Lliga | Round 33: FC Barcelona - Atletico Madrid 2-2

[mc_lovin]

Rakitic has been absolutely shocking today. But unlike other players, he's allowed to drop several disasterclasses in a row before being even slightly questioned.

Hes invisible.

Can we try Griezmann in Vidals role?

Our brand of football is garbage. Outside of Messi. What the hell are we doing?

I barely noticed him today. He knows how to hide in game.

Rakitic needs to be subbed off... Or Vidal for that matter, what a stupid penalty to concede...

Even more than invisible, he's actually put himself in pressure situations today and had some horrible turnovers/bad passes. No wonder he usually tries to play as such a coward, doesn't want to expose himself outside of his element.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Assists? The only player in the box is Suarez who is completely missing from the game. Maybe if we have Lewandowski or Harry Kane dominating the box we could talk.

Suarez already looks like a retired player. Yea he can score if the ball falls next to him and he doesn't have to run. But things get very complicated for him when movement is needed in an action.

Cmon. We have seen his last pass. It's not good. He can't cross either. Otherwise quality player.

 

[kattanib]

Puig is the only one pressing.

We seem to have forgotten that we need to press once we lose the ball

We seem to have forgotten that great players are developed and not dropped from heaven. Develop them and groom them to your style, play more La Masia players

He had our best chance.

Carrasco is manhandling our defense, making Pique and Vidal his little pets.

 

[serghei]

For me, best performers are Puig, Semedo and Messi. That side has been by far the most active and threatening going forward.

Lenglet very good as well. Vidal, Rakitic, Suarez the worst.

We just don't have the players who can control the game (besides Messi). It doesn't help when we have no players with pace who can dribble by their team.

Vidal has been far worse than Raki. a trainwreck.

He can't play too much, guy has a fatigue problem right now.
He is a sub, but with FDJ out and Artur transfer saga we have no one else

 

[serghei]

We badly need a young athletic tank of a midfielder to cover for Messi. And don't have him doing too much offensive. Just keep that player in midfield covering the ground in order to fill the gaps Messi creates.

 

[JamDav1982]

Messi looks hungry again but far too much giving ball away and trying to force it to Suarez.

This set up is shambles.

Almost like a 441 with Messi going wherever he wants.

No team plays possession football with this type of formation.
