La Liga Round 19: Barca - Atletico

[FCBarca]

I’d go Dro - Casado - Pedri in midfield

I’d go Dro - Casado - Pedri in midfield

That would be utterly abysmal.

The physically weakest midfield in history of football against Atleico.

Dro is nowhere near ready for that or anywhere close to Olmo as a player currently.

 

[jamrock]

I forgot Pedri was back, but is he ready to start?

Olmo casado
Fermin

Eric at RB.

Sub in Pedri if shit doesn't work out

 

[JamDav1982]

Fermin?

Calma.

 

[ThwiX]

Need some grit and balls out there tonight. No way Olmo should start over Fermin in this game. He is still on fraud watch and a couple of goals against relegation fodder won’t change that. I have nightmares of his performances in these kind of games.

Fermin is INJURED

 

[jairzinho]

Frenkie out is a huge blow.

 

[FCBarca]

Frenkie out is a huge blow.

Strong personalities required in matches like this to be protagonists, absolutely another blow

Very strange series of events that invariably undermines team psyche, come on Raph

 

[serghei]

About as important as a game that takes place in early December can be.

 

[JamDav1982]

Llorente is a big miss for them.

Simeone and Llorente been very good and play with unbelievable energy on that right hand side.

Le Normand also a miss.

Those two were important when they beat Real.

 

[TheStig]

About as important as a game that takes place in early December can be.

Not really, why do you think that? We are in a comfortable position in the league, no real problem if we lose tonight.

 

[jamrock]

Everything is so tight at the top, nothing is fully do or die right now.

Would be great if we can win though

 

[MonteCuler]

This game

 

[Loki]

We have December already and we still didn't play one single game this season with our best lineup, have we? If reports said Rapha, Lamine and Lewy stood recently for the first time since May together on the field and now either Pedri, or Frenkie is missing in the last weeks.

Fielding your top XI has become more difficult than winning a title in today's football. How the fuck do you want to show your best, if somebody is always missing? And even if by some miracle we can finally field our best starting XI, how long it's going to take until one needs to sit out again, talking about getting used to each other for automatisms to work? How many teams have similar problems?

Yet there is no outrage how the sport is being ruined in front of our eyes.

So first no Fati and now no Frenkie! Will be a tough game but i believe in you guys!
