Sandpit Copa de España

[Morten]

Just two more games vs Atletico, unless we also draw them in UCL...

 

[Birdy]

Lucky scums.
Let's smash them in the Final like last year

Best case scenario really. We get an el clásico (hopefully) and Madrid played 120 mins.

 

[DonAK]

How many games have Diego Simeone cost Atletico with his Stefan Savic love affair?

I hope we one day find out why he's so obsessed with this bum.

Guess who will be playing 120min + Penaldo shootout with one day less rest

As someone else pointed out, what happened to the defense of AM?

They score more now, but they used to be hard to break down.

You get what you deserve

Anytime you attack more, you leave your defence more open. It's pretty much the same with any sport.

 

[El Gato]

They were toughest to break down when had proper fullbacks. Now they kind of opt not to set up with a back 4 oft times

If our team doesn't wake up, we're gonna get folded like a lawnchair in the final (assuming we make it past Osasuna).

 

[FC B]

Would have been better to lose to Atletico in the final but it is what it is.

Exactly. Atm the best scenario is Osasuna going into the final so Madrid will beat them not such a shit Barca, again.

 

[JamDav1982]

Steady.

Real were not that great yesterday.

 

[FC B]

Barca is atm too shit of a team to hope something out a final agasint Madrid, imo.

Reality is you would probably love Real to give Barca a scudding in final so pressure increases on Xavi though...

 

[El Gato]

Of all Barca matches, this is the one we won't care for and never really have
Made Barca look better consistently in this comp and they always cared for imaginary bragging rights in this one more than us
Reckon we'll be drawing or losing if Kepa keeps form. Then again Bellingham proved he doesnt care about weight of the match and might well make it different

Suspect we'll definitely prioritise saving selves for R16 of Copa if we're 2 down at any point for whatever reason more than trying to chase it
