La Liga 2018-19 Part II

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Puigggggg

 

[Savi]

That's an interesting lineup to say the least

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

That ball by Puig wow. Not only was it incredibly awesome vision but he disguised it well. I thought he was lining up a shot then send Dembele on a 1v1.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Puig is going to be a star

 

[Savi]

Please sub off Prince, he's so bad

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

As good as Puig as been Alena has been bad.

 

[Savi]

I'd take off Prince and Wague at HT. Prince just sucks and honestly I think the guy views this loan as a 6 month holiday. Wague is fast.. and thats it. Pretty dumb player apart from that. Made several stupid fouls as well. Get Semedo on, and I'd like to see Abel Ruiz as well.

 

[Savi]

Also, in about 5 years, a De Jong-Arthur-Piggy midfield is gonna be so unfair to everyone else

 

[Il Mediano]

Barca's talent is almost always unfair to everyone else.

 

[Evilo]

Todibo is apparently playing well (I'm not watching).

 

[Savi]

He looks solid but he's barely been tested, to be fair. Still, he's s got good feet.

Good point, however it's nice to see how the midfields basically already set for the next decade.

There’s a lot of control there but it lacks muscle and maybe creativity. Plus Alena might be there too

 

[Savi]

Valverde subs off arguably the 2 most dangerous players, great

Once Puig got off this match became rather meaningless.

Dembele makes sense since he's coming off an injury.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Wague’s had a good game, Coutinho doesn’t look good on the other hand

I haven't watched a ton of Barcelona games this season but I can't remember any games where Coutinho has lived up to his billing...and there have been quite a few stinkers.

 

[les Habs]

Coutinho would do better with us in the midfield.

I'd take off Prince and Wague at HT. Prince just sucks and honestly I think the guy views this loan as a 6 month holiday. Wague is fast.. and thats it. Pretty dumb player apart from that. Made several stupid fouls as well. Get Semedo on, and I'd like to see Abel Ruiz as well.

I don't know why they bought got Boateng in the first place. Like I saI'd at the time I'd have just brought Bojan in. People might laugh at that, but he could have been loaned and if he were played as a striker and not on the wing he'd probably do well. Puig assisted him in the Catalunya match.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Ironically he was seen as a super fit with this team but he is not at all

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Now or never got Villarreal let’s go

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Pretty unfair for Madrid play on a Monday when they have to get ready for their CL match tomorrow.

 

[Power Man]

Lol we’re losing to Leganes

 

[Evilo]

Meanwhile Benzema has 21+5 in 2708 minutes. One goal or assist every 104 minutes. Out of the 59 goals his team scored. 44% of his team's goals come through him.

EDIT : as a comparison, Salah has 19+7 in 3009 minutes. Mane has 18+1 in 2816 minutes.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Benzema’s flourished since CR left, makes you think how many more goals he would’ve had if he was the main goal scorer on another team. There’s strong mutual interest between Real and Luka Jovic and the latter isn’t exactly keen on coming off the bench, so Benzema’s likely sharing goal-scoring duties again next season.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Yeah, with the season Benz is having Jovic doesn't make too much sense.

Brilliant goal by Guedes who has found his form. Keeper could've done better though.
