killer1257 3,282 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Jordi Alba, until this year (age is catching up) has been a top 2 or 3 LB in the world for years, he has been a crazy weapon for Barca for ages do you even watch the players in other leagues? just looking at stat sheets is not enough at all Yes, I am actually Messi groupie, so I watch Barcelona a lot (Valverde out ^^). I don't rate him at all. He has the luck to have played a very high possession based football. If he played for us in a way better League, he would get exposed all the time.Yes,he is very important for Barcelona style of play and a Key Player in the way Barcelona play, but play him in a average Team and he will get exposed.He is not a great tackler at all and he sometimes lets everything to wide open and in PL that costs Games. Yes, if he played for Man City, he could play his game but City plays more tiki taka than Barcelona right now.I always prefer a Defensive solid FB rather than a Offensive solid FBGesendet von meinem SM-G920F mit Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Since this is 'must not lose' game and we were pretty comfortable defensively against Valencia in the first leg with three at the back I expect the same approach from the beginning. We can change it in the second half if needed. Kepa Azpi Chris Tomori James Kovacic Kante Emerson Willian Abraham Pulisic But maybe Alonso out of the squad suggests we won't play with wing backs. Also I think Giroud is perfect for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhForAGreavsie 6,075 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 The 19s are also in Valencia for a match in their version of the Champions League. We lie third in the table currently so this is a must win fixture. The game is ten minutes old and we've already had a golden chance to go ahead but Billy Gilmour had his early spot kick saved. It wasn't a great effort in all honesty. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhForAGreavsie 6,075 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 And now a keeping error from Carlo Ziger has gifted Valencia a goal and given our lads a big task to tackle. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhForAGreavsie 6,075 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 1-1 in the U19s game away to Valencia now. Henry Lawrence's goal makes the score line a better reflection of the play. We've been the better side so far. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhForAGreavsie 6,075 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Valencia dominated the second half and run out deserved 2-1 winners. The defeat eliminates our U19s from this season's eufa Youth League. The lads did what they could but there isn't the same quality in this group as in previous generations that tackled this competition with a swagger.

Would you say we've had our time in terms of dominating the youth competitions or Is this a transitional period and there's more top players (who are currently 14/15) on the way shortly to put us back on our pearch at that level? Would be a shame as I enjoyed watching us make mincemeat of even the fellow top academy sides, although if that was to make way with the first team being so dominant I guess I could live with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 A better view of the XIs... James at RB. Azpi at LB. Christensen partners Zouma in CB. No Mount again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
