Copa 1/8 Final: Santander - Barca 0-2

[jaype]

Cubarsi and Martin are just not good enough. I don't know what we'll do with players like these two vs some Bayern or Arsenal.

EZ, we'll eat at least 3 goals. Just imagine Olise, Kane, and Diaz, I'd rather not watch.

In Germany, we say wipe your mouth and continue. No need to overanalyze such games, a typical copa game.

 

[Horatio]

Meh game overall. Felt like a friendly. Racing wasn't all that and we didn't break a sweat.

What’s your analysis on joan garcia tho

I mean.. they had 1 chance in 90 minutes while playing the game of their lives at home against our B team who were conserving energy and team coming from a match final against Real. Some perspective here...

3 starters were in defense. It's not just pure chances. Santander fucked up many situations that were caused by our defensive mistakes. A better team would punish us.

But we werent playing a better team. Defense is not the 4 defenders. It's a Copa away game. Against any team it will be hard, since they give their all. Football cannot be meassured by salaries, it's a tough sport sometimes, even if on paper the difference is huge. Team did ok for me.

The fella is mad again. That's the analysis.

 

[Porque]

Just a remind that Racing beat Albacete this season so probably would have beaten Madrid 5-0 and knocked all the dye out of Arbeloa's hair.

Pure luck with these clean sheets. Defence is a shit show. Cubarsi and Martin? Damn. This is La Masia?? Ffs. We are going to get hammered in CL by the better teams. Than people will blame the high line as usual.

Is La Masia renowned for producing top defenders on a regular?

It's not pure luck. It's JOAN GARCIA.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Huge win. We usually struggle a bit after these good feel Madrid wins.

Eh? Our attack is a bit limp because Torres isn't world class and Lewa is nearing 40 but we completely dominated this game.

77 % possession
6 vs. 1 big chances
17 vs. 6 shots
10 vs. 3 corners
728 vs. 207 passes

Against leaders of Segunda for whom this was like a WC final.

If this team had a young world class striker we'd be unbeatable. Imagine someone like prime Eto'o, Villa, Suarez upfront and not this subbing on/off between Lewa and Torres in the hopes that at least one of them will have a good day.

I don't even know how Flickmeister makes this team score so much. We have no clear reliable starting striker and Yamal needs to work a lot on his finishing.

This was RM yesterday against Segunda relegation side btw:

Yeah I think we did well. Racing did well and gave us trouble but we expected nothing less. Whoever thought this will be walk in the park doesn't understand much about this kind of games

Only that last minute chance bothers me. Shouldn't let such things happen. Had that guy passed to his teammate we go to extra time

 

[Barcaman]

No Cancelo and Roony was a disappointment and so was our play. But maybe we expect too much after Supercopa and at very motivated hosts.

One match less en route to final.
