Lliga | Round 7: Sevilla - FC Barcelona 2-1

[arjunanand1]

We are screwed for this season. Let's face it, this season will be a dead loss

It's a bit early to say that, at this point last season we were about to go into meltdown mode from what I remember. Just praying for a quick recovery here...

New strategy for the next game, try to concede within the first 5 min --- seems to be the only way this team gets going. At least that leaves most of the game to get back into it, not 25 min. My late grandmother would have found a way to score out of that Sandro chance.

Our Defense cost us again just stupid Mistakes by Mathieu yet again and With Pique also being off form it's just Unbelievable.

 

[Obiaseti]

Barca were a better team but luck wasn't on our side today. Sevilla were in their usual fanatic mode when playing vs. Barca and did well to time waste.
Lucky win for them.

This. We hit the post so many times not to mention that bizarre free-kick. Sometimes it's just bad luck and this was one of those games. Not too worried about the team yet.

 

[Flavia]

A good 1st half, but so many wasted chances. And again the defense collapsed. Emery's subs made Sevilla weak, they lost their counters.

Everyone's form is worrying, apart from Roberto. Neymar had some glimpses, but he isn't suited to the creator role. He's best as he was played last season.

We started the season so slow and all players looked tired before we have any injures .

So,if Real beats atletico,how may points behind will we be?

I'm just totally downhearted at the moment. Tried to stay positive but sometimes, reality sets in. We ain't good enough at the moment and real class teams will waste us. I am dreading the clasico

There are worrying signs...fine we are weaker without Messi, who wouldn't be. But, Lucho needs to modify tactics, you can just put player x instead of Messi and hope everything stays the same, obviously you are much weaker.
Second we looked very good in the last 25 mins, our intensity is obviously mental thing, again something Lucho must deal with. If we didn0t start to dominate in the last 20-25 mins they would probably have close to 10km more covered than us.
I know our defence (last 4 and goalie) sometimes look, well, funny, but most of those mistake happen when oppositon is runnig to them. Everyone who ever played even one match knows how difficult is to defend in those situation. Where is our midfield?? So much holes left! They are getting overrun, maybe Lucho needs to think about that and change to 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 to crowd the midfield more.
We need to stay in touch until second part of the season, if we manage to do that we could still have a great season.

3 woodwork, 1 wonder save , 1 unbelievable missed opportunity , second half defensive blunder = 1-2

How can you not be worried? We're in Oct and we have half the squad injured and the rest are out of form, bad first touches, poor shooting, defense is garbage.. We gave Emery his first win ffs.. We're a joke around Europe right now. Nobody fears us, Bayern, Real nobody.

The thought of even playing RM at this moment is making me piss my pants.

I think we were much better team than them
I actually think Neymar was gr8 tbh ,he was more free and he embraced the role better than I thought ,Suarez was awful IMO .we need both to be in form
Rakitic gave plenty of gr8 passes ,mostly wasted by Suarez too .
Mascherano & Busquets midfield doesn't work .
We lost Messi,Iniesta for injury and their main sub was Rafinha who was injured b4 them .we had to play Munir and that alone is huge step down in creativity and ability to make something .putting Mascherano in midfield makes it worse
I hope until one of Messi/Iniesta return S.Roberto is our starting CM .which is weird to say considering even few weeks ago I thought he sucks at that position

What about Bravo now, is this his mistakes? Because many of fans are complaining Ter Stegen!
