La Liga Round 1: FC Barcelona - Rayo Vallecano 0-0

[Birdy]

Goalkeepers: ter Stegen, Pena, Tenas
Defenders: Pique, Araujo, Christensen, Alba, Roberto, Garcia, Balde
Midfielders: Busquets, Pedri, Pjanic, Kessie, de Jong, Gavi
Forwards: Dembele, Lewandowski, Fati, Torres, Memphis, Aubameyang, Raphinha

Not really. Maybe instead of the 3rd keeper, don't know if a 3rd keeper is needed. Could be Xavi is dissatisfied with his effort in training and is giving him a warning. I wouldn't bother too much about it.

I don't remember Xavi ever giving these kinds of 'warnings' after bad performance in training.
Not starting is enough.
And obviously there is space in the squad to be included.

I think there is something else.
The only ones excluded are the unwanted ones. Umtiti, Braithshite, and ... suddenly Dest.

It's amazing what a few months can do.

From despair to being crazy excited for this new season.

Alemany is a god!

 

[Catta]

Can't remember the last time I was this hyped for a season.

 

[Barcaman]

Great summer indeed. Guess hoping we would drop Busquets, Alba and other dead-weight was too much to hope but very happy regardless.

 

[xXKonan]

Ter Stegen; Araujo, Christensen, Eric, Jordi Alba; Busquets, Gavi, Pedri; Demb?l?, Lewandowski, Raphinha

 

[serghei]

Nice line-up.

 

[Catta]

Araujo at RB against a weak opponent is a waste.

 

[Messigician]

Nice line up

Will watch

 

[DonAK]

Hope we're able to sell Dest and sign a good RB, an upgrade, so that Araujo can go back to playing at CB.

This summer? I doubt it.

We're gonna have to roll with the RB being an offensive weak spot in the team. The attack looks great even without a RB who can contribute in offense.

I expect to see a lot of Araujo/Kounde at RB this season.

Let’s score 5 today! Jacked

If Dest is sold they will definitely sign a RB. I think they have someone in mind we don't know about yet.

Issue is obviously will Dest leave? Probably not I guess

 

[jamrock]

If I keep seeing Araujo at RB imma lose it.

 

[Barcaman]

What's with Araujo keep on getting RB spot. Our hands down best defender last season played out of position.
Xavi trying to invent hot water even against likes of Rayo at Camp Nou.
