Thanks for quantifying what I was trying to say. Italy has proved brutal for Barça in the past. The Giuseppe Meazza, Milano is our toughest possible away fixture. Fingers crossed for a win! Visca Barça !
This isn't the Tebas league. Not yet anyway. EE will demonstrate increasing on-field violence the more desperate they get. They are used to having things their way.
Valladolid should have been on the end of another spanking vs Celta Vigo. I don't want to burst our bubble, but it seems that Valladolid is a substandard side. Girona will be more like our first three games. Close. I hope for no more injuries.
As someone who has seen a fair bit of Fermin Lopez I can tell you he provides enormous energy with his performances but I expect the inaccuracy of his passing to frustrate you in the medium to long term.
I loved Emerson’s work rate at Betis. I don’t love his appalling first touch. I’m hopeful but realistic. And let’s face it, Dest has thus far proved little better than Roberto.
