Lliga Round 2: Valladolid - Barca 0-1

[shadows]

Hilarious that EV keeps starting the same squad as last year.. while new signings continue to warm the bench..

 

[vlad]

He wants rakitic out probably

I dont know if that is the case, but this line up its pretty balanced

Another thing is if team continues to play slow possession football, but thats not due to line up its about tactic

Pretty normal when we have games every 7 days. As soon we have 2games/week we should rotate a lot more.

 

[clemente]

We played a 4-4-2 with 4 midfielders numerous times after that even when Dembele was available.

Let me guess, those midfielders were Denis/Iniesta and Roberto?

 

[DonAK]

What's the discussion about really? I'm lost.

 

[raki]

Rafinha should stay to give more quality to the bench

 

[Total-Football]

someone tells me again why we signed malcom.

 

[xXKonan]

No excuses for Valverde to overuse certain players this season.

Got a pretty good bench this season to take a load off.

 

[vlad]

To be good bench option, otherwise, how would you fit him in the squad, knowing suarez will not be benched

 

[messi2140]

I mean its very early to rest players , and according to Valverde he sees this as a very tough away game. Only thing I'd hoped was he woud bench Suarez , for the rest it's what you would expect.

As a few of us feared and indeed predicted

Isn't it the international break anytime now ?

 

[khaled_a_d]

Pretty much same lineup except Coutinho is in and Semedo is out. Valverde has many options now but opts to play same players again.
Hope he doesn't run players to the ground again.

He shouldn't rotate much that early before team gets a bit of rhythm tbh.
But surely he needs more rotation than next year

 

[Nothanks]

we're playing once every week why do we need to play our bench as starters?
we need to build up our best before trying out the secondary players

people just bitch about anything these days here.

That grass...
