CL | 1/8 Final: FC Barcelona - SSC Napoli 4-2 (agg.)

[FinBarcelonafan]

Some positives:
-Lenglet has developed to be a great CB
-Pique was solid
-Frenkie!!!!!!
-Ter Stegen great performance

True. Frenkie was amazing, Lenglet a beast game

 

[JamDav1982]

Textbook EV second half.

Messi and Suarez staying up park, barely closing or moving off ball and rarely brinining others into play.

Ridiculous long passes from MATS into midfield and forwards.

Team as a whole looked awful bar Lenglet and FDJ.

Messi had some decent moments on ball but when walk about like that second half when coupled with Suarez it kills the attack. Griezmann seemed to join them just dropped back a bit more.

Griezmann isnt an AM/CM and not comfortable getting ball as deep as did there at times.

Alba is shite. Pique is well past his best.

 

[fergus90]

I honestly don't think Setien can even see the problems with the team. Him and Sarabia together are a comedy duo.

 

[FCBfan22]

I'd advise Barto to buy a large quantites of vaseline for the squad, for next round...

They'll need it with performances like this.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

fuck that second half was bad

Messi is off. He should have been subbed off. He did nothing or couldn't do. His leg is messed up or hurting.

Well put. Bayern will punish those incredible flaws and will humiliate us.

 

[kattanib]

Finished team.

Sell everyone except FDJ and MATS. Messi included unless he's willing to accept his fellow amigos being sold. And get a coach who knows what he's doing.

Build a team around Stegen, Lenglet, Frankie, Roberto, Puig, Griezman and Ansu

And when Messi and Suarez stay so high and have no speed, they are useless essentially.

Our bus looked decent tbh. Have a feeling that Setien will chicken out and go with Vidal-Raki-De Jong-Busi diamond midfield against Bayern though.

 

[Richard.H]

Messi was dead after half time.

I noticed he was gasping for air by minute 50. I hope he didn?t get injured from that Koulibaly penalty

Nah, it was a bad defensive performance. Napoli are just crap. 7th place in Italy after all.

 

[Sailor Mars]

Our front line is so slow. They get a pass on the counter, and they immediately pass it back to the midfield so they have more time to get up field.

Totally lets the opposition come back and set up defensively. Griezmann is a misfit and Suarez is just fat and slow.

 

[ThwiX]

Only Dembele can save us. Suarez out, Dembele in.

Whole team needs revamping. Keep only the ones that can run and press. Sell every old player except for Messi.

The fault for how we got in this position is Bartomeu's. An incompetent president who knows nothing about football.
