The TalkFCB Podcast ft Barcelona 1-2 Atletico, Lewandowski's form, Raphinha's words, Pedri & De Jong

[@TalkFCB]

There's a lot to dissect...

[@DB2024-k3l]

Stop exaggerating Jimae, you are overlooked all those 51 goals they scored 19 games halfway of the season. Barca is way ahead of every team in Europe And you talk about capitalising on those moments. I'm frustrated and disappointed, but goal scoring is not the issue. Lack of concentration focus and hunger for winning trophies are the biggest issues

[@MandilakheMjandana]

Jamie to answer your question about Lewandowski..I am with you on this..Lewandowski has given his all and I don't think there's anything more he can give us..like I said in your post game video ..even if he can score 25+ goals by the season's end..the honest truth we need to face is that his overall play has declined and that's due to age. Now his finishing is starting to lack a little bit..what else will he offer if he can't finish off the chances that Pedri, Lamine, Raphinha and Olmo are creating for him...the truth is we need to cut him loose end of this season and the board should go for Erling Halaand all out with Leao aswell ..some hard sales will need to be made in the summer honestly..this squad is not bad overall but some positions need to a refresh for next season Also what you said there in the end of the podcast..Do we still believe in this team? My answer is a resounding Yes even though there will be bumps in the road to make this team great again...I hope we get to see more of Pau Victor in the center forward position more in the second half of the season...please Hansi Flick give the boy a chance

[@maxv-u9u]

I'm really fed up now. I have been watching Barcelona play since Ronaldinho 's time has never been so upset

[@xyphoto]

Both offense and defense problems. Get rid of Lewa who is too old and slow and Balde. You want consistent players, not someone who can only shine occasionally. De Jong is definitely many times better than Eric Garcia. If you lose, there is definitely a defense problem. You cannot just rely on the offside trap. The total number of goals that they have scored is misleading. Trophies are won by consistency not a few five goal games. Barca needs to focus on the small games. Make sure you have consistency and pocket those games.

[@odinmedina3718]

u needa invite guests in this ho jamie, like a real podcast

[@fimmyk]

Lewy had that purple patch at the beginning and has been shooting blanks for the last 6 games. the guy is almost 37 and no big team in Europe is playing a 37 years old striker. the fact that Barca is content with him shows the level we are at.

laliga top scorer, ucl top scorer, most goals this season. 2 bad games and its enough for everyone to turn on him? Are you serious?????

[@omoladeajetunmobi3631]

@@XLSpiralnot two bad games. He has been awful for 5-6 games. When he is not scoring he is useless. Link up play is awful in those games. Hate when he is not in the box, he kills the attack

[@sagedigitaldynamics]

​@@XLSpiral he was only clinical against Madrid. With the supply and chances Barcelona have been creating any decent striker would have scored more goals. He misses 10 chances and covert 2. I know games he would have finished with a hat trick but he ends with a brace 😢

[@BC-mj7gj]

Pau Victor starting over Lewandowski is the right way to go, Pau might not score many goals but his overall play will lead to many goals from players around him. I don’t care what anyone says about Lewandowski but his overall play frustrates me so much. The one thing he can do is to score tap ins and now he miss sitters game after game.

[@barstar888]

Are you insane? Starting victor over Lewa? wtf is wrong with our fanbase. If there was a Kane, an Mbappe, a Vini, a Haaland or anyone who has PROVEN they can consistently score in front then of course but Victor who has never started 30 games in league to displace a league leading goal scorer and career 100 goal UCL scorer. All that’s going to happen is after 1 game where victor doesn’t score we will have the idiots in our fanbase sh*t on him and destroy his confidence. This is ridiculous and especially after Barca actually put a good performance forward just didn’t get the result.

[@syedbadriz198]

[@pboyiyinbor6957]

Thank you. I feel like I'm going crazy seeing how limited he is. He can't control the ball without taking 20 touches. The attack dies when he touches the ball. His headers are so bad, his losing the flight of the ball.

[@knuckles2591]

You forget how good Lewandoski positioning is. He opens up chances for other players just by his positioning. That's why sometimes when you sub him out for Torres our game dips. Then they rely on nothing but crosses. Crosses that they should be doing when Lewandoski is in the pitch

[@benjaminlorentzen9561]

Yesterdays match gave me a lot of confidence going into the second half of the season. Even tho our last results are terrible, the squad has seen that they can pretty much be the best team in the world. We are just two games behind eventually, things can change quickly and we have already witnessed that this season. I think this break will help a lot, the players will reset their mindset and Flick will work and think upon how we will be unbeatable again going in to 2025. Lets not lose hope, this team is miles better than it was under Xavi. We also got a much better coaching staff now which will help a lot in getting our results on the right track. countinue to support the team. Visca el Barca!

[@sase290388]

100% correct. With Xavi, we played 10 good games the most over two and a half years course. Even the league he has won we weren't anywhere near good, and Real was very, very poor. It is obvious that Flick and his coaching staff are doing mich better job. Just look at the injuries. Apart form the long term injuries he inherited form Xavi we barely had any. Before Flick came we had a ton muscule injuries and we couldn't run for more than 60 min.

[@bobyy6557]

delusional, u'll know eventually Xavi >>> flick

[@benjaminlorentzen9561]

@@sase290388 Yeah. I really cant belive that some people miss Xavi. We played extremely boring football and our identity became meaningless possession and crosses. People already forget the perfect start we had with Flick, we got hit by fatigue and also a lack of focus all of a sudden, which you can see because of the late conceders. But apart from that we have also been extremely unlucky in many situations. Playing wise we are still very very good for the most part. The biggest difference from the start of the season is that we actually used to put our chances and scored early on (which opened up each game). I also think the mentality is much better now, you see players speaking up and taking the blame but also pointing out things that needs to be adressed. With Xavi there was 1000 excuses after every loss.

I'm really concerned about this season. I remember last season.... we started the season well. Then we started having this same issue, finishing. Last season, we created the highest number of big chances created in Europe's top 5 leagues, but we just couldn't score. Then, player confidence dropped, and we started to see so many defensive mistakes, and that was the end of the season.

Please please never stop these podcasts Jamie. They provide us the chance to get involved in these videos and discuss an array of topics!!

Lewa isn't in form atm but there's no proper back up to him, we lack back up wingers because Raphinha played amazing but he can't play on both wings at the same time, Fermin did his best but he's not a winger, Olmo coming in didn't bring what we hoped for and overall we are just not efficient at all. We played really well but our efficiency killed us, we should've scored 4-5 goals. 7 shots on target out of the 19 shots in total just isn't the Barca we used to see earlier on

How on earth can a big club like Barca not have a solid bench and, even worse, not be able to take advantage of players like De Jong or Araujo for a game like this? What's really happening?

[@notnotnownow9622]

No big clubs is playing like Flick and you saw the results - Barcelona is on 3rd place today, under Atletico and Real. He doesn't change the formation or the starters, it's always the same - that's why he kept only Lewa, selling Guiu and forcing Vitor on loan.

[@Guitarrman]

Talking about Lewandowski, let’s remember that we’re still discussing the team’s top scorer. At the beginning of the season, when the goals were coming, he was confident and able to secure points for the team. Now, there’s a bit of a slump, a lack of luck. Sure, the situation against Atletico, where Ferran passed an easy ball to him right in front of the goal, should have been converted without question, but let’s not forget it was offside-there wouldn’t have been a goal anyway. Let’s show some trust; the season is still ongoing. Barcelona has plenty of problems-numerous individual mistakes, dips in form, and a lack of consistency from many players. It’s clear that Lewy is expected to score, and when he doesn’t, he gets judged for it. But I’m confident he’ll start scoring again very soon.

[@georgejerryswaniker9834]

[@imdavidkoe]

Yesterday's performance speaks volumes about the potential of this team. They delivered their best match in terms of controlling the opposition and creating chances, yet the inability to convert those opportunities into goals continues to cost us crucial points. This situation reminds me of what Madrid and Mbappé experienced earlier this season-generating chance after chance without the finishing touch. It feels like this squad can only fully commit and perform flawlessly in one competition at a time, and it’s clear they've prioritized the Champions League. The contrast between Barça in La Liga and Barça in the Champions League is striking. For the first time in years, there's a genuine confidence when facing top teams like Bayern, but the focus on domestic competition seems to have diminished compared to previous seasons. From a squad perspective, depth remains a concern. Balde desperately needs competition or a natural left winger to share the workload. Expecting him to constantly cover both attack and defense on his own is unrealistic. Players like Nico or Leão could be ideal additions to address this gap. Overall, while there are challenges, I wouldn’t be overly negative. The early months and Champions League performances may have set an unrealistic standard, but the team's trajectory still offers plenty of reasons for optimism.

I'll keep saying this, lewy is not the same we know back then. He has massively dropped in performance. Under xavi it was the same thing. No club creates the amount of chance barca creates, no good striker to convert them. Ferran, the chances he's be given to improve he hasn't live near expectations. Eric Garcia, hmm, these are players who shouldn't be near barca by now. Barca's current assistant coach is extremely poor. He doesn't know how to sub at all. Look at the game against leganes, everybody knew lewy and olmo were not in the game but instead of him to sub them earlier into second half, he played them till later when things got out hand. Lamine was injured and needed to be sub off, he let him played till 75min, ahhh can't you see? He's extremely poor seriously. In all, barca needs a striker, a LW, squad depth

[@Triple_X_X]

Things we've been learning for years yet no solutions ; 1. Rafael Leão for LW ; he's levels above any other option.. 2. Get Davies and Jonathan Tah for free 3. Buy a natural quality right back 4. Get a striker for the future 5. Sell De Jong, Ferran Torres, Garcia, Fermin and Fati..Lewy should leave after this season..and Bench Gavi

[@amanuel6047]

Right back ? What about Kounde ?

[@JaafarKinani]

Zero ball knowledge

[@JaafarKinani]

Garcia is a really good sub and what were you saying about fermin😂😂😂? Did you even watch him in the olympics? And Gavi came back from a whole year without playing

[@OlanrewajuTemitopeOlukosi]

Gavi? Hmmmm

[@dp4812]

I agree with everything except 5.

[@ferminharris3826]

Simple, we don't have squad depth to compete. We need more wingers and full backs first and foremost

[@nudrad3832]

Put on Pau Victor please he was so good in pre season after that never got a chance

[@christ-Revealed]

barca fans are becoming as reactionary as arsenal fans, the only problem i believe we have is that we dance alot in the box. we dont shoot from outside the box as we used to in the beginning of the season. Shooting is one way of coming out of a shooting slump, we give one two many extra passes. pedri should be shooting more, olmo too, casado, this is how madrid wins ugly games, when valverde, even rudiger is shooting, bellingham, everyone is shooting. 1 your opponent wont sit back, 2 there can be rebound and hence more chances for chaos, 3 spillovers 4 unpredictability

[@makwetisishekanu6800]

Why does one player's dip in form, one player's absence, and a slight rotation of a player or two become disastrous for a team? That is Laporta's homework. I am not sure how long Flick will continue pretending until he finds himself in Xavi's shoes.

[@tobiassakala479]

At the back Kounde is too slow to track back we should have played Araujo at the right back.

[@avynavy936]

i’m thinking 2 CB - Kounde and Inigo/ garcia RB - Araujo LB - Curbasi or Christesses / blade Midfield - De jong / Pedri / cassDo CAM - Gavi / Olmo / Torre / Fermin LW - Raphina / Fati Striker - Pau victor / Lewandowski RW - Torres / Lamine GK - Szecenny

[@adebimpesaheedolawale5471]

Our main problem is that we are now predictable, not like before that they don’t predict our attack. Although our playing style is different, but we don’t actually try much of our luck outside the box 18, and that’s bitter. The other problem is lewy, man is sharp, and I don’t know why we keep benching pau Victor. The guy scored 20 goals at his season at Barca athletic. He is good but you always play lewy over him

[@hankstorm3135]

i already thought when he entered the scene, if pedri played in like MSN or with guardiola... i think he would be rated one of the best midfielders ever.

[@briandexter5762]

Why are people focusing on Lewa and forgetting Raphinha. Rapha has been missing sitters for the past few games too and without goals he doesn't offer much coz he can barely dribble.

[@standupagainstdingdong21]

He has the most chances created in Europe and is the only one along with Pedri giving everything on the pitch. Obviously he has to play yamals role when he’s not there and it don’t suit him. Our fanbase doesn’t understand we need a RIGHT winger with the same characteristics as Lamine

[@briandexter5762]

@ oh so Lewa doesnt leave it all on the pitch too eh? He's 36. Every player out there is giving their all. He has been missing chances recently that at the beginning of the season he would have buried without a doubt, even the Yamal L2 passes Rapha has been missing them. Creating doesnt mean much if you cant score the chances you get. He's been average. Running and running and missing

[@marshallsuuz8668]

Hello Jamie Big fan of ur channel...been a silent member for a while now, and I just cannot believe what is happening at Barca.... particularly Lewandoski.....and in my opinion, he should start but if at half time he's not performing, sub in Pau Victor. If Pau Victor starts putting in the numbers in goals, then Lewa should join Frenkie on the bench. Because honestly, despite our misses, we could have won that game if Pau Victor came in at halftime

[@akhenatenAmen]

It's crazy that I thought that last minute goal was going to be ours, from the time they scored the equalizer. It would have been poetic justice but I guess we need to learn from these situations.

[@XYZ-tx9id]

One thing that is pretty clear, that Pedri is the best midfielder in the world. Fans of other clubs can argue with the air. This version of pedri is better than any version of olmo we have ever seen. There's a reason pedri started over olmo in Euros.

[@yasoobraza1]

[@dlspro04]

Damn the intensity when Jamie was talking about Lewandowski 🥵🥵😅🤦‍♂️

[@insane_red_1045]

I do remember Lewy missing some key chances against Bayern back when Xavi was in and if he puts these chances away we would have had different stories and this is something that’s concerning for the bigger games to come in the second half of the season

[@kC-wp1yd]

I still cannot believe how Barca lost this game. They were far better than Atleti. With the support of a packed stadium, I thought they should have scored at least 4 goals given the chances they created. Unfortunately, they were not clinical in front of goal. Atleti, on the other hand, took both chances they created. It’s sad to end the year like this. Let us hope Barca regains their goal-scoring touch in the New Year. Wishing everyone a Happy Christmas.

Lewa can't play each game anymore full, he is 36, it's just the truth, nothing wrong with him, it's just age catching up with his body. We need to put faith in Pau for now and have Lewa play for a limited time only
