La Liga | Round 34: Valencia - FC Barcelona 2-3

[Bobo32]

Would change things up a bit... To surprise Valencia...

-------------------Whoever--------------------
--------Mingueza---Pique---Lenglet----------
Dest------FDJ------Busi------Pedri------Alba
--------------Messi-----Dembele--------------

If Valencia plans high line like other teams did in the last couple of matches, they get shafted.

That is some serious change you are bringing to the table!
Koeman surprisingly almost changing it up just the way you wanted! A real shame that he plays the greasy frenchman instead of the one who can run very fast though!
Maybe I will have some company in moaning about Griezmann in the match chat today, then...

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Pique always included no matter how he plays?
Annoying...

Dembele should have started this as well

nah would rather see griezmann than dembele but dembele could came in second half if valencia plays with high line

I agree, Valencia will probably sit back and Dembele does not do well against deep blocks.

[Porque]

Valencia also playing what looks like a 5 at the back. Their danger will to our left side with Guedes and Gaya.

I'm interested to see if we put Pique or Araujo as right centreback.

[Total-Football]

He is correcting the line up. But.. One day late one dollar short.

Yeah, I was laughed at for having Pique as the one on the right earlier, but I think it should make some sense in theory.
While the one in the middle gets a lot of the ball, it's simple decisions mostly, just playing easy passes for one of his comrades. The lateral defenders are the one who has the find the breaking pass, and Pique should be better at that than Araujo.

chat is up

[pregra]

We will get torn to pieces on the counter and stand there looking surprised as usual, these players are the only 11 people in the world who doesnt see it coming. Has happened over and over and over these last 5-6 years. Guedes and Maxi Gomez to score at least one each.

[pregra]

Great attack. Awful by Pedri, as per

[Messigician]

I have a bad feeling about this game. See it as a draw at best. Hope I'm wrong and we win but I'm rarely wrong

We win this easily dawg

[JerseyAddict]

Pedri ... We are early on missing sitters ...

[pregra]

Araujo looks incredibly clumsy and almost scared at times.

[JerseyAddict]

We were lucky with that 3 on 2 Valencia coutner.

[pregra]

So laughably predictable in attack. Trying the same thing over and over.

Yeah it's very predictable and badly synced I think.
Busquets the only one really central, three defenders behind, one player on each flank, and then the rest kind of floating around. Not connecting very well, the ball just being moved on the outside most of the time.
