Memphis Depay

[vegitot]

'Fighter' or not Vidal was horrendous v Bayern.

Barcelonas biggest issue in that game was a lack of quality and legs more than anything.

Tell me who is brillant against Bayern that night? Maybe Suarez only when he scored.

The result against Bayern was crazy, and we could scored 2 goals when the result was 1-1. Suarez vs Neuer 1 on 1, at Messi hitting the post, so the match could be very different. We weren't so weak to deserve a result 2-8. Bayern's defence was the same shit as ours. The problem was menthal that we just gave up after the fifth Bayern's goal when Alphonso Davies humiliated Semedo...

I would rather have 5 Iniestas and 5 Van Bommels.

But since we have mostly choirboys, then even 1, 2 or 3 fighters is a step forward.

Name 1 player outside of Vidal who was fighting in Lisabon.

Frosty Mats, sulking Messi, finished Suarez, good guy Busi etc?

I'm sure you would. I'm getting a bit confused here though. Didn't you say that none of the players fought in Lissabon?

With Van Bommel, you can't lose 2:8. And if you are losing, you won't lose without giving a fight, a few kicks to opponent, some yelling, yellow cards and similar.
If you lose, you will at least know that you tried.
Can you say: oh, at least we tried after nights in Rome, Anfield or Lisabon?
No. Those guys didn't even try more or less. When we concede for 0:1 and 0:2, they sulk, defend around the box, don't yell, don't talk, don't fight.

Also peculiar how we could manage a 2-8 defeat whilst having Vidal on the pitch, considering his warrior-profile is impressively similar to our dutch friend.

For example, Van Bommel played one season for Barca, transformed us from pussies into winners.
Won a CL and La Liga and moved away.
And right after he left, we lost 2 La Ligas and got bullied in a CL by English teams.

I love this explanation.

Now suddenly Messi isn't as good a dribbler as depay aswell? Jeez

Don't bother. Sergei will just rationalize anything to bash Messi.

This is a rather charitable appraisal of events. I think we got fucking battered all over the pitch

 

[ryuken]

Hating on Messi all you want but Depay a better dribbler than him? You lost all argument right there

We coulnd hold the intensity. The legs were dead after 25min of power play while Bayern still looked fresh.

LoL? If Bayern would have been more clinical it would have ended 14:2. Ter Stegen alone saved 3 1v1

We could have scored more than two but Bayern could have scored more than 8.

They are just superior.

I think Memphis could be to Fati what Giuly once was for Messi.

 

[kistedu]

Depay doesn't have quality to play for Barca, personality either.
Hope he want be playing as blaugrana.

Maybe he isnt 2008-2016 Barca level but for current Barca he will be an improvement.

When the 36 years old Chiellini opens his pocket tonight he will find:

- Car key

- purse

- Memphis Depay
