    CL : Barca - Olympiakos 6-1

    Overall, there's a lot of players on here who get talked about like they're superstars when they're just good, or even average. People need to get a reality check. @malvolio gets accused of hating Barca for his negative slant - I don't think so. I think he just has high standards and is used to...

    CL : Barca - Olympiakos 6-1

    Lol yeah, thanks. I agree with most of that. Tbh I thought people would take offence as that reads very anti-Barca. But it is not that. I am simply calling it as I see it. I like Barca and Pep's Barca are the best team I have ever seen, but I am honest and if I don't rate players or coaches I...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Hipster coach overrated by hipsters who think football is theory played on paper. He's good, but no more. No way is he an elite coach imo. He's done nothing as a head coach other than win a lucky COVID treble and bomb Germany in Qatar.

    CL : Barca - Olympiakos 6-1

    Yeah but PSG don't have Real and Atletico in their league. I am with you, too, I said that they were poor first half of the season. I'd like Barca to win the treble but with this system, this coach, and these players, I just cannot see it. Plus Barca haven't won the CL for 10 years, and there...

    CL : Barca - Olympiakos 6-1

    I suspected at the start of the season that this Flick intensity and high line stuff is just not sustainable. Let's call a spade a spade - Barca had little challenge in La Liga last season either, and shipped 7 goals against a defensive Inter side. They played entertaining football but wouldn't...

    Ok fair enough. I still maintain a premium level team doesn't have Fermin Lopez as a starter. Maybe I just have high standards. But I guess we will find out more in the next decade.

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    Yeah he hasn't been bad in terms of goals and assists. But when I watch him it's the usual him being on the periphery of games - he's just playing in a team that helps its attackers more than he got at United. Some people though are trying to rub it in and tell guys like me we are wrong...

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    It would be typical Barca for him to have a moderately impressive loan spell, you sign him, then him turn into a donkey in his second season.

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    I don't rate him but fair play to him for getting goals and assists. But the true tests are yet to come.

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    How many times - I don't flip flop on individual games - especially games where he scored two late goals when the game is over at home to Olympiacos in the group phase, in a game where the scoreline flatters Barca. I won't be judging him til he plays top teams. That's where Barca expect players...

    8 - Pedri

    Yes it's a top level post. I have said pretty much everything he did there, just not all in the same post and perfectly like that.

    CL : Barca - Olympiakos 6-1

    I never wrote him off. I am saying that I don't believe he will be good all season, or when it counts. Because I don't rate him as a player. He wasn't - you can watch the video for proof. He had a few good moments that you remember and it causes you to misremember his entire performance (along...

    CL : Barca - Olympiakos 6-1

    Just expecting this guy to call me clueless for not rating Rashford, as if he is Pele or above criticism or something. So pre-empting him by explaining why my stance is reasonable.

    CL : Barca - Olympiakos 6-1

    I watched the highlights of that game (against PSG) - they were laughable, most of the time it was him giving the ball away etc. He had a few good moments and that's it - ask serghei to post the video again and it will prove what I am saying. You are also overlooking that Man United are a...

    CL : Barca - Olympiakos 6-1

    Let's hope Flick is smarter than to think everything is going swimmingly just because they won by five goals. Play like they did against Girona in the Clasico and RM will hammer them.

    CL : Barca - Olympiakos 6-1

    I didn't watch but sounds like 6-1 is immensely flattering with some unfair decisions in Barca's favour (according to posters above). If that's the case, it's a classic watch the performance not the score game. Just like Girona at the weekend.

    16 - Fermín López

    Not that surprising. There haven't been many prolific Spanish strikers in the CL era, other than Raul, Torres and Villa.

    CL : Barca - Olympiakos 6-1

    He had like two half decent seasons out of 8 or 9 at United. And he's always been a streaky scorer, and the type who's invisible other than in moments. Even tonight, it didn't sound like he or Barca were doing much before the game was safe. Works both ways - guys like you are acting like he's...

    Fair point. Good to see you, hope you are okay.

    CL : Barca - Olympiakos 6-1

    Not looking good at all for Clasico. Been limping through most games, figuratively and literally.
