:worthy:Absolute class goal by Las Palmas. Lazy defending by Madrid.

Some good saves, especially against that set play free kick.

We'll see what Flick can do with him. He's always been an offense killer except when he's bringing the ball forward at full pace on the counter.

Casado also looking good.

Looking forward to the kids benching FdJ. Bring him on to slow the game down with a lead. Keita 2.0 (though not as skilled).

Looked like a knee ligament sprain. Maybe a light MCL sprain.

No doubt— Flick-ball miles more entertaining than Xavi-ball. Barca fun to watch again. Much more trying to work balls through the middle with slick passing.

Olmo exactly what Barca needs— attacker with instincts and finishing ability. otherwise, it's all build-up, no result. Gavi and Fermin add that as well.

ffs, can't any player push Kounde out of the starting 11? So painful to watch.

Well played, Real Mallorca. Could very well have taken all 3 points themselves.

MOTM. Needs more players around him who understand his pass & move vision and will play those runs with him. Olmo, Gavi. Best pivot player Barca has had since Busquets and Xavi. Always supplying the extra man for the triangle. Quickly shifts play towards open space rather than jam the ball into...

He was very good. Intelligent player, technical, and a tricky dribbler for someone his height. Did exactly what Xavi asked of him, tbh.

Casado needs more players around him who understand his pass/move vision. Olmo and Gavi with Casado could be quite dynamic.

That pitch is soooo slow. Barca needs to adapt and put more pace on their passes.

Ugh, that sucks. Exciting talent. Hopefully jut a slight detour.

We'll see. Most of these youngsters won't see game time once the season starts. You've already got more players ahead of him and he's unlikely to make the bench. But I'd prefer him to Romeu as a sub.

I'm liking Casado. Smart player, good positioning, fine ball control, excellent team awareness. First time I've seen him play. Nice to see more ball playing and less kick it up the wings play.

His aggression pays off again.

No question that Chivas defense was terrible.

He's got aggression, the desire to attack, and good enough skills to back it up. That kind of opportunism wins you games.
