For all of Suarez’s virtues, his first touch and passing sometimes is horrendous. Really frustrating.
J33 (A) Celta J35 (A) Deportivo J36 (H) LPB J34 (H) Villarreal J37 (A) Levante J38 (H) Real Sociedad For me, away to Celta (on Tuesday) and El Clasico are the only remaining stumbling blocks. Villarreal could be tricky as well if the title is already cemented but I'd like to think the team will remain serious in their attempt to make domestic history. Would like to see Yerry Mina be given a chance.
It just doesn't feel like a triumph right now, but this is an incredible achievement already, much better than the Sociedad record in terms of the wins-to-draws ratio.
From that point of view I could see it. Strange season ... not looking like the title, CL spots, nor relegation battle are going down to the wire. Relegation battle is the closest I guess with 8 points between 17th and 18th. I guess Europa Cup will be all that's left.
I hope we thrash RM just to down them mentally. The preasure is on them because its not like they already wrap the CL title.... their season can still end up without any major silverware.
El Clásico comes right after the 2nd leg of the semi, which LPB hosts. (They have Leganés at home between the 2 legs. A cakewalk.) So either they'll be coming to us right after securing a spot in the final and we'll have to beat them down, or they come to us right after getting eliminated and we'll have to beat them down. The common theme is that we'll beat them down.
Barca must have been the league champion by then , and I believe if we also have secured the CDR, then the preasure would on RM. How many game we still need to win? 3 ?
"Hay pasillo" That claim that LPB deserved a pasillo for winning the CWC is total bullshit. It's a different competition we didn't participate in, so why should any Liga team have to honor them for it? La Liga opponents should honor the LIGA champs. Simple as that. Not to count unhatched chickens though...
Barca can't win 3 before EC They have only 2 La Liga games Atlético 16:15 Levante Real Sociedad 19:30 Atlético Atlético 20:45 Betis Alavés 16:15 Atlético But I trust one of the above to draw A Madrid
Ooooops ... Wiki Barcelona season page has Villarreal after the Celta game even though the date is after.
Yeah! How did Kondogbia stay on the field? Another proof how referees are biased and inconsistent. There are no professional referees, they are shit entire lot of them.
Suarez is not realistically sell-able (unless he wantt to go to China). We should keep him but at the same time we need a #9, which Griezmann isn't. Unfortunately, Suarez (or 'el gordito' as his teammates call him) doesn't have the body-type that leads to playing well deep into one's 30s.
Nah, we need Greizmann. There are no current #9 that suits our style of play. We need a striker who can dribble well, pass well and contribute in playmaking.
If I was the president of Barca, I would’ve probably wanted current Suarez to be sold. You’ve to be ruthless at times, otherwise you can’t succeed. Pretty sure, Cruyff would’ve wanted Suarez to be sold if he was alive.
Harry Kane doesn’t suit Barca due to his lack of technical skills. Kun Aguero is old and Mbappe will never play for Barca because of his allegiance with Real. Do you actually think Barca will bid 200 M for Mbappe?
It's not lack of ruthlessness that Suarez is in Barca still. Like, when you would've sold Suarez? The summer after he won Pichichi, or the summer also Neymar left?
Yeah, kind of boring finish to most leagues in Europe. Depor might be making a late push. Won 2 in a row. And they have 2 winnable matches this week which could bring them close to 17th place.
