Lliga | Round 22: FC Barcelona - Valencia CF 2-2

[Hardy]

Rakitic will be the only one who will play every game in this tour de force

OK, these are reasonable rotations. Over the rest of the season, we do need effective contributions from all the players in today's starting lineup. Now they need to show they can do the job against a Europa league level of team. Arthur and Alba might be needed to come in and save the day.

Well, with Busquets being suspended there is no room for more rotation in midfield.
btw.
Piqué: 2610 minutes played
Rakitic: 2477 minutes played

not a bad lineup. Credit to EV for rotation especially with Alba who I believe has to be rested. Hopefully we get some goals in the 1st half so that the likes of Suarez and Cou can get some rest.

Chat is up

Wtf was that on the counter attack? No excuse for such shit

 

[pregra]

Don’t like these new shoes Messi is wearing. His close control looked sluggish in midweek as well, not usual Messi control.

How was that not a foul????

How was that not a foul????

It was .. Rakitic out of position and too slow to recover..

Rakitic, Roberto and Vidal was never gonna end well ..
Messi not looking too good at all today .. and don't get started on Suarez .
Only Elena looks as though he's interested

 

[pregra]

Just have to pray that Lyon knocks us out, we’ll get embarassed against anyone fairly decent. Out of gas in February as usual. So effin irritating that we care about the Copa.

 

[Zidane82]

Classic Roberto cock up

 

[ThwiX]

Game over. Fuck Roberto and this defense. Rapid players against a team with no pace. This is why we won’t win the CL again.

Team is shit, lucky as hell vs Sevilla. Also lucky to beat Getafe and Girona away.

Three or four of our slowest players all on together

 

[Altomonte]

Valencia well rested and Barça not yet recovered from Sevilla match. Cope del Rey not worth losing La Liga and risking CL
