Barca lose this they already can't make 100 points this season.
True, he bleeds red and blue though. Good we had him for a couple of seasons. He's back home now.I'd give my healthy nut to have Costa at Chelsea again.
Seems like motivation and focus are severely lacking.The teams from Spain has declined like crazy. It is insane to see it fall apart after being dominant for a long time.
Yepp it could be. I think the lack of money is a big factor of course. Barcelona have still spent a lot of money though, but Real Madrid less so recently. The rest of the league don't really have enough money to compete with other leagues for the best players.Seems like motivation and focus are severely lacking.
Yeah, his style’s not my cup of tea but he at least gets his players to buy into it.I wouldn't wish Simeone on anyone. Sucks the life out of football, despite having top class players.
He has his admirers by Man Utd fans on these boards, but fans at a top club wouldn't put up with his tactics for long, however much success he got. Presumably, that is why he stays at Atletico Madrid.Yeah, his style’s not my cup of tea but he at least gets his players to buy into it.
Thats a good pair of CBs, even though Lucas real position is not CB.Atleti still look solid despite their Lucas-Savic CB pairing
City tend to choke in CL, had a shaky start to the campaign. They aren’t invincibleYepp it could be. I think the lack of money is a big factor of course.

Premier league got most money so I guess we expect these sides to do well. Sadly we got a lot of money, but are still totally crap under Mourinho.
Bayern, Barcelona and Real Madrid are not as strong as they have been. I like underdogs doing well, but they are so weak I even feel bad for them a bit.
I guess the stars have come together to give City and Pep that champions league title. They are the odds favorites already, but I just don't want them to get a treble so I just hope some other big teams can step up. Juventus the best hope and I dislike them a lot too haha.
He’s a great leader. Players love playing for him.Yeah, his style’s not my cup of tea but he at least gets his players to buy into it.
I love it, much more like La Liga was in the late 90s.The points are extremely low in the league it's bizarre. Seville is having their ordinary season. It's just hilarious out of 39 points Barca have 25 and Madrid have.. 20 ? Ridiculous. Barca won only about half of their matches. Unacceptable.
It makes the league more competitive. Just speaks poorly about Madrid and Barca form.I love it, much more like La Liga was in the late 90s.
Can't get into leagues where the top 2 or 3 shoot 90 + points as has been the case for most of last 10 years.
Might nick 4th but I'd be amazed if they finish top 3. Their defence is much more stable than last season though. Machin is manager to watch aswell, did very well with Girona last few years.Is Sevilla finishing on second place realistic? Or do you guys reckon they are gonna get catched by Atletico eventually?
Is it because Barcelona & Real Madrid have declined, or because their managers are not up to the job.It makes the league more competitive. Just speaks poorly about Madrid and Barca form.
Both. Valverde is a terrible manager imo, for anyone who watches Barca knows that.Is it because Barcelona & Real Madrid have declined, or because their managers are not up to the job.
What? Valverde's a good manager and has proved that through a fairly extensive career... he's not really suited to manage Barcelona but that doesn't make him a terrible manager.Both. Valverde is a terrible manager imo, for anyone who watches Barca knows that.
