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

Bit less of Netos pumps up the park this half though.

That was getting out of hand in last 15 mins or so. Pass, pass, pass until back to Neto to lump long.

Crowd were starting to whistle it.

Sociedad with 0 / 0?

Neto also requires recognition. Starting material for sure

Porto had a blocked shot.

mixed half overall. some good effort but not much cohesiveness (expected). griezmann started well, missed some chances and then went into hiding.

depay is good, but doesn't have a high IQ player to combine with, like a certain lionel messi. also i see he gets fouled often. hopefully he doesn't get injured.

Who was good with passes, no saves so far.

Few pages back I said this is a counter attack formation

Do we think De Jong will play further forward all season? Or will he take the number 6 role?

Koeman originally said he wanted De Jong as the no.6

Porto had a blocked shot.

That doesn't count though.

Didnt get the chance to save shots i guess lol

Neto makes me nervous. I'd rather he hoofs the ball than try to play it short at all costs.

you went overboard mate. the guy didn't have a single shot to parry. his distribution was kind of shit.

 

[Horatio]

Yeah his distribution is lacking

It's clear that Messi was holding back this team.

/s

There's pros/cons to having current Messi on the team. But it was best for both to end the relationship. The team has more synergy because they actually have to have a game plan besides routiing everything through Messi. Greizmann is still a clown though, never should have been bought.
