World Cup 2022

[FinBarcelonafan]

Just get back to the basics

Llorente, Torres, Ascensio all get off the pitch now.

Luis just wasted 3 subs.

Morata ain't great but he is ten times the striker Asensio is. Asensio is crap to this level.

 

[serghei]

This is good example why modern Barca and Spain suck. Slow possession game, slow wingers, no proper striker, no ability to take on players. It's SHIT.

Spain needs to wake up to modern day and change their ways.

Sorry, but Barca's attack has far better players currently, including fast and direct players, and a class 9. Which is why they scored many goals in La Liga so far.

This is close to how Barca would look like without likes of Dembele, Raphinha, Lewandowski, De Jong etc.

disappoint game.

Art of war. Make the fight boring then hit the ennemy

 

[JamDav1982]

Pedri is by far Spains best mid but they need him in final third more here.. but if he doesnt drop he wont see ball as Busi and Gavi cant get on it to make much happen.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Eh? Barca have one of fastest wingers in the world and one of best CFs.

Talking about past few years and yes Dembele is fast but who else?

Fati? Torres? Raphinha? Nah. They OK speed wise or quickness but hardly quick.

Their issue is they can't get past anyone. Dembele can.

Yes agree that current team ain't that bad. Was mostly talking about past couple years without Dembele when he was injured.

Dembele is fast, Raphinha is fast enough and Lewandowski is at Barca.

Not much point made about current Barca.

Barcas main tactic is pace and dribbling of Dembele and ball into the CF.

Raphinha is fast and physical. Not Dembele fast, but much faster than what Spain has on right now. Our and Spain's problem is with the level of attack threat coming from midfield. 3 midfielders and neither of them can do anything in the last third.

 

[jamrock]

Thiago would help in a game like this as well, but doesn't matter now.

Luis fucked up with his starting XI, too focused on trying to show he's right

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Raphinha is fast and physical. Not Dembele fast, but much faster than what Spain has on right now.

He can't get past any defender. He is fairly quick but can't take on players. Any top defender will stop him. That's an issue.

I said modern Barca, maybe I should use different word. Past five years we've had slow ass players. Old Barca. The amigo Barca.

Maybe I should say the Barca of the past 5-6 years, overall.

Raphinha has pace and can go past defenders just not same player as Dembele.

I am sure Raphinha was clocked as one of quickest players in EPL.

 

[serghei]

He can't get past any defender. He is fairly quick but can't take on players. Any top defender will stop him. That's an issue.

He does, not very often, but can beat a man, and his service is sometimes special. Plus, he's got a stamina like an animal. Plenty of physical and mental qualities in Raphinha that are hard to spot in this Spain side.

Funny thing is that a player like Raphinha is the complete opposite of Spain's style.

 

[Barcaman]

Easy to shit on Spain but give credit where credit is due. Morocco are a very good team. Have any of you watched them?

 

[JohnN]

Amigo Barca with slow ass players was a goal away from cl final and probably win.
Player class is also important apart from pace, etc. Current Spain apart from pace is missing class.

 

[Jadentheman]

I hate Spain's game so much. Sideways passing galore. Possession that goes nowhere. Any team can let them pass around their box until they lose it or the GK gains a hold then hit them on the counter. Like clockwork, so predictable.
