La Liga Round 33: Barca - Mallorca 1-0

[Iniesta Ultra]

Imagine if any other player did the same as Yamal to keeper. Shows he doesn't take the game nor best itw image seriously acting like a scrub on goal. And his other shots today looked like old school Dembele to mid-stands.

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

A game that should have been buried by 3 or 4 goals in the 1st half already

Did not like the attitude of the team after the 1-0
Everyone doing chill rondo and no urgency, as if they score was 4-0

Urgency doesn't score against a good bus, tiki taka does but this lineup first time this season no surprise everyone underperformed xG.

Damn!! How was he great?

With those number of misplaced passes?
What standard do you guys have for the word "great"???
Or could it be that you guys dont have other adjectives to describe something "manageable" or good or just average?

Great by definition means .....exceeding normal...of high quality....eminence...

What did Garcia play today that was eminent or exceeded high quality???

Great, very good, good.

Which ever word we want to use, he played a new position and played handled it like a man

 

[JamDav1982]

Garcia had 92% passing, got the only assist of game and made as many tackles as anyone in Barca team.

Good game clearly.

Mallorca made it easy but still a good game.

 

[Barcaman]

Hansi Flick:

"Despite the rotations, everyone played well. They played with the style we want, and it was fantastic to see how they integrated."

"Their goalkeeper was very good, really. I think the whole team defended well. The way this team played was excellent."

"We have a really positive feeling in the group right now, everyone feels included. That's what we need."

"Rotations are part of my job. I have to manage thinking of the next match."

"40 shots... we played some really good football today. We missed some, but we got a clean sheet."

 

[Gazzznigga]

Great, very good, good.

Which ever word we want to use, he played a new position and played handled it like a man

First off, today was not the first time he was playing as RB for both Barca and Spain. So its not a new position

Should we we then agree that any player that appears in a position for the first time at Barca and being average at such could be regarded as being "great" , going forward?

Wow...Jammy Standards!!

Imo it was a painful watch. Ansu shouldn't have been there what have Torre done to piss Flick off, why sub Martin and Frenkie on etc.
It was kind of entertaining like watching a slowmotion crash.
But Pedri was fucking masterclass, Eric did more than ok, Gavi is picking up the slack, Ara still sucks, keep Ansu away pls, Shark might have felt pressure to replace Tractor, Torre should have been given minutes, Christiansen should also have been given minutes.

Ansu did alright, it's good he got a chance and we still won. Would be great to have him as an attacking option if he's sharp enough. Araujo was also really good today, some amazing blocks and interceptions. I do agree that Torre and Christensen would've been nice to see as well. But overall we did everything besides finishing amazingly.

 

[Barcaman]

Raphinha, Inigo Martinez, Kounde and Gavi were one yellow card away from missing the next La Liga match against Valladolid. Noone got a yellow, now all are in danger of missing El Clasico.

Hopefull all of then will sit out against Valladodil

Last, and worst team of LL by far this season.
we can win without them

 

[jamrock]

Should win easily without all of those against the worse team in la Liga.

But would have been smart for a few to get yellows

 

[Gazzznigga]

Garcia had 92% passing, got the only assist of game and made as many tackles as anyone in Barca team.

Good game clearly.

Mallorca made it easy but still a good game.

Defenders are rated more on stats such as interceptions made; aerial duels won; tackles made; clearance made; duel won %; fouls committed in dangerous places; etc;.

Only someone with a pedestrian knowledge of football rates a defender only on pass accuracy or goal contribution.

They should sit out this game anyways. Especially the first three to be rested for the second leg.

 

[Andresito]

True but if that's the case then they might as well could've been suspended for Valladolid.

 

[BusiTheKing]

Flick strikes me as too wholesome for those yellow card schemes.

 

[BerkeleyBernie]

Everything that has been missing in the past few games— intensity, speed of ball movement, accuracy, good combination wall passing. Sorely lacking in finishing but everything else was entertaining.

Olmo continues to be my favorite current Barca player by some margin. Clever, creative, technical, efficient.

Fort and Fati impressed. Fort seems far more clever and technical than Balde, though lacks Balde's burst of pace (likely the primary reason that Balde starts; no idea why Martin starts over Fort). Gavi continues to be solid.
