La Liga - 2014/15

Castro and Vela looks very dangerous on the counter. Barca's centre backs are having to come out very wide to deal with them.
 
Have not seen Barca a lot this season. How has Mathieu been this season? He looks like crap this match.
Mathieu is a weird one. Barca's defence needed some serious investment and the ended up with him - & I don't believe he's actually improved them. They needed a world class CB to replace Puyol & considering Pique's injuries and decline. He's a good CB, at best, is Mathieu.
 
Pathetic referee, no card for Pedro for tactical foul before and now there was no foul and this idiot gives two fecking yellows, pussy.
 
Barcelona's defenders are dreadful. Sociedad aren't having much possession but when they go forward they always look like causing trouble.

Suarez has been crap too.
 
Spanish refs :lol: carded Íñigo Martínez for a non-existant handball, but didn't call the earlier actual handball in the box.
 
Nowhere near a handball. Christ, I'd forgotten how fecking pathetic Suarez is.
 
Sociedad are very sound defensively, they know how to defend against Suarez, they don't get fooled by his shit nutmegs and all that trickery. Their counters were more threatening as well to be fair.
 
I can't understand why Enrique is playing Munir on the wing. Whenever I've seen him he looks like he has to play central. He can drop deeper, but he has to be central. He'll probably be subbed now.
 
This midfield trio was arguably the best ever a few years ago. Shadow of what it was now, I don't like barcelona but it's kind of sad not seeing Busquets, Iniesta and Xavi being what they once were.
 
Amazing how far Barca have fallen, a few seasons ago they were almost untouchable and now they look so ordinary. City are going to rip them a new one on this showing

I don't think Messi and Neymar will be on the bench for that one

They'll have Messi and Neymar against City to be fair. Agree that they've declined massively though.
 
Someone should search Enrique's man bag for brown envelopes or anything with Florentino's signature on it
 
How about this for a stat.

In the last 6 years Barcelona have managed to avoid a defeat away against Real Sociedad only once.
 
Suarez still looks so much fecking fatter than he was at Pool! :lol: I thought it was just his ban from football which caused him to put on a couple of pounds - but, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, he looks very much unfit/out of shape.

Time moves on, Xavi is old, and Iniesta has been in poor form. I think Rakitic should've started this match.

Well not exactly. We haven't got better of them since 2007, not even in Pep era. So this isn't unusual or new.

You are rather obsessed with Madrid. No need to look for brown envelopes, he's just really bad.

I don't see it. He wasn't really super slim at Liverpool either, that's just his body shape I think.

Been really poor for Barcelona so far though, whatever the reason.
 
Why are messi and neymar not playing? Are they being rested? Cl isn't till feb I think?.
