Lliga | Round 34: Villarreal CF - FC Barcelona 1-4

[vegitot]

Rm can drop point but not losing. Draw is the best result you can expect. Their offense is not special but their defense is the key

 

[Porque]

Villarreal are on a great run since the Covid break. 5 wins and 1 draw with clean sheets in 5 games out of 6. They traditionally compress the space at El Madrigal (or the Ceramic stadium or whatever) and give us a tough time, and I don't expect anything different tonight.

I'm expecting us to drop points considering we have drawn 3 out of 6 and have had a leaky an*s in the last two games. Maybe even our first loss.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Yeah. We would need miracle from Athletic and then from Barca.

 

[soul24rage]

League is lost.

Rest Busi, Vidal and Braithwaite for the rest of the league matches and play the ones who can play vs Napoli.

 

[serghei]

Play Fati, and Puig. Would be terrible not to play the youngsters now. Try Griezmann as no9 instead of Suarez, even though veterans would probably not pass to him because he is not Suarez.

 

[vegitot]

Setien's late subs incoming

 

[Daisymorr]

Fati and Puig need to play the rest of the season to give them confidence going into next season. Older players such as Vidal & Rakitic should shown the door. Their time is up. League is clearly over, time to get the team primed for the CL. Do whatever is necessary to have Messi and Suarez ready for the big CL games along with he youth and energy of Fati and Puig.

 

[soul24rage]

Not only Fati and Puig, but for guys like Collado, Monchu, and Araujo.

We desperately need the squad depth next season.

Yea, sounds good. Araujo played well vs Mallorca. And crooked Umtiti is done... the sooner we get him ready the better.

We desperately need the squad depth next season.

Not sure how much money the club has to spend this summer, must be one of the main reasons Messi is so fed up. He knows the team is not at the required level to compete with the Bayerns/City if they hit top gear.

Youth needs to be given its chance now to see what can potentially be brought through to the first team from the youth teams.

 

[Giginho75]

We had EV...a good coach...
Probably not the typical Barca coach...
But, at least, a coach!

With him in january Barca was first...
Probably not a great Barca...
Maybe too many points lost far from Nou Camp...
But, at least, we were ahead!

Anyway we got rid of him!
To take who??? Pep? Klopp?
Absolutely not...Setien!!!
A coach who got the best result in his career with Las Palmas (!!!)...
If I remember well a position in the middle of the ranking some years ago.
But, according to many people, he had a perfect playing way for Barca!!!

No words!!!
Worst choice of board ever!!!

P.S. Champions League is a lottery...
Especially in August...everything can happen, but opinion doesn't change.

 

[MTL_Barca]

League is gone, just play the kids

League is gone, just play the kids

This. Play a full Setien lineup, 3-4-3, something entertainment. I'm sure all of them know league is most likely gone.

 

[ronniecro]

i don't want to see deadweights in first 11 anymore,so bench suarez,greasemann,alba,rakitić,busq,vidal and play with youngsters,maybe we would see some exciting football again

 

[xXKonan]

Rac1 says Griezmann will start with Suarez and Messi.
