CL Round 4: Shakhtar - Barca 1-0

[JamDav1982]

Barca players are shite and Shaktar are better than people think as beat Real 3 years ago...

Usual logic applied.

 

[serghei]

Spurs? Didn't win anything in ages.

Let's see them in June.

 

[Chomutov]

Problem ist Xavi has No clue how to play againsto low blocks. You need wingers who go down the Line in Order to get behind the defense Line when you cross. Raphinha Always tends to go to the middle. Ferran ist hopeless doesnt know how to beat his opponent in 1:1 situations on the other Side. In General there is No overlapping on the wings. We dont have Messi anymore who solved These situations with Iniesta and Xavi next to him. But Xavi plays exactly the same kind of football. Always through the middle of the park which is pure madness. Yamal in, the only one who can beat his marker in 1:1 situations. Lewa...bad like everyone...but put Kane or Haaland there, they would suffer badly too.

 

[Gnidrologist]

Raphinha, Ferran, Fati and Lewandowski all need go be cycled out. Big problem that there is no money to replace them.

Or maybe it's Xavis turn. I mean, these guys are no rocket magicians, but notice have pretty much every player thread is now about how "he is shit". There's a common denominator why this is so. These players are not nearly as bad as to look 'shit' on constant basis against half amateur opposition, let alone medium tier teams that run all over us.

 

[Birdy]

He is like a crap English manager in that mindset. And its so weird because seeing the player he was, you figure he wouldn't be like this.

Flash back around October November 2021, when everyone was calling for Koeman's head, and most were wanting Xavi.
Only a few of us noted that the proposition 'WC player = WC coach" is logically false.
At least many of that group have now reconsidered and admitted they were wrong

 

[Haraldinho]

This team is chilling too much as Gundogan said. The trainings at barca are the softest. No key player no tactics just chicken running.

yet they would have eviscerated this Shaktar side

I am talking about football Serghei. Stop playing the dumbie here to double down on your shit.

EPL is a different level
If Postecoglu was coaching in LL one of Barca or Madrid he would be swiping all trophies for years

 

[mc_lovin]

We will accept you back into the fold when Xavi has won another League. He's right when he says the rebuild is only half way done. Still lots to do. Keep calm.

 

[serghei]

Sure. Doesn't mean much. Even in form Betis could do that. It's quite obvious Barca are playing like shit.

But in the long run...

 

[Behrox]

I'm convinced these mofos don't train to shoot or pass in training (if we even have training sessions anymore)

 

[xXKonan]

Someone needs to get fired for even approving the likes of signing Alonso.

This man cannot defend nor do anything for shit.

 

[Behrox]

Sure. Doesn't mean much. Even in form Betis could do that. It's quite obvious Barca are playing like shit.

But in the long run...

you don't seem to grasp the fact that a team in financial crisis doesn't have a long run to look forward to without sporting success.
It's not like Xavi has fucking Burnley that's being asked to at least put up a decent showing against the likes of fucking war-torn Shaktar of all teams.
Our starting XI is better than 90% of Europe still

 

[mesiesta]

Alonso is tragic.

Bring Pedri, Felix and Balde now and take off Romeu, Ferran and Alonso.

Bring Yamal on later if it will not work out.

 

[DonAK]

As someone that was happy with us signing Raphinha I am telling you he aint it.

Sell him please.
