Thoroughly deserved I think.
La Liga - 2015/2016
- Thread starter jojojo

Good goal, great assist. Game over.
They deserve the lead for sure.
This is the Jonathas we know of last season.
Atletico: Oblak - Filipe Luis, Gimenez, Godin, Juanfran - Gabi, Augusto, Saul, Koke - Antoine, Vietto.
pretty defensive lineup, but not the worst idea to be careful against Celta Vigo.

Celta Vigo had a good record against Atletico last season. 1 win and 1 draw.
I got confused for a while until i see the game. Thought Augusto was playing for Celta Vigo.
fantastic goal from Griezmann. Great combination with Vietto.
Took a break at HT and missed the goal. Didn't realized the game had restarted. 
Griezmann is absolute quality.

Thanks mate. Nice work from the two.
Greizmann really is excellent.
Simeone warned at the sideline lol. Second time.
Raining heavily now. And windy also. This can be tricky.
Superb goal.
That Griezmann goal is a beautiful piece of teamwork, incisive passing, quality movement and great vision.
Brilliant goal from Carrasco.
Celta are incredibly reliant on Nolito... their form has dropped remarkably since he got injured.
@PedroMendez please post the Carrasco goal also if you have it.
Seems like it. They also lost Augusto who was their engine in midfield. I think he is a very big loss.
Simeone doesn't play bad football. He plays amazing, quick and relentless counter attacking football built on an industrious, well drilled and aggressive defensive system with a lot of pressing.
Love it. Looks as good as on tv. Better than youtube.
Pepe Mel has been fired. When I read the news I thought of Van der Vaart . Has he done something this season?
I'd forgotten he was there. I think I've seen him once since he arrived and he didn't do much. I feel like I've heard a few times that he's "just starting training again" after some injury or other.
I have a question for the la Liga experts, how good is Valencia's Mustafi? Things like his passing range, technical ability, defensive IQ, etc. would be interesting. He never played in the Bundesliga so I have a hard time evaluating whether or not the rumours linking him with Bayern have any credibility.

he is an idiot. Don´t read his tweets and you are better off.
He was in La Liga disapponting team of the half season.
I really like Mustafi and am a big fan so much that i'd like to see him with the armband as i feel he is a better candidate for a leader than Parejo. But i don't understand why is he constantly linked with Bayern Munich, mabye because he is German but i don't think he is good enough for them atm, maybe in future who knows. He does not excel at any one thing like Otamendi(who is exceptionally good at timing tackles) but is fairly well rounded and improving in every area. He is very good in the air despite not being so tall, passing is ok, awareness is good he does make the occasional mistake. Have to say though that last season he organized the defense very well especially when the team went 3 cbs at times either starting or changed to mid game. The tactics allowed Otamendi to do what he does best, which is 'go after' his targets while Mustafi organised the line. As im sure now City fans are finding out that Otamendi likes to go hunting and is very very good at it but there has to be an organizer for what he leaves behind if he is to play the same role at City. From what i have seen Kompany also likes to play hero so we will see how well that partnership works. But there's no doubt that Mustafi gets better every season. He is 23 years old and has had close to 3 full seasons in Serie-A and La Liga, can't be that bad right?

Sevilla 2-0 up at halftime. Two goals for Gameiro.
Valencia vs Rayo just kicked off at Mestalla. May finally be Gary's first Liga win.
Should.
1-0 Rayo
Oh dear.
I wouldn´t be surprised if Gary is getting axed if he loses today.
ps: great to see, that Sevilla is back on track. I really like Unai Emery as manager.
