Barca vs Leverkusen

Suarez: "At half-time, the coach indicated some things you don't see when you're on the pitch. He changed the system and it helped us."

the genius of Luis Enrique, come back from 0-1 through Munir and Sergi Roberto

Lol even then we were not playing gud. Brainless pressing of Leverkusen made them tired at crucial period and we cashed in lyk eternal opportunists.

Sandro was awful lol wasted a 100% chance twice and nothing positive resulted due to his plays.

Munir is ALOT better, at least on the right wing, and I reckon he will start at Sevilla

he missed opportunities but he also created some which shows promise
munir's match is overrated, his "assist" looked like pure luck the ball rebounded twice and he did one nice dribble, the goal itself was more suarez's brilliance than munirs pass because any player would usually miss that shot even suarez/messi

Luck or not Munir was a big reason why we made that comeback while Sandro kept looking wasteful.

There's no sane reason to want Sandro to be picked over Munir in the near future.

I'm sorry but wtf is the point of having 2 keepers on the bench, LOL.

-------Ter Stegen
Adriano-Bartra-Vermalean-Alba
---------Samper
--Rakatic-------Kaptoum
Munir----Messi----Sandro

Bench
Bravo
Masip
Busquets
Mascherano
Camara
Suarez
Gumbau

Shit depth that's the point

We couldn't of found a single other player from the first team or 2nd team as oppose to having another keeper?! Yea ok..lol

I don't really care as we will can only use 3 subs anyway, but just seems ridiculous. It's like we just accepted to only come out with 5 possible subs lol

enrique giving scrubs like munir/gambau/samper/camara chances but not guys like denis suarez/deulofeu

Leverkusen. Do or die game, home advantage and they fail to win against a team consisting of Samper, Kaptoum, Munir, Sandro, Adriano, Bartra, Vermaelen, Gumbau and Camara.

La Mehsia going full throttle.

Ter Stegen denying neverkusen in the dying minutes. glorious stuff.

I have to agree with this. It's like something I would do on FIFA and get away with, in the real world it shouldn't happen lol

Kaptoum has great dribling, but his passing is very bad. Needs a lot of improvement.

Adriano was our worst player. I don't understand what happened to him. It's like he doesn't care. We should sell him.

Ter Stegen was stellar and with such a cofindence, though he gave away the ball a couple of times with stupid passes. Needs to improve that.

From our youngsters, only Samper played well. He was really good and confirms he is the current Masia gem until Lee Seung Woo and Carles Alenyà come along.

Forgot to mention how awful Bartra was.

Oh, but he wasn't, he saved a couple of certain goals towards the end, and was all the time left alone by Adriano and Vermaelen, and whomever played as left back. Only guy defending.

You forget to acknoweledge Samper isn't dog poo like you started to claim just because Luis Enrique wasn't playing him so you had to not rate him in accordance of what was happening, so you can always claim to have the upper hand.

I never called Samper dog poo. Not that he did anything of note that would disprove such a claim. But I didn't. Bartra is the one who is dog poo.

Do I need to go look into your past posts?

If that makes you happy.

I know what I wrote. I said he doesn't impress me as much as his hype suggests, that he ought to show a lot more with almost 21, that he struggled against Villanovense and that there is no imminent need to give him first team minutes just on the basis that Gumbau is used to make up the numbers in the squad. I never called him dog poo though. Unlike Bartra who will be 25 soon and is still stepping out of his defensive line and running all over the place like a headless chicken to chase every ball with the positional awareness of Google Maps with disabled GPS function, Samper has still lots of time left for me to make a definitive judgement on his abilities.

That happens because he was left alone defending vs. all Leverkusen, with no FB and a static CB as partner. Normal.

Still, there's no point in rating his performances until he is not given a run of games, ala Sergi Roberto.

He lacks quality regardless of match sharpness. It's the same in every game with him. This sums up his entire play. Every action by him is desperate. One of the worst attributes to have as a centerback.

what's that picture supposed to show?


Actually, it's a good metaphor from the entire game: Vermaelen and Adriano being badly positioned and someone lying on the floor, while Bartra is the only one defending (desparately, I agree, but rightly so).

No,he said Bartra is dog poo. Yes I stalk futbol

no one called samper dog poo, i'm probably his biggest hater (if you could call me that) and all i've said is his hype is overrated and he's average at best.
