    Seems like they need a goal. Bring on Dest.

    Yikes. Barca throwing away the title. What they deserve for not trusting Dest honestly.

    Granada is higher up the table than Valencia. Roberto seems to be Koeman's top choice for now.

    Bad result for Barca. Dest was invisible in this game. :rolleyes:

    So does this mean when Dest doesn’t play Barcelona will lose?

    What other meaning could it have? Dest must start on Sunday @ Valencia and a week from tomorrow v Atletico - that much is certain. If all goes well and Barcelona remain in contention, then Dest starts the final three games as well.

    If at any point Barcelona fall by the wayside, then I guess the failed Roberto experiment could be repeated, if showcasing him for the impending firesale of players seems advisable.

    All the mentions of Roberto on the ticker I read ...

    31' Barca go short from a free-kick, causing havoc for Granada's defense. Roberto gets down the right and tries to square it to a teammate, but his pass is behind a glut of Barca players, and Granada escape unscathed.

    52' Over! Messi feeds de Jong, who plays a wonderful first-time cross over to Roberto. The full-back tries to cushion a volley into the top corner but gets it all wrong, sending it way over the crossbar.

    56' Barca have managed to gain a foothold since that chance for Granada, and are controlling the ball right on the edge of the visitors' box. They click through the gears with a long ball over the top for Roberto to chase. He gets there, but his cross is again cut out by a defender.

    58' Slick play from Barca. First, Messi and de Jong combine to slip in Roberto, but his cross is cleared. Busquets then pings a brilliant pass between the lines, but Roberto can't quite stretch far enough to make contact.

    That's it, except for the two goals.

    63' Goooooaaallll!!! .... Mingueza failed to deal with a loose ball and {Machis}, who had gotten the better of Roberto, was on hand ...

    79' Goooooaaallll!!! .... A cross from the left is met by Molina ...

    Dest with a heavy touch that ruins a promising attack.

    It just seems all the combination play is happening on Alba's side of the field. Dest is hanging out by his lonesome on the right side for the majority of the game.

    The "and de la Fuente" part of the title is under threat.

    Messi deferring to Dest on sending in the cross, as it should be.

    Pretty ********ed up that they sent Busquets back on the field when apparently he has a concussion.
