That stadium looks better than old Trafford in front of the cameras, we need to spend some money on that soon
La Liga 2019/20
- Thread starter carvajal
- Start date
Barca spending so much on Griezmann to play him wide forward seems bizarre. Especially on the left.
Williams looking sharp.
Nope, sorry
If there's a match you need to see, send me a pm, and i can hook you up with a river
Who is he playing for? ManUtdU23?
think he means Bilbao's Inaki Williams
Ah, sh*t, I thought he wrote in wrong thread, our U23s are playing now. Never mind, is that Inaki guy English?
Spanish.
Greizmann been awful so far. Surely you've got to play him centrally before long, Suarez once again making minimal impact.
Is Vidal still at Barca?
Griezmann looks lost.
Barcelona have been sub par.
Griezmann out wide left but is dropping inside constantly in rotation to allow Alba to provide width. In theory it should work and should get Griezmann in central areas when it counts.....
But I really don’t like Dembele. Sloppy on the pass always.

How's Velverde still in a job?
Thanks.
This game bit boring, at least these 5,6 mins since I tuned in. Griezman number 17? Can't remember who has 7. Not that I care.
Where is Messi?
Think Atletic will win. H
Playing him wide left just looks a ridiculous idea.
A typical minute in the life of Suarez. 
Greiz going central soon.
Greiz going central soon.
Messi is injured. Suarez too, now. he's going out.
Why does Barca have such a wierd starting lineup? Where is messi?
Still out with a calf injury.
Barca are playing like shite. They are just hoping one of their stars come up with something special.
Ah cheers mate.
Atletico Madrid have to be believing this is their season.
Another season with uncle Ernie. Feck sake.
Ter Stegen is the only reason why Bilbao aren't winning this. Barca look lost.
Imagine if they manage to sign Neymar. They are going to have Messi, Neymar, Griezmann, Suarez and Dembele.
But with Valverde, they are probably going to take the lead and be boring.

Worth an inplay at half time Bilbao DNB with a cheeky sidebet on Williams I’m thinking (hopefully boosted somewhere)
Dembele looks so raw, this guy cost 100m?
I feel Barca are growing into it, Bilbao needed to take their chances in the first half hour.
Jeez, according to the Bein Sports commentator, Inaki has run nearly 10k in one half.
with lot of sprints as well. They were estimating him to run 19km by the end of the match if he keeps that up.
This is the least convincing Barcelona side I've seen since Rijkaard's final season, worse than the Tata Martino version. There's no clear idea behind any of the side's play. Barca has the individual talent to win most games. However, the players are not looking like more than the sum of their parts. Watching this I understand the criticism of Valverde.
Barça should consider themselves lucky if they milk a point out of this travesty. Anyway, difficult stadium in away games. A draw in San Mames is no joke.
Confirmed that Griezmann and Suárez can't play together, or that Griezmann is not a LFW/SS (like Henry in 08-10).
Unless Messi returns fit and hungry and drags the team to another "one man" performance, Valverde might not win this Liga and be sacked. Simeone should be salivating.

Barcelona just don't look that special based on this performance. I know that you can't read too much into one half, but they are very much more open and easier to get at compared to their previous teams over the last 10 years. No real fear factor there. I hope Bilbao go on to win this, either 1-0 or 2-0.
Don't tell that to the guy above you.
They will end up at their customary 80ish points under Simeone, in order for ATM to win the title both Barcelona and Real would have to fall apart.
