What a routine display at very difficult venue for us (Sevilla stadium). The only cup, that Lucho lost last year now on the way...!
I said it before and say it again: Barça is one team with Dani Alves and another without him. Dani projection on the right used to push the opposing team back. When the team used to converge to the right, because of Dani, that left Jordi Alba and/or Neymar free on the left (yes, Barça is missing Neymar, as well.) Messi misses his old partner, Alves. it is hard to understand why we let Dani go!!! In addition, what is Sergi Roberto doing? He is playing not to make a mistake. He does not project himself on the right. He gets the ball and gets rid of it, like a hot potato. He is making a very sure pass. However, it does not help the team at all.

This.
What?
No he is notRoberto is just a short term solution..
What?
I agree.. We gonna miss Dani very much.. I do hope we solve this RB problem next summer.. Roberto is just a short term solution..
We played solid today, 1st half was bad, Sevilla was pressing hard but we managed to defend their attacks.. Then a better performance in the second half, scored 2 goals and made the second match just a formality, I highly doubt we can fuck up 0-2 advantage at home.. Also hope Neymar is back soon.. Perhaps it would be better if Munir started till Neymar is in Rio.. Glad we won the match today.. First trophy of the season coming up soon..
It was Alves who wanted to leave.
They got tired from pressing and shut down completely in the 2nd half. Very reminiscent of Bilbao against us in recent seasons. The Sevilla fans must be disappointed from what they've seen so far, though it is still very early and it can only get better from here.
