La Liga | Round 1: FC Barcelona - Elche 3-0

[Gari]

They play on foot, unhurriedly, so they don't win, but pump up Elche's skill.

Horrendous half that. Puig should be above Pedri in the pecking order at the moment, he's adding much more dynamism to the play.

 

[Rassvet]

at least Setien was somewhat likeable while doing poorly

 

[wisconsincule]

Wow we suck. Nothing more to really say.

 

[Bobo32]

At least Koeman can't bring Pjanic on
ah shit but today he can bring Griezmann on... And Lenglet... What are the odds they will both come on before Puig?

There's a bigger chance of Trump admitting he lost the election fairly than of Koeman admitting he has been wrong about Puig.

 

[Devils]

Another Koeman masterclass.

Revered Southampton and Everton manager.

 

[Gari]

If you lack the strength to attack, don't attack, park the bus and disgrace yourself.

Thread locked.

This is going well.. pjanic was about to have an ok game and then he shows he is totally unreliable. Also doesn't seem to have the classic cm awareness, playing passes easily recognizable and risking a counter.
Also, Puig should come on at some point or we only score from luck.

 

[pregra]

Nice by Messi. And Braith finally completes a pass.

 

[Bobo32]

Yes the best player in the world stepped up and dribbled and 1-2:d himself through six opponents to score, very nice of him!
This is total insanity from Koeman playing like this though. Both from the start and then the changes he makes

 

[pregra]

Nice clearance from Mingueza. As soon as we have to defend we crumble. Immediately.

Pjanic is to vulnerable in turnovers. Maybe it's ok when your the highest placed midfielder but when your the pivot it's a disaster. He only thinks of hollywood passes.

Pedri is playing like 2019/2020 DMC Rakitic. Lad needs a rest.

Yes and yes. Pjanic style is not what I want to see at Barcelona
I am not very fond in the "double pivote" play of De Jong and Pedri either, struggling together with the back four to even play past two opponents.
