Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

[TobiOT]

Forgot De Jong was on the pitch.

 

[Majestic]

is messi even playing?

 

[Mané Swagincha]

5 goals and no stoppage time, this ref is takin the piss

 

[Pseudo]

neymar needs them and they need neymar, no wonder messi was asking for him a few years ago

They need a damn midfield. They haven't had one since 2011 and have been depending on Messi for creativity since then.

I can't remember the last time Barca controlled a game against top opposition.

 

[blues_funk_reggae]

Barca has a whole generation of wonderkids coming up through La Masia, right brehs?

 

[TobiOT]

No stoppage time

 

[BobbyBooshay]

Dembele
Messi
Umtiti
De Jong
Semedo
Fati

These should be considered the only untouchables. They should slowly get rid of the rest.

Madrid’s transfers have been far better than Barca’s over the last number of years. They’ve bought so many young talented players (Vinicius, Rodrygo, Odergaard, Kubo, Valverde, Miltao, Mendy, Reinier) not being able to sign somebody cause of COVID is probably a blessing in disguise. This upcoming season they’ll further their development and be more involved. In contrast Barca just have Dembele, De Jong & Fati

Hmmm dunno about Dembele tbh, but then again injury fukked him

Griezman hasn't worked

 

[Mané Swagincha]

It should've been clear after how Roma and Liverpool disgraced them, but nobody can deny it now. Destroy and rebuild.

Barce need wingers to take the load out of midfield, if they get Neymar and get rid of Suarez and Griezman they can be contenders again

 

[NSSVO]

This is a great day

 

[Majestic]

Barca better not renew that Suarez contract. He's done

is it expiring this summer. they going to have to cuz they aint got money to by players. shyt, they may have to bring coutinho back and they hate that muhfukka

 

[ThrobbingHood]

4-1 Bayern... if they’re at least merciful. This Barca team is beyond trash.

Saw this coming a mile away.

Leave Griezeman on the bench brehs.

Play a high line against Bayern brehs.

Play pretty much 4-4-2 brehs.

Wake me up when it’s City Vs Lyon.

 

[The Guru]

I expected a spanking, i didn't expect a mollywhopping in the first half

 

[Ukbrotha]

And Barca's players are on insane wages apparently. Going to be very tough shifting players they dont want.

Also when are we going to start filing paperwork for Busquets?

 

[Jean toomer]

It’s official. They’re flabby and sick.

Dembele is still young and when he’s played he’s direct and dangerous. He’s showed promise especially in his 2nd season. Yes he’s had injury problems but he’s only 23, I wouldn’t give up on him so fast. We’ve seen players go from injury prone to reliable
