FDJ is a star. Guy just oozes star quality.

by alexjanosik Sat Sep 21, 2019 9:10 pm

Karate kick from Soldado gets just a yellow.
Wow

Only at DM. He's been very poor as a CM.

Soldado with another red card offense. Predictably doesnt get booked.

by alexjanosik Sat Sep 21, 2019 9:15 pm

I think refs have clearly been instructed to officiate against us this season.

As much as they whistled for Barça last season, this year your assessment seems to be true.

I feel like you guys have been saying that for the better part of the last decade hmm

Who said that? No one said that. It seems they want a different winner which is understandable and hence why refs have been asked to officiate against us.

Semedo shoulder to shoulder barge is considered a foul Laughing

This referee Laughing

by alexjanosik Sat Sep 21, 2019 9:24 pm

Case in point. A legit shoulder push is a foul whereas Granada have been getting away with such all game.

by Thimmy Sat Sep 21, 2019 9:25 pm

Vidal

by danyjr Sat Sep 21, 2019 9:26 pm

This is the worst referee to have officiated La Liga in years. The penalty is thanks to a no foul by Semedo rofl

by alexjanosik Sat Sep 21, 2019 9:29 pm

Non existent foul leading to another goal. Its a pattern that I have observed since the start of the season. The 50-50 calls going against us and even the clear ones going against us.

by danyjr Sat Sep 21, 2019 9:35 pm

Agreed. It's Madrid's year this time.

EV is one of the worst managers I've seen in a little while. This man turns any player he touches to sh!t. Get this trash out of the club.

by danyjr Sat Sep 21, 2019 9:55 pm

Still wondering how he kept his job after getting thrashed and outplayed by Liverpool and Valencia in last season's most important week.

by Myesyats Sat Sep 21, 2019 10:01 pm

Waiting for Valverde to get sacked..........

by Winter is Coming Sat Sep 21, 2019 10:05 pm

The players...most know there time is up might as well scratch his back and he theirs. He's a beta manager, no charisma, no drive. Has made no improvement to a single player as far as I remember. Choking the 3 goal lead two times in a row is unacceptable.

by alexjanosik Sat Sep 21, 2019 10:09 pm

Disappointing result. Not happy with the starting lineup or the subs. He continues to insist with starting one of Busquets and Rakitic. Neither should see the pitch again. And subs out Perez who was one of the better players. Suarez should have been taken out instead who was atrocious. Guy sticks to the right and creates width so no question of clashing with Messi. Take out Suarez for Messi, Play Griezmann central and Fati left.

by alexjanosik Sat Sep 21, 2019 10:11 pm

Small glimmer of hope are the talented youngsters in the squad. Likes of Lenglet, Arthur, FDJ and Fati. Midfielders like Puig and Alena as well. Squad needs a clearout so that youngsters get a chance. Two of Busquets, Rakitic and Vidal need to be shown the door so that the other young, dynamic midfielders get a chance.

by danyjr Sat Sep 21, 2019 10:14 pm

Ernesto Valverde out.
Max Allegri in?

Agreed with pretty much everything, although I still reserve my judgement regarding Lenglet and Arthur.

by Myesyats Sat Sep 21, 2019 10:37 pm

Arthur is great all around, better each game. Him and Frenkie are not the problem. Lenglet is bench quality. Shouldnt be a starter.

by windkick Sat Sep 21, 2019 11:01 pm

Max kinda has the same approach as EV but is just better at it. In other words it would be a small side step

by alexjanosik Sun Sep 22, 2019 4:01 am

Do think we have genuine reason to be aggrieved about the result. While we were poor, it was a very dry pitch and we had 3 decisions go against us. The 2 goals should not have stood and Soldado should have seen a red twice. A karate kick which only sees a yellow and a knee to the head which goes unpunished. Both were red card offences.

I like him. He was very shaky for us when he started but he has won me over. He is not elite but he is still very young for a defender and has shown constant improvement with us. Plus, he has the mentality to play for an elite club. Guy watches videos of opposition forwards he faces in his spare time.
