Why do you think Lucho is trying Gomes as RB over and over regardless of him failing repeatedly ? he is preparing him to play as RB in the copa final since Roberto is suspended , god help us all ...
Well this mediocre goalie needs to stop making this stupid mistakes. He gifted Betis a goal and Celta and Deportivo. All games Barca lost points!!
I have one ready but was planning on posting it after next week's Copa final, when the season officially ends.
Thats his job to save not to make blunders. Saving a few games doesn't justify making blunders which causes Barca to lose points. Bravo in general didn't make this many mistakes in Barca. I believe apart from Lucho that MATS has been inconsistent and his mistakes in 3-4 games that Barca has lost point has caused LPB winning the Liga with just 3p. He can directly take blame if you want to be blunt. Stop taking his side so blindly!! He´s clumpsy and makes to many mistakes in critical situations. Also in those games you say he saved Barca´s ass that no other keeper would not have saved also, MATS is not unique. But I can say that not many keepers would make those stupid mistakes MATS does. Did you see the saves Eibar keeper did tonight? Probably more spectacular than MATS. Look at Navas and LPB.. he has made more decisive saves than MATS and less idiotic blunders this season so you can say he won LPB the title. Stop blindly defending MATS as he is the one and only keeper that can make a save.
Again I'm not in favor of blaming one or two players. Many average players in this unbalanced Barcelona team and the only reason why this team can still compete with Real and reached QF UCL is because of Messi. Take Messi out and this team will end up below Real Sociedad on Liga table. Real team is young and full of talents. They will compete for many years to come. I would argue they are even more successful since Enrique took over if they win the UCL final. All I have to say is thank you Lucho for 2014/15 season. I'm looking forward to the board reaction this summer.
Boards hands are tied financially. Barça will be second team for a few years until reality catches up with LPB. It's amazing how they don't get banned from doing transfers or keep buying players for insane amounts every year.. The fifa financial fair play is a joke or Perez knows how to tweak numbers too.
The Vinicius Jr. deal is supposedly done. That's 45m for an unproven 16 year old which is pretty crazy. And they will try to "break the bank" for Mbappe. If they get Mbappe, Isco stays, get rid of Bale, and Barca doesn't make some serious strengthening, I think it could get ugly next season. Also expect Messi and Neymar to take their foot off the gas as the WC is coming up. Neymar will be hungry for the WC for obvious reasons and Messi as well (it probably being his last decent chance). That's why getting this title this season would have been nice because I think next season might really suck.
AFAIK Barca's debt has been decreasing which is a good thing. They do need to do better business when selling players.
Lucho won 8 titles in 3 years span (possibly 9 with upcoming CDR) , that 8 titles includes CL, 2 la liga, 2 CDR, and people seems to forget previous 2 season achievement despite of this.... http://www.givemesport.com/1059131-...al&utm_campaign=Tribute-Pages-laika-III-1sted
Thats alright,he can use some physicality and height. This is one of the useful positions where he can play.
Yeah! Well done! But he didn't rebuild or strengthen the squad and three years later it's on the decline. 3 titles became 2 and now a shitty CDR only (maybe). He spent lots of money and leaving the club/team very fragile. Defense and midfield is weak and it's not looking good while LPB look as strong as ever with two quite strong XI . So we will see what Lucho legacy will be, nine titles and end of an era? We'll see what the board does over summer and who comes in but with no money to spend its looking dim. Also can we expect MSN to have another great year while the defense rises? We'll see but Im not optimistic. I'd bring every player on loan back and hope the next coach can pull a Conte, Simeone, Sir Alex and get mediocre players to perform 200%.
Yes that's always good but it's going to be used to rebuild the stadium it won't be showing results on the pitch. So a fresh stadium to see Barca fight for CL spot is not what I want to see to be honest. Sadly the financial rules don't apply for LPB. It's a corrupt system and Barça hands are tied. What Barca needs is a smarter management that can harvest rather that burn the crops. Bart looks like a retarded hamster who was dropped way too many times. Barça needs to quickly get back on the horse. Break the bank, break the short time trend and take back the reigns from LPB. People thought I was over exaggerating a while a when saying I see no continuity or back up plans and voila, everything I feared is coming true. Immediate action! But smart action is needed or Zidane will make Pep achievements look mediocre.
Damn, so many lurkers! You'd think Madrid/CR7 fanboys would have better things to do in the 24 hours after the quinquennial event of Madrid/CR7 winning a league title. Guess not(?).
Funny thing is that the Neymar one was a PK. I caught it on one of the replays on TV. These videos being passed around don't show it. Bunch of sheep.
Yeah it looked like a pk in real time. The replays failed at the one thing they're supposed to do. Also the first Eibar goal had a suspicion of being offside. If people are going to point-out incidents that *could* have been called another way, they should at least be consistent.
I had to slow down one of the replays to see it, but the contact was there and it wasn't a slight contact either. His knee hit Neymar's leg in the slide.
Come on lol you argued so many times that Suarez dived in the PSG match although the reply showed multiple contacts knee/leg and arm/shoulder while you don't think Neymar dived yesterday? not even slightly?
There was definitely more contact than on Suarez. The upper body contact on Suarez did nothing to stop his movement. It's like saying that touch knocked down Ronaldo last season on that infamous dive he made. I do think Neymar could have probably stayed up, but the replay I saw showed some knee to leg contact. It's not a great angle, but you can see Neymar's leg twisting when it's hit. I have no problems calling out Neymar for blatant dives he has done. Trust me, it has nothing to do with nationality.
I can't find the replay from the other angle, but the replay at 3:55, as the Eibar defender slides with his right leg, his knee hits the side of Neymar's upper shin. You can tell from the opposite angle replay that was shown on TV.
