Inevitable

Another magnificent performance by long legs. Pen will certainly be given

Only a man as stupid or pig-headed as Cowman would fail to see that a 4-2-3-1 relies on wing play. CowMan does not like Dembele that is clear. Expect Greaseman for Pedri.

I would bring Grease-Man on for the ever unreliable Coutinho.

If Madrid were a good team they would be a couple of goals up. They don’t reach the depths of Bar?a but they are not a good team.

Astonishing that trio is our defensive core. Lenglet is a disaster, Pique is error prone and Busquets is a grandad.

Get in line ;-)

Please Lord spare me from Busquets

Other than de Jong there is ZERO pressing. I take that back. Dest has been brilliant.

La Liga TV commentators are getting all tumescent about the quality and magic of the Classico. But in reality this is garbage. Neither side is any good. Bar?a are especially useless.

Yiiss!

De Jong static. Team vulnerable all over the pitch. This could be a hammering for Bar?a>

Great defending as per usual. Lent let is dogshit.

Don't understand the lineup. Could Fati start as a 9? Messi on the right = completely free attacking left flank for the evil empire. Presumably Coutinho remains central and Pedri on the left?. Puzzled.

I’ve said it before but... Lenglet is a ball player not really a defender. Having said that he made a couple of important penalty box interceptions tonight in the second half.

Quintessential Pique that red card.

Yeah, in the same manner that I am arguably slower than Usain Bolt :lol:

Generally I am in agreement with the criticisms. There are times when Firpo exhibits a football iq of around 70. Tonight was no exception. But... He did improve after a very shaky start. He makes really rapid off-the-ball runs and I feel that with intensive coaching he is not quite a write-off yet.

He doesn't even have to learn Spanish. He only needs to learn football Spanish. So yeah Fifa would probably work. If you speak French, Spanish conjugation is essentially identical. French is the only Romance language where the personal pronoun must be used but otherwise the same. Speaking in a...

If he plays this weekend it will be on the left. Only a true moron insists on playing Dembele on the left. It works about as we'll as playing grease-man on the right.
