Y there was no lukaku
Ter Stegen is saving the Barcelona, literally. But the coach sucks
Good point, what was Griezman thinking moving to Barca. Bad the bigger question is, what was Barca thinking giving 120 Million for him? Where should he play, did they think about it? I guess not, just a marketing move, at least it seems like it now.
Selling vidal will be our biggest mistake after valvarde!
Passes completed good play Barcelona
Messi is best player of all time and history
Watching the game live. Vidal changed the whole game when he got subbed in. Vidal De jong and Arthur is the midfield barcelona should play with.
Since When is losing to Barca 2-1 in Spain shameful?
So no one’s going to admit that both of Valverde’s substitutions were good? Lol
I say we play a 4-2-3-1
This way we fit everyone in.
Messi RW, Griezmann CF/CAM, Dembele LW , and Suarez ST
ANOTHER CLIP JUST MENTION SUAREZ AND MESSI.. WHEN VIDAL WAS THE ONE THAT CHANGED THE GAME
I hope espn gets LaLiga contract for the US broadcasting next year or that LaLiga can find a network like Premier league has w/NBC or Bundesliga has w/Fox sports….
It was stupid decision to buy Griezmann. Coutinho actually started well with Barca. He just lost his form and confidence last year around November/December.
Suarez hasn't scored a double for years in the cl.
Valverde is just an statue there until someone removes him. That is his contribution to coaching & tactics.
There is no chemistry between Messi and Griezman. Messi wanted Neymar back.
Barca should play 2 strikers up head . Suarez and griezmann and messi behind them
hi
Without MESSI bracelona average
Grezman needs to learn how to play with the ball take people on create his own goals ….or he will fail at barce
Barcelona Messi Messi Messi Suarez Suarez Suarez Suarez Suarez 100 Cognition Barcelona
Can they maybe move Messi in the mid behind the striker so he can make the distribution?.. But I really think Griezmann isn't going to do much
i think its time for Busquets to sit on the bench… its Vidal's time. Busquets has always been key for barsa, but now he's too slow… barcelona needs faster tougher midfield. is just a matter of time for the forwards to click… 2:20 you've said it… Bqts too slow…
Griezmann is jealous of Messi…..that's why we need the replacement for Griezmann…and it's going to be Lutaro….
Lutaro Martinez is the replacement for Griezmann……and Valverde Out!!! Can you imagine the 3 south Americans together???
….only South Americans can do that!!!
The main change I saw after Busi's substitution is that Vidal played slightly higher almost no 10 position and pressed the defenders very well and De Jong and Arthur shifted into Double Pivot roles for more stability in mid and to supress the counter attacks.
Valverde acts like he doesn't understand people's positions, constantly playing people out of position causing problems. G-man from what I can gather is the long term replacement. But right now he's a man without a position so he just plays wherever. Which is wasting him. Valverde's lack of concern for the physical could be why we are seeing so many repeating injuries. Something is wrong. Clearly he is not the man for the job. Even the players should see that now. No creativity. We should be playing like Man City. Instead of just barely beating people like we are.
Neymar thinks more of the same as Messi and there's no any other even closer to Neymar so don't expect Griezmann to be Neymar. He's not that type of a player. He was never. He will never be.
Yall talking about busquets fault when the real reason was semedo
Another reminder why Messi deserves the Ballon d'Or. Nothing against Van Dijk but it would be a travesty if he won. He's a great defender but in no way does he carry Liverpool like Messi carries Barca. Last season Messi dragged Barca continually and was the reason why they went to Anfield with a lead they should have never thrown away. It's ridiculous that one fixture is used against him for an individual award, in a game where his defensive teammates let him down. Meanwhile, Liverpool's success last season and the reason why they keep winning is a collective effort. Not to mention, this season Van Dijk has been exposed a lot more, making a number of mistakes. His teammates don't get enough credit, considering he's the one who's been put on a pedestal as their main man.
That pass from Vidal though for the Suarez volley ?
Barca got some oxygen when Valverde substituted Busquets and put DeJong to CDM position and Vidal to CM.
No mattr wt get dis fuckin valverde out of camp nou
I am genuinely FED UP of CR7 being mentioned alongside Messi as if they are comparable. It’s so fucking offensive and insulting to football and football fans. I understand the MARKETING CLICKBAIT aspect of it but enough is enough. It’s time to separate these two. It’s time for Messi to be officially acknowledged as a player who doesn’t have a peer and stop mentioning CR in the same breath as him. It’s fucking offensive.
How are people still comparing Cristina to Messi I don’t understand. Isn’t it CLEAR they are on two different levels? Isn’t it BLATANT to see that Messi is on a drastically higher level than CR?
CR is literally a fucking goal poacher. How are we comparing him to this #10 Messi whos a fucking PLAYMAKER.. who carries the entire team on his shoulders
Cristiano does not playmake. How can they be compared? Cristiano lives in the box waiting for rebounds and tap ins smh
Why do I think Barca is gonna become the next United when Messi leaves like when Ferguson left.
Griezmann needs time. He is a long term signing. Messi will not be around forever. He will be the next false 9 eventually
Yeah Yesterday good
What they need to do is play 4-4-2
Griezmann out of position ,Dejong ,first half out of position ,Busquets should be on the bench .Vidal entered and it starts all by injecting action ,speed , and verticality ,beside attacking each and every ball ,leaving no space to Inter.Vidal is a legend and NEVER he should stay on the bench!
The ball to Suarez (first goal) perfect , the second goal started with Vidal snatching the ball and give to Leo and Leo is the BEST .Suarez after Grizmann went out and Dembelé come in moved to the center where he belongs,DeJong went back to middle and start to show his power ,everything start to function ,Dembelé engaging 2/3 defender all the time ,Vidal all over ,Arthur and DeJong dominate the midfield and so we got the game .Valverde is not the coach for Barcelona .
Of course the front line looked better with Dembele on the left. His an actual winger! Griezmann should not be on the left. Replace Suarez with Griezz up front, and let De Jong and Arthur dominate in midfield
Aside from this game, Suarez has been lackluster for the better part of 2020….last half of the 18-19 campaign to present. His form has been, expectedly with his age, steadily declining for the last couple of seasons. Griezmann should be given an opportunity to compete for that central role. If he outperforms Suarez, then so be it. Starting up front should be Dembele or Ansu Fati (rotating on the left), Griezmann in the striker role, and the goat doing what he does best. Suarez should be subbing in, or at least alternating starts, & proving himself while Griezmann gets the minutes and builds his chemistry with the team. Griezmann on the left wing of a 4-3-3 isn't going to work, just as it didn't with Coutinho.
Of course, our defensive woes being properly addressed would make a huge impact and cover up a lot of our other "sins".
Out of the three midfielders, frenkie dejong is the only one moving the ball forward. Our backward passes over the years is just too annoying…valverde out
Either Play Griezmman or Suarez, not both…..Next season finalize coutinho sale, sell Dembele, Ansu is way better, and buy Neymar back……Fix Right Back and Center Back.
Give us your opinion on the Ajax sensation last night!
Messi is greatest ever
barcaaaaaaaaaa
barca will be a banter always ,if they continue with valvarde as manager and scrap defence xd
