CL | Round 5: Ferencvaros - FC Barcelona 0-3

[Morten]

Those days are long gone. You don't see me referring to the glory days between 06 and 15 where we made SFs and finals and finals wins all the time, do you?



Currently, y'all are R of 16 merchants with 1-4 loss to Ajax kids at home, and home and away losses to City.

So disingenuous, but i didnt really expect anything else tbf.

Enjoy being the laughing stock of Europe, btw.

When you initiate the trolling and get trolled back, it's not a good look to become salty.

No trolling, you talked about the glory days long gone by for RM, and you literally go back 10 years earlier for your own glory days in Europe, so ofc you are being disingenuous.

You really going to pretend with a straight face this portion below wasn't trolling?

You guys should try ending up 2nd in the group for once, to see if your luck turns around.

I'd worry less about Barca and more about how RM are terrible on all fronts this season. LL, CL.

You know what they say, insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expect a different outcome.
So, try something different?

If sweeping the groups ends up backfiring, see what happens in 2nd place?

Imagine citing one of the greatest logicians of all time - Einstein - to buttress a point that is totally and utterly devoid of logic (of 2nd place finish potentially helping Barca go farther when it actually increases the odds we face the caliber of opponents we normally face in QFs...in the R of 16)

Imma have to put you in the Messigician amoeba category if you keep this up, dawg.

Okay, yes it was a joke, obviously.

There is a point in there though, you face no opposition on your way, you`ll end up being too soft when a team comes by that can actually challenge you.
No, you shouldnt go for 2nd place on purpose, but perhaps it would be better if you met a team that pushed you for first, instead of just sweeping the group, no sweat.


Juve are mediocre though, so there will be no push for first place.

 

[te amo barca]

Stegen - Firpo, Mingo, Mingueza, Dest - Alena, Pjanic - Puig, Pedri, Dembele - Braithwaite

do it

 

[JamDav1982]

Stegen - Firpo, Mingo, Mingueza, Dest - Alena, Pjanic - Puig, Pedri, Dembele - Braithwaite

do it

Mingo cant play as not registered.

 

[te amo barca]

Mingo cant play as not registered.

Ah yes, forgot about that rule. Mingo isn't homegrown. Then Araujo if he's fit.

 

[Messi983]

Stegen - Firpo, Mingo, Mingueza, Dest - Alena, Pjanic - Puig, Pedri, Dembele - Braithwaite

do it

Pedri should get some rest, he has played a lot. Also, Dest had some problems so I wouldn't start him either. Mingueza can play as a RB.

MATS; Mingueza, FDJ, Firpo, Balde?; Alena, Pjanic; Trincao, Puig, Dembele; Braithwaite

Bring on Dest in 2nd half for FDJ and move Mingueza inside.

 

[JohnN]

----- MATS -----
Dest - Mingueza - Araujo - Junior
---- Pjanic - Alena----
Trincao - Puig - Konrad
----- Braithgreat -----

For me, or some variation of that.

Would not be opposed to trying Trincao in the AMC with Dembele and Konrad swapping on the wings either.

We earned the privelage to rotate and experiment here a little basically.

Agreed!

 

[Katarina1]

must win here, we need top spot in the group

 

[JohnN]

Getting to he top spot doesn't mean we qualify next round and it shouldn't be our priority. We are far behind in LL and our B team should be able to beat these guys.
Rest Messi, Alba, Busi, Coutinho, Griezmann, Pedri.
At least don't play them for the whole 90 minutes.

We can always through in dembouz second half to score some golazos and be done with it.
