Barça - Legia Gdansk

1-1 at half time, we played quite badly.
Sergi Roberto scored our goal and is knocking the door down.
Sergi Gomez, dos Santos and Messi the underperformers.

Tello injured had to be subbed by Roman. Seems a very minor injury.

Sergi >> Traitor

What was Bartra thinking with those 2 passes and the first 1 resulted in a goal

I love Sergi Roberto's runs.  

If tata and the spanish internationals are not here what is the point of this match? Isn't the pre season supposed to be used to prepare for the season? Seems to me that this is of very little value and they are taking it like that.

What do you mean? They are Bartra specials.

Bartra especials? what are you on?

We change all the team except messi, starting to overplay him even I'm friendlies. Ridiculous.

Have you ever seen Bartra play, no?

Probably 10 times more than you.

This Polish team has great tactic, when ever there is some danger grab the player completely. No yellows will follow.

Hopefully we never play is such place, where teams can't even respect football or friendly mentality.

Probably not.

We need to get Neymar into the gym quick. Dude is like a feather  

What an awful game, Messi owning the defender in corner as the highlight.

What? He never lost the ball...he just got blatantly fouled because the opponant knew there would be no yellows. Dont think strength had anything to do with obvious fouls.

Harmoncia with his usual embarrassment of an opinion I notice.

Shame we wont be here to see Messi retire and you can finally stop being a "Barca fan".

Truth hurts, I know. Actually I don't know.

Sure, cause Bartra has played what... 200 minutes with the first team? And you are "always" commenting on the posts I open for Barça b games, and where I post links to watch...

I've seen him blatantly give the ball to opposition in dangerous places about 10 times with first team. What on earth have you been watching?

Anyway, moving on.

Felt the 2nd half and many of the B team guys played better than the first team, a bit like the Bayern game, but this team it wasnt just because the opponent eased off.

It also seemed to me, when Bagnack and his partner (who was that? I couldnt listen to the Arabic commentary without a headache, no offence to anyone) came on, the fullbacks got higher up and we started to control the game more.

Sergi Roberto had an excellent game with his runs into the box and pressing.

Felt like JDS and Adriano did their roles well. For me, a unimpressive defensive performance all around in that first half.

Not tactically, but individual errors from Montoya, Gomez in the set peice and Song being generally his immobile self. Bartra gave away that corner was a bad pass, but its small mistake which if we defended corners properly would of been an afterthought.

But overall, I cant help but feel an incredible waste of time for us because Martino had no part to play in the team selection and tactics. I guess it was good for fitness and thats about it.

Besides he doesn't seem to have an issue dealing with world class opposition at the confederations cup.

But no lets knee jerk after a brief appearance in pre season, beside bulking up is overrated all that genuinely happens is you lose agility.

What world class opposition did he face in Confeds? Mexican scrubs, Italy B, dead tired Spain with Lolque and Arbelola?

He will have tough time with teams that bunker down in Spain. But he will do better than Villa, that's for sure.

A bit of muscle can do him good, but without overdoing.
Bagnack partner was Planes, nice debut minutes from Bagnack.

Yeah, B-team seemed a lot crisper and faster with their passing, but they lack attacking intuition.

Yeah, Neymar can add 5-8lbs..thats cool. But that 12 minutes of action from here was not proof of that at all.

All that happened was, he got fouled. I dont care how much you weigh, when a Polish scrub rightback decieded he is going to trip you over your going to fall over.

Free, do you know the subs that were made? Without the commentary I was merely guessing at the numbers.
