i think that remains to be seen. they're playing sociedad at home.
i'll wait to see what their tactics are 10-15 games into the campaign.
La Liga - 2012/2013

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

No chance.
I've gotten very tired and bored by the way Barca played at times, but if Tito will get them to attack more, then even I will start to cheer for you guys in La Liga. Now for you to get rid of Mascherano and Biscuits..
Isn't the druggie a Chelsea fan?
i'd be happy if he scores as many as last year, and that alone, will be something huge
Wtf happened here, just back to see Barca is up 3-1 in the 19th minute... 
that's nuts.

messi
two goals
You're right ofcourse, my point was you don't see the defending analysed on here unless it's a Barca or Messi goal.
I agree that is why I have not formed a definite opinion yet.
But still there definitely is a difference so far imo, earlier even when they smashed teams 8-0 there was a difference in style, I have never seen them so attack focused.
Two goals, one deflection.
This is one of those games that's going to be good for Barca's goal difference. Doesn't matter, we'll outscore them again
And it won't come to gd anyway

if barca doesnt recover villa or buy a goalscorer, real madrid will win la liga again

Surely as a Real fan you should know that La Liga is not decided on goal difference.
If you finish level on points with Barca, it goes down to head-to-head.
why hasn't anyone bought greizmann yet? he's been class for about 3 years now
Are you saying that Messi isnt a goalscorer?
Sure you do. On Real Madrid and Barcelona goals constantly. This really is the 'How are Real and Barca doing this week thread' because people aren't really talking about the other games because they aren't watching.
If you'll have a look at the PL thread you'll see a bunch of comments like that.
You might think you see it often regarding Barca or Messi because they/he score more goals than most teams. You get a bigger variety of goals. His goals today haven't been the prettiest. Most cases he wouldn't end up with the ball in a chance like he did but the ball fell for him and he's a ruthless at punishing defenders mistakes.
True, however it can come into play.
He's the player I've been following outside the big teams there. Really like his style. Good player. Their scouts did a good job on picking him up from France.
i'm saying that messi is not enough to win la liga, they need a player to take advantage of messi's assistances, something they lacked last season and made them lose la liga
He was 13 when he moved to Sociedad.
Yes. The scouts picked him up when he was 14.
True, if you 2 teams tie the El Clasicos without even away goal separating you.
Iniesta injured?
Maybe you're right. I doubt their scouts would only realised he existed after he had moved there already.
Hmm...Barca are passing the ball a lot quicker than last season and Spain in the summer.
Wonder if this is a feature of Villanova or weather they're just having a good day.

No. He was discovered in France and moved only because of Sociedad. Not like his family moved to Spain and he joined from there. They saw him play in France, offered him a trial, liked him even more after that and persuaded the parents into the deal.
Maybe Bebe was bought by United first and three years later will decide to become a footballer?
Snow, I know, I know.
Snow, I know, I know.
Messi almost with a hat trick. Would have been a good goal. He's sure to finish with at least 3 today.
So watching this lot playing like that, how do everyone think Rooney, Van Persie & Kagawa will compare?
Messi is something else. Really, he is.
Barca are playing very good, that has to be said.
Really good effort
Sociedad with a great effort from distance.
Great match this.
Great match this.
Mascherano is a filthy player.
Yup, surprisingly enjoyable even with Barca winning and Messi scoring for fun.
Valdes
Barca's defense is a bit iffy.
pedro 4-1 too easy
