Europa League

[JamDav1982]

The biggest difference is in the mid to bottom half teams in EPL and La Liga.

Big gap in quality.

Betis same problem as Bilbao in Europe. The physical level just isn't up to par with Premier League. Spain needs to put focus more on the physical side of the game. They are giving massive edge there. Losing every battle, too slow and weak.

Also find players with better physical skills.

In the end, the best player is with the best physical skills AND the ball skills. Not just ball skills.

Igor Jesus did look good at the CWC

Forest fucked up. First half they should have been 2-3 goals ahead, now it's even.

Odd game.

Seems like Forrest ran out or gass in the 2nd half though. Not the same intensity and press as in the first half.

Good result for Betis. They had some horrible 20 mins in the 1st half and Forrest could have finished the game if they were clinical.

Nottingham should have won this by fair margin.

Nottingham should have won this by fair margin.

Yeah, should have scored 1-2 more in the 1st half. 2nd half Forrest were poor, and Betis dominated them, but without much chances.

 

[Barcaman]

Big win for Dinamo. Dominguez was solid.
Fener created little, very disappointing.

Betis lucky they were at home tbh. But yeah, Premier League teams are way too physical for La Liga.


If you made a mixed league of them combined it would be something like...


1. Liverpool
2. Barcelona
3. Arsenal
4. Real Madrid
5. Man City
6. Chelsea
7. Atletico
8. Spurs
9. Newcastle
10. Man United
11. Aston Villa
12. Nottingham Forest
13. Crystal Palace
14. Bournemouth
15. Brighton
16. Athletic Bilbao
17. Villarreal
18. Real Betis
19. Fulham
20. Everton


I think in a combined league there'd be 14 PL teams in the top 20 and 6 La Liga.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

I think the physical difference is very noticeable. Just way too easy for PL teams to bully Spanish teams. It's like father's vs sons.

Superior technique means shite when you have nothing else. Even the technique edge has lowered.

Antony!!!!!

2-2!!

EPL vs la Liga has basically been 50/50 bar athletic, and that loss makes sense.

The EPL gas isn't looking good so far.
