    3-0 vs Liverpool 3-0 vs United 5-1 vs Lyon 3-0 vs Madrid 2-0 vs Atletico 6-1 vs Sevilla 3-0 vs Juventus 5-1 vs Madrid 4-2 vs Spurs 5-0 vs Sevilla 3-0 vs Chelsea 3-0 vs Madrid All that is a FLUKE though. What isn't a fluke is that ONE other result. In 10 years, Barcaforum will still hold a...

    Luis Suárez

    Not really mad. Benzema didn't score a knockout goal in 2 out of Madrid's 3 CL wins and the ones he scored last season were gifts by Karius and Ulreich. Suarez contributes enough, unless we're going to pretend he did not make the goal away vs. United or played a big role in the Messi tap-in...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Meh, that's some nonsense right there, mate. People were sitting here every CL matchday and fuming about Zidane's black magic. Juventus was up 3-0 in the Bernabeu before Madrid magically got a penalty in extra time. Injury-riddled Bayern with 35 year old Ribery were outplaying them with ease...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Bayern played great? Bayern's setup was almost identical to ours in big games: Possession high line against minnows; keeping it tight against big teams. Except they had Ribery and Robben in their primes running the counters whereas we have no pace at all on the wings. The Bayern 4-0 game...

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    It's not mentioned a lot but a quick reminder that the final this year is in Madrid. The Catalan flag on top of Cibeles to celebrate another treble after handing out 5-1 and 3-0 to Madrid would arguably be the best season in Barca history.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Sané? Sané has 1/10th of the talent of Neymar but the same size of ego. And if he was any good, Pep wouldn't get rid.

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Unlike Dembélé, this is the best he can do ability-wise. So I can't be mad at him for not being good enough. He tries. Paying € 160M on him isn't his fault. Being a luxury player who occasionally scored a Robben goal was always what he was.

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Didn't you know, Messi joined us last season. Before that we always won difficult games without his influence. :rolleyes:

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    I don't see how injury is an excuse for that miss or not passing to free Rakitic. He's been back for a while now, has been involved in 5 games prior to the Liverpool game, it's not his first game back. He gives me so much Alexis Sanchez vibes. He might have higher potential than Sanchez, i. e...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Outcoached Klopp without much of a fuss. Since his Dortmund days the blueprint to beat a Klopp side was always to let his team have the ball as they are not as dangerous on the ball as they are without it. So all they did was hoof the ball to Mané and Salah and hope for the best. Created only 1...

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    This has nothing to do with the shape of the team. Messi does not play on the left so it's irrelevant whether we have Abidal (defensive) or Alba (offensive) there, other than for Messi's diagonal passes. The right side is important because on paper we are putting Messi on the right flank but in...

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    Yes, I think there is no manager in the world who can make Messi press consistently nor stay wide. When Suarez first joined, and please remember his first game against Real Madrid, Suarez was putting crosses in from the right wing. We had the best #9 in the world on the right flank. Then we had...

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    This is a actually a great example why I hate long-winded Internet discussions. It will take walls of texts to make myself abundandly clear. I said our problem is that Messi does not play on the right wing and the lack of elite rightback amplifies the right-wing problem even more. I did not...

    So you were complaining for 2 years straight and think your complaining was justified and you are vindicated based on 1 result in 2 years which you predict to happen again. Well done to you. Keep complaining. The good old "I'll predict negativity so if it happens I'm Nostradamus and told you so...

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    Of course they are, any team that is playing a 90+ points league season in a top league is. We can very well lose against Liverpool. If Monaco can put 6 goals in 2 legs past tactical grand master Sir Pep's 2 billion Euro team, we can also lose against the best Liverpool team in years. It's the...

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    Would be too depressing to post here more regularly, mate. 40 % whining and bitching about lineups and rotations pre-match. 40 % whining and bitching after winning games. 18 % whining and bitching about Suarez, Coutinho, Dembélé and Rakitic. 2 % elite posts (mostly by me, followed by...

    Liverpool's away results against the top sides they faced this season: 1:2 vs. Man. City 2:1 vs. Tottenham 1:1 vs. Chelsea 1:1 vs. Arsenal 0:0 vs. United 0:1 vs. Napoli 0:2 vs. Red Star Belgrade (:pep:) 1:2 vs. PSG BUT. They are going to 7up Barca, according to resident experts. Okay. Can't...
