Messi only plays for Barcelona out of love and loyalty, not because they are a good team; at least, not for the last 5 years.

Barcelona board should take the blame for this defeat. I would have said they deserved to be killed, but that would be because of my anger right now. How can a club prioritize players ahead of coaches? They waste money on players then hire a below average manager to deliver trophies to them. Even Gerard Pique once made a foolish statement about Barca not being about a manager, that was why Pep was grossly underrated at Barça.

now because they don't regard their managers, they recruit players based on their choice, not necessarily the manger's choice. The decline of Barça was a gradual process.

from Dani to semedo.
from macherano to lenglet.
from xavi to sergi Roberto
from Iniesta to de jong (I should add that the kid earns 360k € a week.)
from Neymar, David villa to Griezmann, Dembele. (The latter earning a combined 1.25 million €).

While some of you insult Pep for pointing and killing, you should also know that extravagancy doesn't always result to success. A good manager identifies players he needs to build a formidable team. Although some players might not leave up to expectation which is normal, but the coach nonetheless build a good team -- a good football team that can compete fairly against equally good teams.

Right now, Barcelona is just a club, not a team. Little thanks to their board.

Messi only plays for Barcelona out of love and loyalty, not because they are a good team; at least, not for the last 5 years.

Don't underestimate the impact of a dressing room God to a players self confidence when they walk in a dressing room. One kind words from Messi can send a new players confidence soaring while bad and moody body language from someone like Messi can finish a players Barca career before it starts.

We have heard from Dybala and Griezmann how Messi gives cold shoulder in that dressing room which affects their standing and confidence, and received hints from Coutinho and Dembele to that effect.

I will never forget the training incident when Neymar bullied Semedo when Semedo first joined. That's when I suspected there is poison in that dressing room from Messis clique.

All those recruitments are misfits,

Griezman is a direct attacker who suits a counter attacking team more bt Barcelona board decided to buy him for 100M

Coutinho is not a left winger and doesnt have the pace for wing football yet Barcelona bought him for 120M, Coutinho is about to be shipped out by Bayern again or pacy wingers like Coman Sane Gnabry

Dembele is a child who never grew up and is always partying, eating pizza or playing fortinet overnight, Yet Barcelona bought him

The player that fits them best was Neymar and Messi told them he will take a paycut to get Neymar back

Maicon that was on his way to Roma, someone just checked the news saw Maicon and decided to hijack the deal they quickly sold him off,
Someone thought a Vidal at 32 who binge drinks and doesnt take care of himself is a good deal for midfield, WHen Bayern intentionally packaged him and got a younger Goretzka
almost eveyr transfer decision has been a massive fail since they sold Neymar

People play too much

Spot on. The only signing they have made that at least has promise is Frenkie De Jong.


The most baffling one was the decision to swap Arthur for a finished Pjanic.

see barca problem is they dont have any leader. There is no difference between their experienced players and their non-experienced players .
barca players gave up it is absolutely unacceptable.

That's how they trained them how to engage attackers in Burnthisleaguedown.

Instead of using his left leg to reach out to block the expected shot from Suarez and leave the right leg trailing in case Suarez cut him back to the right the idiot went with the right leg to block and left everywhere opened. No brain.

It is not a good leadership trait to make your fellow player feel uncomfortable and out of place whether you agree with his signing or not. He is not the first player to have reservations about signings, but hardly do you see other players complaining they feel out of place because of the body language of their captain. We even heard similar stories from Dybala in Argentina camp. Captains job is to maximise the confidence of their teammates, instead we read how Messi vetoed Griezmann signing in 2018, how he is moody with certain players or how he and his clique of Suarez/Neymar/Vidal be doing somehow with other players. What does Vidal bring to the table apart from sharing similar culture with Messi? Yet Messi makes him feel comfortable despite being of little footballing use, but won't extend the same courtesy to others.

Do you think Terry/Lampard/Cech agreed with many of the signings Chelsea made from 2010 to 2015? Yet you'll never hear any player saying he feels rejected.

Barcelona's signings since 2017 have been on par with ours from August 2015 till date. A few hits, but mostly misses.

Plus the war in their boardroom. Add that to your comments about Messi, and you have a club that's slowly returning to their pre-Ronaldinho days in Europe.

So Messi is responsible for signing Vidal again?
Coutinho shares similar culture to Messi, just like Arthur, just like Malcolm, just like Paulinho and other South Americans who dont fit into Barcelona
This seems like you are just desperate to hang something anything on Messis neck

Dybala and Messi occupy the same spot on the field, and it will be impossible to play both together without changing the balance of the team
Griezman is a misfit for any team that holds the ball, any possesion side cannot have a striker like Griezmann

Its like blaming Ronaldo for the travails of Higuain, Mandzukic and other current Juventus misfits

Barca's destruction has been gradual and systematic. The day Messi leaves that team they will be positively finished.

How do you whiff on recruitments from defense to attack. I've never seen anything like it before

Their only hope for a brighter future is literally Ansu Fati

hoopLA:

They sacked Valverde mid season because of that king Pago.
Despite being on top la liga.

Abeg Messi and his false humility sickens me to my stomach.

He's just an evil dwarf. The type you see in Nollywood village movies.

Brazilian culture is far from Argentinian culture.

Chile/Uruguay/Argentina share an almost homogeneous culture which is why Suarez, Vidal and Messi are parapo. Uruguay and Argentina were the same country. The English only split Uruguay out of Argentina so they could control Montevideo port which is just a stones throw from Buenos Aires, while Chile runs exactly alongside Argentina from top to bottom.

If he can clique up with Vidal for cultural reasons (not football), nothing stops him extending the same personable quality to others

That's not absolving Barca board of rudderless signings but questioning Messis personal leadership traits.

I wonder how you managed to blame a player for the failure of other players. Whatever happened to managers motivating their players. I can't imagine myself blaming Ronaldo for Juventus lackadaisical display vs Lyon even though 10 other players were involved in the game. I also can't imagine myself blaming another player for my own poor form.

I have also noticed that raumdeuter even with the right amount of anonymity never trolls. He is a perfect gentleman.

donjazet:


He is a deep lying playmaker and less of a DM. He is as much to blame as the rest of his teammates. For all his bad moments, he has also had many more brilliant moments as evidenced by his longevity, trophyhaul and recognition as the best in his position.

Today is a very terrible day for the entire team.

Busquets a deep lying playmaker? Lool since when?

These superstars were there in 2013/2014 season when Riberry/Robben orchestrated this sort of defeat on Barcelona, the game ended 7-0 home & away.
Bayern Munich are on another level, look at their arrogance, grit & flair. There's nothing this current crop of Barca players can do more than what they offered this night.
