PBP: La Liga Santander - Jornada 11 | FC Barcelona v Sevilla FC | 4 November 2017 [R]

Another stonewall penalty (in Chelsea fan speak), but seriously a penalty. Not called.

 

Hmm, I'm not sure I'm 100% ready to sign on to this yet but it has been getting frustrating.

The "hand ball" saved Suarez. That shot was going 25 yards high & wide, but now we can talk about a possible handball instead of another deadfull finish.

 

FT: 2-1.

Paco the hero.

 

Good win but should have ended more comfortably with the non-penalty calls.

 

In every game Suarez trying to beat his old record of the worst game of all time. And Valverde subbing Paco of instead of Suarez is the worst coaching decision I've ever seen. I mean how do you make that conclusion?

 

Oh yeah, good decision then.

 

Yeah too soon, imo. The first Paco goal was extremely lucky too!

Hoping Luisito turns it around after his surgery and when he has Dembele to play with.

 

Because Paco doesn't have the fitness to go 90. I noticed a couple of times when he was bent over hands on knees when Sevilla had the ball.

 

I still can't believe that decision, I mean are we actually alive in reality?

 

Yeah, not sure I agree, but I'm also not sure that Suarez will not / should not go under the knife during the international break we now have, to remove the 'cyst' or whatever it is he has which seems to be causing pain in his knee. If he does that then Paco will get a couple starts while Luis recuperates, but a healthy Luis is a great striker (and is also Messi's bestie on our team which is important).

 

I'd have to watch again, obviously after the block by the HAND it was another way off goal shot, but even if it was way off before the hand, it should have been a penalty. Nowhere in the rule book are the refs supposed to not call a handball in the box, where the hand is moving and not by body, just because the shot may be off. Either way we got another 3 points today, thankfully, but we had two PKs not called. I was not pointing out the 1st PK to say Suarez is not off his game, he is off his game.

 

Suarez missed his usual 1on1, so he doesn't score Paco's first, and definitely isn't fast enough for the second. Paco should definitely start, until Suarez fixes what ever god damn problems he has.

 

I'm not a fan of starting Paco over Luis but will point out that it is hard to be match fit for 90 minutes when you never start and play 90 minutes.
