La Liga Round 10: Real - Barca 2-1

[Loki]

It's okay, I expected worse to be honest. This result and game isn't flattering for Alonso, it looked like Ancelotti 2.0. Playing with 6 players backline, defending 2-1 at home like Getafe against the weakest Barca under Flick with half the team injured, or half fit.

The most important part for Flick is to get the team back on its feet, physically. Injuries must end, players must get fit again. Everything else is secondary. The most unimportant clasico of the season, all other will be much more important. Flick has roughly 2 months to get the team healthy and back in form.

Exactly. Madrid had all the advantages. They got this one but season is long

Intensity was embarrassing. No ideas when we have he ball everyone standing around. Minute 88 and everyone walking except frenkie.

Lamine absolutely horrendous performance, embarrassing even.

Rashford, Tek, Araujo, De Jong solid games.

Everyone else ranging from bad to trash. Flick gets 0.

Cubarsi, Martin, Balde, Casado, Fermin, Torres, Garcia - solid subs at best for a top-level Barca. Nowhere near good enough to be starters for a CL contender.

We could have also scored more. Stop this bs. Tek had a lot of saves but except the pen none of them so hard

Lewyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 😭

Relax. He'll be back to save Barca again even if the fans will never admit it and call him a flop transfer.

2-1 really isn't that bad. RM played towards the top of their game. We played towards the bottom. Even though overall our level is much lower than last season.

Pedri is terrible today. He was in love with the ball. Same with Frenkie. They love passing and running around as long as it is safe. Never dangerous. Never going to shoot.

Yamal is probably entering his sophomore slump. He will pretty much be bad all year as the clubs have learned how to stop him. He needs to develop more ways to be dangerous. His touch was great just too passive.

Defense let us down but in the 2nd half honestly we shut them down. Half of it was because they just parked the bus. Eric Garcia is a bum and always will be at CB. Play him at DM or RB.

Kounde sold the game like always. He can't score on a high ball 1v1 ever.

Tek was player of the game. Easily.

Fermin scored and did nothing but blow chances afterwards instead of looking at the free man

yeppppp need this guy

Should have been a 5-1 hammering but lucky to not concede more.

Men against boys out there today and Madrid played conservatively.

This is a good take

Imagine what our team would look like if we had someone like Mbappe or Haaland as a striker who doesn't immediately shit their pants in 1vs1 and fall to the ground when touched just slightly. Also making some runs into box would help instead of just standing still.

The result is expected - Real Madrid have improved their squad a lot since last season while the Barca team has become worse. And worse not just in terms of squad quality, but also in terms of mindset. Attitudes of these players are rotten.

I've seen talk around this forum of Barca having one of the best squads in Europe - not sure people who say that are serious.

Barca's entire defensive line is basically a bunch of mid-table level players who are average to poor defensively. There isn't a single decent defender in this team. The only defensively sound player (who wasn't world class) was let go on a free this summer.

This club needs to sign players and the current crop of of players need to get their attitudes in check.

The team needs at least two new fullbacks, a CB and a ST....not happening, i know, but the team will continue to regress unless these signing are made.

I don't know the rules anymore, they are changing shit all the time, but this does seem like a clear foul which should have been called. They are in contest for the ball and he hits him with a fucking elbow. How and why is that not called, I don"t understand.
