TBH I wasn't impressed at all.

He didn't play to expectation.

VivaLaByke:

He just returned from a 4months injury bruhhh.



Do not expect him to look like a peak Johan Cruyff on his first game back.

TLona1:


At a time we played well, other times we were completely outplayed.

Andre Gomes and Semedo were really superb... Semedo especially

.

What a player

laPULGA:

gomes?...what a pleasant suprise


some folks on our post match thread were saying denis,vidal and even busquets were shiit today

most importantly how my boy DEMBOUZ.....?

ollah1:


I never knew sybla still works. What's the settings? Mobdro isn't clear enough and always few minutes behind.

afroduke:
I think Dembele is overhyped just like Neymar was in 2013.. But with constant playing and hardwork, i think he'll come good.

obiorathesubtle:

If we buy coutinho for that amount, I'd just know suit and tie money-heads who know little about football and business combined have overrun barca and made the worst club side decision of the 21st century.


Isn't it bad enough on our plate that we have the most expensive u-23 player in the world who hasn't proven himself but still struggling to cope with injuries? or that we (Barcefuckinglona) bought our most expensive midfield option ever, and the only he's good at is stamina?? Couple rebound goals for bribes and everyone is back to being happy..


Wtf!!

Now we want to splash 150 mil in January for a cup tied player who almost has Gareth bale's medical record.
.


Our fucking scouts are too fat to get off their asses and look for players...


We're doing terrible business and Ernesto Valverde's tactics still look shît to me.

oseriki9:

Digne is good tho....today is not his day.

Psalmueldo:

My thoughts are based on what I have seen of them so far, not one match. Digne doesn't challenge Alba at all.

Shey no be you ask how was dembele?

he played below expectation but I saw one positivity,he is willing to run behind defender like neymar of 13/14 and with messi diagonal passes that will be match made in heaven

obiorathesubtle:



Bin laden wasn't heaven worthy, so I doubt your swear would hold..


I just want us to spend wisely and uphold club tradition.

Players and other clubs are holding us ransom.. Open your eyes man..


150 million for coutinho.. He's good no doubt, but it's a rip off, In January and even in this current market.

So if catalonia gains independence all our players become free agents.

I think dembele is overrated

Don't get me wrong not like I expect him to perform magic coming from bench especially being on the shorelines for some month; but from my own personal assessment of his game, I can't just help but feel he is really overrated


I hope he proves me wrong sha

jonsnow92:
"It was so that Dembele played in a position where he was released of defensive obligations, which were a bit stressful at that time of the match," Valverde said of Dembele's positional switch.
"When we know that this was the first game of this player after almost four months without playing, I preferred that he be in a position where he can gradually get used to the game.
"We must take into account that the pace of a whole match against a first division team. For Ousmane, it would have been excessive."



Valverde's words.

emmyspark007:

Well I just hope ev starts him against Levante alongside messi sha because dembele needs to step up now that he is back. He needs to justify his price tag

jonsnow92:
I'm saying Emphatically that he won't start..Judging by what EV said,Dembele prolly won't start any game soon..Caution is always needed.

emmyspark007:

Nawa oh.
Well there is still time sha.
And he will be 100% fit for champions league.

My only problem now is semedo; ev is stalling his progress. Semedo might not get much game time in big matches and champions league .

Semedo has a lot of potentials; he is really good both defensively and in attack. Too bad Roberto is ahead of him in the pecking order
i just hope we dish out Gomes, Arda turan etc...

snowstormm:


He needs to start jare...we used 105m + add ons to sign him...he needs to start and maybe sub off in the second half


He need some gametime before the ucl clash and agaisnt quality opposition

biomustry:

Not all I guess, only if it's in the contract

jonsnow92:
Without Dembele we are unbeaten,9 points clear and topped our champions league..We aren't In Crisis so Dembele isn't going to Save Us..He needs Caution and For Me He shouldn't even start games this month..4 months away no be beans..


Roberto has incredible calmness on the ball more than Semedo..That's the only thing i think makes Roberto better than Semedo..I think EV is still trying to make Semedo learn more about the Barca way..Semedo is very good really but Its nice Roberto keeps him on his toes too..Its a competition I'll love to have in my team..Its a very Healthy one.

homesteady:


I think you are still stuck in the transfer market of yesteryears! Liverpool just bought one defender that I haven't seen before for £75 million (€84.4m). If such a random defender can be bought at that price, then you should know that the transfer market has gone crazy.

From the way things are going, only a recession can bring the transfer market back down to earth.
