La Liga 19/20 - The new Era

Beautiful football it's just bad football ffs

When was the last time neither Barca or Madrid made the semis?

If La Liga were to be played only on away soil, Barca would be straight relegated.

And it was all home games we'd be fighting for Europa League

A system player, nothing more

Not even Madrid fans should be happy on Barca getting eliminated

What an abysmal performance from Madrid. All these comments around the internet like "don't worry its only the CDR", this mentality is the reason why Madrid are never going to be treble winners. This loss was all on Zidane underestimating Sociedad and not making the appropriate changes early in the game.

Real usually dont take the Copa as seriously though as us, just look at the past winners and records. They always aim for the CL which is more 'prestige' that way they can hide the fact that we are better than them in the league

For the Barca game, I dont know what Setien expects when he plays Roberto RW, I mean how this guy keeps starting games and doing jack all is beyond me. Fati is 17yo and u cant expect him to do much. Just goes to show we should have kept Malcolm. Messi basically has to score all the goals somehow. Clueless ppl running our club till todays status which is a shame. At this rate I know its just rumours but I wouldnt really be surprised if Messi did get frustated enough to just leave like he did with Argentina lol.

Watching Madrid vs Sociedad highlights. Vinícius reminds me of Gervinho at Arsenal. The guy was a master at beating his man but my god his final balls were so bad. Same with Vinícius Júnior, so many times he left his opponent on the back foot but then he would shoot out of target or make the wrong pass or misplaced pass. And consistently so.

Also imagine swapping Keylord with Alphonse fucking Areola

At the age of 19 Vini has consistently put all our attackers to shame with his fight and taking initiative. Even if his decision making has been suspect. Yesterday he had 3/4 players marking him and constantly put them on their backsides. Had we managed to get that equaliser, his performance would've been up there with Neymar against PSG. Shame on the rest of them

What's the point of dribbling and running... when there's no point to it.  I'd rather have a player who does things with specific intent as opposed to being braindead.

Yes, I'm not a Vini fan or low IQ players in general regardless of talent.  95% amount to nothing.

We all hope he improves on that.

The referee scored?

be very funny if you werent the first to complain how Pool never gets pens and writing "VAR failing again" every 2 games

And then bringing up "statistics" when folks are saying Liverpool is being favoured by refs. That's Pool fans in a nutshell really.

nice win for getafe. very happy for them, wish i could have caught the game but i thought getafe would lose or it would be a nil nil draw so didn't bother

They ripped Valencia to shreds. Never seen them have so many shots this whole season. Dominant win

We have a chance of going at least 5 points clear today with Barca playing away without a striker and Pique suspended.

I wonder why Atletico and Simone is still sticking with each other. The partnership has clearly stagnated or regressing. Are they replicating Arsenal/Wenger model of being satisfied with just CL spot (and the money it brings)?

Raul De Tomas is single handedly saving Espanyol from relegation. What a beast!!

its easy to fire a coach but who do you replace him with? number two, atleti are not necessarily the creme de la creme of club football where there are managers lining up waiting to get a call from them. in that relationship between atleti and simeone, simeone is the successful one. arsenal's letting go of arsene hasn't exactly worked wonders for them so far

In Argentina Pochettino is believed to replace Simeone at the end of the season.

It's early, But R. Madrid already down (1-0) and surprise surprise, Bale started and is reportedly injured 12 minutes in.

(Parece que Gareth Bale se ha hecho daño en un centro desde la derecha. Ha llegado algo forzado y se ha quejado del tobillo.)

I'd let Bale leave for free. Words cannot express how shit he is

You'll have to pay him off though lol

And it will go towards FFP.

They should have tried to loan him out or let him go to China on a free.

man thats a bummer when your best player gets injured like that.

So do Bale fans and British fans still thinking selling him is unjustifiable? Completely ineffective against Osasuna, and Lucas effing Vasquez has been much more effective than Bale.

We are not missing anything without him

Game set match, great goal by Jovic

Betis, on to you.

I forgot that Jovic can actually finish like that, good damn volley. Good game of football tbh. Osasuna were very much up for it but talent gap was too much.
