La Liga | Round 19: FC Barcelona - Real Sociedad 2-1

[JamDav1982]

Pedri and FDJ top class but they have all worked and moved and clearly want this win.

Also, Mingueza - Araujo is a better CB pair than Pique and Lenglet.

Just absolute warriors the two. Probably not as skilled as Pique-Lenglet combo but mentality is a lot better than those wimps

 

[Rory]

Probably starts from having 2 centre backs who don't shit themselves every attack

Messi needs to stay just a bit closer to the box and he can score some goals today. He arrives too late in the box and that's why he didn't get too many shots.

 

[Vilarrubi]

Well deserved lead.

I like the guy but Braithwaite is so limited. He’s just fast and fairly physical, link up play and finishing is well off for a team like Barca. Need a proper 9 ASAP.

 

[Barcaman]

Well deserved lead

 

[Total-Football]

Good football.. Some players don't have world class technique but got the shit going better than the world class dinosaurs. Promising.. I hope we build up on this although this barca taught us never to hope

Just can't believe what i saw tonight. What a great display overall. We were playing fast and brutal. Saw so much aggression and pressing after a long time. Even Messi was pressing like crazy.

Yea, let them play and get very confident and we might even see some skills. No CB is born confident on the ball. Mingueza is not great yet, but he is focused, and the man can get physical without looking dumb like Lenglet. And Araujo is athletic, we didn't have a CB like this for a good while. A bit like a young Rafa Marquez.

 

[gasgas]

Looking good today. I'm amazed

Messi is staying deeper but not so bad today as FDJ, Pedri, Griez and Braithwaite all busting a gut to get ahead of him and into the box.

Well deserved lead.

Lol and Griez has been good? Most dangerous attacks came from MB9's side

 

[Horatio]

So many good takeaways from this game, also forgot Sociedad is la liga leader. Messi is also looking better gradually further in the season. De Jong found his role.

 

[Total-Football]

The best 45 min this season.

Obviously.. And by distance

 

[Rory]

Braithwaite's mentality is great, if he falls over he's up on his feet in a second running at the opposition again.
