La Liga | Round 11: FC Barcelona - Osasuna 4-0

El Gato

Villarato!
'It's only Osasuna' and all, but Barca looking decent today, especially quick entries from wide areas and passes onto central strikers. Braithwaite could have had two if Dest hit it slightly more onto him about 15-20 mins back.

Messi played ok so far. Only one think I didn't like.

He makes very few runs, and expects to receive the ball every time he does. That's not how it works. You make more runs and expect to receive the ball only about half the time. Not everybody plays for you.

Just make more runs in good attacking positions and you will be passed more.

Look, even there, only two runs in the box when Alba broke free: Coutinho and Braithwaite. Messi is very rarely there as an option. He usually arrives in the box only when there is a very slow and long build-up.

That's a major problem and playing like this will make sure he will have crap scoring numbers this season.

Good half overall. And this Mingueza guy is showing better level than Pique and Lenglet so far. Too bad we didn't play him sooner.

Coutinho is no Carrasco :lol:.
