La Liga 2019/2020

Lol is one of them mikel?

I’m just going to stick to the match for now, but some more to clean up in this thread later on.

I was pleased with the first half and parts of the second. We were clearly the better side today. While I’d prefer some more chances created and some better ones, they still were creating. You have to consider the context though. Suarez out (though working hard to come back) and Dembele our. We lack serious width which is really making things difficult. You’d be seeing a much better side with some quality wide players.

@Savi you are dead wrong about the passing. It’s improved greatly and there was plenty of forward passing in this match. The problem is no width and the lack of a striker. Braithwaite is a striker, but he wasn’t played as such. Either way there was plenty of quick passing and forward passing.

@Duchene2MacKinnon you can see above as to the lack of chances. Still there were some and Setien isn’t the problem.

if you want to dump on Setien then do it right and go after his selection because then it will look like you know what you’re talking about.

Not the best from Messi again. Pique was immense and it’s mind-boggling how underrated he is. His yellow card was bullshit. De Jong had a very good first half and a good match overall, but more on him tomorrow.

I’ll address the whole Sarabia issue as well. Absolute nonsense that it’s an issue at all. The word from. The players make it seem like they didn’t take issue, but if they did they can f*** off. Sarabia did his job and they shouldn’t have apologized whatsoever. Sarabia is exactly what this team needs and any player who has a problem with him can join Valverde wherever the f*** he is.

Tell me you don't agree, but don't tell me I'm dead wrong because that's just not true. You're generally more optimistic in your match reviews and even when they play terrible you always seem to find some silver lining, I commend you for that, but I can't anymore, something is broken.

Tough game ahead at Betis

Already down 1.

Our stay at the top is shaping up to be a pretty short one.

And we are tied.

Fekir so so good

how did Joaquin not score earlier wtf

 

[Scandale du Jour]

What a shit pass leading to that turnover...

As predicted, winning the Clasico was for nothing.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Tello of all people love you!

that looked like a penalty on Ramos!

In real time I thought so too. On the replay, not a pen.

Agreed looked like nothing on the replay.

 

[Savi]

Mariiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaano! Top of the table bitches!

You'll probably give it up again next week tho

Don't say I didn't warn ya

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Rubi had to chase down Zidane to shake his hand. Anyway as you were pre Classico.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Team Leader

He should've came at half time again today. Since he was non existent against Inter.

 

[Power Man]

Like clockwork
Expected loss

You are dead wrong because you said "every single player" which isn't true.

Like I said, we're lacking any real width and it's going to affect the way the team plays.

 

[les Habs]

As for Valverde being better than De Jong, that statement is still laughable. It was really laughable when it was first made as De Jong was clearly having the better season and it's laughable now because essentially their respective seasons are level, and that's with De Jong being played out of position way more often than not. On top of all that De Jong has had the better career thus far. None of that is to say that Valverde can't be better in the future, but as of right now there's nothing to it.

 

[Savi]

Canizares on who's going to win La Liga: "It depends on who you're watching. When you watch Barcelona play, you think Real Madrid will be the champions. When you watch Real Madrid play, you think Barcelona will win it."

You can't argue with that.

 

[YNWA14]

You can't argue with that.

It’s truly a weird season.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

It’s truly a weird season.

Well its about to end.



i dont see how this is going to get better in 2 weeks

They're not going to cancel leagues over this is the thing. They'll suspend them until the virus is 'contained' or at least at a level that is generally manageable by the healthcare system before resuming though. 2 weeks is not likely to be that timeline but they're likely just going to keep revisiting until they see what they need to.

H1N1 in 2009 infected millions of people and killed in the hundreds of thousands. I think the reaction here is much more extreme in an effort to stop that kind of outbreak especially since COV-19 seems to be more acute.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

At this point its baseless speculation... I dont think anyone has an idea as to how bad this virus is going to get and what would be the ramifications. RIght now though its not looking good.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Soo official now. Messi finally gets a rest lol.
