We've been poor though. Another Lopetegui game in many ways. Well, a bit better than Lopetegui given we're missing Marcelo
La Liga 2018/19
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
Is there any realistic title race this year in Spain do you think? Atleti can't string two wins together.
At Madrid are the biggest disappointment.
This, going forward they've been woeful. Switched off to concede late today. Not good enough. Can only hope Barcelona keep dropping points, looks like they'll walk the title though unfortunately.
and again.
Jeez just seen Valencia are losing at home to a Stuani-less Girona. What is going on with that club? I thought they'd left the chaotic period of Neville-Prandelli. They'll be calling for Voro again shortly.
Left Batshuyai and Gamerio on the bench today which is bizarre.

White hankies out at the Mestella. Maybe Valencia overachieved a bit last season but seriously how can a squad of Garay, Cocquelin, Kondogbia, Parejo, Guedes, Batshuyai, Gameiro, Rodrigo and Santi Mina win all of one league game all season?
They've drawn 8 out of 11 league games as well.
I thought Reguillon was outstanding today. Great back-up for Marcelo.
Easy goal for Barca. Rayo defence is a car crash against any opposition who can string 3 passes together past the halfway line.

Rayo should be leading. Missed a tap-in into an open goal as well.
Turned it off as thought Barca would get to 3-0 before half time. Will give another watch now Rayo are level.
Rayo taking the game to Barcelona, seriously impressive performance. Wondering if they can keep that up for the second half? You don't see teams atthe bottom of the other leagues play like that. They're the best team in Madrid based on today's performance so far .
Nice touch Rayo giving the kit man an award before the match as he's retiring after 30! Years.

Barca have been trash. Deserved lead for Rayo. Defending needs to be rectified if they hopes to win the Champions League.
Hopefully Valverde follows Lopetegui soon. I can't understand for my life how Madrid and Barca are looking for such kind of managers tbh.
This is brilliant from Rayo, really didn't expect that at all. These type of situations Barca really miss Messi as he'd raise their mediocre level and give the fear factor to the opposition.
As an aside always wanted to go to the Vallecas and watch a game. Notice they're playing Real Madrid close to my 30th Birthday in May. What's the best way of getting tickets for that, through Viagogo or other sites?

"But but but every time Real and Barca always beat bottom half teams 6 or 7-0" Truth is La Liga is much more competitive and exciting than premier league this season. Could anyone confidently predict the bottom 3? Some big sides in danger of being involved in relegation battle and the race for europa league looks very open aswell.
To me it shows what truly great players Messi and Ronaldo are. One has gone and the other is missing more games and Barca and Real Madrid look very average sides (if we limit the range to top level) without them.
Rayo is playing at times the type of football we can only dream of
Not getting my hopes up yet. These cnuts will still manage to draw at least.
I don't know why people made out that Pogba to Barca was this massive step up. Barca aren't really an elite side anymore and their transfer strategy seems to be as bad as anyones.
Feck, this super league wouldn't be that super if it were formed tomorrow.

A normal Barcelona team would have wrapped up the title by now, they chose a good year to start the league like crap though

Barca go route one, knock down and good finish from Dembele in fairness. Them winning this now would be complete travesty.
As soon as I saw that header bouncing Dembele's way, I knew he was going to score. He's not playing great, but man is he scoring some important goals for them so far this season.
Nice finish by Dembele. Harsh on Rayo.
3-2
The amount of big goals Suarez scores for Barcelona in La Liga every single season is ridiculous.

feck that, so undeserved.
Would be a scandal if Barca win this.
As predicted complete and utter travesty. Suarez poaches yet another one. Is he the modern day Inzaghi with his declined all round game?
Wow, what a turnaround.
One of the most undeserved Barca wins I have seen.

Haha lol.
Suarez 5 goals in last 2 games, back to his best at the perfect time.

Maybe it's time we start Messi as a left winger and start hoofing/crossing the ball for Suarez to score. Seems like the only way Valverde might milk anything from his squad.
Typical. Barca pull one out of their ass. Cruel on Rayo.
So basically Barca only play when they want. They struggle to perform a lot against the likes of Rayo, Leganes and so on. Thanks god for them Suarez has decided to be a player again this season.
I think it has to be with us playing badly, last couple years it feels like the less Suarez has to touch the ball and think with it on his feet the better he plays.
Hahha you can tell the madrileña press was livid when Suárez completed Barça's comeback.
Another bad match, but hey, 3 points secured and Suárez filling Messi's void.

How long is it until Messi is back?
Valverde is such an uninspired manager. I know he's winning titles for Barcelona, but given the attacking talent they've and the money they've spent, they really should be expecting more style.
