CL Round 1: Barca - Royal Antwerp 5-0

[ajnotkeith]

Amazing line-up.

Look at you coming around.
Laporta and club done a good job in equipping the squad despite funds.

Hopefully xavi will rest lewa after 60min

Lamal in the 2nd half on a lead to get a nice CL debut with maybe a goal would be sweet. Still, need to be careful. CL is CL and there can be plenty of surprises.

 

[JamDav1982]

Other than Lamine that would probably be strongest team currently but there is little between Lamine/Ferran and Raphinha currently and all needs mins.

 

[ajnotkeith]

Depending on how Christensen and Kounde pair its possible Araujo doesn't get in straight away when he's back.

 

[JamDav1982]

£150 on Lewa and Gundo to score at 6/1.

May god be with me.

 

[Loki]

Should be our best 11 right now.

 

[JamDav1982]

Ferran then Raphinha was what wanted before weekend to give Lamal some rest.

No matter who is the starter or think should be RW Yamal needed to be taken out a bit after that run.

Good choices.

 

[ajnotkeith]

Tbh would liked to have seen more rotation, letting Inigo and Ferran (for Lewandowski) get some minutes because they are good players and haven't played much.
Let some of the starters rest for a bit because we have harder games coming up.

And Antwerp aren't a threat.

They will be rotated bar Lewa really.

Other than Barca being ahead and Lewa coming off possibly but also I think Xavi could try to play Lewa back into form and keep him on like did with Betis.

Home Antwerp - Strong
Home Celta - Rotations
Away to Mallorca - Strong
Home to Sevilla - Rotations
Away to Porto - Strong.

Maybe how any rotations will go.

Hopefully xavi will rest lewa after 60min

Nooooooooooo.



He needs to enter the 100 club this season. 😭

Add to that a 7-0 correct score to really spice it up.

You wanna see rotation in the 1st fu**ing game of the season...a season where we must stomp our authority and get back to being considered a serious team...and it starts tonight. For f**k's sake, some of you really are dumb. What we need to do, is play the best goddamn team, get to like 7-0, then you can see rotation all you like.

Its not the first game on the season... we already played 5.

And we just won a league title.

Same. This is good for everyone involved, resting starting XI players, but also giving them some continuity which is needed in case someone won't be available in the future.
