The hell needs to happen for Xavi to drop Lewandowski to the bench, jeez man! This is so so frustrating from Xavi. It's not like we don't have options. we have Ferran Torres, who every time he ahs come on ahs made our attacks livelier, and Marc Guiu, who every time he comes on scores a goal. And yet, we go with Lord Lewa! Fuck me upside down!
If we drop points to Almeria today, we might as well close shop for the season and stop playing football. No seriously, if we drop points to Almeria tonight, Barcelona should be banned from football for the season. End of story.
Almeria, who has zero wins this season, comes to our home and their coach publicly declares they are here for their first win - that's how low we have sunk. And no, I do not see this as arrogance at all from their coach because believe it or not, this game is actually their best chance of getting their first win of the season.
Barca have been lackluster this whole season. We don't defend well, we don't score our chance. We just look lost.
And that is kinda exactly how this first half panned out.
Raphinha gave us the lead with slightly over 10 minutes to go before the half time. All we needed was to see out the half and come back with an updated game plan. But oh no, you could just feel we were going to let Almeria score the equalizer before half time, and so we did!
Lewandowki missed another big chance - like he wouldn't LMAO! Other than that he was nowhere to be seen, he has taken ghosting to a different level - so deep that even ghosts won't see him.
Let's see how long it takes in the second half for Almeria to take the lead!
Ferran Torres is coming on at half time for.....wait for it......Lewandowski Joao Felix. Joa Felix who has been at least 100 times better than lewandowski! Xavi has totally lost it here, I just can not, in good conscience, keep defending Xavi. This is the point I am switching to the "XAVI OUT" gang. That's it, we have seen enough. Xavi is done.
In two minutes Ferran Torres has sparked our attack like Lewa has not done in 2 months!
Barca take the lead! Sergi Roberto from the corner. Both our goals came from set pieces. Our open play hasn't been bad, we have one Lord Lewa to destroy any good open play. So set pieces or whatever, we'll take any goal however they come, whoever they come from!
And again, Lewa misses an almost open goal! How long do we fans have to tolerate this?
And LOL! Almeria has scored again! I am literally laughing! We are digging up ways to make mistakes from under ground LMAO!
The reason I am not writing a live commentary of the game is because all I would be writing on repeat would be "Lewa misses another great opportunity."
Just imagine reading that on repeat, that's exactly what's happening.
And sergi roberto scores again! Imagine how bad our star forward is if Sergi roberto scores twice of the 3 goals we scored. And make no mistake, it was actually a fantastic finish - something Lewa can learn from him. Assist to Lewa though.
And Almeria almost score a third! A crucial save from Inaki Pena! He is really growing in absence of Ter Stegen.
Back to "Lewa misses another great opportunity" or repeat.
3 minutes to go. Don't do anything stupid, just see this lead out. Aaaaand we conceded a freekick, just great lol!
And finally, a victory. We had to get a hard fought victory against the team comfortably sitting at the rock bottom of the table. This win feels...Not like one. We are just so so bad.
Peace out...Xavi out...Whatever.
Hehehe....your rant over Barcelona FC recent lackluster performance is quite justified but the aspect where you said if Almeria should win the first game of the season in Barcelona then they should be banned actually gave me a good laugh.
I feel Lewandowski will still come good this season but if xavi were to bench him it might have great effect on his confidence and he might forever forget how to use his scoring booths. As a former player, I think xavi has his reasons for sticking to him. Hopefully it pays out in the long term and Lord Lewa as you fondly called him repays him for sticking it out with him.
