Liga Round 19: Las Palmas - Barca 1-2

[ajnotkeith]

Anyway, I hope now we are understanding how good Stegen really is.

A keeper isn't only reflected by their direct shot stopping. Their positioning, organisation of the defense, anticipation etc. can result in what would be goals against other keepers, not being chances at all due to their correct reading of the situation.

I am sure part of our defensive issues is Pena being in for Stegen. The area is usually very secure with Stegen.

Good refereeing there lol. Fits right in with this shitshow.

Keep making the runs and actually passing the balls behind their defenders. Their GK not going to bail them out each time.

How is our xg stats?

Don't think so. At Barca the keeper has to be good with his feet. And Tenas cost us very little, 0 transfer money and very low salary.

It's all finances at this point.

Solid back-up keeper is a luxury.

Most clubs has an experienced backup for precisely these moments.

We decided to renew a 6/7 choice CB, which is where our quality in depth is at. From A through B and loaned out.

Bad decision really as a bad goalkeeper will directly lose you points, just as a bad striker.

 

[ThwiX]

Both of the Barca rejects will score against us tonight, right? Lol

 

[Sorin]

Yeah, let’s blame the second keeper for the team conceding chance after chance after chance in every match. That’s why we are behind this game, not the chaos in our defense, not our mid leaking like a dam in rainy season, not our manager thinking Oriol Romeu will do as a DM while buying every overrated forward for 50m.

Very few teams really have a great back up keeper, many teams like us just use their youth products, because goalies very rarely get injured.

I agree with you. But you're just not pointing your fingers in the right way.

True. Only very rich teams invest in some good back-up keeper.

Is Ferran Torres even in the game

 

[ajnotkeith]

The regression that we've made from last season is catastrophic. Teams used to have to really work to even get past our first line of pressure, now they walk through our midfield, we've completely lost organisation and control. Whilst we had similar scoring issues last season we generally didn't allow Liga teams to have much possession in our final third.

 

[Horatio]

I am getting sick of the dumb finger on temple celebration

 

[serghei]

Inaki Pena is a disaster.

He caught as many balls as some Barcaforum users would have done so far. Zero.

 

[Horatio]

Inaki peńa chris evans wish version?

 

[ThwiX]

So close again from Sandro. Him and Munir hungry to show us the middle finger together with their coach, lol.
