Really nice of BarcaUniversal to leave out the big chance created.

Not all his fault, and not all the fault of any of the players for that matter, but so far it seems that he's a different player when against actual competent defenders.

Scored against Atletico today. This might be one of the craziest career arcs ever. He has gone from being deemed not good enough to play in the Segunda at 22 for Espanyol, to scoring against the likes of Porto and Atletico in Europe, in only a year. Was a career 3rd division player before...

The rules are very clear. If the ball is deflected onto your arm directly from your head it is not a handball. But no doubt will be used by Xavi to hide from criticism as per usual.

Valverde beat these clowns when they were good with Carles Perez up top and Wague as fullback. Now we can't beat them when they're 9th, without Brozovic and Lukaku, and with Dembele-Lewa-Raphinha trident. Not great signs.

Frankfurt twigged onto our wing play system first and doubled the wingers with the 5 ATB. The dumb Spanish coaches mostly haven't but in Europe they all know that is what silences our attack now.

Cannot play against 5 at the back. His saving grace is that most Spanish teams play 4s and try to play open football so we just beat them based on our quality.

Here comes the crying about the refs, instead of calling out the team and manager. We have lost to a very weak team, they are not good.

Celebheights has him at 183 and those guys are usually very obsessive and accurate with these things. His freakish build makes him seem really tall.

They're missing their three best players as well as being in really bad form.

Penzema

I think most people have given him his credit for how good he is playing so far this season.

He is the main reason we don't concede anymore. A huge improvement on last season.

Agree with you on everything and voiced this exact same concern last year about 5 ATB against Xavi's system but one disagreement : Not many LaLiga teams will use a 5-4-1 block like that because a lot of the managers in Spain are stupid idealists who want to play nice football and pass around...

Have seen reds for less than the kick in the face he gave Lee at the start, but he didn't even get a card. Lucky.

If Balde and Pique played for Madrid Barca Twitter would have crashed the app with their endless whining about refs.

I watched many of Spezia's games last season so I know Kiwior very well. Last season he was played DM despite being a natural CB and did well there as a destroyer type, great stamina, great in the tackle, tenacious, but weak on the ball and carrying it, passing not great etc. He had one of the...

Gavi was 16, a few months later Koeman gave him a start in a LaLiga game. Pimienta didn't even give him a single minute in those playoff games, he probably could have made a difference. Nico also was playing for the first team a few months after. Pimienta made some weird tactical changes...

Manaj has a long term injury no? Also Puig would probably still be a superstar in third division lol.
