Was it about the amazing plastic bottle that hit 5 barça players at the same time, namely the totally not floppers Neymar and Suarez? Smile

I think hw was wrong because it just incites more violence, but I also think Neymat shouldn’t insult a crowd

It was very poor from Barcelona, I agree. But this is a structural problem. Last year Valencia threw a bottle against Messis head and in this latest match another Valencia supporter threw something at Alcacer earlier in the game.
Again, poor by Barcelona but in no way should the director of La Liga comment this way.

Luckily Barca’s director countered this but unfortunately La Liga Madridista director retaliated with providing poor refereeing in the Alaves - Real game.

He’s back!!! by the way.

A hattrick. I’ll admit, two great goals but also granted two penalties that should never have been.

Just saw the highlights and yeah, those were not penalties.
As long as referees can’t use video replays football will continue to have these kinds of terrible calls.  Also time wasting teams going for the tie another aspect of the game that annoys me…

Unfortunately a very bad game from Barca against Granada. Hope those new signings step up. Midfield still non-existent.

It’s either going to be a very good season or a bad one just like 2014/2015 where the new signings seemed meh but everything clicked in time.

As it is now the the attacking line is a 10/10. They got one back up with Arda who plays great in the front. Also Paco Alcacer but he is clearly less than the attacking trio and very unlucky right now. Luckily Neymar and Suarez are not injury prone.
Central defense is a 8/10. Pique is still superb and barca got 19 year old Umtiti who is playing as if he has played for years. And they have Mascherano who in form is great.
The LB and RB position are 8/10 with Sergi Roberto and Alba(right now injured) as the main who are great and Digne as a solid back up but still needs some time. Unfortunately no decent backup for RB with Vidal being @(#*.

It’s the midfield that’s a huge problem. With Busquets in form and Iniesta back from injury it will be a strong Barca, but that’s not the case right now and the new players right now struggle a bit.
So yeah, if those can get into the groove in time this might become a great season.

Rakitic is almost always great.
Arda is decent in midfield but better in front.
Gomes is playing sub-par and Denis Suarez is not there yet either.
Rafinha is doing great this season as an attacker but is not a controlling midfielder. So yeah, right now Barca is missing a controller like Busquets and they hope Gomes will fill in that role, but he needs more time for that I guess.

So the problem is very clear and if it gets fixed we’ll be in for a treat.


Also keeper is 8/10. Ter Stegen can play world-class games he has shown that, but needs to make better decisions sometimes. However, fixing the midfield problem will fix this as well since the opponents will get less opportunities.

That attack will probably solve 90% of the games but they need to step up when the big games come in Champions League. Bayen Munich and the Madrid teams are probably he biggest threats with by an underdog showing up.

Entertaining match, but Barça was totally outplayed in the 2nd half. They were controlling until that awful mistake by Sergi

It wasn’t just Sergi. We couldn’t keep the ball. Midfield was almost non-existent.
Only good sign was that Digne and Gomes had one of their better performances and that against Man City.
