Lliga: FC Barcelona - Granada C.F 6-0

Not at Barca. Quote my post in a couple of years time.

Without sounding like a broken record, I maintain Lucho and co will want to justify Bravo's 12m € tag. He was their signing, and will remain their #1 as long as they're dictating things. They will give him the platform to succeed, regardless of his performances. Lucho's reaction to Bravo's Napoli howler was very telling. Moreover, the fact that he asked for another GK to be signed despite having 2 competent keepers on his roster suggests he's not really believer in Mats' talent. People will say i'm overreacting, but its getting evident by the day. Mou didn't think twice about benching Cech (despite his PL stature and being last season's Golden glove) and put Courtois in goal who was also a newbie in the PL. It shows he rates him and thought long-term.
To put in to perspective, Lucho had no qualms giving an unknown Brazilian his debut in a difficult away fixture, whilst he doesn't deem MAtS capable to hold his own against Granada at home. Bravo is our #1 for the foreseeable future for better or for worse. I can see one of our B keepers taking over when the record breaking and conqueror of Artola, is deemed unwanted.



You're slowly learning.

I was convinced that you were overreacting before the season started. But I'm a believer now.

Tbf then it didn't seem possible before the season, but now I am not sure anymore.

Thank you. I just lol at people who come with stats, that we haven't conceded a goal so far. That has more to do with the defence, than with Bravo

Bravo mind controls the posts. All 4 times that it stopped us from conceding this season.

He did have the black cat run into his goal!

I liked the high pressing , but can we please so with the crosses. It only took us 344737 crosses to score out of one and why did messi look sad after the third goal ????

He probably wants his 400th goal. And by now he realized he has to create, for Barça to score

Lucho's system seems clear now. The midfielders don't combine, almost no plays thru the middle, just the flanks. Only Messi attempts something from a central position. This is worrying me. So many crosses...

He's using up all his luck for the Clasico where he will concede between 4 and 6.

DAT Crosselona DOE.

Because he has no role in this team. He is wasting his best years to draw the opposition so others can score. Attacking play is seriously bad right now. Absolutely no chemistry...

Yeah, let's go back to being predictable and Messi statpadding, so that his nuthuggers can be satisfied. I mean God forbid we do something that allows us to beat the opposition in multiple ways.

Crossing is the answer ?

It's part of it, yes.

Exactly.

 

[Luftstalag14]

What is the point of the crosses when we are a team of midgets?

 

[messi2140]

It's part of it, yes.

It wasnt a part of it , it was the whole of it. If it wasn't for the goal of Neymar , we would've still been crossing to our 1.70m players. Where are the triangles , the beautiful passes ? It's all gone , all I am seeing is cross after cross.

 

[Ursegor]

23 crosses in the first half. Let's see if the 2nd half can top it.
