Bate player, Filippe described
this Barca team as made of outer space creatures and definitely Barcelona produced a display to honour that compliment.

If we leave the theory to one side and focus on the present, we see Messi's effect on the current
Barca team as a mammoth - like one.
The answer to the problem was simply the x-factor that is Lionel Messi, ceased to exist in an all - conquering
Barca team.
The tie was delicately poised at 1 - 1 after a first leg in which Celta played extremely well against, admittedly, an under - strength
Barca team but Ernesto Valverde recalled the likes of Jordi Alba, Andres Iniesta, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi for the return match and the Catalans blitzed their opponents with an utterly dominant first - half display.
So after Suarez was brought straight into
the Barca team for yesterday's El Clasico clash with Real Madrid at the expense of him, Pedro has made it clear to his Barca bosses that he wants to leave.
i whilst I agree that Cryuff laid the foundation for the modern
Barca team attempting to erase PG's influence in the club latter day success is spiteful for want of a better word....
Messi seems to imply that he and the whole
Barca team was fitter this year so if we can replicate that let's do it.
Why would we consider two players that can't even get into
the Barca team if we want to be competing with the likes of Barca.
but he has already given so much to
Barca team whatever decision he makes, I accept.
In turn, that coupled with the experience that he has attained and the style of play adopted by
his Barca team, he could be a sensible appointment for Arsenal ahead of next season.
The 7 of them should start the FA Cup replay at Hull to see before the Boss selects
the Barca team.
I am not saying
this barca team can not make passes or keep possession, just than they are nowhere near as good as the old side at it.
The current
Barca team has more pace with Suarez and Neymar and are even more deadly following transition.
He's currently playing in 2nd or 3rd division for
Barca team.
Enrique got more points per game than Pep, Enriques
Barca team scored more per game than Peps, to dismiss his achievements because Barca... Barca had a couple managers between Pep and Enrique and they wasn't winning the UCL, Pep won it then next Barca manager to win it was Enrique.
Even the great
Barca team had Seydou Keita who was not as talented as Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets.
Even d famed Guardiola suffered defeat at d hands of a 10 - man Chelsea in 2012, at his own backyard wt
a barca team dt had Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Fabregas etc..
They are not the best
barca team who has ever played the game.
Further, the Italian believes he has seen a weakness in
the Barca team and that Chelsea can damage them when the Blues have the ball.
Both Mert and Giroud are way too slow to bother either end of
the Barca team.
Pep Guardiola is a very good coach, otherwise he was not gonna be given to take charge
the Barca team, when he came to Barcelona he changed almost the entire team, he changed the way they play and he won 14 cups including a Champions L in 4 years.
However when we play Man City, Utd, Chelsea Bayern or
Barca the team freezes and capitulates and the Ramseys and Podolski's disappear.
Some1 just said pep can't build a team, he built this present
barca team by disposing the likes of dinho, deco and odas and he built his own team majorly from their B team and some reserve players... he knew wot he wanted to do and he did exactly dat... and so they won the treble dat season...
He MADE the best
Barca team in history, and this Bayern team has obliterated Germany setting records along the way.
Getting Fabregas in 2014/15 was dependent on him failing to nail a starting spot in
the Barca team in 2013/14 season.
People have been saying a lot that
this Barca team is bad and worse than peps team.
A front 3 of welbeck on the left, Giroud and walcot or chamberlain on the right would have caused more problems for
the Barca team.
@rkw Though Barca was a good match to watch, they did it against a 10 man Valencia in freefall, in a 3 team league... Would that same
Barca team be killin it week in and week out in the BPL?
we all knew this result were coming a draw last night and a 3 - 0 loss at barca would have been worse
this barca team puts 4 past Real M and 3 past Bayern....
The City team Pep is taking over is no where near the Bayern or
Barca teams he has managed.
Not exact matches

teams play
barca but not many who look ideally set up to punish Barca big
barca but not many who look ideally set up to punish
Barca big
Barca big time.
But u got
teams like
Barca Bayern Madrid and United who can spend 150 to 200 million every year.
So until then, why not show a bit of modesty, stop with the big predictions and declarations, start showing on the pitch we have changed, beat every
team that's put in front of you and fight each game as if you play in the CL final against Bayern Munich or
Barca.
Chelsea city
barca those kind of
teams.
the problem with us is we are trying to be the english version of
barca, really with the mixture of world class talent and young talent mixed together to build a super
team, but unfortunately that takes time and massive resources to do, resources we now have, time is what we cant afford to do this project with atm.
The 2 would have put some couple of games under their belts and become jelled in the
team before they are made to face
Barca.
The reasons do not counter the fact that
Barca are the world's best
team at the moment.
Even the
teams that drop down from the CL won't cause much trouble cos it won't be Bayern, RM or
Barca.
you also have to consider that giroud managed to do so in the world's toughest league as opposed to la liga where benzema only had atletico and
barca as the only tough
teams to play against.
You mention
Barca and Naymar, Suarez and Messi, should w not take a chance and aspit to have the future Naymar's and Messi's in our
team or is our lack of real ambition showing through the smokescreen of laying well only very recently?
No not good enough reasons to be happy...
Barca are the best
team in the world.we are unlucky again but what the hell let's take the game to
barca.give all we can...
Hector has been brilliant for us but still has much to learn at FB and Wenger is helping out with the conservative
team selection — he was after all a winger in the
Barca youth set - up (slightly ironic really with all the people moaning about AR15 being played in an unfamiliar role that we have a rookie converted winger at RB).
Traore would likely get far more playing time at the other two clubs mentioned, but is confident he can become a star at Liverpool after struggling to make a first -
team breakthrough for
Barca.
After watching Juventus game my opinion is that Bayern is a better
team than
Barca.
Barca is formidable upfront, but Bayern is formidable as a whole, a great oiled machine.I go with Bayern in a confruntation with
Barca.
I'm glad some of us can express their true feelings about our beloved
team faith.It is nothing to do with the loss against
BARCA but we (the objective ones) know long ago that a change is needed in our
team.
Arsenal is one of the top
teams in the world, any
team, even Madrid, Bayern or
Barca should find some difficulty in playing us.
Honestly, I thought: «If I play very well I'll end up signing for
Barca, because my style fits this
team.
I knew we would get
barca somehow.whether we draw
barca or not, we need reinforcements in this
team, what the draw has done is to furhter make it necessary for Wenger to sign players.
