Lliga | Round 24: Eibar - FC Barcelona 0-2

[henias]

The thing is I thought EV figured out about Rakitic, but somehow he's playing him wide like he did on day one.

Awful stuff. Our form has gone down a cliff since that Betis match. Not a single player except our goalkeeper is playing close to their A game.

if chelsea keep messi quiet we wont have any attacking threat against them

It's not like Chelsea have a relentless defensive midfielder who doesn't get tired who can man mark Messi, oh wait they do. We are fucked

 

[serghei]

Some of you are unbelievable. Before the game you wanted to rest players and give fuck all about the game because we are so far ahead, now we're winning and preserving energy for Chelsea and you're mad because Eibar is dominating us. I mean, what the fuck!?

Doesnt look good for tuesday. We've been trash for a whole month now and there is no sign of improvement so far.

 

[mesiesta]

Posession

Eibar 55%
Barca 45%

That tells everything, shitty teamplay

 

[ThwiX]

Some moments of sheer brilliance by Leo and a good finish by Suarez. Not much else to take away from that half. Eibar looking dangerous with more possession than us. Probably deserved to score even. Need to get our shit together in the 2nd half or this will be our third draw in a row.

 

[dakt]

The amount of wrong passes, lost balls and clumsiness is incredible. Luckily Messi is inspired.

 

[serghei]

Eibar are taking the game to us against our best XI. If we wanted to "preserve energy" players would've been rested, Valverde is clearly going all out for this match.

BTW it is also possible to preserve energy while not getting dominated and keeping possession. This isn't a one off either, we've been utter shit for a month now.

We want to preserve energy and win. And that's what we're doing.

If we played a 2nd string formation we'd preserve energy and draw or even lose.

 

[henias]

I wouldnt be surprised if Iniesta is dead tired against Chelsea.

Good game, Eibar shows Chelsea how they need to play us next week. Hope EV does some quick substitutions.

 

[tacticvarium]

How is this exactly "preserving energy for Chelsea"??
Again, defensive football costs much more energy both physically and mentally and we are indeed being dominated by Eibar.
This is not LOW EFFORT at all.

Had a nap time and forgot about us pap?

 

[Sorin]

Lucky as fuck. We were again spared a penalty.

Let's see how the second half goes.
