Sub out Pedri and protect him

Nice goal by Olmo.

How is that not a red?????

Atleast I learned a new rule today. You can use your hands if you are on all fours.

 

[Masetro10]

Bernal has some Rodri type bangers in him. Solid shot

 

[El Ilusionista]

Bernal is a freak

 

[jairzinho]

10 minutes extra is crazy wtf

No doubt— Flick-ball miles more entertaining than Xavi-ball. Barca fun to watch again. Much more trying to work balls through the middle with slick passing.

Only with certain refs

Very much still a work in progress for obvious reasons, but we're entertaining without particularly playing well. And the fitness levels look impressive.

It's all on track though. And you can see the squad needed a managerial change and a new air.

I think a lot of it is just putting players in positions that suit them and not forcing some dumb positional play system.

He is trying to suit the tactics more to the players attributes and not putting square pegs into round holes.

End result : 3/3 with great performance so far. The only thing we're missing is some more clinicality as we could have won these games by bigger score.

The kinda game you have to grind out,like I was saying in the match chat.

Rayo is always a bitch to play at home

 

[jaype]

Ref's a piece of shit. Great game, this team has me excited for the rest of the season.

 

[M3ls]

I think Bernal tore his ACL.

Agreed.

It's actually a bit of a throwback to the old Barca before tiki taka got indoctrined.

A bit like Bobby Robsons Barca. Alot of relentless attacking, with what looks like a weak defensive.

Fun games. Quite literally if you score x, we will score x+1.
