La Liga | Round 24: FC Barcelona - Cadiz 1-1

[wisconsincule]

Nope. That is also why they showed the line at the moment Griezmann touched the ball. To show Dest's offside position.

That makes more sense.

I thought the match was at 22:00. How did we do in the first half?

you lost nothing

 

[malvolio]

Were basically at the same pace/level/intensity as against PSG, just that the opposition is much worse.

Quite worrying.

On the plus side, if this were rugby, we would have 15 points worth of conversions.

We are at the same pace/level/intensity as one year ago.

Progress

We somehow manage to butcher any half decent opportunities and rely on free kicks/penalties to score.

The line-up is horrible btw, same team as vs PSG, with fucking Busi, Pique, Lenglet starting.

Cadiz parking the bus the entire 1st half , except for one moment right after Barca take the lead and they almost score.

Yup, not sure what point Koeman is trying to make with it really.

A nice game scenario for Barcelona, playing on the offensive half all the time, gaining corners, keeping the ball.
I think however that De Jongs and Pedris movements are still not the right ones most of the time, Messi+Griezmann and even Dembele are also getting too deep to get the ball, mostly not at the right time. And Dembele and Griezmann are just too piss poor with the ball, they cannot even play the safety pass safely, and are totally useless at making something happen as well.

The synergy in this team is just nothing special. There isn't one play where you can say "ah they've drilled this a lot, this is a good one," something where every pass, run, movement is on point, like a signature play if you will. Doesn't exist, it all just looks like we're making it up as we go. Disorderly and chaotic.

The team needs Puig and Trincao

 

[Windhook]

One thing is certain - Cadiz will score at some point. No way the disaster duo CB gets away with a clean sheet.

 

[FCBfan22]

I seriously hope Araujo returns ASAP.

We need at least one decent CB.

 

[serghei]

That should have been a yellow for Lenglet. 2 mins in for me... and is already clowning around. Incredible.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Thing is Busi is the best player on the pitch. The only matches he can shine in.
Has nothing to do but to distribute the ball 30m from goal without any pressure. Everyone blows right past by him on counters but Cadiz is not really trying to attack so no biggie.

They SHOULD have scored. Defensive error, Pique giving the ball away like a dunce and we survived by the skin of our nuts.

 

[serghei]

Looking at how Pique moves out there, I already regret wanting him back...

Araujo - Garcia can't be worse than this.
