    La Liga 14/15

    FT. Deserved win for Sociedad at Anoeta. Their two wins against RM and ATM are very shocking but shows their strength at home. Raul Garcia and Siqueira again disappointments for Simeone.

    La Liga 14/15

    Jesus Christ how many times has Vela been fouled :lol: 2-1 to Sociedad!!! Simeone suffering because of the red and he really should've started Griezmann. The fact that he hasn't even been subbed on yet is perplexing.

    Ridiculous error from Miranda and an even more ridiculous goal line clearance from Godin :worthy:

    Is it time to sack Lucho?

    The better question to ask is when will it be time to sack him. There's no way that doing it immediately will render a positive outcome. There needs to be some more time for it to not be pre-emptive and so that a proper replacement can be lined up. The winter break is a good turning point and...

    Is it time to sack Lucho?

    Probably was something similar, his Celta did play aggressive possession based football. Paco is much more of a radical or 'purist' though when it comes to his philosophy. Much more Bielsa-esque than Lucho. Lucho never made Celta into tactical overachievers the way Paco has with Rayo but he...

    Is it time to sack Lucho?

    The thing about Paco is that his philosophy would give us the foundation to play great football and excel in our game which I long for after the Tata/Lucho debacles. We wouldn't be clean sheet machines but our control of a match and high pressure system will make sure that our defensive issues...

    Marc Bartra

    Pique is incredibly weak and more importantly, he never attempts to get into physical situations as a CB. Not in the air or on the ground. Plus he's a donkey of a defender so I don't see where you're going with this...

    Marc Bartra

    Well for all intents in purposes, it doesn't matter that Bartra is particularly fast or strong. It's just that he's clearly and evidently faster and stronger than Pique.

    Luis Enrique

    He's becoming so damn poor it's ridiculous. It's shown that he was never up to the task tactically but now he's underperforming even further as coach. I don't think we'll have the same mercy against Sevilla or Valencia (especially the latter), I'd have a certain level of surprise if he kept the...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    He moved plenty and tried a lot but he couldn't find the right rhythm. A mix of bad luck and bad play today. Can't blame him for systemic restrictions but he wasn't performing at an optimal level individually either.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Fucking beast. With the way we were playing/organized and the way Almeria parked the bus, it really looked impossible for us to find the space and rhythm to score. Those chances were difficult to imagine and create yet his relentless effort did it. This is an example of how Suarez is an X factor...

    Lliga: UD Almería - FC Barcelona 1-2

    I agree that they should've been taken long before, and I'm not giving him credit for it at all. Just saying that a lot of the hatred coming is premeditated and pre-emptive when the only true personnel error shown today is Suarez being taken out of the lineup. At least be fair with the criticism...

    Lliga: UD Almería - FC Barcelona 1-2

    I'm not giving credit, just saying that the hatred is being misdirected. If I were to try to find fault with Lucho's actions today, the lineup decisions is one of the things that he more or less actually improved upon sans benching Suarez. It's the tactical side that I'd observe with high...

    Lliga: UD Almería - FC Barcelona 1-2

    Some of the complaining is way overboard. The only real incorrect omission was Suarez, Neymar really needed rest today if you look at how much he's played recently. I actually like the Adriano/Bartra decision. Benching Pique, giving Bartra chances, seeing the fault in Alves, etc. These are...

    Rafinha Alcantara

    Good intensity, bad performance. He needs to improve his decision making quickly and find a role that he performs well on the pitch. Otherwise his chances of being a real success here will diminish.

    Marc Bartra

    Showed more physicality in getting that assist than Pique has in his entire career...... That's the one thing I don't understand with the gripe about Bartra being weak. He isn't particularly strong or good at standing his ground but compared to Pique, he's light years ahead in terms of aerial...

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    So vital with his passing game. His presence as the last man is one of the big reasons that we build from the back effectively under pressure. Great performance and he really should be getting a few more chances now.
