La Liga | Round 8: Alaves - FC Barcelona

[BerkeleyBernie]

De Jong can be a very promising CB. Should we...

Honestly, that's the truth. He plays more like a Barca CB than a midfielder.

How good is his shooting? If he is bad at them, I can see why he passes.

I've no idea mate but when he's 20 yards outside the box with a clear shot on goal he should take the risk.

99 times out of 100 we would win this game. So much superior to Alaves and gifted them their goal.

Another night it's an easy 3-0 or more win.

Super frustrating, not going to dig further into things as it's one of those that you can't let the disappointment overwhelm.

Prime Messi would have scored 3 goals against that team. The good old days. Xavi-iniesta-Messi toying with teams like that.

 

[El Gato]

Shite shite and utter shite. Get everyone out, from the players to the club shop employees to that fecking Pepe Costa guy. Start 100% from scratch

 

[FC433]

Not too worried because the season has just started. A few key changes should improve us a lot.

- Busquets should not start.
- Play players in their positions (Griezmann should play on the right side if he has to not the left. Pedri on the left side not the right.).
- Adding more attackers will not create more chances (would decrease them, actually).

The season is lost. Refs won't let RM loose their edge. No way Barca can outplay Refs and RM. The difference is to big.

 

[Neeraj]

Disgraceful. Hardly created any chances against 10 men Alaves. Messi was shocking today.

 

[PhilS]

Well, maybe top 6 in La Liga is unrealistic this year. But, if Barca can focus on Copa, maybe then can sneak in there and win it, which could still get our guys into the Europa league next season.

8 points difference with Madrid already ��

This will be over soon.

Nothing to do with the refs , the squad of players and another clownshoe of a manager are the problem. the team is in free fall , sooner Pep is back the better.

Unbelievable again points lost lol.WHat is Pique doing at the front, he cant shoot the ball.

 

[Kul_z]

I cant remember when was the last time we had 25 shots.
We were watchable, not gassed out and alaves was hammered in every department except in that most important one. We lack goals and were unlucky, busquets should never ever start again. Overall, id rather lose points while improving our gameplay then win with shitty football while downgrading and waiting for another embarassment in cl. Im pretty optimistic that when the goals come and they would we would be a decent force.

Suarez is greatly missed, the fat fuck would come handy in as a sub in those kind of games

Teams that are a mixture of teenagers and 30-year olds usually don't win the big trophies....

 

[Marshall D Teach]

Juve lost to this
