9 - Luis Suárez - v1

[Gohan]

About the discussion on the last page:

I did like Leo's and Suarez' work and how they created their chances or got into positions to have them. BUT they are strikers after all (yeah I know Messi plays deeper) and we lost the game because they did not convert their chances.
I cannot vote someone MotM who could not do his most important job. Besides that him and Leo had many moments where they lost the ball without heavy pressure or misplaced passes.

Who cares how the voting did go btw? Just because it is a majority of people it does not have to be correct. I trust my own eyes and some opinions that I think are worth to listen to.

Suarez did what he had to do, he made shots on target, played well, tracked back. The ball didn't go in because of 1. Their goalie was keeping incredible 2. It was an unlucky day, hitting the woodwork 4x times.

It was not unlucky. Our finishing was bad.

Hitting the post is not bad finishing. Those 4 times were bad luck. But the team as a whole played badly.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Of course it is. If it happens once or twice, it is not the problem. You can blame it on bad luck.
But what happened vs Celta was simply failure in front of goal. Big time.

As I said in other threads I do not like several things about our play right now but vs Celta we were fine. If we get that much clear cut chances in every game I could not give a shit about player selection, formation etc. We would trash everyone. I know it is not the case though.
But last Saturday our strikers let the team down and we lost due to them. It was pretty easy to see that.

The second Neymar post was pretty bad finishing, he was like three meters away from the goal and he hit the cross bar...

And I also dare to say Messi finished poorly in the play the Celta player cleared it off the line...

I'm not worried about him at all. He's going to score shitloads here. He won't stop as soon as the first goes in.

Our last game vs Celta was the worst in term of luck since the first semi against Chelsea back in 2012. We create chances, hit the woodwork several times and completely dominate the game, while the opposing team scores with their sole chance of 90 minutes.

Absolutely rotten luck we had on Saturday.

Like swearing in church, but true. Old Messi woulda released the shot much earlier, and more distinct.

Hitting post is not bad luck, you just hit the post becouse you aimed badly. If it took a deflection and hit the post, then it might be unlucky.

Masch telling Pique he loves having him as a CB partner.

 

[CatalinR10]

He was pretty much shit.

Should've been a goal for Suarez and an assist for Messi. That was a really bad finish.

 

[te amo barca]

Should've been a goal for Suarez and an assist for Messi. That was a really bad finish.

Imo should have passed it to Neymar for an open goal

 

[eye-switcher]

Not even Close to his killer standards, i hope he regain his form in the next couple of games, god knows we need it.

 

[Flavia]

Should had buried that chance. It doesn't matter that it was a great save, he should had buried.

But he opened up space for Messi to shine. That's important.
