Lliga | Round 13: Atletico Madrid - FC Barcelona 1-1

[Theconomist]

Me constantly defending Valverde is what it took for you guys to admit, that yes, Barca is a team that coaches itself and as such, being Barca coach is one of the easiest jobs in the world.
Good that we agree.

Who Is we guys? I only represent myself. Coach still picks the team, Messi should just be made coach at this stage.

Vidal on the left wing

 

[Zidane82]

Arthur is a star

 

[Zidane82]

At least Rakitic's side and back passes won't be missed.. Sergi Roberto is filling that role perfectly

 

[Vahue]

Garbage 1st half.

 

[fergus90]

Snoozefest so far.

 

[Devils]

He's gonna sub Rafinha on.

Christ, Valverde is a coward...We don't even have enough pace to get our counters passed the halfway line and he's gonna sub on Rafinha.

 

[ThwiX]

Some decent stuff from Leo so far. Not much else from the rest of the team. Rafinha coming on instead of Dembele says it all really. We are happy with a draw.

 

[Barcilliant]

He's gonna sub Rafinha on.

Christ, Valverde is a coward...He don't even have enough pace to get our counters passed the halfway line and he's gonna sub on Rafinha.

Typical Valverde

 

[mladenq]

pretty sure only retarded Valverde is happy with a draw

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

I think we were the better team but it's so boring. Atletico knows how to make games noozefests.

 

[Barcilliant]

Why is nobody pulling the trigger when we reach the final third???

 

[Leong157]

So boring. Oh my god, we were 2 vs 9 around their box. Any no-corward decent manager in the world would have put more players in the front third already.

 

[eaman]

I thought this might happen. Two big teams with lots of players back from international duty and a little out of sorts and one team trying to stifle the game. I think we're lucky we're not playing a lower table team with no internationals away from home.

 

[Leong157]

Why is nobody pulling the trigger when we reach the final third???

I believe because they were told that way. Pull a trigger means there are chances we got counter attack. Cowardre would not allow that.
