La Liga | Round 1: FC Barcelona - Real Sociedad 4-2

[El Gato]

When do we play RM or AM? I want to see how good this team shapes up against the better ones. If we beat either at first encounter, we might also go to QFs or SFs in CL.

Atleti away 2nd Oct
Valencia home 16th Oct
RM home 23rd Oct

Think on paper we still beat you by 1-2 goals if all are fit and in-form
Need to be wary of Depay, but he's kind of a Salah ATM and experienced defender like Nacho with Casemiro and Carvajal helping will do ok

Messi leaving seems to be the best for both parties overall.

 

[Xaviniesta]

that dive from depay

 

[Zidane82]

Same defender whacks Depay .. still no yellow ..

Our strength ( weakness ) in depth is an issue if the refs are gonna allow all these fouls ( continued from Euros) .

 

[DonAK]

I'll wait a bit to see how we perform next few games. We smashed Real Sociedad 6-1 away last season too.

 

[Rassvet]

Griezz out, Bernardo Silva in

 

[serghei]

The workrate in attack and midfield is shielding the defense very well.

 

[DonAK]

Griezz out, Bernardo Silva in

Don't need a player like Bernardo Silva in this team.

 

[Bobo32]

Griezmann needs to do more

no, less!
He should run more intensely to press in a smaller space, and he should focus on finishing and combining in the final third.

 

[Zidane82]

Two ManU rejects playing tonight

 

[Horatio]

Pjanic playing for sociedad?

 

[henias]

Messi leaving seems to be the best for both parties overall.

We smashed Sociedad last season. It'll have to take a few more games to see where our team stand. Not to mention their performance in the CL.

Pedri looks tired don't know what others are seeing but he needs rest.

Pedri looks tired don't know what others are seeing but he needs rest.

Koeman will ensure he picks up a chronic knee injury or something at this rate. It's what 65 games non stop?
