La Liga Round 7: Mallorca - FC Barcelona 0-1

[Wambo]

We still have a loooong road ahead of us to be reliably good.

What a shit show individually and tactically.

It's just he beginning of October and we are already declining in form, even tho we haven't even reached peak performance. These thin margin wins are just masking what is about to happen. The WC will totally fuck up the little amount of momentum we will have left by the end of November. Players will come back injured, tired, worn out and with crushed spirit. This event, that should have never been given the green light in the first place, will be the greatest cause of ruining what would have been a decent season for us.

Messi with crushed spirit delivered us a treble.

Jesus, so many of you guys are so over-critical. It's like Barcelona can't ever have a bad day.

Did you guys watch City vs. Borussia Dortmund in the UCL? City was at least as horrible as Barcelona was against Mallorca. All teams have days like that, players are human. Barcelona has played great football in almost all games this season in all competitions, with the only exceptions being against Rayo Vallecano and Mallorca.

But remember: this is still a team in formation, and they will oscillate. That's more than expected. Xavi is doing as good of a job as it is possible for in this squad and stage of the project.
