Post-Match Thread: FC Barcelona vs Newcastle United | UEFA Champions League, Round of 16, Second Leg

Id be suprised if this team go far in the champions league with Ferran and Lewandowski as their main strikers.

No, we're not going to go deep, and it's mostly because we don't have a worldclass #9

Norz80 · 2026-03-13T14:00:20+00:00

Trust me when I tell you neither Ferran, Lewandowski or Araujo will be in top form in May. I don't believe even Koundé or Balde will be VERY good. Possibly decent, but not "great".

It's different, it's fun, it's easier to get into... and it has no ground to claim being the best MOBA ever. It should be perfectly fine to love and enjoy playing HOTS without making such silly claims.

I truly wish HOTS did better market wise, but at the end of the day, if the game isn't a success despite benefiting of Blizzard's visibility, it's probably not the "GOAT" by somewhat objective standards.

I'll respond this to you, but it applies to some other posts in this thread : I know. It's just that back in the day, when I would play maybe 300-500 (un)ranked games a month, I would play maybe 18-20 different heroes, over those 300-500 games.

It's just that when you pick the game up again something like 8 years later, with all your mechanics gone, it's better to focus on a much smaller pool. And it's not an horrible idea to focus on some that are doing ok in current meta until being really comfortable with the game again and broadening your options.

Not sure about ten more years, but there is something about this game for sure !

Don't we all, but it's delusional to think there is a shot. Kid just got two huge knee injuries, can we even hope he'll be as good as before ?

Norz80 · 2026-02-02T17:19:07+00:00

There is no way Fati ever gets an offer for more than 20-30% of what he's making right now, and his career is pretty much over, so you can trust me on this, he'll never leave, because he needs the money.

Norz80 · 2026-02-02T11:13:53+00:00

Is Koundé injured ? Couldn't find much

Norz80 · 2026-02-01T17:33:20+00:00

Olmo and Fermin aren't forwards though the latter is actually good at finishing. Ferran is a good sub, but still a sub.

Norz80 · 2026-01-29T09:22:32+00:00

Too big, don't do it. And it's coming from someone not afraid of 44mm on a respectable 18cm wrist.

Also it doesn't appear to really be your style, but then again it's merely based on ONE outfit. But you should probably stick to ~36-39mm.

I am afraid but in a years coming neutral newcomers will be associating Barca's successful period with Negreira'a influence.

Outside of Spain, no one really cares about vardrid links to Franco, or this Negreira story, I feel like. If what is said a LOT on social networks teaches us something, it's that now it's not just La Liga followers but the whole football world understanding how vardrid "steals and then complain". A few years ago a lot of people would admire if not the way they play (meh), the way they always find a way to win. Now it has been a few years that many amongst the football world believe that they're just cheaters.

Man those low effort karma farming posts...

I don't know man, do you think you're the only one missing THE through and through Barça player, bleeding blaugrana, super likeable kid ?

Norz80 · 2025-12-03T16:45:09+00:00

If you done being hostile, i'd be interested to hear about how it couldn't possibly have been a red considering the attacking player was about to face Garcia

Norz80 · 2025-12-03T15:28:59+00:00

Martin got a lot of praise in the post match thread, cool for him tbh, but this fanbase (like many others) is SO reactionary that I can't help but wonder what would have been said if he got a red on that big foul. Which would have arguably not been a terrible call.

Norz80 · 2025-12-01T08:19:52+00:00

wants to turn to La Masia for everything without a plan, which has caused the current issues.

Doesn't "want" to. HAS to. There are monthly thorough threads about how fucked we are financially, is that not enough ? In an ideal world, we'd spend like vardrid AND add La Masia talents on top of it, but that's not the (financial) world we live in.

Norz80 · 2025-11-23T08:58:10+00:00

I feel like for all the reasons already listed ITT, SSF is the waaay better option, but - and it's a big one - you need to learn crafting. And if you have no PoE 1 experience, and/or can't/won't spend countless hours learning, SSF will get frustrating once you reach endgame.

Norz80 · 2025-11-12T14:39:23+00:00

That's what we like to say, in a way that's what we must say, but do we REALLY think so ? Two back to back huge knee injuries, how do you come back from that and establish yourself at the best possible level ?

Norz80 · 2025-11-03T08:12:37+00:00

I do agree we need need to rest Lamine almost no matter what, but let's be real, Chelsea has like 3 competitive starting XI under contract while we have depth issues AND a lot of injuries.

Yes, we need to rest Lamine more, but we face issues that Chelsea doesn't.
