La Liga 2017/18

Camera shows Andre Gomes ready to get in and 30 seconds later my acestream breaks like everyone left the match, can't be a coincidence :lol:
 
Ayyyyy almost Paulinho.

I can't miss a single minute of our matches until Paulinho and Dembele score
 
Messi is an absolute joy to watch. How can a player be this good?
 
Very strong start from Barca, capitalizing on Madrid's poor form. They should widen the gap as much as possible till Ronaldo returns.
 
Problem for Ronaldo is his mate Benzema being out.

Ronaldo doesn't need him. Honestly Madrid should stop with this " Benzema creating space for Ronaldo so play him even though he does feck all " nonsense. They should play with Ronaldo upfront with Asensio and Isco behind him.

Madrid play away at Real Sociedad next weekend without Benzema, Cristiano or Marcelo too while Barça have a lot of easy games in a row
 
Swear teams rollover for Barcelona far more than they do Madrid.

Ronaldo is not a striker, he hates playing with the goal on his back, Benzema is his perfect partner, his link-up play is better than any striker in the world, he is unselfish, too bad his finishing inconsistent
 
That 5th goal was pure class. 3 touches and goal :drool:

Yeah I'm sure Espanyol came to roll over in a derby game. They're not Everton.
 
Are they usually without those players?

They have a top squad. Complacency is a lot more likely to hurt them this season after finally winning the title in 2016-17, and with Barca off to a good start, they also can't afford to let too many points slip. Barca take an early big lead in La Liga and they become favourites. Madrid will probably realise the danger and go on a winning streak themselves.

Look, I have convinced myself a lot of what you're saying but as the time passes, it looks really pointless to play a striker who is so wasteful and does feck all except clearing spaces for Ronaldo to score. Like Madrid is the biggest team currently. They can have a striker who has a nice link-up and score goals, too, right?

It looks pointless to play a striker who misses loads of chances every game just because he accommodate Ronaldo. It's not like Ronaldo will be terrible without that Benzema tbh.

Madrid deserves far, far better striker than him. They're currently down to only one goal scorer in the team (Ronaldo) and that's the reason of their problems.
