La liga 2021/22

That will teach them that you just don't get rid of the ball for 10 straight minutes against a team like Barcelona. The way they managed the end of the game was ridiculous.

The equalizer seems like a happy ending but dropping 2 points against Espanyol isn't a good result though.

Seriously? Barcelona usually drops points v Espanyol; bitter cnuts with nothing to lose.
 
I’m okay with the result. We are a work in progress and were playing some really good football in the first half especially. Araujo injury really sucks but we are heading in the right direction.
 
All the fuss about Barcelona needing to avoid falling out of the top 4 and Atletico is just handing it to them on a silver platter.

I don't even know how teams like Atletico or Sevilla can be that high on the leaderboard to be honest. Sevilla is very average and it's probably the worst Atletico team I've seen since Simeone arrived, they're just bad.

La liga is way way way worse this season. This year’s Barca’s team doesn’t sniff anything to top 4 last season.
 
I don't think it's that bad.

Last year, 5th got 62 points. If you extrapolate Atletico's current points tally to the rest of the season, they'd get 61.75 points. They're currently 5th. So the bar to clear to get top 4 hasn't really changed much.
 
Thought Bordalas was supposed to be doing o.k.....no wins in last 8 now but should have enough points to avoid any serious relegation battles.

Another great season from Peter Lim....

He does a lot with a young team and every year losing important players. The team is in a very bad run but will not struggle not to relegate.

Lim is a cancer for any club, next year will be worse.

They need to sell to balance accounts...
 
Villareal are getting better. 19 year old right winger Pino looks a player, he has scored 4 goals already. They could challenge for the top 4.

I read some stat saying Villarreal are the most in shape team in La Liga, having gotten more points than anyone else in the last 10 games.
 
I worried for them a bit earlier on when they kept drawing and fell to 13th. But they’re in top form at the moment. Emery is a good manager
 
The top 4 is going to be very interesting. 5 teams for 2 positions.

Athletic Bilbao is also very strong although today I think they will take out many substitutes.

And Sevilla if they lose today... They are playing poorly and if they advance a lot in the Europa League they can lose a lot of points.
 
Espanyol absolutely battered today, and still in relegation form (all draws and defeats). I won't be surprised if the manager gets sacked next week unless he finally wins a match.

You love to see it.
 
Watching Pedri match after match, he really is insanely good. Probably the best young player I've seen since Messi and Rooney.
 
Bilbao had an eye to the CdR semi final but damn I’m stunned at how well xavi already has this team clicking.
 
Barca have now scores 4 goals in 4 of their last 6 games. After struggling for goals all season, the post transfer window performances have been spectacular.
 
It's insane how much better Barca is since the transfer window and Xavi growing into the role. Kinda jealous we haven't pulled the same thing.
 
It had been a long time since I enjoyed a Barcelona match so much.
 
Safe to say Barca are back?

17 goals in 5 matches and Pedri back in the Starting XI. Even Luuk de Jong is scoring.

The circulation of the ball is much more fluid and the pressure better and more coordinated.
Today the match was very complete and Pedri... What a spectacle!!
 
I have not watched Barca much, but how is Traore looking? Feels like a strange match, but he has improved the results.
Personally think Dembele should be much better.

Aubameyang is class when in form as well.

Barca vs Sevilla for Europa league I think.

I personally like Adama very much. Good decision making, press well, makes good centers. He has surprised me for good.
 
It is strange how you go from not playing for Wolves to be a star for Barcelona.
Not really strange.

- Wolves is in the better half of the Premier League. Not a bad team (though obviously not Barca).

- He is from La Masia and knows the philosophy and culture of Barca. Knows the language of course too. No acclimatisation needed.

- He has ridiculous physical gifts that stand out even more in a physically weaker league.

- He has Xavi who seems to get the most out of his players.

- He is playing with much better players than at Wolves which in turn makes him look better.
 
Blast from the past Bebe has scored a worldie from a free. Valecano now level with Betis in the Copa del Rey semi.
 
If Sevilla are in fact the second best team in la liga then my god is this league a joke right now :lol:
 
Camavinga :eek:
 
2 worldies shouldn't detract from the fact we barely created anything. On the other hand their penalty was self inflicted and was basically their only attack of the entire half, we've been pretty dominant

I’m just shocked with Sociedad. They’re 6th but with the way they played today just…my god.

We battered them away too. Think we might just be a really bad match for them. They're also not really that good honestly

4-1 now
