Barcelona

FT

3 : 2

vs

HT 3 : 1

Sampdoria

Messi, who has acquired 5 ballon d'or, apparently doesnt know where the goal is.. after playing for years.. with his body's angle not even on a scoring manner, attempted to score you say?

napoli?

Sorry, i meant sampdoria

Napoli's tika-taka?!?!? :) ;) You mean Sampdoria....If it was Napoli, we wouldn't have watched tika-taka, but hardcore attacks, tough football, and high pace, lots of shots on the goal, and so on...Not that Sampdoria weren't good opponents...far from it! They've represented the Italian football quite well, especially when you come to think about where they finished last year (on the Serie A table)...
That's why if it was Napoli, things would've been pretty different!
Anyways, Great match and awesome goals (by both sides)!

Dimitri, yup i meant sampdoria :)
definitely if it was napoli things would have been different. they're just tough to play against.

Thank you for bringing back the highlights

bro, does barca even lift?

yes Barca does lift
we have seen Barca play crap games and play superb games
good players doesn't always = good quality games

Jesus...How can you say that, when we've all seen them playing 4-3-3, all these years, in the period while they're playing the best football on the planet!

I didnt mean the original 4 4 2 .... its 4 4 2 diamoned its like 4 3 3 but messi will be behined suarez and nymar and behind them mascerano and iniesta and busq.
Its like this nymar .... suarez
..... messi .......
Iniesta ... masc... busq
Alba........ umititi ....... pique...... alex

Just because the team sheet says they play 4-3-3, it doen't mean that they don't switch in the course of a game. Messi often goes centrally, and neymar drifts high so that what they play often resembles a 4-4-2 diamond

@massoudnajeeb Stüpid boy this is not FIFA...4-4-2 diamond...Is there any more of such childish crap I will have to read today? Busquets playing Iniesta's counterpart on the right? This is not even remotely Busquets position. To remind such an aware Barcelona fan like you: Sergio Busquets is a sentinel. His playing style is to drop back deep to help the defence and work as the 3rd defender when the fullbacks are out there to support attacking play from the wider areas. He's arguably the best player in the world at doing that. Moreover, if you analyze Busquets throughout a game, he hardly ever makes more that two touches when on the ball. So why would anyone want to play him as a right mid when you have players like Sergi, Aleix Vidal and Turan that would fit in this position 100x better?

it's called 4 diamond 2

the best football formations for an effective team are 4-3-3, 4,4,2 and 4, diamond, 2.. that is why the premier league has been a piece of shit this past 3 years, because we adapted a fucking stupid 4,5,1 formation..

Sorry, We're not good at "Parking the bus"

what does that have to do with anything???

wth is parking the bus
barca's defence does need to be strengthened

Im a braca fan and yeah barca's defense needs a lot of work. i dont mean only defenders, i mean defense in general

Just for your info @P_PogBa, Parking the bus is when the defenders and most of the team just sit back and defend.....no decent attacking display-a boring game!! Barca played the opposite of that!! They played an interesting game...just need some time to get the defence synchronised!!
