Lack of goal line tech after what hapoened last season is a joke. Sure enough, two weeks into this season we already like 3 or 4 cases wrong goal line calls :lol:

This Barca have adopted possession as a defensive tactics first. The amount of risk we take in our passing is minimum, which is why Valencia has had very little of the ball without Barca creating many chances. But playing like that still gives you more chances to score than the opponent in a relatively stale game, of little chances, because there's a player called Messi on the field. He alone would pretty much guarantee you 3-4 important chances per game.

Zaza has been very good in work rate and pressing Barcelona defenders and hoping for mistakes to happen but when he had the chance in the final third he's been wasteful.

Players should have told Neto we'll sign him if he confesses to the ref that there was a goal there.

Hope Messi scores in the last second of the game and then celebrates with a Real Madrid shirt just to take the piss out of them and their referees.

Valencia have woken up to start the second half. Also, if Guedes keeps this up and he'll be a starter at the World Cup

Barça had a 3 on 2 counter there and Messi just refused to run forward. He looks tired.

Much better game in the second half

Great goal! Gaya and Guedes have been class. Would love Gaya down the left for us, we are so bad at left back (although I'm fond of Young)

Valencia!

I've had a soft spot for Valencia since the Cuper/Aimar/Mendieta/Kily Gonzalez days. It's fantastic to see them doing well again. Massive credit to Mercelino.

It's a huge shame they lost both CL finals.

This is what good fullbacks do, cross the fecking ball and not hit the opponents player.
