between all the injuries and then that handball it seems plainly obvious at this point that they arent getting out of the group
the apology from uefa for the var fuck up will keep us nice and warm during those europa league nights
say what you will about ferran, but at least he tries to shoot the fucking ball pretty over wingers banging shit crosses into the shins of fullbacks
I applaud his passion. He was trying to put the team on his back and carry them. You could see it in every close up they gave of him, he was emotional as fuck out there. Unfortunately he was trying to do too much on his own. That missed center to Ansu for an easy goal was the highlight of him doing it, but there were several other dribbles and shots that he didn't need to take. Hey, maybe Inter loses to Pilzen? Maybe we beat Bayern? Lol
We fucking blow. No matter how much control we have over a game, there’s never any true threat. And any time the opposition has a sniff at goal they can generally convert.
Dembele on the left is just not fucking working. I get wanting to have him and Raphinha out there at the same time, but Dembele produces 10x better on the right
And that Benzema goal was just so fucking unlucky. Great MAtS save but it just rebounded right out to Benzema's feet.
theyve been playing scared on offense ever since the injuries trying to protect the defense took out all of the verticality and progressive play that they had earlier in the season in favor of this "game control" nonsense
Trotting out Sergi Roberto at rb today tells us all we needed to know about how this was going to go.
Sergi Roberto only has one move/play. Pass to Busquets/Frenkie who is shadowing him on the inside, because they know that's the only pass he knows how to make
And fucking he'll I wish Ansu would just score a fucking goal and get his confidence back. Poor kid is just stuck and broken right now
SERGI ROBERTO CANNOT OR WILL NOT ADVANCE THE FUCKING BALL. I HATE HIM SO FUCKING MUCH. Center the ball. Give it to the RWer in front of you. DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN A LITTLE PASS BACK AND TO THE MIDDLE.
just play a midfield 3 that hang physically and see what happens busi can play on thursdays and against the valladolids of the world
For the life of me I don’t understand a couple things: a. Why busquets has to start every big game at the 6 and b. Why they are already talking about spending more money on his replacement without giving Frenkie or Nico the opportunity
Yeah. If the insistence is to maintain the identity, there’s no reason to be throwing money around to acquire players from other teams. There’s plenty of talent in the system. Use it.
Back to back At least we've got that going for us. In fact, I'm going to just consider this a major trophy for us to claim we've won these last two years
Gavi is emerging as my favorite player. His balls to the wall don’t give a fuck style of play is so refreshing while watching this group of passive shit birds hit back passes and lame ass crosses.
He reminds me of a few years ago when we'd bring on Arturo Vidal for like 30 minutes and he'd just get out there and harass the fuck out of opponents. Except now with Gavi's young legs, he can do it for longer.
really is a stunning development that its producing better results than glacially paced horizontal passing with spamming crosses
Holy fuck I cannot believe MAtS kept that clean sheet. He owes Busi AND Eric a few beers or a Cadillac or something.
