La Liga 2017/18

[ThwiX]

Valencia had it coming with how they have been playing recently. Good job, Getafe. Very strong at home this season.

 

[Ousmane Dembélé]

Well this weekend went better than I thought; we drew and we still managed to gain one point over Valencia and Madrid hasn't gained any more ground on us.

We just need to take a point on Bernabeu. Maintaining an 8 point lead over Madrid after the clasico on Bernabeu would be big. Madrid will have a lot of pressure in that game. They need to win, but to also make sure they don't end up losing, because at -11 with h2h disadvantage it's almost end of the line for them in La Liga.

Obviously need to beat Villareal now. Valencia and Atletico are dangerous. If Atletico keep Griezmann and add Diego Costa they will be a major contender imo.

Just 1 point will be hard in Madrid. Barca need to sit back keep the ball and hit on the counter.

Zidane the clever mean he is will try to hit Barca on the break. Alot of the goals they score and other teams are like this.

I wish sometimes Barca would wisen up, sit back, keep the ball and frustrate the hell out of Madrid.

Sweet, so Napoli, PSG and Valencia, 3 undefeated teams all lost this weekend and City right now losing to West Ham.

Atletico did though.

Atletico did though.

They're still 6 points away, not too concerned about them, they'll drop more points soon.

Funny how I asked this question just yesterday:

Irrelevant stat but how many European teams can say they have been unbeaten since the season start?

But Man City equalized just now.

 

[Barcaman]

So we stumbled against Celta and yet extended our lead

 

[BarcaOG]

hard to be cheerful about it. we have been very fortunate that other teams' results have tended to favour us, but that is simply luck and out of our hands

Red card for Getafe this will be an easy win for Valencia

Didn't look easy. Didn't win it too.

That isn't luck, that is things going according to peoples' expectations. Barca is having a good run so far. If you think that still isn't enough you are expecting Barca to run a perfect season. That won't be necessary though, since other teams won't either and they will drop points along the line as Valencia did just now.

I know, I hate when my predictions are wrong

 

[Ritchie]

Well, the team haven't got as much complacency this time around but they definitely aren't as strong. If we could somehow maintain some lead over the second placed team, and also manitain the head-to-head in classico till January transfer window kicks in, we can maybe have hopes. But then again that is IF the board have sense enough to strengthen the team in January, else we are doomed

It's easily wiped out though. An 8 point lead can go in 3 games and we have 3 tough aways ahead.

RM will have 3 tough games as well and they still have Club World Cup.

 

[jairzinho]

Interesting turn of events i must say.

Even Villareal got their asses handed to them. Leganes is definitely the biggest surprise so far.

Good thing we got off to a flying start.
