CL | Round 5: PSV - Barca 1-2

[Devils]

Our manager is the biggest moron, if this were a CL elimination match against a good team we'd be out of the competition already...less than 20 minutes in.

 

[Givenchy]

what a fucking mess

 

[Zidane82]

All that pressure from another loose ball from Rakky

Embarrassing. The norm these days. We are so slow it hurts. Slow with the ball, slow when running, slow slow slow...

This is why we have to offload Rakitic who has to be the slowest midfielder in world football and nowadays SPEED is king

 

[Pedro]

PSV hit the post now

Great assist almost by raki

 

[Barcaman]

Chat is up. Sorry for delay.

We are not slow with our passing. Still move it around pretty quickly

 

[FCBfan22]

Great combo by Messi and Semedo and then Messi and Dembele.

But tonight, the left side seems dead for once.

 

[JerseyAddict]

Get Raki out. He is not fit. Our midfield is overruned.

 

[Barcilliant]

Please don't joke .. its just embarrassing how bad we are yet so many want Valverde to stay

Hardly anyone wants Valverde to stay Been n the forum a decade and he is the most hated manager.

 

[Gaudi]

This could be 4:0 by now

 

[Zidane82]

Pique isn't helping Samedo so far ..

 

[pregra]

Pique «jumping» for that header...

Oh boy, we're not doing well. Valverde is going to be out sooner rather than later at this rate. It almost feels like we're regressing on a daily basis at the moment. Horribly to see, especially given our insanely good squad. This "system" is just flat out broken and it's painstakingly clear that Valverde doesn't possess the tactical means to change it for the better. We need someone else for this job.

Valverde's odd decisions keep surprising me. Like, why do you throw Umtiti in for 90 minutes against Diego Costa after two months on the sideline? Especially seeing as Lenglet had been absolutely excellent in Samu's absence. Not a massive surprise that Umtiti immediately needs rest after that. But then it's shocking to see Valverde completely disregard this experience, and start both Coutinho and Rakitic today. He just really doesn't learn, does he?

Also, great fun to see van Bommel complain about tackles. That's like Titus Bramble complaining about the level of defending.

 

[JerseyAddict]

Omg. What a miss ...

So, I haven't been in here for a decade, so I feel like I have to ask: Where does Tata fit in?
