CL Round 5: Barca - Porto 2-1

[serghei]

Wouldn't fancy Barca to get a result in Istanbul currently, no. But both of those teams can be added to the list with Porto and Barca that will be soundly beaten by the better sides getting to semi's.

Ah, semis, so last 4 in Europe this season? That's kind of elite level, so not surprising. Hard to make a semi and not meet an elite side.

A decent CF that could move would have a field day vs that Porto defence.

The amount of space Lewa and Raphinha are getting is unreal.

Porto look like dont have a RB half the time.

Barca won't get to the semi's, no.

 

[DonAK]

Honestly our biggest priorities are a quality LW, RW and CDM right now.

 

[serghei]

Barca won't get to the semi's, no.

Of course. Don't expect this team to be a semifinalist. Most likely City, Madrid, Bayern, Arsenal. If they don't get joined in the QFs.

 

[JamDav1982]

Would fancy Barca to get to semis with a decent draw and well set up.

Not when look like this rudderless shambles.

 

[Givenchy]

Cancelo should play LW and Yamal for Raphinha please, a win is there for us

No. Our biggest priority is to get a competent manager. Even AV has a significantly better manager than us. That’s unacceptable.

This is shaping up for us to end up 2nd in this group at best and then get absolutely mauled by City or Bayern in R of 16.

Tragic stuff at the club these days.

Sure, if luck hits big time, it's possible. Luck rarely does hit as big as that though.

 

[JamDav1982]

Romeu would be a disaster.

They are already trying to get numbers in there and run off FDJ and Gundo.

It hit pretty big throughout last season

 

[serghei]

Need something similar as Inter. Somthing like Porto and then Benfica or Lazio to the semis.

No not if well set up and properly coached.

Barca have players to get to semis.

Barca have shown Real are not levels ahead when play them and even when badly out of form the game was 50/50.

But if Barca are their usual under Xavi in Europe and this badly set up then wont go far.

 

[Total-Football]

I don't understand why the only way we attack is from the sides.. we almost now never see the through balls the landmark of barca. This is just disappointing.
