mate, your theory of 'ifs and buts' only works before events occur. talking now after the dust is settled is pointless as things went our way and we got the three points. even more so, when we are the only team in the title race that won away this weekend, against a difficult team.

this was not some match like in those CL debacles. we were winning and had a man advantage, but we didn't score more due to poor finishing.

You are right until we get the equalizer in the 90th minute because we stopped playing and loosing the title, then everyone will ask why didnt we push for the 3-1 or 4-1.

Exactly. We got lucky in the past two games. Even yesterday Steigen had to make a big save to keep it 2-1.

got lucky by being the better team on the park? what kind of fucked up logic is that?

1 goal margin wins now count as lucky, regardless of what actually happens in the game.

1 goal margin now is a 1 LENGLET margin from draw or loss.
there is a new measure in la liga.

there is a goal, there is a lead by 1 goal, and there is 1 Lenglet that can screw you up.

what on Earth is that logic? A goalkeeper making a save that he should make 10/10 times, directed right at the center of the goal, is not fucking "luck". If Villarreal managed to salvage a point from that game, in fact they would be the lucky ones and we unlucky.

Eh, it almost deflected to goal. Talking about centimeters here.

If deflection changes the angle by few centimeters it's in.

Again, that was just one example where we needed to be lucky.. The point was, we could also kill these games by winning with bigger margin than parking the bus and Hoping the opponent doesn't score with fecking ten players.

You should listen to yourself.. All you say is "if, if, if, if".. doesn't work like that

Granada won 1 of last 9 away games. Lost all those games with 1 goal difference (mostly 2-1), except against United which was 2-0.

This game is extremely risky with it being looked at as an 'easy' game.
Next two games are against Valencia and Atletico. Extremely important not to think too far ahead.

Not a lot of room for rotations. All players in the XI are contributing so they're hard to replace, except current Pedri who really needs to be benched.

Mingueza, Griezmann, Frenkie and Messi are one yellow away from suspension.

That's insane. I'm pretty sure one them will be suspended very soon.

meh te amo he is right why not killing these teams? Sitting back and hoping not to concede wont work every time. We showed in first half that we could dominate Villareal and should keep going in second half until we score atleast the 3-1. Imagine we got the 2-2 because of a corner goal or stupid lenglet mistake in 85.min. Then this forum would have gone crazy and yell why we stopped playing.

you're literally saying the same thing. "imagine if"

Roma showed us that sitting back is the wrong option. Of course its always a 'if' and 'imagine' until its happens. Why waiting for it if we have the power to avoid it.

Theres a human element though... this season has been a meat thresher. Even Frenkie looked physically done at the end.

I have a friend who always drove too fast, we have a street in which you are only allowed to drive 30 km/h (18,64 mph) and he always drove 70-90 km/h (43-55 mph). I said to him:''You are crazy dude if the police puts a speed camera there you are fucked and you need the car license for the way to your work.'' He always said to me:'' Dude relax you say to many if's''. Guess who had to ride with the bike to work two months later.
