Hristo Stoichkov: "Bar?a always play with 10 men when Griezmann is on the pitch. If they want to do something long term, they have to sell Griezmann. Braithwaite and Trincao are there. What is he doing?"

If you spoke to Hristo in person he would probably agree that it's even worse than that - 10 men would be preferable to having Griezman jogging around and destroying things.

Hristo Stoichkov: "Griezmann? I defend him. Antoine is a very humble guy, he's not selfish and that's the most important thing, he works for the team and you have to support him."

Stoichkov is an emotional person.:lol: Like many of us.

A player cost us more than 120 millions and we still talking about alright performance 😂😂

What's even funnier is that he literally says that Griezmann was usually outside the box. Since Griezmann's a striker/second striker, how was it an "alright performance" when he wasn't even doing what forwards are supposed to do?

Lmao, some players here just have so much leeway with certain users it's hilarious. Even if it's a completely shit and anonymous performance, you'll still get something like it's an alright performance.

BUT 99% of the time Barca plays a different game and faces different situations. He would actually fit almost all opponents we play against who try to switch up their pressing to win the ball up high and catch us on the counter when sitting deeper.
Griezmann has his moments from time to time but it is telling that our team is not weaker without him and we are able to show great performances with him in the stands.

Well, at least he got us to the Copa final this year.

Totally agree with the above.
He is not a bad player and Stoitchov shows lack of understanding of the sport with his statement.
But I am not sure he fits a team like Barca who almost all the times want to get possession and have to break good buses.
He fits a counter-attacking team.
That's why mister Ernie wanted him, he had altered so much our way of playing that Griezman was thought of as a good fit

Stoickhov has:

1) CL
2) Ballon D'Or
3) WC third place finish with Bulgaria...

I'm sure he knows more football than you.

"He doesn't fit us" is such a funny excuse. Now wanting Griezmann moving inside the box to get opportunities for chances and finishing said chances is antithetical to his play style. Expecting him to function as a forward is now grounds to claim that he doesn't fit. Our team simply dominating other teams and producing plenty of chances for our forwards is antithetical to Griezmann's play style. LMAO

Some players just have an insane amount of leeway with some users here it's hilarious and borderline insane.

I did not want to give Griezmann a pass with that. Just means another system suits him better.
Many performances with us were individually bad no matter the system. He missed many clear cut chances and I do not like his decisions sometimes. Never uses his right foot which results in lost balls and never goes for 1on1s. Not even in the box.

Is it your first time you hear a former WC player uttering nonsense in analyzing the sport?

You must be young (it shows also on all your other unproductive and immature posts of yours), don't worry you will see it more as you grow older

Cheap excuses. Yesterday had a player (well, Dembele, but close enough) in front of him, which we're being told is what he needs, yet delivered another Houdini masterclass.

People must stop overrating players on the basis of very few good things they do. He's supposed to ba a forward for the fucking Futbol Club Barcelona. He's a disaster.

You know guys there is a very good saying: IF two or more people are telling you to go to bed when you are drunk, then it is for sure time to go to bed.
Same with this, I like the word "disaster" player. I said it many times, please refer to my older replies, exactly what Hristo Stoichkov ( former Barca striker) said: whenever this catastrophe player is on the pitch we play with 10 players. So, I am so happy that a such a big player just followed my words.
Whoever still believe that this clown has some confidence in him, please look closely any time he has the ball. Did he EVER tried to dribble and create a dangerous occasion for Barca? For your curious it's please look. Any time when he get the ball, in 1-2 sec he pass it behind to another player just to get rid of it, as he lacks of confidence. This is my totally misunderstanding, how is it possible that a couch, even a mediocre one, can not see this fact!!!! For me is just a mister. This is telling me the quality of this Koeman. Another step back from Barca managerial team. It was not enough how many bad decisions have been made with so junk players Barca has right now. Koeman is the bombon on the cake.

Meh... I'll willingly take it unlike the previous sawp...
Daybala seems like a mix of both Coutinho and griezman could get the 'best of both' or most likely the worst of both.

Dybala, the wonderkid we still waiting on to achieve his potential. Another player that would be out of place and position here
