Better become a real cule then and join @ FCBarca , as you both talk and think alike.

I wouldn’t know who that muppet is but you clearly suffer hearing some truth.
I guess I’m banned any minute now for liking a player (who is still OUR player btw) but could end up playing for another club within a year, which would make me a traitor.

I assume you guys are grown men but I don’t understand why some here can’t have an argument without getting offended like a 16 year old girl.

I rate Eric over John. End of. It doesn’t make me a Barcelona fan. I’m a City fan and I hope he stays because that would be good news for our team. I’m clearly better than you at identifying talent.
 
Rodent and Torres didn’t change the game. They were able though to exploit

Yeah but the pattern of the game was because he (and others)kept passing backwards, sideways or giving it away.

He wasn’t the worst culprit there. Having said that, Porto had 11 behind the ball most of the time, after the goal our subs and forwards were granted more space to exploit abd be more progressive.
 
Probably Garcia played tonight because we were short of numbers and fitness from players that were available. I honestly don't want to discuss his merits or anything about him. He has expressed he doesn't want to stay and he wants to return to Barcelona. From that statement he was dead to me and he should have been to the club. He may or may not turn out to be a top centre back but it won't be for us as he will be gone so there's no point in speculating. Please God Laporte and Dias stay fit and we only see him if we have to in league cup games.
 
Wow where do you start, so many poor performances inc the manager

That 1st 50 minutes was fooking toothache very very poor at times, we really struggle to develop breaking that defending middle & constantly give ball after ball away

What the fook was Cancelo on tonight?

Garcia is weak as piss & Rodri is just not good enough

Picking up those balls off Eddy & fullbacks only happens when Rodri has 20 yards of space its to slow often when he starts we start really slow
Fuck knows what we do now Dino is out, 6 weeks is a long time thats around 12 games

People have a dig about Gundagun but it starts imo from when Rodri gets it

2nd half was much better but Phil & Toress made it quicker around the link ups & shorter & quicker passing definately changed it

Walker was mom for me & Dias settled down after a bad mistake

Pep, not got a clue why Dino comes on with 10 mins to go, crazy substitution for me he was never warmed up the guy is 34 not 24

Easy after the event just dont get it?

Put this 1 out there?

Sergio looks like hes wearing lead boots in quicksand

Rodri for me is back up at best

LB is still a massive problem

Injuries dont get any easier, Peps intense training & workload isn't helping compared to other clubs, all teams are playing so no excuses yes Champs League gives us an extra 6 games this next 2 months

If Messi is coming in January then great, waiting for Summer for another fwd would be wrong imo

Also with Dino struggling would you go for Declan Rice or Calvin Philips??

2 decent young England lads that would give us 10 years service

Go get 1 of them with Messi & Ake to solve LB

Thoughts please??
 
My issue with Garcia has nothing to do with him wanting to return to Barca. As someone pointed out a few pages ago he will probably do well there. But the kid gets horribly exposed in our system and his limitations are there for all to see. He can’t help being a short arse, but Puyol wasn’t tall. He can’t help being slow, but Terry was no Usain Bolt. I also happen to think he’s poor positionally and can’t tackle for toffee. Apart from that I think he’s tops.

Ask Pep not me . He wouldn't play again if up to me.

We do have something of an injury crisis, so we need to use what we have registered. I'm not his greatest fan either, but he plays because we don't have many alternative, yes Stones and Bellis were on the bench, but none of us know their fitness either.

Navigating this season is going to be tough, so we need all we can use right now, another potential CB lost tonight.
