The booing/whistling came from a series of shit passes and plays from various Madrid players. Wasn't directed at any specific individual, just the crowd venting their frustration at what was happening.

Marcelo wasn't booed when he came off but he did look upset to come off which is a whole other topic.

This is a 6 nil messi hat trick win followed by the media orgasm that prime 2011 Barca are back before getting ROFLstomped by a top 5 la Liga team in the following weeks

by Casciavit Sun Jan 19, 2020 8:07 pm

Barca out there with the 2011 Barca shape. Proud

3 building from the back, Messi in the right half space, Griezzmann in the left channel, and Fati on the outside right. Flashback from 2011 Barca positional play.

87% possession for Barca, 13% for Granada. Barca have had 2 shots, Granada have had 1 hmm

Nicely painted, must be like houses are built in Norway.

Fati could have hat-trick already.

Nicely painted? I just copy/pasted that off the live match summary. Did you perceive it as an attack on Messi or something?

Just as I thought.

Dominating half of football, Granada had nothing, Fati could've a hat-trick. Nice couple touch passing. Suarez out, Barca is definitely missing those missed passes up front.

2 shots on goal with 82 % possession. Setienball already in full force. Cool

by Harmonica Sun Jan 19, 2020 8:55 pm

Refreshing to see Barca not sleeping the first half.

by halamadrid2 Sun Jan 19, 2020 8:57 pm

No change in Barca's play. As boring as under Valverde. They are pressing alot better now but don't know how long that'll last

by Casciavit Sun Jan 19, 2020 9:01 pm

It's the profiles. When Frenkie is back there will be a midfielder who can change the pace of the game with his dribbling. Arthur also speeds up the tempo of the game. Vidal and Rakitic is a flat midfield.

Dembele is also much better than Fati and he should be back soon I think.

Only the first game but the system looks good. The goal will come.

by Kebab Sun Jan 19, 2020 9:03 pm

Boring passes are back
Also Ansu fati will be next pedro, not more than that

About time. Had more cases of diarrhea in the last decade than Madrid winning La Liga.

He is more of an impact/sub player than a starter, at least at this age.
