CL | Round of 16: PSG - FC Barcelona (5-2 agg)

[evilhita666]

Pedri is one of the few bright spots in this shambles of a squad

What? For the first time in the season he looks out of his depth...

 

[Gnidrologist]

Awful cuck-mastercalss from Cowman today. Wtf? Get some spirit into the team. Remove the zombie Biskvits and Pique/Langlet to whomever. Play proactive. At this time even Puig would be better pivot than Busquets. He has really been the weakest link in our team and the whole team knows it, which is why it sits back to not concede. Pathetic.

Dest did fine considering the game Dembele had defensively. He held off Mbappe pretty well. It's Lenglet that got skinned as usual.

The issue i have is that he clearly looks a bit nervous. Players at the pro level can sense this. He is doing very well vs Mbappe, but you get the feeling he is one big mistake away from letting Mbappe torch him.

Messi is chilling too much

True. He needs to fight and find more spots.. He saved us one defending though. He seems to be lost.

 

[KingLeo10]

That's the whole point. We had nothing to lose, so go at them for fucks sake. Their backline is so shaky but we rarely tested it because we're playing on the back foot EV style, trying to nick something on the counter.

Very disappointing.

I didn't even say win. I said compete. We're Manchester United level. Flatter to deceive. These lot will beat some mid table bums 5-1 and people will be hoping again.

Need to clear out Lenglet, Pique, Alba, Busquets (fucking hell when will he leave us), Dembele (idiotic), Griezmann, and MATS (certified CL choker)

Dest is doing fine, he is really fighting Mbappe and not letting gim sprint, that Mbappe goal came because of our cbs.
Pedri needs to be subbed.

dest was like 2-3 meters away from verratti when he made the pass. what was he doing there?

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

What? For the first time in the season he looks out of his depth...

True, but I think it's more of him looking nervous. Normally he doesn't play like this. IMO. He did some good, some terrible (more terrible than usual).

 

[mesiesta]

What a bad half. Dest, Griezmann and De Jong were okay, the rest are just bad...

P.S. Dembele is not even bad...

Yeah he looks ok. Mbappe isn't too worrying, not the opponents as a whole either. Barcelona should be able to dominate, but I don't like the approach.

 

[fergus90]

you are a big veratti fan, arent you

I am, he's the type of quality we miss in midfield tonight. I'd only put Kimmich ahead of him in the 'world class' category for that position.

 

[behindbrowneyes]

PSG has been better.

Griezi with 2 chances. Dembele invisible apart from that backpass from Navas. Messi not really in the game either. Penalty was well taken though.

 

[Hamzah]

He’s been nervous today but in general he is one of the few positive things at Barca

It's okay to commit one player to M'bappe. He is very dangerous, especially the amount of space we are giving him. Other teams mark him with two and the same with Neymar. You don't really have to care about other PSG players. They are quite shit.

Dest has a very hard job defending Mbappe 1vs1 ALL THETIME. Nobody is going to look good doing that. Especially with so much space in front.

 

[serghei]

Not sure if we even tried, because the tempo was pretty damn slow or that's how it looked. It looked like we were trying to keep a low tempo in the game.

Koeman is playing way too conservative football in the big games. Stays back and invites pressure. Move the lines up and keep a shorter team. And not short 15m away from Stegen, because that's parking the bus .

We have slim chances anyway, so at least try to play the right way, and without looking like a Mourinho clone.

 

[KingLeo10]

We're probably going to enter a vicious CL drought.

Man United had one of 30+ years.

RM and Bayern had 30 and 20 years.

Juventus are in 25 year drought almost.

Milan with almost 15.

United with almost 12.

Prepare yourself.
