La Liga | Round 5: FC Barcelona - Sevilla 1-1

[Singularity]

The slugfest against Celta in a horrible weather has certainly taken its toll and the players are tired. Celta lost to Osasuna as well.

And people here are falling apart over a (deserved) 1-1 at half time

Not falling apart. Just fucikng mindblown how 30+ year olds are pretty much playing several 90+ min matches in less than a week without getting their minutes managed . And how several garbage performances from the likes of Griezmann are awarded with another starting spot. But I will be sure to PM you and ask for your permission the next time Im about to "fall" apart.

Imo, only Coutinho and Araujo have been okay-sh. Rest have been poor. If we show up with this speed and tempo against a serious team, we're gonna suffer similar fate as recent years in CL.

Going into the season with Griezmann, Fati, Braithwaite, Dembele and Trincao. Not one of them being a proven scorer. Most of them not being a Bar?a level player. Time to wake up I guess

7-2 !!!

I'm still never watching knee-bending premier league ever again (well not that I watched it much before, but still, a boycot is a boycot)

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Did NOT like how Messi was furious on Ansu Fati for that shot he took from 18m, instead of passing to him. Very poor attitude for him. He should be encouraging the younger players not try to bring them down when they attempt something.

He has take on Suarez part

He has take on Suarez part

Let's hope not.

Talking about the game of Liverpool tonight,
it's clear that the most important player for that team is Sadio Mane. He is the player who links between the midfield and attack; and he is the holder of the ball under pressure. He can dicatate the possession as well as leading the counter-attacks.
The Reds can replace Firmino or Salah, but they have no replacement in their squad for Mane.

 

[Gaudi]

I'm not worried, they are trying to play very direct, something we didn't play for years, it'll take time to automatize the team, and gel as a unit.

Liverpool have ruined their legacy. No team that loses 7-2 to Aston Fucking Villa can ever be compared with Pep's Barca. .

I hope Aston Villa score another so that our 8-2 doesn't look that bad lol

Salah scored twice and is their most important player.

Nothing he can do if they defend like that.

Araujo in one Sevilla counter attack pushed up too much almost leading to a goal. His passing has been good but his positioning can be very suspect. Reminds me a bit of Bartra

Surely he didn't press enough. That's what matters
