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

[FC B]

How can we get rid of Coutinho? Or Griezmann. Coutinho is the biggest waste I think.

Both need to pe sold asap.

 

[Marshall D Teach]

Lmao we're gonna be in the Europa Conference League

I didn't even know that was gonna be a thing

 

[Horatio]

Win and get to the heady heights of third!

Reason we lost

 

[serghei]

Reason we lost

We drew

We were doing fine at handball until he showed up in the thread though... Lost the final today.

 

[JamDav1982]

Reason we lost

It was a fact.

Barca didnt lose though. Also a fact.

 

[Capitan Puyol]

Draw at home against minnows is like a lose, when a team challenge for the title.

I think Everton have more chances to win the PL this season than we have to challenge for the title. Atletico and Madrid will both easily put 12-15 points past us by March.

 

[IvanAtanasov]

what title? we will be lucky to get in top 4... which is exactly what we deserve.. few years in Uefa Cup might actually be good for us, not like we were not knocked out from the tournament by teams like Celtic before

 

[Capitan Puyol]

UEFA Cup/Europe League is not an option for us. We are not going to be spanish Arsenal/Milan next years, I hope...

 

[Daisymorr]

We will still finish in the Top 4 because the rest of the league are nothing special either.

I dont think we will be champions obviously but top 4 will be achieved. At the moment with this team we cant expect to win anything but we must not fall out of CL places, we need the money!!

You need to beat the likes of Eibar at home to be top 4.

Greizmann hurts the team more than Coutinho did. At Coutinho's position, there were alternatives, so Coutinho did not play much. The worst problem with Greizmann is the lack of alternatives, and that he does play well enough to deserve to be on the field for this team. He plays well enough to deserve to start for a mid-table Liga team: a very bad shooter, mediocre in other offensive team play, good on defense. You are not likely to qualify for the CL with Greizmann almost always starting. But you won't get relegated.

RM even lost against the likes of Alaves and Cadiz at home, so it doesn't matter, they are 2nd now.

Sure. And Zidane was almost sacked. The manager has to take responsibility in cases like this. After the season we draw the line and we can judge whether Koeman deserves more time or not. If he continues on this path, he most certainly doesn't.

You can't moan about oh X player made an error or this or that, when you have talent in the squad that 99.5% other managers don't. The game is 95 mins. Plenty of time to correct some errors vs much inferior teams.

The results are not good enough compared with the squad quality. We should be comfortably 3rd and breathing down Madrid's neck (also a team that is underperforming this season losing easy points left and right).
