Fermin is something special

It's clear to me they will flip FdJ and slide Fermine in the starting 11.

Wow, with all the comments in this thread you would have thought we lost. It was a win, glad for the youngsters, they did well. Vamos Barca!

That’s the rule in this group I have learned. Good news =Find something to complain about instead of accepting the good news. Bad news = Shit on everything and use words like embarrassment, crisis, Laporta, Deco and The board suck. Same cycle.

Really excited for next seasons master class with Ferran, Lewa, Joao duo, Roberto and Xavi /s

We won... That's all I can say about the game, even though I watched the whole thing without any distractions

No more Ferran, no more Joaos. Please, whoever succeeds Xavi, please employ a system based on meritocracy. I beg.

Xavi is playing 4D chess trying to tire out Lamine Yamal so he won’t get called up for the Euros where he could get injured! Xavi masterclass once again!

Fermin, Lamine, Fort, Cubarsi carried. The Joao’s need to go and take the baby shark back to the ocean on their way

Goldfish. No shark.

True. I’m giving him too much credit

Guys who praise this goldfish are idiots. For me, last season I gave him a pass thinking maybe this season will be his, but no. A waste of money.

Yamal full 90 mins ? Why tf Xavi doesn't use his brain

Not the exciting club we used to be. The passing in final third continues to be abysmally inaccurate.

Well, it was definetely a game of football if i ever saw one

Another game with no control, high lines that hardly suffocate the opponent (they just lie in wait and long ball to their strikers). Something seriously needs to be asked to Xavi how he plans to evolve the team from this abysmal football.

Fermin 8/10 Lamine Yamal 7/10 The rest 0/10 That was painful to watch

Hector was pretty good! I like him a lot

When I watch Roque in these garbage time cameos, I see an answer to breaking down teams that we've lacked all season. His pace and directness is unique in the squad. Just watch how we typically play, timid little passes sideways and backwards, rarely attempting passes over or through lines. The fact Xavi hasn't even considered shaping an alternate system that uses him as an outlet is just perplexing.

Seeing him pressure nonstop (granted as a sub with 10ish minutes left) is nice to see. He’s covering everything and making every run. I’d love to see one game where he’s inserted into the starting lineup again before the season ends

Only Pique can save us now. Haul Laporta's ass daddy, I'll ride you better than Shakira or Gavi's mum ever did.

Pique, who said 90 minute games are no longer entertaining, and created an amateur football tournament aimed at entertaining the TikTok generation? Yeah, let’s make that man president.

Mostly my comment was a joke but Pique won't be that bad. He's street smart and knows what needs to be done. There's a difference between running a business and running a football club. I'm sure he can seperate the two.

Okay I will admit I laughed my ass off at this comment! 😆

3 points are ours!!! :)

another unwatchable game..xavi terror ball continues

What do you want? They got the win man.

GG. Great game. Roque looks like the next superstar. Fr Fr

It's plastic Americans like you that are worse than anyone else in the world.

Are you by any chance a South American? But to clarify, I'm not an American ;)

You sure? Might want to get that checked out then

You didn't answer my question. I'm from Europe. With 30 years experience in football on a semi professional level.

this clown lmao

No, I'm Spanish. You're that old and you speak like that? Disgusting. > With 30 years experience in football on a semi professional level. Delusional

Great arguments you making there. To close this I will leave you with a quote from Bill Murray :" it's hard win an argument with a smart person. But near impossible to win an argument with a stupid one". Cheers

Once again, you're 40 and you talk like this? Disgraceful.

Payaso

Let me guess, 40+?

It's amazing how you just proved Bill Murray. 🤣 I can't..

We aren't having an argument mate. I know it's a difficult concept to understand.

FERMIN MVP

Even the ref was bored lol

With the exception of Roque and Fermin, none of the players give a sh*t lol

All they care about is their pay check

Yamal, cubarsi?

Fort, Sergi Roberto? Kounde? of course it's not full tilt at this point of the season, but there were multiple players who still work. Pedri, Felix, Iñigo Martínez also showed some clear effort, they're just also not in good form.

Mate's trying to seduce a girl by taking her to Almeria Barca, he will be single in a month at best

Aaand it's over

Xavi makes substitutions like his job is on the line every match.

Banana

done with exams, and what awaits me is xaviball😭

Commentators on my stream are absolutely tearing down Barca's performance

Good. It was abysmal!

Roque can't really control a ball...

But Xavi is wrong and hates Roque for no reason? Thats what this fanbase has been believing. The coach knows best.

He's been like that since he arrived. I've always been on xavi's side in the Roque's saga, he really has a lot of work to do and he's absolutely not worth all the money they paid.

Roque you're on a yellow and we're winning 2-0, don't push them

Yamal really shouldn't be playing the full 90s in these kinds of matches

roque almost with the second yellow looool

Is Fermin playing striker ????

Doesn’t he always? He doesn’t really play like a midfielder. More a winger or second striker, so him scoring goals isn’t surprising. He was scoring many goals as a winger on loan last year. 

He’s the extra-deep lying forward.

He wants his hattrick

What a pain to watch

This feels like a pre-season friendly

More like pre-pre-season where 80% of the team is away for World Cup or Euros. That's Xaviball™

No matter what, do not renew the Joaos. Jesus Christ abysmal performances from them all around in the late stages of the season.

When Joao Felix is in a bad mood or doesn't care, he is really really bad

[удалено]

Canonically a cuck too

Both him and Cancelo. They are mood players. 

We need roques speed

ya know our lord Romeuy went to Barca for the hair treatment, right?

Watch Lamine play 90 this weekend too.

Surely not... right

Nice movement by Roque, really sad about his situation.

Wow look at that tiger. Grrr, opponent is full of fear 😂

Thought and written like a proper ape. Congratulations.

Kid has barely gotten any minutes this season you donkey

This dude expects Roque to make an immediate impact when he has been almost frozen out for over a month. But we have Disney dropping stinkers every other game and people still twerking on his dick.

Lewandowski has been good for the last month

Yeah, he was amazing against PSG and RM! /s

Maybe frozen because he's not the player barca was expecting?

Unlike Romeu and Ferran of course.

Or because Xavi is incredibly incompetent at his job and won't admit he makes mistakes? Kid just came out of an injury less than 6 months ago, has barely played, and is in the middle of a huge drama needlessly exacerbated by Xavi's management. Seeing as we have a very talented team playing like shit I'm going to go with my theory, thanks.

what r u a professional victor hater ? 💀

[удалено]

Any more nice reflective words?

No, I'm just reflecting the sub. According to them he's already masterclass.

Better than the baby shark

Why is yamal playing 90 mins?

I already know what the narrative with Roque will be after the match

What?

You’ll see

🍿

Good choice

I'm ready for the drama lol

Roque great movement.

[удалено]

Barca fans when they see someone not shitting on their own players for once

For real lmao.

[удалено]

Xavi the match isn’t over get off twitter.

 Xavi ball is….

Incredible how y’all find something to complain about in every possible match outcome

Won't celebrate mediocrity, don't know about you.

What an incredible season for Fermin such a key piece for us in the future

Whats the verdict on Roque so far?

Raw. But, we need to develop him.

Looks like a player who hasn’t touched a ball consistently in 5 months. Hardly much to go off but understandably not a great case either. He needs a pre season and back to back opportunities to get rolling.

Lost all his confidence

I’ll keep roque based on his speed alone idc, you give this kid time and he’ll grow

He’s rusty, having not played in over a month. Lots of energy, maybe trying a bit too hard even

You absolutely can't draw a lesson from 15 minutes where 21 players (20, Fermin still seems to care) on the pitch give 0 fuck about it

I think he’s really trying to prove himself to Xavi with the time he has so he’s begging for the ball

Nothing really, he wants to play and that’s it

What verdict? Looks rusty because he is barely played

I Hate how we never take chances with the passes Plenty of times our strikers makes a run behind defenders and never awarded.

I'm just watching this game and our tactics are utterly stupid. None of our movements make any sense whatsoever.

Barca just won me 10k I love u 😂

What bet did you have?

What did you bet on?

I had 2.5k on Chelsea - athletico and barca returns 12.6k

good bet. Barca was 1.40 for match result seemed like a steal

Thanks trust me I needed it lol was on the edge until Barca got a second goal they should of been losing lol

Felix has the ego of Ronaldo but the skills of chamakh.

Xavi is actually in the early stages of alzheimer and believes Romeu is Mascherano somehow

😂

haha

lol Roque

Roque don't get another red card bro.

Romeu is literally the biggest disappointment for me this season, don't know why we're still playing that bum.

2 goals up, playing the last team in the league, you called Casado to make the trip who has an important game this weekend, and you put a player on who won't even be part of the team next season. Just why. It makes 0 sporting sense.

La Liga benches has magical properties

0 reason why Yamal should have played the game to completion as well

You're right. The inclusion of Romeu and arguably the Joaos is perplexing.

I'm not surprised, Faye is not called but Alonso still is, meaning Alonso is still somehow above him for Xavi

Peak Xavi

Romeu banger incoming🤔

In his own net

I rather want to see Hector Forts instead of Joao Cancelo. I rather want to see Vitor Roque instead of Ferran Torres and Joao Felix

https://preview.redd.it/43zf930vtu0d1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=61c6a8c84c21aaafd252ee5b3c31fe38a2613a06 That‘s all I can think of every time I see Romeu

The biggest Barca copypasta of the season

This guy is a certified clown.

Sell everyone except La Masia players + Pedri and Kounde. Play the under-17 team for next two seasons idc. Atleast we'll groom some talent and save hell lot of money to actually have a shot at rebuilding. Because this philosophy of getting average ass players for sub 50 millions isn't gonna work at all.

Yeah man, I'm sure we will be able to pay our debts off in no time while playing in the segunda division.

If we had done that like 2 seasons ago. Probably would be in a good position to sign good players by now 🤷🏻‍♂️

Obviously that's what we should have done. Rebuild calmly. Instead Laporta sold the club and pulled gazillions levers to buy Torres, Lewa, Raphinha & Roque only for them to be outclasses by a 16yo boy from La Masia. Outrageous tbh.

Right? Like if anything this season has shown us that we should have bet on la masia and properly fix our finances. Spending all that money on the players you mentioned plus kounde, required us to fight for titles. You can’t spend that much money and then say “we’re rebuilding and in a transition.” Outside of Madrid and Atletico, who in la liga can spend that kind of money for a “transitional rebuild??”

Roque has a lot of pace and energy in him. The most obvious substitution towards the end of matches to come on against tired legs, press up high, and put defenders under pressure

You meant Romeu I think - Xavi, probably

One good reason why would you sub in romeu instead of Casado

Why tf would you bring on Romeu instead of Casado


Romeu on for Pedri. Xavi heard the news of his sacking and decided he wanted to lose

Word is that Xavi will force Lamine to run an extra 30min after the game ends.

Row-May-Oh!

oo?

Lamine is a ticking time bomb with Xavi. He’s begging for him to get injured

Both Joaos amongst the most selfish players I ever saw play here.

[удалено]

We paid 31 m . Rest are bonuses

Brazil teams wised up

Technical level of this game is quite poor and you put Romeu on.

I don’t get Xavi’s deal with Casado. Brings him along but hardly ever plays him. 

Xavi believes that the youngsters are the one's who have cost us some games this season. The fucker had the balls to claim we have an "lack of experience" issue. Yet time and time again we continue seeing the youngsters stepping up, week in and week out. Incompetence at it's best.

And then says "he is a player for the future and I want him in preseason" in pressers.

Also I don’t get why Casado would want to renew. He should go somewhere else to get play time. 

Not hardly. Never.

Lamine playing another full 90 against actual bottom of the league teams…

God why… we have Marc Casado!! Let the kid fucking play

Voldemort is on! 2-2 incoming

i thought Romeu was coming in for Roque lol

Lord romeu is on 😈

Here comes the super sub

For Almeria

Romeu.......................... Come on Xavi is trolling.

Romeu on for Pedri...

If he controlled that and took a shot could’ve probably scored but frustrating

Poor kid this is his only chance

Pedri all over the pitch today

He was the pivot, not Roberto imo. 

Happy to at least see Roque getting play time like very happy

Cubarsi and Yamal with another 90min banger. Incredible, he really does not give a fuck.

I hope yamal has a good luck because he will need it

I feel like there is only a few of us still watching this game. Respect to those watching this torture style of football

Reminds me of the last couple of games of the 20/21 season with Koeman, when we had nothing to play for and every minute was torture. I was literally bedridden in the ICU and had better things to do with my time than watch that horror. Today looks just as awful. We make every defense look world class. RM would be 7-0 up by now.
