Vesper 30,175 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Ronald Araujo absolutely is not back to his pre injury level not even close he was a top 5 CB on the planet before he shredded his hamstring to bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,175 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 another major issue for Barca, they are so small overall especially with no Ronald Araujo starting and no Lewa (who is hardly a giant, but is super in the air, even at 36yo) the only regualr players they have over 6 feet tall (not counting GKers) are CB Araujo 1.92m (but he doesn't start atm) LB Gerard Martin 1.86m and not a normal starter until Balde got injured, plus he is by far their worst starter Robert Lewandowski 1.85m Ferran Torres (who doesn't start if Lewa is healthy) and Cubarsi are basically 6 feet tall, and starting CB Iñigo Martinez is 5-11 Marc Bernal is 1.91m (DMF) but is out for the year and is only 17yo and doesnt play much AC is 1.87m but he has been out injured most of the entire season, before a cameo tonight he had played one game, 26 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,175 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Lautaro is very likely out for the return leg which really fucks Inter (more than Barca not having Lewa as Inter lack offensive depth) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone said he is bang average and we shouldn't look at players from Championship sides. The same as what is being said for some of our potential transfers now.

He looked like grade A fraud under Xavi, this is why its important to have a top manager, Flick absolutely transformed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klopp was given time at Liverpool, as was Arteta to actually build. I'm not happy with how we're playing at the moment either, but we need some continuity. The reality is, we were playing at a 2nd best in the league level for half a season, with a young team, and new manager. It is there - and I'm at this stage hoping for continuity rather than rash changes. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem everyone has different ideas and visons and we change every season so no time to build..know it worked before but that was then. This is now. End up spending stupid £££ paying people off. Slot is different he came into a ready made squad which was pretty good and just improved on them. Whereas our lot haven't had a decent squad. Be gutting however if we miss 5th CL place and Man U in Europa despite being shite in league and get it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
