These guys getting praise for collectively scoring 14 goals when that would be the minimum expected/demanded from James by himself if he were given a starting place. Now I know why Zidane doesn't play him, he'sdoomed to fail. Even if he plays just as well or even better than these guys, people will say he underachieved.
Are you out of your mind? James has come close to that total once in his entire career, when he scored 13 in his first season here when he was an undisputed starter here.
I want to see Areola - Marcelo - Militao - Nacho - Carvajal - Valverde - James - Isco - Vinicius - Jovic - Brahim in the starting XI.
ZZ will play a strong line up because this will be a 1 game elimination,the memories of Alcorcon are still alive . I dont think Brahim will start,Vinicius and Lucas needs the minutes more because they will be important players for Zidane in the most important part of the season,so he will try to get them into form...Brahim will not evn be in the squad when most of the players are healthy.He should leave this month
If we don’t beat these with our B team then we have no business being in the competition. It’s that simple.
I hope that modern physiotherapy can negate the ligament damage. I honestly have been getting excited for his return.
Away in Zaragoza will not be easy. Barcelona home game against Leganes. Zaragoza 4th position in the Segunda, so it will be a difficult night for us.
It’s discouraging that he tore an acl in preseason and nobody else has solidified themselves as the starter in that position. I’m excited too, but it’s probably because that spot is still a huge question mark. Zidane recovering Asensio this season would be a miracle
He had a few good games this preseason as well. I think the people that were writing him off from last season would do well to not take too much stock in anything that happened last season; good or bad.
Vini and Brahim out of the squad for tomorrow. Lucas in. Lol Zizou. It's like he likes punishing the player who play a good game. Well, as long as that works. More than ever, a MUST WIN. Can't stand seeing crap Barça at the top of the table anymore.
Ya I wouldn’t be too excited over Asensio this season. He played horrible the last time we saw him and coming back from a major injury it would be a miracle if we got anything from him. he’s very close to turning into a Canales. Hope that doesn’t happen.

The next 2 closest seasons were 09/10 (15) and 04/05 (16); and we didn't win shit those seasons so this may not be a very good sign.
It could also be a sign of something unprecedented, maybe winning the treble? But sure elite defense must not be a good sign lol
