Barca looked dull today. No penetration whatsoever. Honestly, boring game to watch. Credit to Sevilla though, they looked dangerous.
I don't understand not subbing out Roberto for Dest. Pedri played decently, Trincao and Pjanic were nothing special. Koeman really didn't impress me tonight. In a 1-1 match where we desperately need a goal he decided to experiment by taking out two of our best three players (Coutinho, Fati) and leaving the likes of Roberto on. If anything Busquets needed a rest too. Completely botched the substitutions IMO. Anyway we need to play our best lineups more. This was a frustrating game. I think 3 games in its clear as day that Messi, Coutinho and Fati should be playing 90 minutes in every relevant game. They have very good chemistry and out attack looks dangerous with them.
Fair result, neither team did enough to win, we might have nicked it at the death. But we are showing promising signs.
Yeah, I'd agree with you on that but without really creating any clear cut chances, I mean Neto didn't really have a save to make. We didn't create much either, Greizman had a couple of opportunities but his control let him down.
Busquets made many mistakes again, I don't understand why this persistent attitude toward playing old, error probe and slow players. He's past his departure date by 1-2 years. I don't understand Koeman playing Griezman out of position, especially when he literally said he needs to play in HIS preferred position. Sell him then, since he's useless to the team.
He said the exact same thing about Roberto then ended up playing him as a RB and ditching Semedo and Wague.
Ah shit. I missed that. We are pretty screwed considering our other fullbacks are hot garbage. Give Dest a chance and he may impress. Maybe...
I think , like all creative players , he will make mistakes and give the ball away .. Messi gives the ball away more than any other Barca player and has done for years . As regards Busqs- I’ve seen an improvement in his fitness and mobility.. he looks super trim - even his face looks slimmer. I think it’s just his detractors picking up on each and every misplaced pass .. it’s something I do with Thiago and did all the time with Rakitic
