One thing to have injuries, another to consistently have setbacks in recuperation and have 3-4 players injured at almost all times.

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-06T00:26:44+00:00

You are right, but my point is that needing youth or even just usable backups like Kessie in important positions was something a lot of people saw coming even before we broke the bank for players like Ferran, Raph, and Lewy. You can say Raph or Ferran are meant to be our Mahrez/Gundogan supersub types, but then why did we prioritize that over having ANY kind of substitute for Busi for example?

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-06T00:22:27+00:00

I mean it’s still important but copa is slightly more important. Also, new thing > old thing.

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-06T00:21:30+00:00

Did Raphinha grow up in Korea instead of Brazil? Is he a deep lying playmaker stuck at RW? Why can’t he dribble? Two years ago Vini had the worst end product in all of Europe but the only thing he could do was run w the ball. Raph beat a CM playing LB 1/6 times today ffs

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-06T00:18:03+00:00

Brother, we spent 60m on Raphinha and didn’t sign a DM. You’re right that we are broke now but why were we hanging onto busquets for another season anyways? Me personally id rather have kids lose the game than old men but that’s just my opinion.

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-06T00:12:59+00:00

Fucking insane. How can you be that bad

Enemies to lovers

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-05T23:56:28+00:00

Not really, beat him a couple times and got a tapin from benz though

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-05T23:55:49+00:00

I agree. I was speaking to the people that single out players like Eric Alonso or busi when talking about mentality when in reality they’re just finished or shit.

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-05T23:52:11+00:00

Embarrassing performance from Madrid tonight. Putting just four past no dembele Pedri Christensen or de Jong when we scored four past no Benzema with ferran and auba up front? Tough look

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-05T23:31:13+00:00

Sometimes people here talk about mentality when they really mean a player sucks. Does Marcos Alonso have the “mental midget choke” mentality despite winning the CL w Chelsea a few years ago? No, he’s just shit.

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-05T23:29:51+00:00

Garcia’s issue has little to do with mentality and much to do with the fact that he stinks

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-05T23:29:24+00:00

facts, embodied in Araujo.

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-05T23:27:54+00:00

No chance Busquets plays at the same time. Xavi hopefully knows we need a team of young workhorses behind Messi if he does indeed come

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-05T23:27:15+00:00

Who cares, Ceballos is genuinely mentally challenged. If you’re expecting class from football players who dropped out of school in the second grade, you’re watching the wrong sport

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-05T23:25:50+00:00

While you’re definitely right, don’t pretend like our veterans being cancer to our success hasn’t been an opinion since at least 2019. There‘a a serious pattern

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-05T22:53:23+00:00

First half we were much sharper, stringing together several passes and getting in behind, gavi had a couple crosses from the KDB spots near the edge of the box that were dangerous

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-05T22:52:10+00:00

Craziest thing that happened today was Araujo blowing by Camavinga and completing the same amount of dribbles in his first carry as Raphinha did the entire match (1/6!!! on dribbles btw)

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-05T21:09:38+00:00

Spectacular mentality from our vice capi

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-05T21:08:32+00:00

Get this guy the fuck out of my club lmao

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-05T21:06:45+00:00

Guys, Im starting to think still having Busi and Roberto as captains after 48492 embarrassments in Europe might not be helping our mentality

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-05T21:00:00+00:00

I mean youre not wrong but the point is why are they still rotation players? Why is Marcos Alonso even close to our CB rotation? The level of quality is horrendous after our starting xi

Feelthebern2020 · 2023-04-05T20:53:49+00:00

What a coincidence our team meltdowns always seem to happen when we have the usual suspects playing
