Spanish Supercup: Barca - Sevilla 2-1

[Devils]

This is still pre-season lol.

MAtS, Suarez, Messi, Busi, Dembele haven't had any pre-season yet whereas the others have.

Strange that Cou is not there though.

That's the message I got from this line-up. I love Luis but for his own good and ours he nees to sit out a few games this season. A tired, legged Suarez is a detriment to this side at times, he's not a kid anymore.

Yeah. Every single player that returned on Monday is on the bench. Except Suarez.

And why would you discard Malcolm for Vidal, who is still not 100%...

 

[Trickykid]

where is Coutinho?

Reports would have it that he got injured in a freak accident involving a tooth pick and his scrotum.

 

[EdmondDantes]

where is Coutinho?

Like, Raki, Umtiti, etc. He's only been back for a week. Unlike Messi, Pique, Alba who have been back for 2, they don't have the legs to start a game, Suarez shouldn't either...but he's a special case it seems.

 

[GOAT_SUAREZ]

Malcom deserved to start in front of Dembele or Suarez.

Malcom couldn't be in the squad because Barca hasn't confirmed double citizienship for Coutinho yet. Sevilla threatened to not play.

 

[Stoichkov1]

2 weeks. He returned a week early.

Not true, he returned one day before Suarez and Coutinho arrived.

 

[soul24rage]

I think JC should have started and Malcom should have been on the bench at least for Vidal. I'm not sure about Suarez starting as well.

 

[Joan]

Wanted to see Malcom play. Shame. Vidal's ready to play, I suppose.

 

[FCBfan22]

I think Valverde really didn't like Munir in trainings. He was playing the same lineup multiple times in training, except Munir was there for Suarez.

 

[soul24rage]

is match chat going to be on?

 

[xXKonan]

This lineup was pretty accurate from the reports and training this week.

Except with Munir was playing instead of Suarez. Guessing Valverde thought Suarez was the better option.

 

[clemente]

Malcom better be shot or dead, no other reason to not put him on the bench above Munir or even Suarez, please don't tell me EV is about to take a shit on another youngster.

It's pretty fucking obvious that it's a precautionary measure in regards to the non EU player debacle, isn't it?

It's pretty fucking obvious that Coutinho has a EU passport now, isn't it?

Could have easily been on the bench instead of Vidal.
