Heard a few whistles when Messi lost the ball little easily in a half empty Camp Nou today.

Can't say I disagree.

All tactics aside, Gaya would have been completely open in the penalty box if Dembele did not jet back. If Semedo was RB, he would've been able to make it back in time too. Nobody else in Barca beside Dembele and Semedo has enough speed.

Mostly only good for catch and shoot, with a little bit bulldozing and a lot of acting on the side.

Pique fucks up over and over again. Super Copa. UCL. Nothing happens. Umtiti fucks up over and over again. Nothing happens. FUCK THEM Semedo was split second late on a mostly indefensible header. He gets subbed in at 92nd minute. Roma fucked this seniority entitlement shit.

Messi has the best ground defense. He just choose NOT to play defense most of the time by walking around. This was exploited well by Roma. recently? Did Dembele ever play good defense? Today he decided he wanted to play defense the last second and caught up to Gaya's head start with his sheer...

CR7 rarely has to create chances from a deep position. RM does not need him to do. CR7 rarely has the ability to create from a deep position. All CR7 has been doing is poaching. Barca in UCL knockout rounds often HEAVILY relies on Messi creating in a deep position on the right wing. Another...

Can't feel sorry for Messi on this. He is a loner because he chose to. Not because of lack of choices. Dembele is a bigger a problem with Umtiti and Digne on the way out. Griezmann is fluent in Spanish and possibly closer to Suarez/Messi clique than he is to Dembele.

Iniesta too old to play defense. Messi is exempted from playing defense. Pique, Umtiti, Alba should save Barca from players like Dzeko and beyond.

Unbeaten in La Liga who currently has a lower coefficient than EPL this year and possibly the next. Chelsea could've knocked Barca out if Willian was a bit luckier. Pique - too slow and weak defensively Umtiti - too slow defensively and too greedy Alba - too small and weak defensively. Too...

My thoughts and prayers for Coutinho and people that were trashing me for mentioning liverpool as a CL contender this year even without Coutinho a few months back.

He is 32. Can't see Barca having him as a plan B.

So soft and weak and waiting for referee's whistle to bail him out every fight for ball.

Poach? Barca had very few opportunities today.

Out of all 4 Roma goals, the header was the most indefensible goal. Semedo only had a split second to shadow Manolas and then bump/push him in the back to avoid the goal which could have led to a penalty any ways. look at the other 3 goals Roma scored and then see who the best Barca defender is.

The way Dzeko dropped Pique on the floor like Jerome Boatang. Ascensio now Dzeko. Best CB period.

Only rocket scientists realized that it was completely Dembele's fault that Barca's trusted 4-4-2 couldn't counter attack for shit for 85 minutes even with a 3-goal lead.

Too slow on the first goal.

Years ago, nobody can take the ball away from Messi and he used to play defense aggressively and effectively.
