Spain

[BerkeleyBernie]

It's Malta and Norway.

No Thiago, no Isco, no David Silva. This is mostly a bench team.

Why did he call seniors like Ramos, Alba and Sergio and leave Thiago, Silva, Isco at home? Two of those have nothing to play for this season.

 

[DonAK]

No Koke or Saul either.

 

[tacticvarium]

Lucho is just Shitverde 2.0
Poor tactics, no structure, shit player scouts

 

[Andresito]

Let's hope he gives a rest to Busi and Alba.

Don't understand some of those (if not quite a few) call ups from Lucho. One of the most average looking (at least on paper) NT call-ups that I can recall in the recent era. However given that we are playing the likes of Malta and Norway (all due respect to both) some of the names called up make sense. Although I suspect that our U-21 team would defeat both of those NT teams.

Anyway typical of Lucho as he is a new coach and is "experimenting" whenever possible.

A bit of a shame that the likes of Alba, Busquets and Roberto could not rest.

Very happy to see Fabián Ruiz get his first chance and also the likes of Hermoso.

No Thiago, no Isco, no David Silva. This is mostly a bench team.

Didn't David Silva retire from international football too?

Worst Spain team in decades

co-sign...what an absolute lack of talent. These youngsters better pay off or else Lucho won't be around for long.

 

[Morten]

We are playing against Spain away?
This is going to be great, cant wait!

 

[soul24rage]

Busi and Alba are playing

Bob on the bench.

De Gea---Navas, Ramos, I. Martinez, Alba---Parejo, Busi, Ceballos---Rodrigo, Morata, Asensio

 

[raedkuwait]

Morata Aasensio !? Why would he play Morata 😂🤣

 

[Zidane82]

Spain are playing like we used to

 

[jairzinho]

Ceballos, Busquets and Parejo. One of the slowest midfield trios you can find.

 

[xXKonan]

When you look at the Squad and XI, you can just say "Yep that's a Lucho XI"

Just one of the weakest Spain XI's in ages.

 

[BerkeleyBernie]

Anyone who thinks this bench squad is a bunch of scrubs...

Still technically miles above. Nice one-touch passing, not the static game we've come to expect from Barça.

1-0
