please get out. I can't watch a single minute with players like that playing for Barca. Embarrassing technique. sloppy passes last and right. soft in duels. a total fuckup for a 93rd minute equaliser. We would be better of with 10 players.

no.. he was crap the whole game. can only make one pass... to the back. cannot dribble. cannot control. was a liability. they let him make like 29 crosses and 2 were a hit

He wasn't that crap if you factor in that he made 2 assists during the game. By comparison, what the hell did Araujo do that had even the slightest positve impact for the team?

His crosses in the 2nd half were pretty spot on.

That's Araujo. Who didn't do anything good. Only fuck-up after fuck-up.

At least players like Olmo and Martin alternated their errors with moments of inspiration that helped the team. Unlike said bum.

olmo redeemed himself with the goal yes. but Martin is suspect across the two legs, not just this game. he has been a disaster choice.
as for araujo. I believe he is the sub that sealed our fate

Except Araujo is a seasoned veteran and a captain. Poor Martin was thrown in to the wolves.

I'd give the new guy more of a break and put my energy on trying to get rid of that farce of defender. Now that's improving the squad.

Araujo has played great games. has talent. has shown top level. he is now declined, true. but players like Martin... they should not be in the squad list of Barca, its shameful. I can't believe we don't have a better youngster or a cheap alternative. I watch greek league with teams that have 1/100th of our Current budget and haven't seen a left back as bad as Martin.

Hasn't shown shite. He has a handful of games in CL knockouts and fucked up all of them. Fucked up vs PSG, fucked up vs Dortmund, fucked up vs Inter. He is a master at being shite in CL just like Stegen.

No manager can fix that. They are damaged goods.

I really have no argument in favour of Araujo.
currently I hate Martin and the people who have him a chance in TMthe first team. better field a cone next time.

I'm not going to hate on him, it's such a lowest common denominator kind of thing to do. On what basis is he worthy of hate?

The guy should have had 3 second half assists from left back in a UCL semi final. I believe he broke some sort of record with his 2 assists anyway. This, from a guy that was playing reserve team football 12 months ago.

What more are you expecting? Has he been woeful at times defensively? Yes. Was he woeful defensively today? Absolutely not. Was he poor for the equaliser? No, he was fouled.

There have been plenty to step up to the plate as full back cover and none have done better than this guy. Not your Fort or what Valle would have done.

Should we be hating Flick for keep picking him? No. Because THERE IS NOBODY ELSE. Most folk wanted Inigo at full back, well I don't see Inigo running down the wing and creating the assists Gerard did.

In a nutshell ........ Basta fukin ya !
