La Liga 2024/25

Decent game from Tchouameni. Did the whistles at the beginning have something yo do? . I want to believe so. The best medicine to wake someone up.
Let him feel singled out. Bad pass, whistles. Trot slowly, whistles. Good play, applause. "Almost" good play, whistles. And let it be like this for several games.
Mbappe getting better every day.

He is a player that even missing easy chances galore in his best days, or scoring when he is even below par, he'll always deliver numbers. Yet the great stuff right now it's that he is doing GREAT GOALS ( a lo best from Kiki) even agaisnt the tide of the game like against Barca, that's fecking great news regarding having him in his best level.

Ironically kind of a waste in this shite of a team. Man are we poor this season.
 
Good goals.

But lordy what a shit team. Worst team since 08.

Somehow still right up there in the title race, how long that can last, with this level of football, i'm not sure though.

Mainly due to Barca shitting the bed. We are incredibly inconsistent and simply poor most of the time.
 
Enough individual quality will carry you so far, in fact

Teams that can match that while also playing better as a team will take us apart, sure. Teams that can't match the individual quality though, no matter how much better they play as a team, we'll continue to beat

Thats Ancelotti's career summed up right there.. His general preference of individual quality of the players over the coherent structure and game plan works well when he has the best team. The minute something is off with the balance of his team everything falls apart..also his Italian background doesnt help because he is always a coach who prefers to outsmart the opponet instead of outplay it..

Man absolutely refuses to score normal goals.

On another note, I see Madrid ending trophyless unless there's some signings ( a right back and centre back as bare minimum) in January. Ancelotti is out of ideas and will not lift this team tactically. individual quality will only get you so far.

I would say there are coaches who can produce more with less. He is definitely a coach who needs more to produce. That being said, another issue is his age. People tend to decline with age, regardless. Carlo is simply old as frack. Hence, dude thought it`s a good idea to field 1 solid CB, 2 man midfield with zero creativity and zero capacity for tempo and 4 forwards.

Seriously, he should adopt Wojciech and leave him all his wealth. Dude was the single reason, this was not a historic double digit defeat.

There won’t be any signings. We rarely do business during the winter period.

And yeah no trophy season like in 22-23. Or 14-15 also under Ancelotti.
 
Atletico losing to Leganes with 30 to go. Be very poor if they lose that.

Side note: Valencia are 6 points off safety playing Barca away next week. They've a massive match at home to Sociedad tomorrow night

Every time I have Atletico in my acca they lose to some no mark team near the bottom of the league, yet somehow they’re top. Same as PSG.
 
Not sure what the final result will be for them but they had 14 consecutive victories in all competitions prior to this game. If they lose it it will not be that rare all things considered.
 
Wonder if anyone has taken a weekend break in Madrid and going to both Leganes and Getafe games today? It's very possible as the satellite towns are right next to each other so could probably even walk between the two stadiums in two hours if you so wished?

Only issue is it's freezing and both stadiums are open three sides with no roof.
 
Endrick’s ball striking is wonderful.

Madrid however just can’t control a game. I known they were rumoured to be after Rodri, which would help immensely.

Someone I’ve been impressed by recently is Ezzalzouli. Ex Barca graduate and he’s started to show his talent more and more just wish he could finish!

Sure Corberan will make them more solid and pick up wins but they've left it too late, should've sacked Baraja after they lost at home to Las Palmas in October.

Alaves, Espanyol and Leganes all winning is a fatal 24 hours for them.

Will be one of the biggest relegations we've seen for a long time from any european league as they've won two leagues, a few cups and played in two CL finals in the last 25 years alone but it has been coming to put it mildly with the ownership.
 
That open footed tackle to Lewandowski's calf should have been carded imo.

Anyway, Barca score
 
Barca could be out of sight, but right on cue for the league their finishing has become shit again

That takes some doing, considering they are playing Getafe, a team that doesn't really score goals, lowest in the league.

Hope they hold on, not watching though, Getafe are just that sad to watch.
 
abhor the club but i don't mind bordalas teams. They picked up copies of the original football codes, decided that rugby football is afterall still football, and decided to just play that
 
The longer Lewandowski continues to be garbage, the sooner Barca might just go with Olmo as the False 9.
 
Big miss from Raphinha. Looks like the Barca from just before the Christmas break is back where they can't convert their chances.

Getafe are genuinely among the worst footballing sides I've ever seen.

Bit of a Stoke/Bolton throwback.

Was going to compare them to Everton but Valencia is more apt comparison considering the size and history.
