[Horatio]

I like it a lot too

Will match Frenkie's blonde locks pretty well.

 

[Porque]

Feels like were playing with 10 with Abde. Haven't had that feeling since Abde played against Granada.

 

[Horatio]

Abde lost.

For all the talk about the big preseason muscles of the players it does look like they're throwing us around out there.

Probably mostly the young ones tho.

 

[fergus90]

Pablo Torre looks a proper player. Definitely going to be in the first team dynamics

Pedri hasn't been fielded to show them guns yet.

 

[Bobo32]

Turned the game on to see Kessie being nutmegged and diving, and then playing away a bad pass. Nice?

edit: and then the famed "physicality" these Olot players are too fast for him...

 

[ajnotkeith]

Obviously its a friendly but would be nice to see even a bit of pressing that Xavi is so insistent on.

 

[Andresito]

I thought we loaned Lenglet out

 

[JamDav1982]

Marmol has been poor even outwith that pen.

 

[ajnotkeith]

Marmol is like a clone of Garcia. Almost identical players.

He's made a bunch of fouls this half other than that too.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Did anyone else notice Ansu walking inside the locker room? hopefully doesn't mean anything serious or that he is not playing

 

[Horatio]

I am watching it but not really enjoying it.

my spider sense was tingling rightfully.

 

[Gari]

For some reason, it is defense, as an aspect of the game, that Barcelona cannot learn.

 

[JamDav1982]

Full backs not going forward and that 'unBarca' midfield shape of two players at AM holding position for a DM to get on ball.

Not great to watch.
