EXCELLENT tonight!


Out of nowhere appears a Rakitic we hadn't seen since last season. Perfect timing for the Clasico now. You better fucking keep it up blondie!

Wonder how long Ernie will continue to play him every game

He is not getting rest vs Madrid, that's for sure.

I think Semedo at RB really benefits him. When Bob is playing RW, he constantly needs to cover. As soon as Semedo came on, he became more engaged in attacking play.

Amazing game. Lively from start to finish. Quite a few defense-splitting passes inside for FBs.

 

[vlad]

when he doesnt cover space for messi and his back, and he is more involved in attack, he is awesome, world class, like he was in world cup with Croatia.

Exactly

Except it wasn't true last night until very late in the game with a 2-0 lead.

Also for the NT you face a lot of weak teams, especially when you're in the UEFA qualifiers.

4 or 5 key passes (through balls) tonight

 

[Obiaseti]

He was our main initiator for all moves from midfield. Looks like we've found a working formula with our midfield.

 

[BBZ8800]

Played like Rakitic from a world cup with lots of long balls and forward passes.
With a lot of babysitting and dirty work at the back.
