La Liga | Round 16: FC Barcelona - Eibar 1-1

[malvolio]

The truth is 90% of these players would have never played for Barca if our club wasn't managed by Barto.

Also doesn't help that we had some awesome players in the past 10 years before this shower of shite

I can see the writing on the wall... Dropped points...

 

[serghei]

Pjanic and Firpo have been decent.

And Pedri, and Araujo. But decent, not that good.

De Jong mediocre, Mingueza, Lenglet bad, Griezmann, Dest terrible. Braithwaite pretty bad. Even Stegen was crap and made a mess out of a simple freekick.

 

[Sweden]

Martin has now missed 4 of his last 5 pens, chocking.

 

[Singularity]

Dest has been horseshit. Very disappointing half.

That's a fair assessment. Only thing I would change is that Griez and Dest were worse than Braith.

 

[Rory]

Pedri and Frenkie need to seize the game now, start demanding the ball.

I think a user (Devils I think) pointed out that we've only made about 10~ successful transfers within the past 10 years.

No worries. Koeman is a robot type manager when things aren't going. He'll put Busi in as if that will fix anything.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Firpo was good.

 

[Raketa10]

Everybody has been either average, sub-mediocre, or terrible.



Pretty much. We look like a team who's been picked up from some party, put in a bus, told to dress up, and play this game.

To be fair, the quality of some players is on that level. What else could we expect from the likes of Firpo, Braithweite or Mingueza who are clearly abysmal. On the other side, players like Griezmann, Coutinho or Dembele are hugely overrated. Furthermore, those players are paired with kids who are not able to deliver regularly (for example Dest) so this is the end result.

We hit the jackpot with La Masia golden generation + a couple of very good players. Otherwise, yeah splurged on many duds

We shouldn't talk about player quality when we're facing Eibar. We're not playing Bayern here to say they have better players. Our players are better than Eibar's so the problems are in terms of performances, preparation, focus etc.

I agree, but I am even not sure if Mingueza would be a starter material for Eibar. Braithweite and Firpo are on that exact level. In the end our coach is apparently on Eibar level too.

Looks like Dest got subbed off for Dembele. Cardiomann still on the pitch.
