Lliga | Round 15: Espanyol - FC Barcelona 0-4

[Neeraj]

Exactly. I hate this attitude. I know he is trying to keep his players humble but it sounds stupid. He should set us even higher standards, not lower them.

I don't even think it's this. I think he's just lowering expectations of fans, and if you keep saying it, at some point, psychologically, you DO lower expectations. It's just another parlour trick of Fraudverde.

Expecting a game with a lot of dirty play and fouls. Pretty much always a draw or a narrow win away to Asspanyol. Tough games.

Seems like Cou is on the bench today for Dembele.

 

[pepi]

Im strangely excited for todays game. Hasn't happened for a while

 

[xXKonan]

Cou Dropped to the Bench.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Makes sense. Coutinhos been average lately.

 

[Raketa10]

Cou Dropped to the Bench.

He deserved that.

 

[Givenchy]

fair lineup, glad Vidal starts

 

[Barcaman]

Suarez will play even on crutches. Maybe he needs to decide to recover for himself as our manager doesn't seem to call the shots.

He received a medical clearance so why wouldn't he play? We looked quite awful without him.

Expect to see this line-up (with the Coutinho - Dembele caveat) until Roberto comes back. This includes the dead rubber match vs Tottenham.

Vidal will be benched for Arthur for sure...

Moises Llorens guy who covers Barcelona for AS was at the Bar and heard someone say Coutinho is the Brazilian Arda.

 

[Gari]

Barça bench:

Cillessen, Vermaelen, Miranda, Aleñá, Denis Suárez, Coutinho & Munir.

Surprising to see Dembélé was chosen over Coutinho
