A win clinches advancement to the KO stage and with it maybe a chance to rest more players in matchdays 5 and 6. Even a draw probably assures a spot in the KO stage but it would make the match against Juve more important. Looks cold:
^ @evil_allan almost got the starting XI exactly right. Just replace Griezmann with Brathwaite. Not sure when/how Puig is gonna get much playing time at this rate. Maybe Koeman feels he needs more of a goal scorer (Coutinho) when Messi & Fati are both out(?) But I guess that question goes to evil_allan since he got the lineup almost right.
HT: 0-0. Tell me again why Puig isn't playing??????? I’m crying tho😭 this boy is everything just watch this one pic.twitter.com/q7OaMzrBD9— Goddey Lionel 🇬🇭🇳🇱 (@JoystickGoddey) November 24, 2020
Trincao hasn’t given any reason to consider him as a starter either. He’s been invisible from what I’ve seen this half. There’s also something about Pjanic that’s just uninspiring. Gives off a Rakitic (in his last seasons) vibe. Yikes. Coutinho, like I said, should be sold. He’s a good player, just not for Barcelona it seems. I’m also a bit disappointed in Dest. I hope it’s just match rythm, but he seems off. Hard to judge these players on a single underwhelming half. Still expected more from some of them tbh.
