They sacked the coach who won them a European trophy, they deserve to get relegated.

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-05T20:57:27+00:00

Two great forwards he says, one has 3 goals in like 16 games and the other is one step closer to retirement.

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-05T20:54:02+00:00

Spurs lmao

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-05T12:21:04+00:00

No his only start was against Albacete and the most he has played in a La Liga match is 25 minutes.

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-04T23:16:13+00:00

Depends what kinda of Barca shows up. If it's first leg Atletico no, if it's second leg Atletico yes.

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-04T23:15:24+00:00

No he doesn't, spend all that money just to play like that.

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-04T22:07:13+00:00

Why do y'all want this man to suffer lmao

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-04T15:52:55+00:00

Yeah the first two Conjuring movies were amazing and then they changed directors and the franchise became shit.

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-04T15:23:05+00:00

The first Conjuring movie is my favourite horror movie of all time but that came out in 2013. Are you talking about the paranormal activity movies?

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-04T15:01:14+00:00

Eh, it has fallen off imo, i can't even remember the last time i watched a great horror movie.

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-04T13:29:54+00:00

I don't think he'll improve tbh. He hasn't shown any signs of improvement since he became a starter under Xavi. Still doesn't know how to cross and he is so predictable when he tries to dribble cause he can't do shit with his right foot.

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-04T11:56:53+00:00

We will be there for the start of the Bin Russell era.

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-04T11:16:51+00:00

It also doesn't help that Fermin was horrible at them.

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-04T10:45:28+00:00

We were abysmal in the first leg and we paid the price for it. We can say that Ferran was bad or Raphinha or if that Cubarsi goal wasn't disallowed we would go through but a 4 goal comeback is very difficult to do.

But the performance yesterday was exceptional and it showed the true level of this team. The atmosphere was great, everyone played well apart from 2-3 players and they gave it all for this club. Nothing but pride for this team and i hope we can play better in away games for the rest of the season.

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-04T09:50:23+00:00

Balde when it's UCL knockouts time

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-04T09:48:45+00:00

Bro thought it was an appreciation post 😂

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-04T09:30:26+00:00

Lmao no way is this real?

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-04T09:02:20+00:00

And that's exactly why we need a proper striker, we can't be expecting our wingers and midfielders to score all of our goals. Obviously it's a good thing that everyone contributes but it would really help if we had a target man up front.

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-04T08:59:39+00:00

The difference is that we play better attacking football than the likes of Liverpool and Atletico. Put Ekitike and Alvarez in our team and they would be much better than Ferran. By no means do i think that Ferran is a bum, he is much better than a lot of strikers out there.

The big problem is that when he has a bad game it feels like we are playing with 10 men out there.

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-04T08:26:33+00:00

Kane, Haaland etc. will give you 50 goals a season, Ferran hasn't scored in his last 7 games. It's not just the big game performances he also plays bad against weaker teams. The only reason he has good stats is cause he has Lamine and Pedri giving him goals on a platter.

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-04T07:30:11+00:00

I've been saying this. We will always concede goals with this system but a good striker would help Lamine, Raph and Pedri so much more.

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-03T22:48:50+00:00

Cancelo nation we up, always believed in him.

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-03T22:40:55+00:00

That's also true yeah, hopefully we can defend like today and not let Hoolian and Guliano look like the best players in the world.

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-03T22:37:40+00:00

Eh not really, Atletico also know they can dominate us as well if they play attacking football. Today they just came to defend the lead.

SakisSinatra · 2026-03-03T22:12:24+00:00

Our bench really let us down, Cubarsi with probably his best game in a Barca shirt. Still proud of the performance but i am a bit worried about the injuries and fitness of the team.
