CL: Barca - PSG 1-2

[JamDav1982]

Kounde did fine vs Barcola. His man. Martin didn't do poorly either.

You can't play well when you are attacked by multiple targets and you are all alone.

Kounde was terrible.

On the ball he is so stiff and obvious with every movement and 1v1 the same.

 

[Lutece FC]

Yeah, big picture, whether we drew or lost, I think it's clear to us that we aren't on the same level.

This is not what Pedri says.

 

[serghei]

Considering how little help the defense had, even with Cubarsi's error, the back 4 and Tek had better game than anyone else.

 

[BJJ]

We had a poor game and PSG second team had a point to prove.
We're still not at that elite level in Europe and imo it's because of player recruitment. City and PSG can spend whatever they want, whenever they want. In the meantime we keep on penny pinching and struggle to register players.
Also Flick is going to have to adapt better to these elite teams.
Alot of people were whinging about not making the final last year. Well, thank God, we didn't. We would have received the same treatment as Inter.
Also why play Garcia as CB? I'm still not convinced by our defence. Another thing us get a proper destroyer type dm. Someone who is physical and can break up play.

Btw, just shows how important Raphinha is to this team. This guy is relentless in attack. Remember his goal vs Benfica in the dying minutes? Insane. This guy is the heart of this team in terms of work rate. No one comes close.

We needed Raphy today. Badly.

Kinda true. The expectations were low for the defense in general. Midfield was very disappointing for me. All the hype for Pedri-DeJong but they dropped the ball today.

 

[RedxMAK]

It's the payback for Aytekin fraud.

What payback are you talking about brother

 

[Skalman]

I feared we would loose but i didn't realized or didn't want to realize that the difference was this big. I think we can thank our lucky star that we ended up on the weaker side last year.

 

[HeadElastico]

I agree. Raphinha isn't elite quality but his work rate was sorely missed today.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

What we should realise is that guys like Martin, Fermin, Casado, even Balde are nowhere near the level most fans think they are.

Balde didn't look fit at all. He didn't have his burst of speed what he usually has. Maybe 50% of his normal level. There's a reason why he was a sub.and flick only subbed Martin out when he was totally gassed. He couldn't run more than ten meters.

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

The money argument's total BS, our recruitment's shit. We let the best mid itw go for free, Puig would've destroyed Vit today assuming he had proper teammates around him.

 

[malvolio]

Kounde did fine vs Barcola. His man. Martin didn't do poorly either.

You can't play well when you are attacked by multiple targets and you are all alone.

Multiple players appeared in their zones untracked by nobody. This was amateur hour.

Agreed, Yamal and Trashy did fuck all most of the match providing cover.

 

[serghei]

Kinda true. The expectations were low for the defense in general. Midfield was very disappointing for me. All the hype for Pedri-DeJong but they dropped the ball today.

Pedri in particular tired himself out. Had to go himself to close down Hakimi, as Rashford didn't do shite. Then back to midfield, he ran a LOT.

Press was terrible.

We played like a team believing our own hype that we are better than them, and they schooled us.

 

[Barcaman]

Claims PSG goal was offside after all.
