Griezmann recovering possession at the 20th meter and building up play. First Barca match of the season I watch and I'm pretty impressed with him.

by BarrileteCosmico Sun Aug 25, 2019 9:17 pm

Well deserved goal by Perez

by BarrileteCosmico Sun Aug 25, 2019 9:21 pm

And the Busi-Alba connection comes good again, this time leading to a good Alba goal against a shocked keeper that he didn't cross.

Is Messi still injured? I thought he was training with the team?

by BarrileteCosmico Sun Aug 25, 2019 9:29 pm

Training and match fit are not the same thing though. If he's not playing I think we can safely say he is not match fit.

Don Valverde winning 5-2 without Messi and Suarez in dominant fashion and giving debut to 16 year old kid. Don Valverde. :bow:

by Myesyats Sun Aug 25, 2019 10:37 pm

Gotta love Rafinha, Greaseman and the rest for trying to play with flair in spite of shit tactics

Carles Perez looks better than Dembele too, in all honesty

Valverde and Dembele DIMISION

Saw the highlight. Too bad at defending it seems. The score is flattering. Griezmann did superb and so did Perez.

How was deJong overall ?

by BarcaLearning Mon Aug 26, 2019 7:20 am

De Jong hasnt been good this and the last match imo, hes still settling in I guess. This game credit to the team we won comfortably, at times it looked quite easy actually we had so much control. I think as soon as we conceded the team responded immediately. We are so good at home.

Need to be cautious though whether this was us really being that good or Betis was just too weak. We still conceded two.

by futbol Mon Aug 26, 2019 10:04 am

We conceded 2 from 2 half chances. Their first goal was their first chance of the game after Busquets squared the ball to the wrong guy and their second goal was a bad pass from Griezmann which resulted in a wonder strike.

We already conceded 2 unstoppable wonder strikes in 2 games.

Messi will be a month away from action. Yesterday, he had a physical problem while continuing with his recovery process. [rac1]

all these steroids are sweating out of his body ffs

Think the news is not correct.RAC is just bad.

by Myesyats Wed Aug 28, 2019 12:16 pm

Yeahh, he didnt have a relapse but recovery is going slower than expected

by alexjanosik Sat Aug 31, 2019 4:32 pm

Perez ball watching on the goal :facepalm:

I hate when our forwards put in half assed effort on defense. You just cant do it in the modern game. The game has changed too much. All players have to defend for 90 mins.
Second game in a row clear penalty not given.

by alexjanosik Sat Aug 31, 2019 4:34 pm

I get the feeling that refs have been instructed to referee loosely against us this season. Seems every half decision goes against us. Clearly there seems to be fatigue against us winning.

by alexjanosik Sat Aug 31, 2019 4:38 pm

Ridiculous refereeing.

by BarrileteCosmico Sat Aug 31, 2019 4:45 pm

Umtiti warming up, wondering when the last time he played for us is?

by alexjanosik Sat Aug 31, 2019 4:49 pm

Make it another penalty. Alba exagerrated but still clear contact.

by BarcaLearning Sat Aug 31, 2019 4:55 pm

Havent been so hopeless watching Barca in a long time actually with that first 45 mins, it was just hopeless.

Its clear as long as Valverde is here, we will stay mediocary, and can just rely on the briliance of our stars to get results.

He sticks with Busquets-De Jong-Roberto midfield, which ur not gonna get much creativity out from vs the better organised opponents like today, especially away. Then ur hoping for Perez and Rafinha plus the FBs, who are just not good enough again vs the good sides. Perez cant even beat 1v1 his marker. Our FBs works only when they play with players they are familiar with. Injuries yes, but u still expect more from a manager under the circumstances to think of something new, which Valverde proves again he simply cant.

I just hope this poorest start to a season in forever already doesnt cost us the league already.

by BarcaLearning Sat Aug 31, 2019 5:19 pm

Good to see Arthur making a difference already. But Fati and Perez despite the goal, Grizemann is like what are I working with here :facepalm:

by BarcaLearning Sat Aug 31, 2019 5:23 pm

Loool, Arthur and De Jong is gonna be the future for us Very Happy

by alexjanosik Sat Aug 31, 2019 5:41 pm

Non existent foul. After that leading to a penalty.

by danyjr Sat Aug 31, 2019 5:42 pm

Refdrid

Where is @Harmonica when you need him? Proud

should've been either a yellow for diving or a penalty, neither just invites speculation

I'm buying more and more into this theory by the end of the match

by BarcaLearning Sat Aug 31, 2019 5:46 pm

Fati apart from the goal has not done anything, he looks like a B team player... why is he even in the squad?

by BarcaLearning Sat Aug 31, 2019 5:48 pm

Yea that you go, Perez doesnt know to pass, all his knows is to shoot or cross, our three points gone there ffs. These players dont belong in the Barca first team squad ffs.
