You're the one who felt the need to quote my post to make an irrelevant comment as far as I'm concerned.

Irrelevant.

i think our second top scorer this season is own goals

If we are paying Suarez 25 million € a season, how much we should pay for own goals? 40mil €?

 

[DonAK]

Irrelevant.

Yes. Good boy.

It's cause he loves the DonAK!

Another crap game. Lucky this was a cl game and not a league one. Was starting to think la liga was ours to lose but second thoughts now.

You loved that one eh?

Belter it was to be fair.

Olympiacos away was always gonna be a tough game.

Many great teams have struggled to get a point there.

It is relevant if the argument is not giving youngsters a chance in comparison to other managers.

Being best B team player is less relevant.

How many 19 year olds did Pep play in the easy rounds?

You're trying to use Alena's exact age as a reason for why he should not be used. Pep used to use players like Cuenca in games like these.

I agree. Shitty field + parked bus + few great chances missed = 1pt. TBH had Suarez scored one of his few chances, we would probably beaten them 3-0 as they would open a bit. In any case, better then game against them at CN.

No Im not I am saying if the argument is about youngsters and using others like Pep as an example it is relevant to look at how they treated good young players at that age.

Cuenca was older and doesnt have the same relevance if comparing young barca products and when they played them.

Would say Thiago is a fair comparison of young La Masia midfielder dominating B team at 19.

Is it though? They are 4th at the moment in the damn Greek Superleague ffs. It's been several years since they haven't won the entire thing.

They are having a poor season and didn't even put up much of a fight today against us but our team looked crazy stale. A good and on-form Barca team of any of the last 7 years should be smacking them 3 or 4-0 at least.

How many 19 year old players of Alena's clear and obvious quality did Pep have to choose from when he was manager here?

There was a time when a game like this would be a solid win regardless of circumstances. We used to win with players like Alex Song somehow forcing their way into the starting lineup. Man, were we spoiled or what?

Thiago.

 

[God Serena]

Thiago.

I led you into that one pretty easily. Thiago was quite easily one of Pep's favorite ever Barca B players. If Pep was here Alena would likely have been the same.
