Luis Suárez masterclass today. 2 goals + 3 assists! (4 assists if that was Luisito who won the ball that went to Messi to shoot between the GK's wickets.) edit: nope, that was Messi cleaning up a mess Neymar had made.
Although it's not as sexy, at this point, 0 matters more to me than 7. It would show me the ability to keep defensive focus in a situation where losing defensive focus wouldn't be surprising.
I bet they will struggle to score vs PSG. Always happens before a CL match where we score a bunch in La Liga. Or the opposite, can't score in CL then put 4+ in a La Liga match right after.
Resting Messi and Suarez, other than scare for an odd injury, is pointless. 20 - 30 mins of rest when they are already playing at half pace doesn't really do much.
The Alaves players have been hacking and committing foul after foul and no yellow cards , absolutely ridiculous from the ref ...
Ankle definitely dislocated, hopefully no ligament damage or broken bones. That's the difference between a 1-2 month recovery and something much longer or permanent.
Here's Alaves' starting lineup. Numbers are starts / sub appearances after 20 Liga matches. 1 Pacheco ................... 19 4 Alexis ...................... 13 / 1 5 Laguardia ............... 13 / 2 6 Llorente ................... 17 7 Sobrino ..................... 2 / 1 9 Christian Santos ....... 2 / 10 15 Theo Hernández ... 16 16 Daniel Torres ........ 12 / 3 22 Vigaray ................... 5 / 5 23 Krsticic ................... 4 / 4 25 Katai ....................... 4 / 5
The usual Mascherano as RB again although it didn't work out every single freaking time Lucho used him there , no other options so the back four will probably be Masch-pique-umtiti-alba , he could play digne out of position but i doubt it
Was never mentioned here so belated props to Digne for that lunging tackle that prevented Katai getting off a shot 1v1 in the box a couple of minutes before Messi made it 3-0.
Of course, I bet Lucho is thrilled to be able to play Craperto now. So so sad for Vidal [emoji22] Not much to complain about except for not resting MSN before PSG game when it's 6-0. I don't understand it at all. It could so easily been one of them getting injured.
Well if you can't be positive about our players at least try to be clever in your negativity. Shitmes, really? Not Slowmes, Goalless, or Groanmes?
I know but why risk it? If they are going to walk about why play at all. I would have been more cautious but let's not ruin the 6-0 win. Well done lads [emoji106]
