La Liga | Round 7: FC Barcelona - Real Madrid 1-3

[El Gato]

Casemiro for sure will come off for Modric soon.

Don't think so. They'll probably leave him in considering someone needs to be rotated in for Huesca so red won't make a difference. They'll take their chances I imagine.

 

[MagIX]

Finally it seems we have found a very promising LB.
Bad performance from Couthino and Busquets.
Fati and Messi very good.

 

[Vilarrubi]

Real goal summed everything up that is wrong with CB/DM area of park.

Lenglet drawn out, Pique gets drawn to ball and Busquets just stops tracking run.

Madness that that trio still playing after so many shit games. Should have bought CB.

 

[Marie-Antoinette]

So who was the best this half?Pedri?Lol.I may be a Messi fanboy, but at least i am not clueless like you regarding football.

He wants to be part of our 'Messi fanboys'group' but struggle to be accepted. He's sticking like glue still. Very annoying. It remind me of nerds during high-school.

If Madrid were a good team they would be a couple of goals up. They don’t reach the depths of Bar?a but they are not a good team.

Could say the same other way round... if Barca were a good team would be a few goals up.

Two very poor sides for this level.

Worst level of Classico can remember. Barely any player on park is best in world in their position bar Messi and maybe could argue Ramos. The rest are not even close.

 

[ContraryIan]

I would bring Grease-Man on for the ever unreliable Coutinho.

 

[xXKonan]

Time to end the Busi-Pique-Lenglet triangle.

Like for fuck sakes all three are too slow and can't deal with anything that is remotely pacy and physical.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

There's honestly sonething wrong with Barca managers where they have natural wingers but they dont use them. It's always this slow monotonous style of play and especially painful with Busi playing eVery single god damn match,where every other top team plays their best and fastest wingers.

Yep. We are living in the past. You don't win with slow/sterill ball control anymore, especially with this team..

 

[serghei]

What do you mean he was disappointing?You compare Messi of now with Messi in his prime.You shouldn't do that.He literally had the biggest impact on the match.Most dribbles, that pass for Alba, the Courtois save.But carry on on shitting on Messi.Who it'll be the scapegoat next year?'Cause Messi is leaving.

I'm comparing Messi with what he is paid. He is the best paid player in the world playing like not even a top 10 player. That's the issue. His wages need to be reduced drastically. I mean at least a 50% cut.

 

[wisconsincule]

Anyway, Messi needs to be moved to CF. Get Coutinho back in the middle, Fati on the left, sub Trincao/Dembele in for Pedri.

Yeah I would go with this move as well.

A good half all things considered. Dest has been great!

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

We don t have a ST.I would try Dembele instead of Pedri.His pace can be helpful.

We would struggle defensively with Dembele on the pitch. Some other subs would be needed. Dembele could be factor X though.

No wings philosophy started by Valverde.

Just seen Real's goal. Busquets casually jogging in the park.

And I have to say Pedri Coutinho and Messi is too much imo. Bring in Trincao/Dembele .

Level doesn't matter. New players need to grow into being something or being nothing. Standard part of the cycle.

True yet City is offering him similar wages. He is worth that much if teams pay him.
