CL | 1/8 Finals: FC Barcelona - Chelsea 4-1 agg.

[Barcilliant]

Vidal will have an absolute shocker if he plays at Stamford Bridge, I guarantee it. Definitely think that Dembele could have an impact. Also, I would worry more about Hazard running straight through our midfield than 1v1s against Roberto. The damage he can do with the ball at his feet, there are absolutely no players like him La Liga. We haven't faced a player like him in a long time and I seriously doubt that Rakitic and Busi a ready for that task.

Hazard is not Messi. He is good but he is not going to be dribbling 4-5 players.

Nobody said he's gonna need to dribble 4 or 5 players and that's no way to win a game.

 

[vlad]

Wow, some of you here are way overrating hazard, guy is good, but he is not messi, give me a break, he isnt even best player in PL, if valverde is afraid of him then fuck it.

 

[Joan]

Busi is ready for any task.

Some also said he wasn't ready to face Kante. Still remember that match.

Guys, don't kid yourselves, gonna be the exact same team form the clasico on Bernabeu.

Dybala is a worse player and he managed to rip us apart in the 3-0 with Juve last year. Hazard is a great player, and if you don't take the right measures to limit him, he can decide the match for Chelsea same way like Messi can do it for us. Messi is a better player but Hazard has age and speed on his side, being probably in his phyiscal prime.

He is their best player in attack so im sure valverde will take care of that when barca will defend, if messi will be playing on his side, he will have also defensive task im pretty sure and that means less threat in attack

 

[SeloBarca]

Chelsea will park the bus and counter.
Our shitty midfield wont be able to get through and we rely on Messi and Suarez.
Chelsea will probably put 2 players on Messi so we rely on Suarez only, he wont score, people on forum will blame Suarez and say hes sucked whole season and wants him sold.

 

[raedkuwait]

You want Paulinho in a 3-man midfield? really?
What does Paulinho do well in the midfield? Does he pass well? No. Does he position himself well? No. Does he defend well? No. Can he keep the ball and control the game? No. Does he dribble well? No. Then how is he a midfielder let alone a Barca midfielder?! The man needs half the field to control the ball when passed to him how on earth do some people want him to play against a counter attacking team like Chelsea?! The game is expected to be decided by the midfield and yet some people here want a Chinese league player to play there.
Did you see his recent performances? Then why do you expect him to suddenly to transform into a Xavi at the Stamford bridge? Chelsea are expected to play with high pressing in the midfield how do you expect him to cope with that with his poor first touch and ball control?

Ok then, can you please analise his performance against Real madrid, and why was he a constant threat to RM, and was behind the sending off, and us scoring the second goal, aren't RM suppose to be the best counter attacking team with the best midfield in the world? and why if he is no good at all is selected for barazil NT?! or maybe there coach is also a bad one, if he has no quality at at all
why is he selected for the best national team now which is brazil?!

His performance against Madrid? Wasn't a good one.
Why does he play for Brazilian national team? For the same reason the likes of Renato Augusto do.

FTFY. Always Messi’s fault. Always.

What is your problem with Paulinho?
Not top class midfielder, but very important for other things in the middle (strong physically and able to score goals).

Yeah it wasn't a good performance against Madrid but he is not a wide midfielder. He is a box to box midfielder and should be playing as a central midfielder like he does for Brazil for whom he has been fantastic for 2 years in a 4-3-3 or 4-1-4-1.

These workhorse types struggle when out wide. Look at Rakitic as well.

 

[5ergio_Busquets]

What is your problem with Paulinho?
Not top class midfielder, but very important for other things in the middle (strong physically and able to score goals).

Why would I have a problem with him?
Not top class, not middle class just Chinese league class. No player looks so much out of place like Paulinho playing for Barca, he just doesn't belong in this team.
Yeah and another one who mentions this "strong physically" thing, now where is this useful? Does he use it to recover the ball? No because he can't defend at all, does it help him keep the ball? No, because with his first touch and ball control no amount of strength would do that. Scores goals? When was the last time he scored? And of his goals there is only that goal against Getafe that was really important and most of the others were in games that ended with big goal difference. Tell Pique to forget about his position and just run forward and many times play even ahead of Suarez like Paulinho does and surely he can score some of those tap-ins.
