Kounde and Martin were wooden and looked like deer in headlights trying to play out.

PSG played on it all game.

Its not even giving ball away it is just having no real ability to take ball smoothly and calmly choose an option that can help beat press.

Too often a rushed pass looking like dont know what will do until control ball and contriibuting to ball being treated like a hot potato.

It depends on wether they had passes to play with decent chance or success or not. Unless you expect them to dribble out of trouble in their own 30m.

Obviously they made errors of their own, but not as many as made out imo. Most of those were caused by PSG playing with more intensity and cohesion than we were able to in response.

Nah you can see by watching players how weak they are on ball.

Better fullbacks on ball get on a lot better than those two last night.

They treat ball like hot potato and take too many poor touches/decisions on it.

Again, when you are out of options to pass and you are pressed by a team as good as PSG, those things happen. The best way to deal with it is to improve your work off the ball. Lamine and Rashford were woeful on the night at providing options to escape their press. Olmo weak and slow also. This meant the backline was left for dead and for PSG players to feast on. On these conditions, we defended decently. Did not give away that many chances, until Balde's fuck up.

Heard the same nonsense for year about different Barca players.

For Arthur he didnt have runners so had to play safe.. Semedo no one passed to etc.

Many more but you can see what players lack and dont and both Kounde and Gerard lack on the ball and PSG played on it.

You can see in situations where they are poor and slow down the play as individuals and with the options on.

Don't change the subject. Kounde is a starter for France NT, not some weak player as you say. Seems like you expect him to be elite on the ball like Hakimi. He will never be like that.

Nor will others.

Nothing at all there changed the subject...

Kounde does start for France and he will struggle for France if teams press like that.

Arthur started for Brazil.. Semedo started for Portugal.

Can still see what players lack despite excuses for them.

Pedri starts for Spain and had a better tournament at 17/18 than Kounde ever had and still got torn to shreds by some as over rated and weak etc in past few years.

Dembele as starter for France and still got said to be over rated and all faults pointed out.

Cant have it all ways.

Interesting, so saying Mendes was better than Yamal overall in that game or even the last 2 times they faced (while getting MVP) now looks like trolling to you?

So when Yamal doesn't win a game, and someone says Yamal wasn't the best player there, that qualifies as lynching

Not sure how you have read my comment and come to the above conclusion, so let me clarify things even more.

I have already said what I think is highly unfair in regards to Lamine and somewhat of a lynching in this paragraph.

"Lynching a guy for being our best player when we were in the game and the ONLY one who created any danger and then being anonymous when surprise fucking surprise THE WHOLE TEAM WAS ANONYMOUS, is some ridiculous standards to hold an 18 year developing young player to. The fact is, if there was a fair referee, Mendes would have been off and Lamine would have been the biggest reason Barca would have probably gone on to win."

Now let me clarify what makes you a bonafide troll.

A user who hasn't posted at all after any of Barca's games, yet became very active after Barca's first defeat of the season, mainly because he feels the environment is comfortable enough to downplay Barca players. Interesting.

A user whose only previous period of activity on the forum this season was to turn up to justify why Dembele should win the Ballon Dor and any Barca player shouldn't. Interesting.

A user whose other periods of large activity here involve turning up to take the side of players that are trying to fuck Barca over, most notably when Dembele wanted to leave on the cheap. Interesting.

You turn up when Barca loses. You disappear when they win. Your opinions always side against Barca. Sounds like that Jair Ventura lad. Interesting !!!

Same excuses for Arhur and Semedo etc.

Always the fault of others when some just cant see what they lacked.

It's not excuses. It's cause and effect. Not having options to pass in time affects even the best fullbacks, let alone likes of Semedo.

It's how Villa had PSG on the ropes on Villa Park. Good intensity and aggression.

Thierry Henry: You were about to take second yellow. If you had to go higher and they change your position because it was tough to defend Yamal, that means Mendes struggled.
