La Liga Round 19: Barca - Atletico 3-1

[Horatio]

No guarantees. If the players go out motivated and willing to fight we are good. I am not overly optimistic though. Chelsea should have been wake up call but we didn't see the team react in the way we expected against Alaves.
Flick's visible disappointment said it all.

Don't think it was about Bernal, Martin or some other B option either. There's probably issues with some of the (guaranteed) starters. Raphinha the only one in the clear here.

My money is on Casado.

We smoked Bilbao's ass. Atletico is next.

Yea gotta run it back

Flick has this tendency to drop players the moment they make a mistake, I'm from the grep pop from the NBA school, you make them play through their mistakes, sink or swim after that

Going into this game as league leaders. Would be very crucial for our morale to win this one.

DO NOT FUCK THIS UP

Bilbao is slow and weak outside the bros which benefits us a lot. I wouldn't call it a big win.

 

[Andresito]

Much to prove after losing every single big game this season so far. Need this win not only for the 3 points.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Atletico is in their best form this season but opponents were mostly 'easy' except Inter.

Arsenal killed Atletico 4-0.

Must win.

2-1

Honestly, im more confident that we lost in this part of the season. Last season we smoked everyone and by the end we looked gassed as fuck. I believe that this season would have a lot of turnovers in form from every single club there is.

 

[FCBarca]

Concur @Kul_z , between injuries and loss of key central defender and still top of the table at halfway point despite not being in top form nevermind even approaching last season’s level bodes well in that there is massive room for improvement they have in their tank

Question is, much like Flick’s dejected incident I don’t see a team playing with the requisite intensity with any consistency - perhaps they had more to prove last season and/or there are too many young players who have not experienced sustained success. I used to say this a lot when I exclusively watched the NBA, winning to get there is one thing - another thing altogether to avoid complacency (esp. with a young group)

 

[Horatio]

Hungry Raphinha will lead us to greatness.
