Copa del Rey 1/16 final: UD Barbastro - Barca 2-3

[Neeraj]

How is our crossing this bad? I don't understand it. Given that passing to thr wings and crossing is OUR ONLY tactic that Xavi has us playing, how is our crossing this poor? I just don't get it.

Past wingers has little to nothing to do with how Raphinha looks or is judged.

He is judged on not doing enough.

It's not the type of game to experiment.

Highlight of the game is that end stand of the Barbastro stadium is surprisingly big. It's like they went to Rayo Vallecano one night and said "we'll take that one".

Nothing can beat that pitch we played in from Ibiza I think. Everything there was mobile. The stadium was flat I think.

OK, but I already told you the squad is mediocre. So... don't know what you want more. It's you who is dreaming of these big things for some reason.

I swear if anyone praised Raphinha they’re dumb. It was a bad cross deflected off the defender

Wrong and irrelevant to point.

You are the one who bums up Raphinha as if been good enough and hard to get better than him for what has shown.

Squad so bad are behind Girona rightfully be next claim.

Our attack is probably even worse than Napoli. I'd take Kvara and Osimhen over all of these guys. Roque is the only unknown variable in the mix. Better hope he's a homerun signing.

It's very relevant. Our top 3 offensive players from last season are either sold (Dembele), old and past it (Lewa), or not that good (Raphinha). It means the squad is mediocre. Can't get any more clearer than that.

By a distance and I don't even rate them too much.

Raphina, Ferran would be alright for depth, but as starters they are downright terrible. Lewy is done and Felix is the worst of the lot if you ask me. Hopefully Roque lives up to the hype.

Haha aye Dembele who you argued was over rated and fine to let go as had Raphinha.

Top stuff.

Squad is more than good enough to be doing a lot better and be playing better football.

If dont think front players are good enough after hundreds of millions spent then one man to point fingers at there.

need Ferran on RW and Cancelo on left side for crosses

I agree about everything really. Raphinha has some qualities, I believed in him, but at this level you just can't do with average technique, no matter how athletic or ambitious you are.

 

[mc_lovin]

2-0 with that "offside" goal would have been a professional result. Now there's still a bit of effort needed.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Raphi still a good player for Fifa

So, which is it? Squad is mediocre, and need to spend much more money, or squad is great and can compete vs likes of City and Liverpool as you claimed in the past? Can't both be true and switch between them like picking the toy you like from the shelf whenever convenient.
