Kind of mysterious how our passing game just vanishes at a certain point in games :lol: Otherwise phenomenal performance. Generally I am very happy with him so far considering our overaged defence, inexperienced talents in midfield and the motley crew in attack.

First time we are really seeing what he can do with a half decent team.

imagine if fati was fit & firing up front,
Busquets was dropped for someone who can cover ground, we would be looking like real contenders.

Bayern and Liverpool would never entertain the likes of Alba, Alves, Busi and Pique in their team.. Barca play all four and they dont have legs to play 90 mins.

Yet they were great .. all of them .

I thought Steg was poor and Aruega was to blame for their first goal .. he ran back but did not even try to block the shot . His challenge was the same as the one by Felix on Alves when he scored

It was never a red card offence plus it was after the flag was waved and whistle blown .. the Atletico guy a yard away had actually stopped running as play had stopped ..

Busi was horrendous.

Pique was woeful on first goal.

Alves was good on ball and terrible for Suarez header and got red carded.

Alba was decent throughout.

All play their age and give up aspects of game to have them in team. Clear red you are trolling or clueless and it makes no difference if whistle had gone anyway.

90 minute player ratings

Looks like it is you that is trolling

I do not agree with their rating for Alves - far too harsh - he was influential, great assist for Alba and scored a great goal ffs



Marc-Andre ter Stegen (GK) - 5/10 - Beaten again on his fragile right hand side.

Gerard Pique (CB) - 7/10 - Punching the ball into midfield with a purpose that permeated throughout the team.

Sergio Busquets (CM) - 6/10 - Not the only anchor in midfield with Alves often cropping up behind him, although he peppered his performance with a few uncharacteristically sloppy moments.

Jordi Alba (LB) - 8/10 - Superbly provided the width on the left hand side as Gavi drifted in field.


Ronald Araujo (CB) - 6/10 - A stride behind Carrasco for the game's opening goal, Araujo took his goal well but was grateful for some generous finishing from Felix at times.


Dani Alves (RB) - 3/10 - Undid all his good work with a boneheaded and bizarre attempted tackle.
