CL | Round 1: FC Barcelona - Ferencvaros 5-1

[fergus90]

Even when Fati shins a volley he places it in the corner of the goal. Clinical.

 

[serghei]

Decent performance against a crap team. But even in this match the CBs were owned several times by that only standout player from Ferencvaros.

 

[messi2140]

Trincao been great after those bad 10 minutes.

Lenglet was shambolic throughout.

 

[KingLeo10]

You guys won't obviously be satisfied with much of this, but even this Barca offense with Trincao who had 2 games and Ansu is performing better ATM than anything RM can muster.

Clasico is likely to be down to whoever scores first as neither team seem to be comfortable enough fighting back.

And if Real don't get a convincing performance tomorrow, it's a wrap.

Edit:
Did Ansu just do a 'newborn kid' celebration?

Ffs he's 17!

RM still has a higher gear in them than Barca, especially now that Messi is mortal.

 

[Neeraj]

Agreed. Some good football in the second half of the half but getting owned at the back on kuktipkr occasions by an absolutely low quality team is more than concerning.

Need Araujo paired with Pique.

Lenglet the worst, Pique pretty bad as well. Messi, Trincao, Fati were good. Midfielders were ok. Fullbacks decent but with nothing special.

Yeah, our CBs lack speed/quickness. We need better. We can't play suspect defense like this with these defenders.

 

[FCMessi]

what happens when the dead weights are removed

Griezmann and pussyquet

 

[Vilarrubi]

Defence is shambles. Pique/Lenglet/Roberto all turn like a truck.

 

[El Gato]

Maybe. RM are good enough defensively to withstand a surge here and there, but I'm not comfortable with either Nacho-Varane or Odrio-Varane having to deal with Fati. Ramos is in liability mode for some reason again. Casemiro has been inconsistent. Odegaard is out, Benzema MIA, Asensio still showing he doesn't like to play off-ball a lot, generally the lot are being useless since the season start. So unless we play the diamond with Jović as a swerve, I don't see us coming out with anything of value.

 

[serghei]

Well, on the bright side, Madrid and Juve are even more bland than us.

 

[xxxxxx]

As expected. We dominate the absolutely terrible sides at home. I fully expect us to beat this team away. But against Kiev and Juventus home and away is where it'll be much tougher.

 

[Neeraj]

I've been saying this for a while. Both pique and lebgket and nowhere near good enough. I cannot believe we haven't bought a CB. Anyway i dont mind writing this season off save the money and buy one WC CB, one young CB, and hopefully Araujo can be the third CB. Long legs okay for a backup and pique needs to retire.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

True. We need more athletic defense if we play high line .
