La Liga | Round 5: FC Barcelona - Sevilla 1-1

[fergus90]

Koeman playing FDJ, Pjanic and Busquets at the same time is something he needs refrain my repeating again.

 

[Richard.H]

Holy hell we look exhausted, like all top teams around the world.

Ya this is the biggest takeaway from me too. How can you be so exhausted with 3 matches into the season? How are other teams so much more fresh than us throughout the season? I don’t understand what’s going on with our fitness and diet teams. Are these players being monitored off the pitch?

A super energetic player like Puig who turns around lightning quick would've been ideal in these circumstances when opposition players are breathing down your neck.

 

[SmilerBam]

Wasn't that a pen on Messi in 92nd min?
Guy clearly stomp his foot.

No VAR?

Barca is not allowed penalties.Anyway, we should congratulate Madrid for another title.They are dogshit too, but at least they don t have Busquets and VAR is their friend.

 

[wisconsincule]

I don’t get how that doesn’t go to VAR...?

Koeman won’t play him out of stubbornness I don’t think. Definitely needs to go out on loan.

Koeman is like BBZ and will never play a skinny midget. Kid is two inches shorter than Messi and 30 lbs lighter than him.

 

[XaviV]

Too many bad signs today...
not bringing in Dembele when the game was screaming for his skills.

Get it right

What skills would be those?

 

[5ergio_Busquets]

we have a collection of not good enough or unproven players and you just can't have a serious team with the likes of fati, griez, trincao, pedri, dembele, braitwaithe

Yeah suddenly they are all not good enough. At least they try instead of walking for the majority of the game and stop and watch after they give the ball away.

Why is everyone screaming for a pen? Replay shows he takes the ball first, and Barca players dont even complain for a reason.

 

[Sailor Mars]

Coutinho, Messi, and Griezmann in the same lineup isn't a recipe for success. All guys who like to hang in the middle, but aren't real midfielders or strikers.

Barca have no striker and no real Rw.

That being said, if Madrid had played the same way, they would have got a penalty via VAR. Handball not given, and that stomp on Messi's foot not given either.

 

[SmilerBam]

Messi as uninvolved as ever, pressing more than ever and this is the outcome..
Please don't blame a 33 guy for this, if you have any sanity.
We need more control.

Really bad subs from Koeman. Puig would be ideal as would Dembele. We were worse after the subs..
I am out.

What does he in Pedri and Trincao?Just because they are young?They don t seem that talented to me.Dest seemed ok.I think he may become good for us, he has that speed and energy we need in fullbacks.

 

[Corruption]

So why didnt dembele play again?

 

[serghei]

Koeman is like BBZ and will never play a skinny midget. Kid is two inches shorter than Messi and 30 lbs lighter than him.

Yea, really stupid to not put in Puig when you have issues playing out from the back. Like dumb as a brick.

 

[hardyboy]

Dembele should of come on instead of Trincao and Busquets should've come off instead of Coutinho. Bad substitutions from Koeman. This game felt like nothing has changed from last season. Maybe it was the fatigue due to playing with 10 men against Celta.
