

#

barcelona are crap

#

against both

#

big, medium

#

and small oppositions

#

🙏

icy jolt
#

laughs in following Athletic Bilbao

inland hound
#

so imo we deserver as we beat all top teams

#

too

inland hound
#

Varane isnt renewing

winged phoenix
#

but if some1 were to choose between barca, madrid

#

and athleti

#

then you deserve

#

it

#

but

#

can't wait for next year's el clasico

#

alaba vs pique

#

own goals galore

Yes imagine no trophies even tho we made it this far

Hi

#

hi!

Hlo

#

Can barca still win la liga

grave glen
#

Mathematically yes

quiet axle
#

Very less chances now after drawing with atletico

#

😢😭

grave glen
#

But I don't see them lifting the trophy

quiet axle
#

Hmm

#

Puig should had come

grave glen
#

It's definitely not in their hands anymore

quiet axle
#

instead of moriba

grave glen
#

He definitely would've flipped it back into Barcelona's favour

#

At least the number of chances would've been more had he been there

arctic geyser
#

Real Madrid have the h2h advantage

grave glen
#

if they beat sevilla they'll be in the driving seat for sure

arctic geyser
#

Espanyol deserve it they are big for 2nd division

winged phoenix
#

but they are our rivals

#

and we do shit in derbies

#

as of late

#

which is kinda shit

#

i remember back at the start of 2020, Barca vs Espanyol ended 2-2

Barca playedwith 10 men

I want every Barca fans opinion on koeman

we've still made tons of progress

#

Would be so stupid to sack him rn

#

He's earned at least another season

paper spruce

#

You don't know that

paper spruce
# slender olive You don't know that

I mean, we haven't won against any big team yet which says something. And we looked so poor against teams who have tactically good managers. Simeone, zidane, poch etc.

what's the news today

grave glen
#

Sevilla is win ing today

#

hlo guys

#

y'all know who ray hudson is?

wooden sail
grave glen
#

I don't think he should be fired anytime before 2023

#

he's not got the chances to sign players and form tactics

#

def needs to stay for at least one season more

winged phoenix
#

pjanic is 5th in the pekking order

#

before the busquets injury

#

now he is 4th

#

he will probs come on as a sub

#

for the games

winged phoenix
#

or sell players

#

and let's see

#

so far i am neutral

paper spruce
# grave glen he's def on the right track bruh why're people after his life

Has he transformed the team? Yes
Has he progressed the team well? Yes
Has he improved the squad? Yes
Do I think he should stay till next season? No. For the following reasons.
1- tactically poor. Hasn't tactically outclassed any tactically good manager.
2- we wont win anything big under him. He hasn't won against ANY big team but sevilla and bilbao in the copa del ray which we played them in their worst form.
3- he improved players but also stopped the growth of players like puig and trincao.
4- stupidly NOT resting players like de jong, lenglet, alba, pedri and more.
5- his second half instructions are awful. We most of the time play like a Sunday league team in the 2nd half and if we're winning, we still sit back. Even if it's against a 10 men villarreal, Granada, bilbao and I can name more.

If we won the league then sure, I can give him another season. If he didn't, I don't think he should stay.
I hope I cleared myself.

#

@winged phoenix ^

winged phoenix
#

Yes

#

I agree with what you said

#

He isn't tactically good

#

But the only reason is the mentality

#

which is also not complete

#

it is as inconsistent as arsenal's form

#

sometime we play superb

#

for eg juve: 0-2
sociedad 1-6

#

sometimes we play awful (I am only including the matches after his tactical change)

#

real 1-2

#

etc.

#

His in game management is really poor

#

Brings on defensive players when we are in desperate need for goals

#

Makes really late substitutions

#

More over, he complains waaay to much

#

about the refereeing decisions

#

and also criticizes the match schedules

#

yet he uses almost the same starting 11 over and over again

#

against getafe iirc,

#

he changed all the three CBs

#

what will he achieve by doing this

#

he will only shatter the organization and order of the defence

#

We are not showing hunger for more goals like for eg: chelsea

#

This was observed in koeman's debut

#

when we won 4-0

#

we scored 4 oals in the first half

#

and hardly attacked in the second

#

this wasn't taken into notice since we won comfortably

#

Also

#

the main thing i hate about koeman is that

#

he does stuff involving his personal stuff ie emotions and grudges

#

He stopped playing puig

#

when he refused to go out on loan

#

and when the media pressurized him

#

he finally played him

#

and he brought him on as a 85th minute sub

#

and when pjanic asked for more game time publicly

#

koeman hardly played him

#

in any of the big games

#

we need to make the swap deal worth it (to a slight extent)

#

but no

#

he keeps benching him

#

other than Juve

#

he never started any of the big games

#

even when busquets was out of form

#

in the first half of the season

grave glen
#

Sergio Ramos is the best center back of all time

#

You can’t top this

hybrid python
#

But ofc Ramos has a bigger pr

grave glen
#

what’s a pr?

#

More stats that corroborate my claim

#

16 years in top level, 17 years in professional level, 72 goals as a defender in la liga, 23 goals in NT

#

insane statistics

hybrid python
#

Pique has 15 goals in ucl 💀

#

No pens btw

#

Check Ramos 🥱

grave glen
#

Why are barca-real fans so biased 😐

hybrid python
#

Not being biased at all it’s just unbelievable how Ramos gets protected

#

If you watch del bosque’s documentary on 2010 World Cup there’s a reason he paired Puyol and pique at Cb

#

And Ramos at rb

inland hound
#

He was a fullback at the start

hybrid python
#

Both

#

Rb and Cb

inland hound
#

He was converted to a CB later

winged phoenix
#

pique has more

#

pique will have 21

#

ramos will have 20

inland hound
#

Yes

grave glen

#

For me, it’s between Ramos and Maldini

There are some others aswell that I can’t remember right now

#

Piqué is also up there of course

Saying a player is exclusively one position is like saying a band is exclusively one genre

what was your point @paper spruce

inland hound
grave glen
#

Who would you say was best in Juve’s BBC?

hybrid python
#

World Cup was in 2010

grave glen
#

Barzagli, Chiellini or Bonucci?

hybrid python
#

Bonucci

iron marten
#

Chiellini

inland hound
grave glen
#

Same

#

Chiellini

hybrid python
#

Bonucci was a beast in 16/17

#

Pretty much underrated

grave glen
#

Did y’all know barzagli won a bundesliga

#

With Wofbsurg

inland hound
#

never knew lol

grave glen
#

Alright guys

#

Besides Piqué, Ramos or Godín

#

Who has been the best defender in la liga the past 10 years

grim thicket
#

pepe

#

varane

#

gimenez

#

silva?

#

which silva?

inland hound
#

nvm

#

thiago silva

grim thicket
#

there are a lot of silvas lol

#

thiago silv never played in laliga iirc

grave glen
#

Iñigo Martinez

#

I asked for la liga folks silva never played in spain

grim thicket
#

are you considering fullbacks too or CBs only?

inland hound
grim thicket
#

ah

grave glen
#

Let’s reduce to CB’s

#

Any fullback who is known to perform as CB counts if course

grim thicket
#

puyol had a part of his career during the 10's but it was kinda past his peak

inland hound
#

ye

grim thicket
#

oh yes

#

mascherano

grave glen
#

Yep

#

Was about to say masche

grim thicket
#

how come you mentioned pique and not mascherano? mascherano literally babysat pique

#

ah

grave glen
#

Oh and demichelis at malaga was pretty fire at one point

inland hound
grave glen
#

That’s debatable but not crazy to say

iron marten
#

Mascherano was like a tank

grave glen
#

Koundé has been great for sevilla

grim thicket
#

otamendi was decent during his time in valencia

grave glen
#

Matter fact sevilla has had many great CBs over the years

iron marten
grim thicket
#

i think we are linked to kounde/pau torres in case both ramos and varane leave

#

possibly gonna be kounde over pau torres

inland hound
#

eh? Alaba will start

grim thicket
#

if we make the 3atb a constant thing we are looking at 3 decent CBs

inland hound
#

Alaba wont be backup for sure

grim thicket
#

and backups with that

#

2 going out, 1 coming in

#

we need more CB depth

inland hound
#

Nacho/

#

?

grim thicket
#

yes but 2 CBs going out, and 1 coming in

#

we need one more...chust isnt good enough

inland hound
#

nacho is

#

backup

grim thicket
#

....

#

ramos and varane out, alaba and ____ in....

hybrid python
grim thicket
#

im wondering who the ____ is gonna be

inland hound
#

Militao start

grim thicket
#

also i dont trust alaba's defensive capabilities

#

i think its a bad signing and we are gonna regret it

grave glen
inland hound
#

Well mili there

inland hound
grave glen
#

I swear to God people here don’t even look at what is being said

grim thicket
#

he is very bad in recovery

inland hound
#

can give longs very well

grim thicket
#

like awful

inland hound
#

Thats wat we played with ramos n Varane

grave glen
hybrid python
#

Take the l and move on

grave glen
#

Still Sevilla has had amazing center backs

grim thicket
#

yes but both ramos and varane were extremely adept in ball recovery

#

alaba is very bad at it

grave glen
hybrid python
#

My god

grim thicket
#

and over the past couple seasons, our defence has been our strength

#

cant let that go to hell

hybrid python
#

He played for spain nt in 2013

#

Go watch cartoon man 😭

grave glen
#

@hybrid python It’s okay english is difficult I get it, keep studying it

inland hound
#

we wont get VVD

#

so alaba is ryt

grim thicket
#

ofc we wont get VVD lol

hybrid python
#

Fella started watching from 2015 😭

grim thicket
#

but considering alaba's wages against his capabilities i feel like its a rlly bad signing

hybrid python
#

Alaba has more negatives than positives

inland hound
#

VVD is very good with the ball

hybrid python
#

Personally Miltao and nacho is better for Madrid

inland hound
hybrid python
#

Both are aggressive and risk taking defenders

grim thicket
#

that doesnt mean we have to splash all the cash over a below-par player

grave glen
#

@iron marten what sevilla cb’s have been your faves?

grim thicket
#

wdym, nacho is great with the ball

hybrid python
#

Alaba is mid rn

#

He’s sometimes good

grim thicket
#

aint the best long passer, but his ball carrying capabilities are great

inland hound
hybrid python
#

Sometimes bad

inland hound
grave glen
#

Last 10 years

grim thicket
#

he does a lot of the work to overload the left flank during our attacking phase

inland hound
#

agree but alaba is way better than him with the ball

grim thicket
#

yes true, but alaba is absolute dogshit defensively

grim thicket
#

while nacho is quite adept

hybrid python
#

It’s better if you watch some football rather than telling me to understand English 💀

grim thicket
#

alaba's defensive prowess worked at bayern, coz they didnt care about conceding and all of bundesliga is suicide pressing

inland hound
grim thicket
#

but real dont play like that

#

and laliga is very different

inland hound
grave glen
#

Somebody tell this guy that I asked for the best center backs of la liga the last 10 years and not the best defenders for spanish NT, dude seems to be as dense as a rock

hybrid python
#

One in behind run from a pact attacker Alaba gets beaten

grim thicket
#

yes

inland hound
#

We will see how he does

grim thicket
#

and thats gonna kill us against those bottom teams

#

that go route 1

inland hound
#

Morever we need attacking wingers

#

i dont mind changing the defense

grim thicket
#

we need mbappe period

#

no other attacking wingers

#

whatever happens, we need mbappe

grave glen
#

Mbappé isn’t leaving PSG

grim thicket
#

he hasnt signed an extension yet

inland hound
#

We cant go with vini in attack

grim thicket
#

and psg have offered him like 6 times i think

inland hound
grim thicket
#

they also lowered his asking price

inland hound
#

With salary rise

hybrid python
#

Vini is performed well than last season

grim thicket
#

vini has been...meh

grave glen
inland hound
#

he was a beat

grim thicket
#

he has developed but not at the rate we wanted

grave glen
#

Imagine defending vinicius

How deluded can you be

inland hound
grim thicket
#

vini has improved, but he is nowhere near where we wanted him to be

inland hound
#

he dosnt create

#

his links are trash

#

with the wingbacks

hybrid python
#

So that’s what I said he’s improved and is performing well than last season

grim thicket
#

he isnt awful with the ball, and he kinda formed a good relation with benzema on attack....but his decision making still leaves us wanting more

inland hound
hybrid python
#

He’s a 2nd option of your team man

#

Hazard is 1st

inland hound
grim thicket
#

hazard can fuck off wenger

hybrid python
#

Can easily say he’s been better than hazard

grim thicket
#

ofc he is lol

inland hound
#

so keep him

grim thicket
#

well do whatever, but hazard can well and truly fuck off now

grave glen
#

The best u can get from hazard is probably 30 mil from some small club

grim thicket
#

just like bale....well atleast bale is still a club legend for his contributions

hybrid python
#

No ones gonna get hazard rn

grim thicket
#

hazard is just...shit

grave glen
hybrid python
#

We’re getting Coutinho out smh

#

3 years of that wages

grim thicket
#

hazard earns 650k pw....better to just give him away for free and save that cash imo

#

same as bale

hybrid python
#

Getting out

grave glen
#

Coutinho isn’t bad if u play him in his actual position...

inland hound
hybrid python
#

He’s dogshite

grim thicket
#

hazard will never return to full fitness imo

hybrid python
#

Coutinho is the worst signing in la Liga history

grim thicket
#

its just gonna be like this

liverpool are better off without coutinho

Rebuilded a whole sqaud with that man

grim thicket
#

they found the perfect synergy

hybrid python
#

160M well spent

grim thicket
#

VVD, alisson and whatnot

#

Now Chelsea are doing the same

#

With the hazard cash

grim thicket
#

yep

Where is Coutinho these days?

Why doesn't he play

possibly varane too i think?

ramos out for the season too?

Ramos, Carva and Vazquez

well if its marcelo and odriozola playing id rather prefer a 3atb with nacho militao and chust....if fede is playing then maybe just nacho and militao works

And oh earlier today

Castilla got in the playoffs for the segunda

Barça b too

how about starting casemiro as a 3rd CB and playing Blanco in casemiro's place?

hybrid python

Will never happen

Sevilla midfielders will press blanco so hard he’ll lose possession

He’s actually a class manager

if roma can beat man utd in a one off game, villarreal def can

I forgot about Setien lol

He was alright with Betis

But a complete disaster with Barcelona

wasn't given time

nor players

you can blame him for the economic crises

#

Setién what a joke lol

hybrid python
#

Mf still want to keep Koeman 💀

grave glen
#

and ofc Phil's transfer which ruined us financially

#

but not the team's performances

#

Tata Martino was equally worse

iron marten
#

Setien always talked too big

grave glen
#

club prez isn't supposed to help the team play football

#

Some managers don’t have balls big enough for big teams

#

They can’t handle it

grave glen

Pimi

has had no transfers

of his own

Laporta isn’t keeping him

grave glen

Laporta lmao

Quite sure

grave glen

the angel of Barcelona fans

#

better than Barto but even he can't do much to "help" the team play well

grave glen
#

everyone's focused on keeping Messi happy

#

that's the new meaning of Més Que Un Club?

grave glen
#

it's because of fans like these that Luis Enrique came under pressure

Bruh

blaming club prez for style-of-play related issues is the lamest thing ngl

he's not gonna come on the pitch and put Leo through on goal

This is a more complete list

grave glen
#

exactly why I feel Barcelona could've done better

hybrid python
#

If this results keep you happy then Barça isn’t a serious club

grave glen
#

but Koeman's not got the players he believes will be able to implement his tactics

hybrid python
#

💀

grave glen
#

the defense is trash

hybrid python
#

He changed his system 3 times

grave glen
#

there's no striker

grave glen
#

experimented at the beginning of the season with nothing to lose

#

that's what should earn him praise and not slack

hybrid python
#

I’m fine with 3-5-2

grave glen
hybrid python
#

But he literally doesn’t imply any tactics 💀

grave glen
#

Barcelona are 100% harmless from crosses because there's no striker

grave glen
#

Is everyone bad at reading here

grave glen
#

so just one more season, that's how we can judge his abilities

inland hound
grave glen
#

I was against him right away

#

but he changed my take

hybrid python
#

He does well in la liga then chokes in big games lol

grave glen
#

tbh players choke too

grave glen
hybrid python
#

And who puts the player ?

#

How can you be so dumb to put Roberto 😭

grave glen
#

they just lose motivation the moment they go a goal down and start walking around with their heads down

hybrid python
#

When we need a goal

grave glen
#

at CM

hybrid python
#

...

grave glen
#

there's no point putting him at RWB/RB

#

that's one mistake, I agree

hybrid python
#

Roberto deadass is the worst player we have rn

grave glen
hybrid python
#

He can’t even run ffs 😭

grave glen
#

they all need time

hybrid python
#

Dest offers more at the right side than Roberto does 💀

grave glen
#

Barcelona were stunned in 2020

hybrid python
#

Roberto is backpass merchant

grave glen
#

you can't expect them to fully turn it around

grave glen
hybrid python
#

If you watched the Granada game it’ll help you probably

grave glen
#

I have seen it

#

both goals were very much avoidable

hybrid python
#

1 mistake led to a goal

grave glen
#

Piqué and Mingueza slipped up

hybrid python
#

And it was done by Roberto

wintry obsidian
#

Villarreal-Celta on rn

grave glen
#

Araujo was back to his best yesterday

#

Koeman doesn't have a tactical outline yet

#

Zidane has never had one

#

that doesn't make him bad

#

doesn't make him good either

#

that's why they need to keep Koeman for another season

hybrid python
#

Zidane has the worst sqaud he ever had and he’s walking la liga

grave glen
#

the dependence on Messi is reducing

hybrid python
#

💀💀💀

grave glen

another thing to praise Koeman for

grave glen
grim thicket
grave glen
#

the players might not win as many

hybrid python
#

It wasn’t lmaoo

grave glen

games

#

but they know what to do even without Messi

hybrid python
grim thicket
grave glen
#

And he needs to stop using the same formation and same players every game, literally anyone can predict his lineup...

grave glen
inland hound
grave glen
#

he didn't have clear cut tactics

grim thicket
grave glen
#

knew how to make his midfield get the best out of ronaldo

#

And koeman is also bias for some players

hybrid python
grim thicket
#

zizou during the 3 ucl runs was known best for his HT adjustments id say

grave glen
inland hound
hybrid python
#

Our games are predictable always lol

grave glen
#

4-4-2 Valverde was good

grim thicket
#

the team would be playing at one pace in the first half, and totally change in the second half

hybrid python

Attack from left side

hybrid python

PAss to alba

grim thicket

and zizou's subs were great too

hybrid python

Cutbacks

#

To Messi

Valverde has never lost to Madrid in the league I think

grave glen

# grave glen Zidane was a risk though

zizou was an assistant under pep and ancelotti, and he was in the coaching staff during mourinho's reign....safe to say zizou has learnt from the best of this generation

He went to pep

well not coaching staff

more like, apprentice

hybrid python

Yeah lmfaoo

grim thicket

but he did learn from the best

hybrid python
#

He went to pep and was observing the training sessions

#

I remember the interview of pep and all

grim thicket
#

for an entire season

#

yeah

grave glen
#

even Ancelotti and José alone would mean the best

hybrid python
#

They both used to have a talk

#

After the training session

grim thicket
#

true....and i think there was some recent statistic that zizou has the best UCL win record in the first 50 games managed

#

he beat out pep for that

grave glen
#

wasn't that Pep?

grim thicket
#

he was

hybrid python
#

Pep is

grim thicket

until recently

grave glen

he's second to pep

#

I'm very sure about that

hybrid python

Valverde has 90% win record 💀💀💀🥱🥱🥱

#

In ucl

grim thicket
#

oh no, overall its pep, but the first 50 games only

grave glen
#

he's won a lot but lost many second legs too

grim thicket

thats zizou

grave glen

Tuchel is the best German coach THIS YEAR

first 50 is pep iirc tho

Just one manager has won more Champions League matches in their first 50 outings in charge of Real Madrid than Zinedine Zidane, after the boss earned his 31st victory in the competition on Tuesday.

In what might have been his squad's most complete performance of the campaign, Real bested Liverpool 3-1 in the first leg of the quarter-finals thanks to two goals from Vinicius Junior and one from Marco Asensio.

Only Jupp Heynckes enjoyed a better run than Zidane to begin his European reign, with 32 wins in his first 50 matches.

#

nvm its heynckes

#

zizou is second

grave glen
hybrid python
#

KO

#

Both 2 legs

grim thicket
#

31/50 for zizou, 32/50 for heynckes

grave glen
#

both with a 3 goal advantage

#

Even Messi liked Valverde and told him not to sack him

#

if they fire Koeman they gotta let Messi go as well

hybrid python
#

Both with shite defence

#

Yeah lol

grave glen
#

over the summer itself

grim thicket
#

coz i saw that article recently that zizou had beaten out pep in the first 50 ucl games

hybrid python
#

After the Liverpool game

grave glen
#

that would've left the board with time to decide who to hire

hybrid python
#

They should had

grave glen
hybrid python
#

But barto is stupid Mf

hybrid python
#

Against atleti

grave glen
#

Barto would've kept Valverde to keep Messi happy, I'm 90% sure about that

arctic geyser
#

valverde already blew 2 big leads against roma and liv i thought he would have been sack after liv game

hybrid python
#

We were kinda robbed but atleti got lucky

grave glen
#

Did Bartomeu hire Enrique or no?

hybrid python
#

Yes

grave glen
grave glen
hybrid python
#

Oh yes lol

#

It was mid season

#

We were leading la liga

grave glen
#

Then Enrique is the best manager he ever hired

#

bad decision yet again

hybrid python
#

Super copa semis

hybrid python
#

And lost lol

grave glen
#

he did a lot of good as well

#

which is ignored

grave glen
hybrid python
#

He wanted to continue but his daughter health got worse

#

And he had to left

grave glen
#

nah that happened when he was w Spain

#

he left because managing barcelona was too taxing

hybrid python
#

It was before that

grave glen
#

so he left to rest for a while

hybrid python
#

+barto tax

grave glen
#

before accepting Spain's offer

#

Enrique used to play for Madrid right

Both

grave glen

Damn there were a lot of traitors back in the day

Not really

but no one cared after the treble

Since 2018 it was

grave glen
#

check it out

hybrid python
#

He lied to Messi

grave glen
#

he had a problem

#

because he didn't get Aguero

hybrid python
#

No lol

grave glen
#

after Anoeta

#

he said it again

hybrid python
#

MD just reported the Bartomeu and Messi a week ago

#

Check that if you understand Spanish

grave glen
#

and Zubizarreta got fired

hybrid python
#

The thing was barto came to Messi house in 2018

#

And barto said that he’ll get neymar

grave glen
#

has always had a problem

#

I can't find the article from Jan 2015

#

but this one's similar too

grave glen
hybrid python
#

They solved this thing later

grave glen
#

it's good that he didn't tho

#

Neymar's garbage

hybrid python
#

I know what you mean

#

True

wintry obsidian
#

Neymar is considered as a snake

hybrid python
#

But some football fans still rate neymar

grave glen
#

nah Idc about that

wintry obsidian
#

why would you want him back

grave glen
#

he can't win matches

#

he's wasteful on the ball

hybrid python
#

He’s a snake+injury prone

grave glen
#

if you watch messi's long passes to him in 2015

#

you'll be appalled at the chances neymar missed

#

he was put through on goal 10+ times when he missed

wintry obsidian
#

Neymar is better than Dembele though

grave glen
#

can't compare

wintry obsidian
#

both are wingers

grave glen
#

Neymar would finish the chances Dembele misses for sure

#

but Neymar wouldn't let the others create it for him

#

he'll try doing it himself and end up like a clown

wintry obsidian
#

do yall consider Suarez as a snake

grave glen
#

NO WAY

#

Suarez was kicked out

he probably didnt wanna leave Barca

hey yellow

he definitely didn't

what do you think about pau torres to real madrid links?

He’s a cule

Pau loves Barça since he was a kid

grim thicket

there were links of either kounde or pau torres

grave glen
#

what a complete moron

#

Barto didn't kick Suarez out

#

Koeman did

arctic geyser
#

They kicked because of debt

grave glen
#

why're we still blaming Bartomeu anyway

#

guy's left now

#

he's bad but overhated

#

blamed for things outside his control

#

Barcelona is on the brink of bankruptcy

#

Pau is a culer

#

👀

#

it's his job to ensure the club has a stable economy

#

Bartomeu is the the man culpable for the state Barcelona is in right now

#

economic*

#

not footballing

#

he is the one that approves the business deals, the salaries, the transfers, the managers that get signed

#

Pique is there dad

#

just that I can't stand all this

#

Arthur and Vidal and Raki were all good in 2019

#

and the reply as well

#

tbf barto deserved to win elections in 2015

#

but things went downhill in 2017's window

#

they panicked after neymar left, even though it wasn't a thing to worry about

#

neymar's lack of seriousness started to show in 2017 itself
