Piqué
The problem is the movement in front of them. Fati is better on the left cutting in, which usually leaves Alba with a lot of space to overlap in. On the right, Fati's reluctant to cross and so he's just circulating the play. Without Suarez there's no striker presence stretching the opposition. With Griez cutting in and Fati doing it too it's congesting the central areas, which again just makes things more difficult for midfield because there's no space to drive forward into.Arthur, De Jong and Busquets
What a boring and non-incisive midfield.
The problem is those 3 guys are pretty much the same player. Put Vidal instead of any of them, and chances will start happening. He knows how to move off the ball much better in offensive areas than the other 3, who can only play from deep. They can´t expect that the front 3 do all the work. The strikers need support from the midfielders.The problem is the movement in front of them. Fati is better on the left cutting in, which usually leaves Alba with a lot of space to overlap in.

Going to be just 4 wins out of 11 away for Barca after this and still have to go to Real Madrid of course.
Think that's going to be the difference in the long run as Real Madrid can grind out more wins on the road (although they're not quite as invincible at home).
Spanish Moyes?Persisting with Spanish Moyes after the Roma debacle and all the fecked up transfers is gonna cost Barca dearly. Not to mention wasting 2 years of Messi
It was the right decision though. It was not possible for the referee to call a foul before the corner was taken.How the feck they came out with a corner for a decision?! Foul or goal!
Morons!
He sucked if i put it politely. Everything in the past 2-3years was because of Messi.Spanish Moyes?
You mean, nothing could be called before a set piece (corner now) was made? But surely we saw such fouls before...It was the right decision though. It was not possible for the referee to call a foul before the corner was taken.
Yes I did think as I posted that Barca seem to have won loads at Bernabeu in last decade. One away ground where Messi still can run riot.Barca have destroyed Madrid at their stadium in recent years. Weirdly enough, it’s the one place they actually look good away.
We need to stop with 3 at the back.
The ball is not in play, so the game has to continue according to the decision taken before the action.You mean, nothing could be called before a set piece (corner now) was made? But surely we saw such fouls before...
Didn't we? Sorry, refs, then, you're better than your PL friends.
Thanks, nice new info. Guess when the ref blows the whistle doesn't matter, but the moment when the actual foul happens.The ball is not on play, so the game has to continue according to the decision taken before the action.
Or at least that's what some referees are saying.
Exactly. Truth to be told, it is actually a foul, only that the consequence is not the typical one we are used to.Thanks, nice new info. Guess when the ref blows the whistle doesn't matter, but the moment when the actual foul happens.
He did a good job in all honesty. Not great but certainly not bad either. Their squad has been very overrated and needs major surgery.Valverde must be laughing his azz off. Couldn’t happen to a nicer team.
Indeed. His firing was one of the most classless things I’ve seen the board of a major club do.He did a good job in all honesty. Not great but certainly not bad either. Their squad has been very overrated and needs major surgery.
I think the problem is dropping all those big leads away from home in the CL. That is soemthing he deserved to get fired for.He did a good job in all honesty. Not great but certainly not bad either. Their squad has been very overrated and needs major surgery.
Trying to bring back a dead style. Literally looked like van Gaal's United today + Messi trying things.Valverde must be laughing his azz off. Couldn’t happen to a nicer team.
Do you want to hear my opinion?How do you rate De Jong season so far?.
For a while he seemed exempt from any criticism but I already know several Culés a bit disappointed after so much hype.
Obviously I am opportunistic, but after his shitty game today I had to bring up the issue
