Bin Busquets and Iniesta and replace them with Matic and Oscar and the result would have been reversed.
Getting dominated by old man Motta, a bootleg Ramires and freaking Verratti.
Cesc would have been dissecting that PSG defence with ease ffs. Imagine not being able to create anything against a team with clowns like Lu17, VDW, Maxwell and Marquinhos at the back.
Most assists in Europe this season after picking up his 8th tonight.

Don't you dare get self-righteous with me. You guys don't hesitate to get in digs at Cesc. Let me bask in the glory of Iniesta and Rakitic getting dominated by a pub footballer.

Re: Paris Saint-Germain vs F.C Barcelona
not too concerned with the loss, if it weren't for alves and alba we would of won easily 2-1 or perhaps 2-0
also gotta remember this is our 4th game in just a matter of 10 days also away from home and if this were a semi/quarter final this result would of actually been favored considering we got two goals away from home so there are many positives to come from this.
also lol at gil still pimping out cesc

Watching Alves with the ball frustrates the shit out of me. He and Alba basically cost us the game. I wish the former left, last summer.
Also, a disappointing performance by MaTS. He was at fault for the 2nd goal, and while he wasn't for the 3rd, you could argue he could have intercepted the cross as it was pretty much within his reach but I could be wrong.

Re: Paris Saint-Germain vs F.C Barcelona
As neutral fan, gotta say I was underwhelmed and a bit confused by Iniesta and Rakitic performance. It seems like their role is specifically support Alves and Alba who were not that effective going forward. Especially Rakitic whose 1st instinct was always pass to Alves. I rarely saw those two connected with each other hence the midfield in front of Biscuit was stretched out and Messi ended up drop back occupy it.
It looks like Lucho tactics since Xavi did the same when he replaced Rakitic. If it's tactic from Lucho, I don't really like it.

Re: Paris Saint-Germain vs F.C Barcelona
When a team presses high, their design is to recover the ball high and immediately transition to the attack. Barca does it and so does PSG. To say the PSG goals were "avoidable" is not accurate if they are the reault of the primary tactic of the opposing team... it means they just executed their plan. The counter argument too is that Cavani should have scored a couple if he weren't such a clutz and Pastore also had chances... not to mention others. Also, Barca have sucked at set pieces since forever. That is also a tactic against them.
PSG outplayed Barca. It could have ended 3-3, but it easily could have been 4-1 or 5-1 as well. On the Neymar goal, it was a floating cross by Alves that 3 PSG defenders somehow missed with only Messi in the area and it fell to Neymar's feet. By your logic, that was the most avoidable of the goals.... a random high cross against 5 defenders and only Messi/Neymar in the box should never lead to a goal.
Anyhow.

Re: Paris Saint-Germain vs F.C Barcelona
The goals are avoidable because the Barcelona players failed to pass it out of the back properly and instead dribbled themselves into problems. We also failed to deal with Marco f*cking Veratti on a CORNER.
I could go into more detail, but regardless of what you say about high pressure...that doesn't change the fact that these goals were entirely avoidable from the Barcelona perspective.
Not really sure what you're on about, to be honest.

Re: Paris Saint-Germain vs F.C Barcelona
Every goal is avoidable that's my point. But to say that they were 100% a result of Barca not doing its job is completely false... PSG's tactics were designed to specifically cause the errors that Barca made. Namely, put high pressure and force the defenders to make passing/dribbling decisions as opposed to the midfielders BECAUSE defenders are more error-prone with the ball.
As far as the Verratti goal... there were 4 PSG guys on the far post for only 1 Barca defender and the keeper. It wasn't a 1on1 mistake... it was a complete zonal mistake. It just happened to land on Verratti as opposed to the others. BUT AGAIN, everyone knows that Barca is weak on set pieces. Been like this for years. So they emphasize getting FKs and taking advantage of them.
To me, something is reasonably avoidable if it's mostly random. None of the goals by PSG were random.... not one. Other than Ter Stegen badly coming off his line and having a better chance of saving Verratti's header if he didn't, the rest were a result of PSG taking advantage of Barca's specific areas of weakness.

Nah Sports, dunno if you watched the game or not but it was nothing to do with tactics. Pressing is one thing, but when Dani Alves is taking 5-6 touches in his defensive third, any player worth his wages is going to put him under pressure.

Getting dominated by the likes of Matuidi and Verratti is not a 'big shame'. They are top class players.
@gil besides Matic there is not Chelsea player that would get in Barca's team except for the defense. Matic would be a big, big improvement over Busquets.

That's just Barca and Madrid arrogance thinking that every loss or goal conceded was "avoidable" and the opponent wasn't just better...

Did anyone even watch the game here?
Verratti was invisable and Matuidi didnt do much but foul. Besides their goals, they didnt even play well, both are MUCH better than they showed.

Re: Paris Saint-Germain vs F.C Barcelona
Rewatching the game right now. Making notes for all individual defensive errors. Finished with the 1st half so far:
3:35: Busquets owned, trying to be cute and milk a foul, gets his pocket picked in his own half - this ain't LOL Liga, brah.
7:50 Alba simply owned by Lucas.
8:10 Alves owned, trying to dribble players at the edge of his own box, turning the ball over for the freekick which results in the goal.
12:10 Mathieu passing out of the back directly into the feet of Lucas.
12:20 Busquets owned again similar to the first one trying to be cute, just boot it when 3 men are harrassing you, lad.
25:15 Alba owned, trying to dribble the ball, Lucas just takes it off him lol. This ain't LOL Liga, brah.
31:30 Alba owned, dribbling forward again directly into a tackle by Motta and causing a counterattack.
33:50 Alves brainless cross. Not a defensive mistake in this context but I had to note this down anyway because DAT cross. Gif will follow later.
Of course you also have the 2 set piece goals (Mascherano marking Luiz and Rakitic marking no one). But overall PSG surprisingly didn't create much apart from the set pieces and both Barca fullbacks battling each other in who has less brain cells.

Re: Paris Saint-Germain vs F.C Barcelona
What do you expect after this weird decision to have the more experienced goalie play weekly and get proper practice, while having the youngster who never played CL before play CL only and not get the chance to properly gel with the defense?Deja Vu wrote:Also, a disappointing performance by MaTS.

Shouldn't Enrique have noticed that this didn't work properly for Real either, and there they had two experienced goalies with good standing?

Did nothing special. Had a "normal" game. Perhaps not invisible, but nothing to talk about.

Re: Paris Saint-Germain vs F.C Barcelona
Verratti was fantastic... many of the counter attacks started because he was calm with the ball under pressure from Barca players and made a clean and good pass forward. Matuidi was very good too... he was hounding the left side of the pitch and closing gaps.
Not sure why you didn't think so Dani. I thought both played very well... and Matuidi hadn't been that good until this game tbh.
