Barca have such a p*s*y of a keeper who doesn't run ahead and collect set pieces. Get rid.

Might become a honorary PSG follower. They already have the nicest kits and tracksuits going with them Jordan collaborations :drool:

now they have Poch and looking right :drool:
feck that. Their Jordan thing sums up everything about that club. Hollow.

Happy to see Kean doing well for himself, after those bizarre comments from Souness and the even weirder treatment from Duncan Ferguson.
Same. I hated the way they treated him at Everton and this is a perfect fate

What did Sounness say?

Barca should use Messi against small teams and rest him in the big games.

34 years old pique and lenglet are the same pair as Maguire and Lindelof. :lol:
To be fair he deserves some credit for still playing at this level, neither Rio nor Vida were exactly pretty in their twilight years. Its the clubs fault for failing to replace them properly

Barcelona need a serious big rebuild like what Milan is having. They can't afford the wages they spend on everyone, so they need to cut it down to a level they can actually afford first, and accept they're going to be shit for a few years if they want to survive as a football club. The wages and fees they're spending is unsustainable as they're seeing now, but also they aren't getting the performance anymore as Messi is 33/34.

Loch showing Ole exactly what to do when a player is on the edge of a red card.

Still sick over the PSG and Red Bull games.

It was such a throw by Ole and the players. Nearly every decision was wrong and overthought. Absolute madness.

and this performance is just a teaser. we’re doing this without our best player. When Ney returns we’re def grabbing the CL, and under a club legend like Poch will be even sweeter. Ici c’est Paris :drool:

Just shows what having ageing players in your team can do, this is why we have to make the best of our players now in their primes and not wait 3-4 seasons.

Ole deserves blame but let ua not forget martial missing an open goal. It was shocking that we didn't win the game when we should have.

How is that not a pen for Mbappe and PSG if the other one was a pen on De Jong. This was worse than the De Jong foul.

The single goal they've scored came about because of his half-way line long pass and the only other good chance came about because Messi dribbled and slipped it into Dembele in space at the penalty box but he messed up the shot.

Messi's literally the only player who has scored or created anything for them.

Given how awful he's been today, even Umtiti would have done better.
No, no he wouldn't have. Pique's leadership is the only reason your defence has been poor instead of falling apart

Is it confirmed that the return match will be at Anfield?
If I'm not mistaken Leipzig would have to go 2 weeks into quarantine, if playing a game in England under the current corona regulations in Germany.

Still the manager failed to manage two games costing us both at the end of the day.

You know this overrated manager knocked us out right ?
Dumped us out.
We demolished them 5-0 at home, then we absolutely dominated the away leg too but our players bottled it.
Losing to Istanbul is what knocked us out.
Liverpool are in terrible form at the minute yet will probably end up beating Leipzig buy a cricket score on aggregate.

It's literally a constant for this Barca team to either concede from a set piece or a defensive blunder. Literally every week. It's like they are actively trying to concede goals.

It just gives a comfort feeling when we realize there are worse run clubs than us and Barca is one of them.

They're to blame for not investing in a quality CB for years. The team has been crying out for one for an eternity now.

We didn't dominate the away leg. They were much better than us and we only got to control the ball during last part of second half. After we scored our second goal and made it 2-3, we did absolutely nothing of note to score the equalizer.

All this talk about Nagelsmann and the Leipzig CB's.
There defence is a shambles and Nagelsman seems to have one plan of playing with a suicidal high line no matter the opposition.
Overrated Manager
Such an ignorant post
