La liga 2021/22

Atleti’s defence is so bad these days. Long gone are the days of Miranda - Godin and what’s happened to Oblak? Parody of himself.
 
Adama is wreaking havoc! Fantastic match so far, still buzzing from the Alba goal
 
Barcelona still can't defend for shit though, so this is wide open :lol:
 
What happened with Barca considering that Dembouz wouldn't play for Barca anymore :lol: ? What a bunch of clowns
He probably won't, but this way he can't sue them for mobbing or anything

Nah, dembele should have always been allowed to play even if he doesn’t want to renew.
 
If Barcelona can lead them, so can we. Not to forget Carrasco will be missing.

Yeah, Atletico awful this season quite often. Utd at least 50/50 in the tie.

Neither team can defend in this game, more goals incoming?
 
If there's any doubt how different a manager can make players look, you only need to see 5 minutes of this Barca vs what they were doing under Koeman.

Last several times I saw them, they looked like Stoke City, and now they instantly look a little bit like Barcelona again with the same fecking players. :lol:

Even if the results end up the same it's night and day.
 
Not even a check? Surely looked like Ferran Torres was offside.

I think that you made an important point. You don't need to see immediate differences in results to see a pattern being established. Barcelona look much better under Xavi than they did under Koeman.

It's 3-1 now and they'll overtake Atlético if they win the game in hand, as things stand.
 
Atletico madrid are fecking done. Don't what happened to Oblak this season but seriously, he's the worst goalkeeper in the league right now

Barcelona on the other hand looking quite good

Agreed.
Get in Araujo!

and any United fans watching…you should be able to smash Atletico.
 
The closest to being offside was Araujo and he didn't touch the ball before Ferran
Ah fair enough, I thought Torres' shoe was in front of the last defender when the header took place.
 
Might be time for Simeone and Atletico to try new things away from each other.

Adama at Barca is so weird, but he has been okay in the first half

Eeeeh. Not really true. They had a couple good performances but also a bunch of terrible ones. Athletic brutalized them in their last game

Given up mentally this year after winning title last year. Wonder if Simeone might pack it in at end of the season, needs new challenge?
 
Are the camera that they use on sidelines in La Liga 4k? I'm watching on the premier sports apps and those sideline cameras are super crisp!

Barca looking really good, liking the movement and passing. Adama his side on lock and just his presence there is pinning that whole side back allowing Alves to pretty much spend the whole midfield at cm.

Simeone is also playing into barca's hands with this formation and tactics.
 
Powered by Microsoft AI: Gavi's goal probability: 12.3% :confused: Looks like the F1 Amazon bullshit stats.
 
Barcelona have undoubtedly improved but Atletico are incredibly soft. Not looking like a Simeone team at all.

Lucky me. If I get to see that stat live I switch to Linux asap.

That's by design. Xavi is going with the Guardiola 3-3-4/3-2-5 formation here. Lacking a true left winger and Dani Alves has disintegrated as a defender, but otherwise looks solid. It's also the most sensible way for them to play
 
Xavi actually done alright since he came in when you look at their results.

Win today and Barca in good place for top 4. Win europa league aswell and that's the best they can realistically do.
