#Thiago used the goalkeeper-dependent method I think

[footieridiculosity]

Okay I’ve tried to hold this in to no avail: our penalties in the FA Cup final weren’t…good. Mendy got a hand to multiple ones and the winning one went in because he dove the wrong way, and Kostas wasn’t using the goalkeeper-dependent method, as far as I can tell from just one angle of the replay. It came down to luck that Mendy went the other way. Our pens in the league cup final were much better, understandably so since 3 of those usual takers (Mo, Fab, Virg) weren’t on the pitch this time. Let’s hit with power into the top corner or side netting, make them unsavable 🙏 And this tactic that neur11 (I assume) have us doing where our keeper takes the ball to the next-up shooter to circumvent opposing keeper mind games, I’m shocked it’s not already stolen by every other team since the league cup final where Kweeveen did it, let’s stick with that.

60-70? :)

i’m going to put this on ‘read more’ because it’s too long!

60. Should World Cup determine the legacy of a player.nooooope. world cup is a very prestigious competition and every players and nations’ dream but it doesn’t determine the legacy of individual players. that competition doesn’t measure their greatness.

61. Do you trust the Ballon D’Or? If not then does your opinion change depending on who wins and what would be a better method than voting.lol this question seems to emerge because of luka?? i do trust the system of ballon d’or though. they’re rumored to be losing credibility (especially after messi excluded from top 3. what??) but it’s more like a failed execution rather than failed system/method. my opinion won’t change depending on who wins either. but to be honest i want it not to be too inclined in attacking players. attacking players always get more coverage from the media and fans so it’s no wonder that they’re more popular. thus i think the voters (journo, captains, coaches i think?) will point out player that stood out the most. so how do they estimate the performances anyway? the other players’ positions rarely get the limelight, but it’s hard to steal the spotlight when there are great players like messi.i guess FIFA could do better to improve the selection procedure though..  

62. Favorite Song that is attached to football memory (chants, songs, tunes)el cant del barca since it’s the first and most popular song i yelled out loud with local fan community. also ‘un dia de partit’ and ‘ole le o la la ser del barca es el millor que hi ha’, 

63. Favorite football commercial (go find it on YT)i have a lot!!! but my most recent favorite is nike’s ‘dream crazier’. tbh i like nike’s commercials more since their consumer research and insights are stronger than adidas’s (imo), they make campaigns that help build ‘personal relationship’ with the consumer although they don’t. 

64. What do you envy the most about your rival teamHAHA i’ve always envied real madrid’s elegant and classic kits. i’m always a fan of minimalist, so imo the classic kit always look more appalling to me rather than kits with patterns (like barca’s). rma’s 17/18 kits is the best though. the blue is very pretty!!also real madrid’s successful campaigns of ucl. that’s seriously very hard to achieve.

65. What do you envy the most about the rival player.i’ll make it about bayern - i always envy that they have goretzka and gnabry (at the moment) and neuer, lahm. maybe it’s because i like germany nt too so i’m really jealous they have them haha

66. A player you wish would leave your teamboateng obviously. i wish suarez didn’t play for us but.. it’s complicated in my opinion. also murillo and vermaelen. also maybe coutinho because it’s sad to see his career doesn’t work out as brilliantly as it did in liverpool.

67. A rival player you wish had joined your teamgoretzka, obviously. also isco. maaaaan. i used to wish varane would play for us but that’s not how it works, no? he’s been inconsistent tho

68. The time you really thought about leaving footballi never really left football tho i haven’t thought about it

69. The worst transfer decision your club madeOBVIOUSLY KPB, WHAT ELSE. also probably selling neymar and thiago alcantara, but whatever. it’s complicated and i don’t think i want neymar back.

70.The best transfer decision your club madehmm all time would probably be pique. i’m grateful to see him back in camp nou after leaving. he’s been our savior since then. also MATS. i’m very grateful barca has the brain cells to actually sign such a fantastic and talented goalkeeper.

thank youuu offi, i hope you’ve been well 🌼
