They have good players on paper but are incredibly boring to watch even with their new signings. In the two games I've seen the only time they look like scoring is from a Trippier cross to Morata.
La Liga 2019/20
- Thread starter carvajal
- Start date
Noticed the same. Saw their last game and his crossing and Morata heading ability is a very viable route to goal.
Joao Felix looks like will going to be a star. Very mature for his age and has that X factor around him.
Perez was the guy I think who had a decent preseason but yeah, if not for injuries, he'd definitely not be starting games for Barca. Rakitic I believe will start playing games again once the whole Neymar PSG thing is done. It makes no sense for him to suddenly get dropped after he's never been dropped for 2 years.
I know its Betis but Barca aren't dropping points tonight. Griezmann hattrick to come.
They most definitely are more boring than us. Better at getting results sadly.
Griezmann doesn't even look remotely like scoring with the service he got last week and that's when he had first teamers near him. Today he's playing with Rafinha and Perez.
They have and will continue to be almost impossible to score against so wins are something they'll get but they're almost impossible to watch for 90 mins. Felix is exciting but the rest of it just a snoozefest.
What's Valverde's problem with Arthur?
I can appreciate a good team.
he wasn't using him during the pre-season as well. he was on the bench vs Arsenal and in both games vs Napoli and he got 15 minutes in one of those games and that's all. I doubt he is injured or anything, he simply isn't picked anymore for some reason.
Why did Betis change the coach?
Too many passes.
A damn shame Betis have moved on from Setien to what seems like a typical pragmatic coach. This match last season was my match of the season.
Barca with some really nice combinations outside the box so far, Perez looks interesting prospect. Just need to actually shoot once in the box.
Didn't the Betis fans want him sacked?
I agree when they're on song they're arguably the best team to watch in La Liga.
Lovely goal for Fekir. 0.1.
Fekir getting it done
Out of nothing Betis first attack and they score. Poor pass from Barca in centre circle.
Nabil Fekir ladies and gentleman, excellent finish.
Busquets with the woeful pass.

Woah - Betis, nice goal
Busquets needs dropping. Yet again gives away the ball and Fekir scores.
Fekir 0-1
Due to my general lack of interest in football, I've skipped Betis' rebuild the last few years but damn, that team looks pretty decent.
How did Fekir go for so cheap? We shouldhave been in for him. Barca dominating but no end product.
I know I will play as Betis in PES2020
Price wouldn't have been so cheap if English clubs were interested.
Barca wasting money on Griezman when they needed a CB and a RB
Fekir's run was 
They have won today for the first time in the La Liga at Butarque.....three draws before.
Busquets, as ever a bitch
How's that a free kick to Barca? Ridiculous.
Pique yellowed for blocking off Betis player through on goal.
Why is De Jong playing on the flank? And so far up the pitch? Might as well out him on goal.
Barca really look crap defensively.
Betis playing some nice counters like Valladolid last night
Barca without Messi is a bit sad. They have no idea how to actually shoot on goal.
Barcelona fans appealing for anything and everything.
It's why they need Neymar. They're far too reliant on Messi.
Their football hasn't been bad but like you said, there is no finishing
Griezmann!
Griezmann gets his first goal for Barca.
Pretty much
Basically they played nice football but were a disaster at the back and couldn't score, results sucked, and the fans turned on him badly
Also, how the feck were Betis given a free run at Fekir is beyond me
talk about clubs outsmarting themselvesAaand the cnut scores
Again a french player scores, we are too fecking good
1-1 Griezmann
