WTF is happening out there. Valencia is playing us EXACTLY like Madrid. Look at that Valencia formation solid as a rock... Take a good look at it when we have possession. Then look at ours when they have the ball,we're a fuckingmess back there fellas... A M E S S
yup whe it rains it pours but we will weather the storm just thought munir should hav been given a run in d last 10 at least hav nothing to do with tiki taka we just not converting. ...atleast 4 chances could have been scored
Tiki Taka is boring as sheit! That's the reason why they're failing because it doesn't promote alternative play-making. I swear games in Bundesliga, La Liga and China is more exciting to watch than Barça hogging possession!
We spoke of this height issues YEARS ago... All you need to do to beat Barça: Traditional 4-4-2 Compact Defense spread play wide... Strikers too small/short to dominate with wide crosses... Crowd out messi-avoid the cut it.
The full backs are TOO attacking! Their defensive skills are sketchy at best putting too much pressure on pique mash and busq. Jordi Alba and Sergio were caught out of position yesterday NUMEROUS times!
1. Commenter: A rare attacking corner goal from barca-Problem 1
2. Benzema as a BIG strong target is allowed to muscle in the bicycle kick no one to match him in size(pique is thin compared to how robust Benz is)
3. Gath Bale disallowed goal is NOT a foul-jordi alba is just too freaking small...he's a rag doll to be tossed around. Bale MUSCLES him and wins the header easily.
4. Ronaldo goal: what can you say EXACTLY what we've been talking about with this small defense...and Alves being out of position again!
Was pissed last year when City got Otamendi ...that's the one thing bringing Pogba in would help us with if they really are interested in him...strength,height,versatility.
Mathieu should have been given more chances at CB...he's big,fast and strong...never really got a chance to prove himself though. I still think we should try going for Laporte though...he's quality and verrrrry young.
Godin would obviously be the best person right now but he won't leave AM...especially for Barca
Also I don't think tiki taka is dead. We beat Juve...one of the best defences in Europe with it...and AM on all occasions with it before the second leg. The problem is that we don't know how to adapt. Once AM parked the bus like that we should have changed style immediately. We have distance shooters like Rakitic and Suarez...they need to take advantage of that...
wrt height...there's nothing we can do about it really...besides Pique...none of our players are 6ft (excluding goalkeepers) akaik...
I can agree with Mathieu being a better CB than LB, but our entire defence in need of a refresh tbh. Alves is not as dynamic as before and don't possess the legs to get back. Pique is not world class imo and lacks the organization and leadership that Puyol showed. Masche too rash and lacks height and power. And Alba.... well Alba is just pace, he needs to up his game if he gonna stay.
tbh Ramos>Pique Enrique needs to start rotating Vidal with Alves now...we really need a new first team CB...Verminator and Bartra not cutting it...also I think its time Ter Stegen gets some La liga game time...Bravo rel suspect lately and plus he's 33 years old. Ter Stegen have rel quality in him.
