Liga Round 21: Villarreal - FC Barcelona 0-1

[JamDav1982]

Go 11 points clear having played 7 of the 9 in top ten away from home.

Win this and can see Xavi rotating next week at home to Cadiz.

Hopefully Pedri and FDJ controlling from deeper tonight and Kessie trying to hassle Parejo.. not that rate Parejo but Xavi does and probably be same way go against United but it being Kessie v Casimero for physical battle and stop him bullying the game.

That Villarreal lineup (and esp the back line) just doesn't like pace and pressure. Put them under pressure from the start and we should have an easyish night.

They do step up against us at the Sardine Can usually though.

Win tonight and there's just no way we lose the League.

 

[Horatio]

I am a simple man. I see Balde in the starting line-up and I am content.

 

[JerseyAddict]

Crush&destroy. Simple.

 

[JerseyAddict]

Jesus Lewy.... Wtffff

 

[Zidane82]

Sad to see so many of their team going down holding their faces - laughable

 

[JerseyAddict]

We need 2nd goal to seal this win

 

[te amo barca]

We're lacking 1v1 quality upfront, it's really tough without Dembele's creativity.

 

[Barcilliant]

Damn. Our defensive record is a mirage. If other liga teams had any quality upfront we would be conceding alot of goals. The stats are misleading.

 

[Jaguar]

We were absolute garbage in the final 3rd to finish the game off. Happy with the narrow win but still annoys me. Normally Id say we were unlucky to not score more but we were just poor.

 

[mc_lovin]

Brilliant, brilliant result. Fully expected us to drop points.

 

[First0]

Where did the midfield go after the 1st goal? It's been happening all the time and I'm getting sick of it.

 

[Gnidrologist]

Another destruction by 1:0. Nice feeling to not be bothered by shit defense anymore. On another hand, finishing moves are absolute crap. So many wasted opportunities.

 

[JohnN]

Midfield playing without intent to control in second half is probably on Xavi. But, he is certainly not at fault for Lewandowski missing sitters left, right and center every game. We would be cruising 3-0 every game if we had finishers.
