Should have just bought Reus if we continue to play Suarez as winger. Poor guy, almost didn't get a single pass the whole game - and he did try to get into position. But that missed chance was freaking awful...

What is Alves role? Not defending and not really playing at the RB position is it? Brilliant! Before we had 2 fullbacks who defended most of the time and 2 wingers who helped out - today we have neither since Alves is playing winger without defending, what Suarez is doing is still unclear (but...

I agree, but some people seem to ignore this obvious fact. Every single time he is out under pressure he's going to lose the ball or pass it back to the defenders. While I agree that how we play at the moment doesn't really help Raki or the other midfielders - that we don't form triangels, help...

If it only was so simple, problem is that he does make many mistakes - like footyfan mentioned, Raki "gets any mildly difficult pass wrong".

3 half-chances for Atletico and they scored 2 goals. Malmö had 60% possession, hit the post, had 2 PK that weren't called - not fair at all. Atletico were in deep sh*t in the second half yet they managed to score a lucky goal, such is football sometimes - but they're not going to play in the...

And because many of our players are out of form, we don't press, we don't defend good, we have to many mediocre players (Mathieu, Raki, Xavi, SR, Rafinha), we don't really have a huger or urgency, we don't seem to have good tactics against stronger sides... the list goes on

Had 1 or 2 good through balls, other than that a disappointment.

I'm sorry, but what does playing one game on CB and than game on LB have to do with his terrible first touch, passing and running into his own teammates cause' CR made a total joke of him? A player has or does NOT have certain qualities, Mathieu is an OK player - for Valencia. For us he should...

What a first half, I felt sorry for the Ajax players who hardly had a touch on the ball on our half of the pitch. Some things could still be improved and we see some new stuff, like the crosses to our wingers. Those crosses make us less predictable and stretches our opponents, last 2 seasons we...

Beside the crosses I think he did great in the first half and OK in the second. Alves jobb is not to defend so much anymore, he's more of a RM-playmaker - Iniesta and Raki are dropping a little deeper and Messi slots into Iniesta's position - Bartra and Pique stretched a little - Masch slotted...

The Don was freaking brilliant yesterday! He seems to play a little deeper now than 2-3 seasons ago, maybe because Messi will play more as an AM when Suarez will start for us.

No chat???

Fourth consecutive season of sucking from Pedro. I understand that you keep a player that has done so much for you, maybe a season or maybe, just maybe two seasons. But Pedro has been terrible for four seasons now, time to leave ffs.

I don't. Munir and Samper yes, Rafinha and Roberto no. We'll see after the season, but we should already start looking for a CM/AM for next season when Xavi stops/leaves...

This forum has been over this a million times, Pedro is NOT having "a run of bad form" - he's been sucking' for a fourth consecutive seasons (with maybe 4-5 alright games). Tbh, he's not even a decent backup anymore - he has lost it and we can't wait for a fifth season for him to find his form...

Oh Lord, we should just cut out the Lord this Lord that until he gives us a couple of minutes on the pitch. I don't think he'll be up to it, but the mocking will start after the first or second catastrophic match - until than I'll give him the benefit of the doubt...

Gotcha :thumbsup2:

Not sure if I agree that he "was an absolute boss when he came on against Villarreal", but I too am glad we didn't sell him. He is not the Xavi from the Pep era, but still offers us stability and invaluable experience on the pitch.

2nd game? You mean 3rd season?

Soooooooo looking forward to this :)
