Coutinho along with Semedo were my best players on the pitch in the first half.

So pleased that Coutinho is now more confident on the ball.

Very pleased too. He is becoming more dangerous and I would want him to start against pool.

MJBOLT:

this final no sure as una dey talk am,that liverpool front 3 too deadly

Very deadly but they can be stopped. Dominate the midfield and starve them of the ball.
Ensure we have more bodies behind to stop their counterattack and finish off chances. Chikina.

My delight is in his hunger for goals. He had several shots on target yesterday, and for each that didn't get to the back of the goal, one could see the agony in his eyes. That's what Dembele lacks. Lackadaisical attitude towards goalscoring. When faced by an empty goal, he'd rather pass.

lol. Dembele wasn't always like this o. Or at least, I don't think he was. The guy frustrate me yesterday ehn.

In the first half, when teammates are with the ball, he goes towards them instead of trying to exploit spaces between defenders. When he gets the ball, he just makes obvious passes.

One of the chances Messi created for him that he passed back, I was even more frustrated watching it than Messi who created the chance.

I suspect he's playing to instructions, but it's somewhat frustrating. Then our off-and-on vampire is always criticizing him.

The most frustrating thing about this one is, Barça aren't even serious about replacing him. No vigorous attempt, whatsoever.

Are you guys seriously criticizing dembele?

Check all Barça forums worldwide, There is a school of thought that suggests that Suarez and the rest of the team excluding Semedo don't pass to him

Quite unfortunate that our Catalunya brother, Girona, found themselves in the relegation battle. Despite the vital win against Sevilla today, it will be a miracle if they escape considering their remaining fixtures and those of the relegation battlers.

Congrats to our ladies who booked a spot in the UEFA Champions League final against the Lyon.
Common boiz!!

ClintonNzedimma:

The criticisms are mostly about how he never dares to score himself. Even in spaces that are advantageous to him, he'd rather pass. They are valid IMO.

I watch Barca matches and I know that school of thought is not true, an exaggeration at best. The fact that it is public opinion does not make it 100% true. At least for those who don't watch the games, we can always check stats. What percentage of Dembele's goals are assisted by Nelson?

If others don't pass to him, where did he get the balls he was losing when he moved to the left? Tackling opponents and getting the ball from them?

I'm much more interested in seeing Dembele grow into the world class player he should be than I am in seeing him not criticized.

Did you watch yesterday's game?

as in eh... Suarez needs to have some bench time so he stops seeing himself as untouchable.

Maybe Abidal and co have something cooking for the summer transfer. For our sake next season, they better.

LOL
Sevilla trolling

Finally, from 4th down in EPL are occupied by stupid teams, one day you watch EPL, you are happy you watched good football, the next day you watch and its like you wasted 1.30hrs of your life. Na wa o

Let me try and compare Liverpool's team to ours,
Allison v Ter Stegen: Allison
Trent Arnold v Roberto:
Matip v Lenglet: Lenglet
Pique v Van Dijk: Pique
Robertsen v Alba:
Busquets v Fabinho: Busquets
Keita/Wijnaldum v Rakitic: Rakitic
Henderson v Arthur: Henderson
Salah v Messi: D10S
Dembele/Coutinho v Mane: Mane
Suarez v Firmino: Suarez(sentiment).
.
Our defense has conceded less goals than Liverpool in UCL, but their defense has conceded far less goals in the league. Suarez has more goals than Firmino in the league, but Firmino has more in UCL and he is more effective in build up play than Suarez.
Mane is better than Coutinho and Dembele but Coutinho has picked form(I am so happy to type that alongside Coutinho's name) as the season is winding up, which is an extremely good sign.
Liverpool has the best full backs in EPL, Alba is doing well but Roberto and Semedo has divided us in this group unlike the certainty in the mind of Liverpool fans, sha Roberto will have the toughest winger to mark by Wednesday and I pray and know he will come out tops.
Allison and Ter Stegen are quite good and their distributions are good, Allison's defense protect him so well and he delivers when called on, Ter Stegen is just narrowly edged out.
Valverde v Klopp: Valverde, he has Messi, automatically he is better than Klopp, besides, Valverde has won the league, Klopp is still praying for any trophy...
Bench: Semedo, Vidal and Dembele, well they got the job done from group stage till now, and they will do so on Wednesday.
.
So guys what do you all think?

With Barca's win of the 2018/ 19 LA LIGA, Arturo Vidal, a Chilean who plays as midfielder for the Spanish side has won 8 consecutive League titles. Prior to joining Barca, he was with the Bayern Munich of Germany for 3 seasons where he won the Bundesliga 3 times. He had earlier played for the Italian side Juventus where he won the Scudetto in all four of his season.

Ter Stegen should be ahead of Allison I mean he is arguably the best in the world ATM.

Nna enh, even if I agree with all this your comparison, that Stegen own, I no gree. as far as I'm concern MATS is better.than Alli o.

Allison has a higher save percentage than Ter Stegen and even more cleansheets and has also conceded less goals, in all competitions.
In UCL alone, ter Stegen is better sha

*EPL top 4 Race*
Tottenham Hotspur, lost
Chelsea, drew
Arsenal, lost
Manchester United, drew


*Liga Santander top 4 Race*
Getafe, lost
Sevilla, lost
Valencia, lost

lol, just remove sentiment and use statistics to compare them, Allison edges MATS, Allison is even better than Ederson that confused PFA voted into their team of the season. Allison might even be better than Oblak(I didn't compare both explicitly).

The only team yet to be trolled this season.

They only try, but can't, hence, they use lame points

Liga Santander, in the bag
UCL, unbeaten
Copa Del Rey, finals


Treble, on the way.


They keep thinking, hoping and praying we lose, but they keep getting disappointed.

Their MCM has to only contend with league.

Their club is so struggling that dropping points has become a norm, and as such, even they themselves don't expect anything positive from their club.

Their thread is drier than Atacama + Antarctica desert combined.

And they are hiding in their shells, waiting for Barcelona to slip.


Barcelona! The club that sent em all into hiding.

Forca Barça
Visca El Barça
Mes que un Club

Conceding less goals doesn't necessarily mean one keeper is better than the next. He might just be exposed less often such that opponents are restricted to taking tame shots from distance.

Allison has made more errors leading to goals than even the Ederson you say is undeserving of the PFA nomination. So imagine how many more errors he'd make if his defense left him more exposed.

It's only Oblak I would agree might be better than MATS this season.

EPL golden glove goes to the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets, Allison. Allison also has a high save percentage too, I don't know if its higher than MATS, but its high.
Well what I pointed out is that in all competitions, Allison is slightly better but in UCL, ter Stegen has been exceptional

I get your point bro. Just don't agree he's a better goalkeeper.

It's like golden boot going to the person with the most goals. Doesn't matter if half of it were penalties or easy tap-ins. There has to be a tangible metric, so they use straightforward stats like most goals or most clean sheets. The winner has the better specified stat, but may not necessarily be better than the next player if you consider factors stats do not capture.

Let Alisson get exposed a lot more, and you won't even be saying this anymore. He has in front of him VVD that no one has managed to dribble in more than 30 games.
