La Liga Round 3: Rayo Vallecano - Barca 1-2

[Masetro10]

Can we do away with defenders diving when in a tough spot and getting a free call everytime

I like Raphinha this season but fucking hell the less time he actually spends on the ball the better

He rushes absolutely everything.

His final ball been poor tonight so far as tries to do everything at 100mph.

 

[Andresito]

Why does ref blow those fks?

 

[ThwiX]

Jesus, control your arms, Kounde. Playing with fire considering the ref.

 

[JamDav1982]

Bernal and Pedri been far too sloppy.

Ferran doing nothing.

Raphinha flattering to deceive.

Lewa as ever a man down unless gets near ball in box.. cant link play, cant press and cant run in behind..limits team tactically.

Kounde as usual look an average defender and average on ball at best.

After the cooling break we were good. The less said about what we did before that the better.

 

[Loki]

It's difficult to win with 3x 17 year olds + a completely useless winger. Flick needs to bring Olmo right now for Ferran, move Rapha to the left.

A bit sad for Fort. I had huge hopes as LB

Looks too watered.

 

[Jaguar]

Ferran off, Olmo on.

 

[Masetro10]

Raphinha to the left side. Put in Balde. Fermin/Olmo need to show up and start hammering shots at Rayo.

Passing it wide and messing around for 30 seconds is not going to save this game.

I actually like the general way we play - fast and with purpose to break the lines. Getting into their final third at will and rapidly. The problems start, when there. All around sloppy, rushed passing and there's clearly lack of good 9 (yeah). Lew is only good, when served a free shot. otherwise he's more hindrance than asset. Ferran does nothing. Rapha bullrushes everything. Kounde not good offensive fullback etc. With that kind of pressure and better attackers, we should be 3:1 up. Lamine been sublime and Bernal cool as a cat.
Also, need to remember that these players are not used to play that way with Xavis handball and cross inshallah approach. Need time to develop chemistry for central combinations that were never coached last 2 years.

Home field advantage is becoming a joke. But if you say anything they call you Grass-Man Xavi

Martin having a clanger though.

Thing is for Fort, needs to put all his efforts into proving he can be a top rightback. That's where his break is going to come. Especially if/when Inigo goes down and Jules has to move to CB.
