Liga Round 19: Las Palmas - Barca 1-2

[Andresito]

Roberto bro, 2 goals last game and now afraid to shoot?

 

[NKMaribor]

And? Last season we had the same manager.

I'm curious how do you explain that.

Easy. Brutal positive variance.

But i agree with you in one thing. This Barca squad is average as frack.

 

[ajnotkeith]

Come on. Let's admit it.

We joke but it probably is one of the reasons.
He had his problems, but we brought in a guy who is even slower and on top has a quarter of the technical ability.

Now we play with no true DM because Romeu is that bad.
Busquets needed replacing long ago. Having to scramble with no money to find a replacement was pure idiocy.

 

[Barcelonista001]

Is this for real?
Change must be done immediately

 

[Sorin]

If we’d be playing with Sandro and Munir, certain posters would called them rejects left and right.

I have a recurring dream of how good Busquets could do at Girona.

To be honest? The tactics didn't work the same after Dembele left.

After that point we got by off pure physicality and organisation and did well neutralising teams but we lost our bite after that.
This season, he changed the tactics and still hasn't been able to find anything that works, he is still tinkering every game and you can see it on the field, there is no continuity of play or real scheme.

A real replacement for Dembele was needed to continue Xavi's 4 box scheme. Sticking with Raphinha hurt us even if he isn't that bad.

Nah, this doesn't explain the non-stop defensive fuck-ups.

The realistic scenario is the that team overperformed last season and is underperforming this season. The real quality of this team is an average of the last season and this season. Up there fighting for 2nd or 3rd place with Atletico.

Would use Roque and Felix in second half, need creativity

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

at least four hail marys so far

Palmas midfield too dangerous to enter jajajjajajjajjjajjjjjjjjjjjj

 

[Porque]

Roque must be thinking, why oh why didn't I take the Chelsea offer.

 

[Temptation]

Iberian Allardyce openly asking Araujo and Christensen to play hoofball haha.

 

[behindbrowneyes]

Raphinha and Ferran Torres are the most useless forwards I have ever seen lol

It takes some talent to be as invisible against a team that is leaving tons of space to exploit behind their backline.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Gundo 92% pass accuracy!

 

[serghei]

I would not be against a managerial change, but you have to be realistic either way. Some poor guy stepping in to claim La Liga titles and get far in CL with this team is up for a monumental task.
