Overall, a point is a good result from this fixture. Bilbao away is difficult at the best of times. With this team, it's quite a decent point.

agree with your opinion on the result but worrying signs tonight, big cracks confirmed in certain parts if the team.

Happy with the point too, but its gonna be a rocky season for sure.

we could have Haaland and Mbappe for peanuts but we didn't want them
we wanted Coutinho Dembele Greizman

smh we need to hire the talent evaluator at Dortmund to run our club

we think Eric Garcia is a good CB we think Riqui is bad etc what nonsense this team has become

we get rid of Trincoa for Demir

It may be time to hold the brakes on Eric, he's still 19 and clearly physically not there yet, starting him away to Bilbao was stupid

True. This point could be the difference between champions league and europa league next season at this stage. The team looked absolutely lost.

Absolutely no need to overreact at the moment. Result is okay/good, could have gone either way though.

Koeman and Griezmann are my worries.

Griezmann for the money he is on (massive) has to be our Bruno or KDB to justify it. He is not and never will be. This is our fault at the club for paying so much for him and giving him crazy wages. The expectations are unrealistic for his ability

All in all it's not a bad point. This is always a tough ground to play at. We couldn't match Bilbao's aggression/physicality. Simple as that.

Draw away at Bilbao isn't bad. Game wasn't great but there is more to come, i mean we've all seen it WITH Messi so of course this season will be rough.

Only hope for our attack would be Fati full recovery or some miracle involving Dembele and/or Coutinho somehow starting to perform. Griezmann looks as useless as ever so far so no hope for that one.

Messi is finally gone. He was the reason Barca played without a real RW and caused an imbalance to the formation.

It was so great watching Barca finally play with a right winger. Oh wait....
