Barça's starting XI: Pinto, Alves, Piqué, Adriano, Alba, Song, Iniesta, Cesc, Alexis, Messi and Tello.

Great game by Sánchez so far, looks like a totally different player.

Óliver Torres Shocked

- this guy's a genius. I remember him in the U17 European Championship, he definitely caught my eyes more than the rest (Deulofeu, Alcácer, etc.)

Alba shows how mediocre he is. Guy's got zero composure on the ball, can't defend and suffers from poor decision making. Definitely not a defender. I can see why people want a LB to join this summer.

It was a disappointing game to watch. I'm glad we got the 3 points now 3 more wins and will get RM 100 point mark, but I see us getting stopped in those three games, the defence and teams overall performance has been woeful. It seems Tito, took out Pep golden rules, move up steadily, and move up together. As well as the whole team contributing in attack and defence, but that has been non existence this season.

I don't really think we quite care about the 100 point mark, and even if we reach it, we won't score 120 goals. I personally felt Tello was the better one in our front line. It's a bit worrying that Messi got re-injured, I hear he is definitely out for the rest of the season.

The switch to the 3-3-1-3 was interesting for this season and it worked wonders.

Oh and can we please stop starting Adriano? No point really, give his time to Bartra.

Messi injured again. Terrible way of managing his injury.

Agree. Thought the change in formation really gave us an extra spark and its a shame we dont use this so often...
I don't understand why Adriano is playing at CB at all especially when Bartra has played better than him in the CB position... I feel like maybe Bartra will go on loan next season with the way this is going...

I couldn't watch the game. Only 3 responses so far? Did anyone else even watch Sad

EDIT: That's a bit better

Also, who cares about the 100 point mark? Or any record for that matter. I'm sure Barca doesn't as well. I wouldn't be opposed to pretty much purely youth right now.

I wanna see some JDS before he imminently leaves.

I did. Was a meh game. Both teams didn't look like they cared much. Tito played Alves for the 11th time in a row until he finally went off injured. Only a few minutes later Adriano (who played at centerback ahead of Bartra for no apparant reason) had his obligatory injury as well. Tito used up all his substitutions in the 60 minute mark. Then Messi went off injured. Then Barca played with 10 men and somehow turned a 0-1 into a 2-1 victory. The end.
