Very big match tonight, we're only at matchday 15 but it's season defining, IMHO. We'll see what sort of coaching chops Tata really has and if an elevated team performance sans Messi is possible in the face of what is significant pressure for 3 pts

Let's see how our man Herrera copes against the best then.
The true test is against the likes of Stoke.
Missed a chance to score.
Has a white person with corn-rows ever not looked fecking ridiculous?
Muniain should've scored there...
Our man should have passed that, but Toquero wouldn't have done anything with it anyway.
Barca looking average.
Pinto is some crazy motherfecker 
Neymar looks like he's aged about ten years since arriving in Spain.
Toquero is shocking.
The Spanish Conor Sammon.
Excellent goal by Athletic! Muniain scores.
Phenomenal play from Ander Herrera. Goal from Muniain.
Gooooooooooooal!!
Muniain scores.
Deserved, if only because they've had more shots on target.

Why was Munian feeling himself there.
Great build-up by Ander and Susaeta.
Great pressing and pass by Herrera in the build up there.
Herrera is what I would call a right rat. He rats around the pitch, pressing and nicking the ball away from players.
He had to score there. Damn
Could have been the second
Shit header ..
good save pinto
Either side of the keeper and he scores. Shit from Toquero.
What a save from Pinto, bullet header from point-blank range by Toquero.. should've been 2-0!
Really impressed by you know who tonight.
Oh well, we've got Fellaini, so...
Oh well, we've got Fellaini, so...
I've been really impressed with Balenziaga tonight.
Pinto is an absolute clown.
You've got to love Toquero's attitude.
how good is the player who's just replaced Xavi?
Why is he number 2? Reminds me of when Gallas was number 10, not that numbers are totally relevant nowadays. Still quite funny
He's pretty highly rated, as far as I'm aware.
Yeah he's been good, doing what Sixpence said. He had a fantastic piece of play where he won the ball from a slide tackle, got up and turned the defender in one movement and then passed it to Susaeta who crossed to Muniain for the goal.
He's played in quite an attacking role tonight, with Mikel Rico and Itturaspe behind him so from tonight's performance no as we've got Kagawa and Rooney for the attacking midfield position.
That said I've seen him play in a more central role numerous times and I reckon he's a cracking player, might not be a player to set the world alight but he does what Cleverley is meant to do (harry the opposition, spread the player and link up with the attack)
they say that about every Barca youngster since 2008. On a scale of Romeu to Iniesta how do you rate him?
sounds good to me added to what ive seen of him. i like fellaini but cant help think we shouldnt have bought him and brought in herrera and one other.
