la-liga

[devout geyser]

Llorente is arguebly Atleti's best midfielder

this season

[south tree]

So let's make a La Liga team based on the concept of 1 player per team
Let's start with Atletico Madrid

[torn ermine]

they got kondogbia and torreira on bench, two good players

[devout geyser]

Torreira?

[stiff fjord]

Oblak 100 percent

[devout geyser]

good player?

🥶

[devout geyser]

Suarez and Oblak

if Suarez is off form, Atletico cannot score

[torn ermine]

is he even that bad? lol

[iron marten]

"1 player per team"

[devout geyser]

[stiff fjord]

He isn't bad but decent

Isak or silva

[devout geyser]

David Silva or Isak

[torn ermine]

david silva for me

[devout geyser]

yeah same

[stiff fjord]

Actually do silva

[devout geyser]

David Silva ig

[south tree]

O we have a close one here

[iron marten]

Isak's young and has a bright future.

[devout geyser]

he creates most chances

[stiff fjord]

There is better strikers to choose

[devout geyser]

Willian Jose

[south tree]

Sociedad : David silva

[devout geyser]

[south tree]

Okay so next who's the best player for Barcelona, this one should be ez

[stiff fjord]

Umtiti

[iron marten]

Braithwaite

[devout geyser]

Messi

lmao

[south tree]

..

[devout geyser]

its obviously Messi

[south tree]

Was waiting for Messi yh

[stiff fjord]

Yeah messi

[devout geyser]

Lenglet

[south tree]

These guys do be giving a heart attack doe ngl

[torn ermine]

barcelona is so obvious

lenglet is a great shout tho

[south tree]

Lol

Who has been the best player for Getafe

[devout geyser]

Ter Stegen: Dont pass to Lenglet, he is playing against us

[devout geyser]

Rugby association

[stiff fjord]

Cucurella

[torn ermine]

[devout geyser]

I think uhh

[gilded mist]

cucurella yea

[devout geyser]

bruh they are shit

wait

[torn ermine]

he is solid as their LB tbh

[stiff fjord]

Who else can we get at lb

I feel he is the best option

[devout geyser]

I think Angel

or Jaime Mata

can be good shouts

I think Jaime Mata

since he has most assists

in their team

but idk

[south tree]

Okay so for getafe it's cucurella , with Angel and Mata being honourable mentions

[devout geyser]

yeah

ig

[south tree]

Who's the best player for Bilbao so far ?

[devout geyser]

Muniain

[stiff fjord]

Nunez

[devout geyser]

Williams and Simon good options though

[torn ermine]

is he like clear ? 🤔

i feel like bilbao has a lot of good ones

[devout geyser]

we do'

its hard

[south tree]

He's a fantastic LM imo

[iron marten]

Iñaki Williams!

[devout geyser]

I personally think Muniain

is best

[stiff fjord]

I don't watch bilbao that much so I can't say

[devout geyser]

Muniain is consistent

and his free kicks are astounding

[torn ermine]

fair, muniain it is

[devout geyser]

we get 90th minute goals from them

[south tree]

For Bilbao we'll have Muniain since the bilbao fan said so

[devout geyser]

Barcelona would know

[torn ermine]

its from a bilbao fan, so follow seal

[south tree]

Real Madrid now

[gilded mist]

Modric

[iron marten]

Ramos

[gilded mist]

[devout geyser]

defo Ramos

[gilded mist]

[south tree]

Ramos yh I'd agree

Now valladolid

[gilded mist]

[devout geyser]

Weissmann

[iron marten]

Real Madrid are crumbling without Ramos

[torn ermine]

okay ramos is like messi to barcelona tbh

[gilded mist]

Masip?

Weissmann?

idk

[devout geyser]

Kodro!

jk

[south tree]

Masip is a good shout

[devout geyser]

I think Weissmann

is best

[south tree]

Yep should be Weissman

[gilded mist]

Plano?

[devout geyser]

Plano lmao

[gilded mist]

on his day he is good

[devout geyser]

on his day, Benteke can be good

whats your point

[gilded mist]

ok

[south tree]

So who's the best player for Levante

[devout geyser]

Morales

easily

[gilded mist]

Morales

[iron marten]

Morales

[south tree]

Yh

He's been superb

[devout geyser]

Morales is their most consistent goal scorer

[gilded mist]

I've heard rumors of Isak to Atletico, what do you think?

[iron marten]

Stupid

[devout geyser]

not happening

[south tree]

For Sevilla now , I'd ask Alicia to answer that

[iron marten]

Kounde

[devout geyser]

no!

[stiff fjord]

Bruh

[devout geyser]

Vaclik!

goat!!!

[stiff fjord]

Nesyri

[devout geyser]

jk I think Kounde

[gilded mist]

nesyri, kounde

[devout geyser]

either Kounde or En-Nesyri

[iron marten]

There are a lot

[torn ermine]

kounde or nesyri

[devout geyser]

or Bono

[stiff fjord]

Wheres rakitic

[devout geyser]

Bono > Vaclik

no cap

[gilded mist]

i still thing carlos is really good tho

[iron marten]

Everyone's decent

[torn ermine]

i feel like kounde is slightly better for sevilla

[devout geyser]

Diego Carlos

[iron marten]

Carlos is also good, yeah

[devout geyser]

I think Kounde

[stiff fjord]

Are we putting messi at st?

[south tree]

So let's go with Kounde then

[devout geyser]

Alaves now

which is hilarious

[south tree]

Depends on how the teams shape up to be , he might end up at RW

[torn ermine]

lucas perez? 🥶

[devout geyser]

no

Joselu

🥶

[stiff fjord]

Mark Travers

[south tree]

Joselu lmao that guy had a TOTY nomination

[devout geyser]

Joselu 🥶

I think Joselu is best for them

LMAO

[torn ermine]

yeah joselu probably

[stiff fjord]

Next one

[torn ermine]

granada? 🤔

[devout geyser]

wait

[south tree]

Celta now , y'all agree it's aspas ?

[torn ermine]

yes

[devout geyser]

Aspas

100%

[stiff fjord]

Yewh

[torn ermine]

easily

lol

[devout geyser]

Santi Mina good shout though

[south tree]

Kenedy

[devout geyser]

nah

[iron marten]

Celta Vigo wouldn't exist without Aspas

[devout geyser]

for Granada its easily Machis

lmao

[south tree]

Gonalons can be a good shout yh

[stiff fjord]

For granada luis suarez

[devout geyser]

Gonalons

[south tree]

🤣🤣

[devout geyser]

I think either Machis, Kenedy, Herrera, or Rui Silva

damn thats tough

[south tree]

I'd go with kenedy

[stiff fjord]

We already have a tk

Gk

[devout geyser]

I think Kenedy

yeah

we need midfielders

[south tree]

Upvote for parejo downvote for Jordan

[devout geyser]

Joan Jordan?

[south tree]

Need a good mid in that team lol

[gilded mist]

kenedy

[devout geyser]

Kenedy yeah

@south tree we havent done all teams yet

Elche, Huesca, Eibar

Osasuna

[south tree]

Oh yh I keep on forgetting them ..

[devout geyser]

Cadiz

[south tree]

Let's start with eibar now

[devout geyser]

we forgot lord Cadiz

uhh

[stiff fjord]

Gil

[devout geyser]

Eibar...

either Gil or Exposito

[stiff fjord]

Gil has been good for eibar

[devout geyser]

yeah I think Gil

[south tree]

Yh

Cadiz

[devout geyser]

Negredo

[stiff fjord]

That one French midfielder

[south tree]

Cahuzac ?

I think it is yh

[devout geyser]

damn Cadiz is hard

cuz everyone plays well

for them

[gilded mist]

Negredo

[devout geyser]

Ledesma is a good shout

[south tree]

[devout geyser]

but we already have a keeper

[stiff fjord]

Lozano

[south tree]

Yep he's good

[devout geyser]

nah

[gilded mist]

wait no ledesma 100%

backup gk

[devout geyser]

I think Ledesma backup gk @south tree

[south tree]

Yh backup gk fair enough

Elche now

[devout geyser]

we need more defenders

hmm

Calvo is a good shout

Rigoni and Carrillo though

hmm

I think Rigoni

yeah

[south tree]

Rigoni has been decent for elche imo, I don't follow them much so I can't say tbh

[devout geyser]

I think Rigoni is best option

[south tree]

Yh

Osasuna ?

[devout geyser]

uhhhh

literally no one

[south tree]

Lol

[devout geyser]

their star striker is fucking Jonathan Calleri

that tells entire story

[gilded mist]

don't be so mean

[devout geyser]

ok

I think Nacho Vidal

[south tree]

Does Roncaglia even play for them ?

[devout geyser]

is their best option

[gilded mist]

they got some good players

[devout geyser]

rest are just bad

[gilded mist]

Herrera is good

[devout geyser]

since when was Budimir a good player

[stiff fjord]

Huesca next

[south tree]

Uhhh

[gilded mist]

really? i think he is decent

[devout geyser]

I think Nacho Vidal for RB @south tree

[gilded mist]

gonzalez 100%

[south tree]

Alr

[devout geyser]

Huesca Gonzalez

thats so easy

[gilded mist]

but we got gk already

[stiff fjord]

Rafa mir??

[devout geyser]

ehh

we got strikers

lots of them

we need defenders

[stiff fjord]

We got kounde and ramos

[south tree]

Need defenders and mids imo

Umm

We need mids then

[devout geyser]

PULIDO!

Pulido is good

for Huesca

good CB

[south tree]

Yeah

Definitely deserves some praise

[devout geyser]

even scored a good goal vs Granada

[south tree]

Ite so ig we finished all of them ?

[devout geyser]

yup

so what does the squad look like'

wait

@south tree I think for LB, Insua

from Hescua

Huesca*

I just remembered

[stiff fjord]

We already have cucurella

[devout geyser]

oh yeah

so then keep it as it is

Pulido backup CB

wait

for LB

Gaya > Cucurella

[south tree]

Atletico : Oblak
Valencia : Gaya
Villarreal : Moreno
Betis :Canales
Bilbao: Muniain
Sociedad : Silva
Barcelona : Messi
Getafe : Cucurella
Madrid : Ramos
Valladolid : Weissman
Levante : Morales
Sevilla: Kounde
Alaves : Joselu
Granada: Kenedy
Celta : Aspas
Eibar : Gil
Cadiz : Ledesma
Elche : Rigoni
Osasuna : Nacho Vidal
Huesca : Pulido

[devout geyser]

ok so

in goal

we got Obalk

Oblak*

I think we should use standard 4-3-3

[south tree]

Yh

That's a good formation

[devout geyser]

ima make the team I think is best

[south tree]

Yes sure go on man

Need ur opinion on who u think is good enough to make the cut

[devout geyser]

ok we got a little problem

should 4-3-3 have CDM

or CAM

or just 4-3-3 flat

with all 3 CMs

[south tree]

Use CAM cuz we have a few ones to pick from what we have

[devout geyser]

true

[torn ermine]

kounde and ramos at CB are obvious

[devout geyser]

https://i.gyazo.com/80d7ecda1cac824fe4ed0ec840632cda.png

I think this

[south tree]

Gerard Moreno can play RW as well right ?

[devout geyser]

no

he is just striker

[south tree]

Oh

[devout geyser]

oh look

#10 matches Messi

[south tree]

Great lineup man , great use of the limited resources you had

[devout geyser]

I wasnt sure for LW

so I decided Muniain was probably best option

ik I may sound biased

[south tree]

Muniain played there before yh

[devout geyser]

but Muniain was simply

best option

[south tree]

I'd choose him

[devout geyser]

for that spot

striker one was hard

cuz there are lots of options

but because Moreno is 1 of the top scorers

in La Liga

this season

and more consistent than others

I had to pick him

[iron marten]

You guys still playing the game? Damn..

[south tree]

We just finished the construction of the lineup rn lol

[devout geyser]

https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/Kd3rJII6VN9iLVfYXCuDdCkErnKlCQ2t_lDVsy8Zai8/https/i.gyazo.com/80d7ecda1cac824fe4ed0ec840632cda.png

what do you think @iron marten

[iron marten]

Why are they wearing an Arsenal kit?

[devout geyser]

its default

lol

tbh

[iron marten]

Looks alright, I guess..

[devout geyser]

Arsenal would do bits

with that team

only concern is RB

but lets be honest

there are no amazing RBs

itw

only ones are like Carvajal

Cancelo

[iron marten]

Maybe Jesus Navas or something

[devout geyser]

I already picked Kounde

for Sevilla

[iron marten]

Oh yeah, true

[devout geyser]

and I picked Ramos for Real Madrid

[iron marten]

Yeah, I see

[devout geyser]

there was no other option

Nacho Vidal is decent tbh

[south tree]

Emerson could've been a good shout for RB if we hadn't picked Canales

[devout geyser]

yeah true

Canales walks into that midfield though

[south tree]

Yh he's been scintillating to watch

[devout geyser]

LB was hard

but I think overall Gaya is better than Cucurella

ratings for each position

Goalkeeper fantastic

Defense very solid

RB could be improved

but overall

Midfield really amazing

and Attack flawless

[south tree]

Yes Midfield is the bright spark of that team , along with a good attack

[devout geyser]

Midfield is probably best position

Canales + David Silva 🔥

[south tree]

Canales alone is 🔥

[devout geyser]

exactly

[torn ermine]

striker is hard

[devout geyser]

striker was hard

but Gerard Moreno was simply best option

[south tree]

Aspas is a good shout but Moreno is better overall

[devout geyser]

Aspas hasnt been amazing this season

[south tree]

Yh

[devout geyser]

Weissman has been good

[south tree]

Moreno has been playing well

[devout geyser]

but not Moreno level

Joselu...

[south tree]

😂 😂

Just picked Joselu cuz no one in the Alaves team is even on his level lol

[devout geyser]

and that says a lot

if you arent even on Joselu's level

@south tree we picked Joselu cuz rest of the team in Alaves is shit

[south tree]

Yeah exactly

[devout geyser]

Joselu is their top scorer

[south tree]

Joselu be carrying the lads ngl

[devout geyser]

and he has finishing on par with a disabled pidgeon

[south tree]

So Atletico vs Chelsea starts in a few minutes

[devout geyser]

yup

im going there

[south tree]

Can we have the predictions ?

From you

I'd personally say Atletico 2 Chelsea 0

[devout geyser]

Im going for that as well

I think Suarez and Llorente will score

[south tree]

Should've played Lodi RB imo , Correa and Llorente are a bit more attack oriented

[devout geyser]

yeah

im worried for Atleti

their 3 back is just terrible

Savic 🥶

[south tree]

Correa could end up playing RB

..

[devout geyser]

yeah so I have a feeling Chelsea will score

reason why im sticking to 2-0 Atleti

[south tree]

4-4-2 would be a better option for atleti

[devout geyser]

is cuz Chelsea have Timo Werner

[south tree]

Lmao

And Atleti have Oblak the wall

[gilded mist]

can i see the full team

[gilded mist]

k found it

[stiff fjord]

I really hate losing to any team in the ucl

especially english teams

Cause the trolling on twitter is massive

[iron marten]

You've gotta deal with it.

[torn ermine]

idk that losing in UCL makes you a farmers league lol

[stiff fjord]

How since I keep getting dm'ed and mentioned in every post that is a troll

[iron marten]

How? Well, simply turn off notifications.

[stiff fjord]

[south tree]

Feeling bad that atleti lost

But at the same time the Goal from giroud was great

[plain elbow]

there’s a genuine opportunity that all our teams apart from RM and villareal will be eliminated this round.

madrid play atalanta tommorow but fuck them of course.

oh and granada may go through as well

[covert monolith]

Lol

[south tree]

Atalanta could take down Real, that too very easily

Real are plagued with injuries as well

[sharp hornet]

sucks yea

even as a neutral it makes me dislike english sides more for that trolling

[plain elbow]

madrid are favorites, but atalanta is no cake walk.

[sharp hornet]

yea

idk if they are favorites anymore with all those injuries

[devout geyser]

Atletico rn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_vHaURM4sg

[iron marten]

Yup

[devout geyser]

respect Granada?

[iron marten]

Granada too, as you mentioned.

[devout geyser]

Atletico were

so

bad

today

[iron marten]

So, wait..

Atlètico, Barcelona, Sevilla are all eliminated, I guess. Real Madrid probably too, Real Sociedad etc.

[devout geyser]

La Liga is finished.

:(

[iron marten]

Every single LaLiga team is going out

[devout geyser]

Atletico and Sevilla have some chance but

I dont think they are going through

Barcelona is done

Sociedad is also done

Villarreal and Granada are through I guess

and Real Madrid, we have to see

[iron marten]

It's not a surprise people have been saying that LaLiga's shit etc.

[devout geyser]

sad tbh.

[iron marten]

I guess we're the new Ligue 1, yep.

[devout geyser]

La Liga used to rule Europe.

[devout geyser]

even Ligue 1 is going ahead of us.

[iron marten]

Mhm

[devout geyser]

all I can say is

Atletico and Sevilla

still have some chance

not a lot but still have a chance

Barcelona and Sociedad, they might as well forfeit 2nd legs

Villarreal and Granada just gotta hold on

and not choke

and Real Madrid hopefully pulls a masterclass tomorrow

[iron marten]

Yeah well, it doesn't matter anymore. We just have to accept that LaLiga's time is over.

[devout geyser]

1st in La Liga.

lost to 4th in Premier League.

Atletico, where did it all go wrong.

1st Chelsea trashed Sevilla 4-0

at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan

and now this

and freaking Giroud was involved in all of them.

[keen gorge]

It all went wrong when half the squad got Covid and Trippier got banned

[plain elbow]

trippier is a huge miss

they lack so much cutting edge without him

[devout geyser]

still though

Hermoso

this dumbass

wtf is wrong with left footed CBs

in La Liga

Clement Lenglet and Mario Hermoso are actual jokers

[opal sigil]

Atleti embarrassing us

But i dont like rma so just call it a season for laliga in ucl

[devout geyser]

@opal sigil Villarreal and Granada will have to carry us

and they are in Europa League

pain.

[opal sigil]

Yep

And they wont reach far imo

[keen gorge]

0-1 loss is an embarrassment but 1-4 is not?

[devout geyser]

Python

[opal sigil]

I mean.. u guys r 1st

[devout geyser]

Barca was more expected to lose

[opal sigil]

Not us

[devout geyser]

pretty sure even Barca fans knew trashing was coming

[iron marten]

That's because we've played our youth team.

[devout geyser]

true

ok Sevilla gets a pass

(for now)

[iron marten]

It wouldn't make a difference since we already passed the group stages.

[keen gorge]

We are just bad since the Sevilla game

[devout geyser]

you are bad since Celta game

[keen gorge]

We were getting results but with bad performance before the Celta game

[stiff fjord]

El pupas hitting again

[iron marten]

Atlètico have just failed, it's a very disappointing result. 0 goals? Shameful..

[devout geyser]

0 shots on target? Shameless.

[iron marten]

0 shots on target?

Wow.

[simple matrix]

well barca usually embarass themselves annually for the past half a decade tbh, but to lose without a single shot on target is up there too lol

bro fuck off goldbridge

[devout geyser]

when Atletico beat Liverpool last season, PL fans said it was a fluke

[stiff fjord]

Yeah

[devout geyser]

but when Chelsea beat Atletico today, PL fans are saying La Liga is finished

agenda at its finest

[iron marten]

Cmon, Little Seal. I told you that it's not a surprise. Remember what I've told you earlier?

[devout geyser]

yeah but its so annoying

we get it Atleti lost

doesnt mean entire league plays like Atleti

[iron marten]

It is what it is, you can't change it right now.

[stiff fjord]

I can

I can ask

[keen gorge]

Goldbridge is an annoying person

Although I kind of like United

[iron marten]

It's mainly because Atlètico are 1st at the moment, that's why everyone thinks LaLiga's shit. Barcelona, Real Madrid & Atlètico are just not at their best anymore, as sad as it sounds like.

[stiff fjord]

Wolves is my favorite in the pl

[simple matrix]

leicester is the best pl team

[iron marten]

You'll have to deal with the banter, guys.

I'm sure some people are already saying: "Ligue 1 > LaLiga"

[stiff fjord]

We should all accept that la liga is dying and brathwaite is the new face of liga smh 😔

Braithwaite- Saponic- Mariano new faces of la liga

[devout geyser]

@stiff fjord respect Joselu?

[stiff fjord]

[slender olive]

Smh

[still pagoda]

Barcelona - Lost
Sevilla - Lost
Atletico - Lost

[covert monolith]

ah yes the double final

[grim thicket]

bald fraud magic incoming

[covert monolith]

ya i definitely think pep will have a masterclass versus Monchengladbach also

[grim thicket]

lol

whatevs

[devout geyser]

inb4 he overthinks

[torn ermine]

and implement a 1-3-6 formation 🥶

[devout geyser]

would be more effective than Koeman's 4-2-3-1 tbf

[torn ermine]

bruh no, koeman is managing barca not city 💀

[devout geyser]

Pep made John Stones good

Koeman still plays Lenglet

[torn ermine]

cold

[devout geyser]

so overall

La Liga in UCL this season:

Barca 1-4 PSG

Sevilla 2-3 Dortmund

Atletico 0-1 Chelsea

🥶

[torn ermine]

🥶

incoming league comparison again smh

[plain elbow]

imo, our best game this season was away in turin. i'm gutted that inconsistency continued to kick in, and that we weren't able to build from that.

[devout geyser]

in all honesty, Barca has beaten no great team this season

except Juventus

but we all know what happened in their 2nd game

[torn ermine]

sadly thats true

[covert monolith]

[slender olive]

I agree

[jovial sluice]

you need to win the treble first JK

[jovial sluice]

by far the best performance

but messi did not know hor to finish at that time

neither did griezmann

and ansu tried to cut back to braithwaite

but failed massively

imo messi is the best pen taker this season

his pens are spot on

[plain elbow]

it was a very weak juve side, but we genuinely could've scored like six.

[jovial sluice]

tbf even our side was weak as hell

we had to play de jong at cb

[plain elbow]

yea, ig.

araujo came off injured

[jovial sluice]

we also missed coutinho who was in red hot form before the injury

also ig pique

[plain elbow]

we felt it was safe to bring on braithwaite despite only being 0-1 up lol

[jovial sluice]

also MATS was injured

[plain elbow]

but yea, we looked like the old barca in that game, which was good of course.

[jovial sluice]

he is the only good player in the back line

[jovial sluice]

old barca with shit defending

they missed de ligt, chiellini and ronaldo

ig demiral is better than chiellini

this season at least

[jovial sluice]

*finishing

[plain elbow]

that day, was the first game we used pjanic and de jong in the double pivot.

[jovial sluice]

we couldn't finish to save our lives

[jovial sluice]

ye true koeman played pjanic just cuz he used to play for juve

[plain elbow]

honestly, idk why koeman didn't decide to stick with that combination. it was decent.

and now, it seems that we've reverted to the 433

[jovial sluice]

arthur is not a snake cuz he was humiliated in the press conference by setien, hardly picked and was disrespected, so the reason why he did not play with us in the UCL last season was because of a person's dignity. So i did not mind when he celebrated against us

but Neymar

he was treated like a king

we were begging him to come back

and he still disrespected us

if barca did not buy him

he would have stayed with west ham

and only lingod and play good there

[jovial sluice]

what do you think will happen in today's match

0 changes

or some changes

if some changes then how much

[plain elbow]

if koeman doesn't make changes, the same old same old stuff will go on.

[jovial sluice]

yes

we will shit house a 1-0

or draw

i don't see us losing tho

[plain elbow]

lenglet needs to be dropped asap, for his own good, and the good of the team.

alba and busquets could use some rest

griezmann as well.

[jovial sluice]

imo busi had an ok game vs cadiz

but he was heavily criticized

[plain elbow]

i'd start trincao.

and riqui puig as well.

and if KDF is the squad, hopefully he gets some minutes too, because he deserves so first team action imo.

[torn ermine]

our youth > our veteran this season

[jovial sluice]

yes

except messi

ofc

he GOAT

[slender olive]

this is still mind blowing to me

on how well the ball control is

[slender olive]

wow

[torn ermine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuBp94Hbvok

i miss pedro so much 😭

[gilded mist]

Pedro was pretty good

He used to play for Tenerife

[gilded mist]

how much did he leave for?

[halcyon latch]

30M i think

[south tree]

Pedro ? The one who plays for Roma now ?

[torn ermine]

yes

[south tree]

Yh

He was a very good player at Barca

Never understood why he joined Chelsea

[torn ermine]

he wanted to leave :((

because of game time tbh

we got neymar and suarez at that time

so its understandable

he is barca legend for sure

[south tree]

If he was still at Barca , he would've got loads of game time

Roma did well tho to capture him now , his experience is vital

[torn ermine]

he is also hardworker on the ball, he shows a great consistency

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HPUeUxidfc&feature=emb_rel_end

take a look at this

[south tree]

I also think Ronaldo going to Serie A probably affected the quality of La Liga as a whole

Messi doesn't have a one on one competition with anyone, anymore

[topaz crest]

holy

that acceleration

[torn ermine]

yeah, its crazy lol

[topaz crest]

i didnt know he possesed the speed

[torn ermine]

he is the most underappreciated player imo

[topaz crest]

rn i think it's benzema

maybe

[torn ermine]

sorry, let me correct my sentence, underappreciated in barca

maybe due to others being too good as well

[jovial sluice]

tbf benzema is said that he is underrated by a lot of people

while almost no1 talks about pedro

such a clutch player

[keen gorge]

aThLeTiCo pArK tHe bUs
aThLeTiCo aRe aNtI fOoTbAlL
#sImEoNeOuTnOw

[south tree]

They do realize that Atletico played fucking Llorente at RB

[keen gorge]

Would be a great day if Elche can win or at least get a draw

[iron marten]

Atlètico mafia!

You know what's up.

[thin ivy]

Atalanta here we goo

Thank god its a holiday here tomorrow

I can stay up

[south tree]

O

Is odriozola gonna play ?

[alpine socket]

Real Madrid is older than humanity

[thin ivy]

Probably not

[south tree]

Okay , Atalanta will have Ilicic, Muriel and Zapata at their disposal so Varane and Nacho gotta be on their toes yh

[thin ivy]

As long as elder doesn't play we arent dying

[south tree]

Who's gonna play RB then ? Vazquez ?

For LB Zizou might play either Mendy or Marcelo , although I'd prefer Mendy

[thin ivy]

Id rather marcelo play RB so lord V can play upfront

Also mendy for LB even when he had that dumbass cross on his own half last game

[iron marten]

Mendy has to play at LB

[thin ivy]

Basically Mendy, Varandini, Walmart Ramos and roberto carlos with hsir

[south tree]

Atalanta have a poor back 3 tho , Romero is the only one who's been solid imo

Real can exploit that weakness very well

[thin ivy]

Idk squat about atalanta but im confident

Papu gomez left them so thats a relief for us

He was a real mid threat

[south tree]

They got a good replacement for Papu tho .. Pessina is probably just as good

[grave glen]

LaLiga

[south tree]

Ok

[thin ivy]

We'll see

[grave glen]

ye

[south tree]

Yh Real should give it their all, Zizou is a great coach so I believe he could find a solution

[thin ivy]

This is my xi

Marcelo. Nacho. Varane. Mendy

Modric. Casemiro. Kroos

Asensio. Mariano. Lord Vasquez

[south tree]

Good lineup

What's your prediction then for the match

[thin ivy]

I can smell either kroos or modric scoring

Thats it for now lol

[south tree]

Lol

[thin ivy]

But if its a stalematw at 80" and fucking vini and park comes on, you already know we're conceding a goal

[south tree]

@thin ivy is this a good lineup ? I've used a 4-1-4-1 here

Literally the same as yours , but I used a different formation

[late kernel]

No choice to start Mariano up-front

[still pagoda]

Cmon Casemiro please save us

score again

[thin ivy]

Yeahh that could work but theres just no way zizou will change his beloved 433 formation. Im sure hed rather play modric as goalkeeper than play anything other than 433 lmao

But personally id rather go 442 to than 4141 since i dont trust mariano all that much lol

[still pagoda]

Marcelo is injured

And Mendy wont play RB

So Mendy at LB, and Vazquez at RB

And Vinicius, Mariano and Asensio front 3

Incredible how we went from Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema, to Vinicius, Mariano and Asensio 😭

[south tree]

🤣

Rodrygo is fit ?

[still pagoda]

No

Hes injured

[south tree]

..

Sad

Would've seen him instead of Vini

[still pagoda]

I think playing Fede at RW would be a great idea

hes played there before

and hes quick too

but hes injured

..

[south tree]

.....

[thin ivy]

Can we not play vasquez at rb please

[south tree]

How many subs do you expect to be there ? 3 ? 4 ?

[thin ivy]

Omg

[thin ivy]

4 ish but we're probably not using more than 2

[south tree]

Isco will be on the bench probably

[still pagoda]

is fede back for this game?

[thin ivy]

Isnt he injured?

[south tree]

Wtf

[still pagoda]

yea

hes injured

[thin ivy]

Like everyone is injured man

All 3 LaLiga teams lost so far, that too at home. Is Madrid next?

[south tree]

Atalanta's defence is trash but attack is good

[upper drift]

Ik

That’s worse lol

[still pagoda]

[still pagoda]

[upper drift]

Tóloi, Romero and Djimisti is a decent defense

[alpine socket]

Let's go! 😢 😢

[south tree]

I'm sure Toloi and Djimsiti can neutralize fucking Vini yh

[still pagoda]

he will do nothing the whole game

our midfield has to run the show

is atalanta midfield good?

[south tree]

Yes

[still pagoda]

idk much about alalanta

and there players

[south tree]

Freuler and de roon are class

[thin ivy]

Pray to god asensio doesnt play crossbar challenge later

[still pagoda]

Modric and Kroos are better than them so thats good atleast

[still pagoda]

🥶

[south tree]

Atalanta play a 3-5-2 modified into a 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-1-2

[thin ivy]

If we dont score by halftime zidane better step up and replace mariano

[still pagoda]

and we play 4-3-3

thats it

[south tree]

4-2-3-1 would be better than 4-3-3

[still pagoda]

who'll play next to casemiro tho

[thin ivy]

442 imo

[south tree]

Modric

[thin ivy]

Mariano just cant go solo fw

[south tree]

Kroos as CAM

[thin ivy]

And we cant waste modric as cdm

Hes an attaking option

[still pagoda]

Modric sometimes drops to cdm but thats not where hes good at

[south tree]

Modric can play as a deep lying playmaker

Casemiro as a ball winning midfielder

[thin ivy]

He needs up front imo

[still pagoda]

yeah

[thin ivy]

Front 3 will judt go offside

[still pagoda]

Casemiro has to play ST

and Varane at CAM

[south tree]

Looool

[still pagoda]

but then we wont have a cb

[south tree]

Vini at GK

Courtois at CB

[still pagoda]

yep

[thin ivy]

Mendy can cover cb solo

[still pagoda]

hm yea

[south tree]

Asensio as CDM yh

[torn ermine]

lets go 😔

[alpine socket]

Let's go

[thin ivy]

Yeah imma kms if you two ever become madrid manager

[south tree]

Mingueza gotta start man

[torn ermine]

im just gonna enjoy the game, i dont expect anything

[south tree]

Lenglet should be benched imo

[still pagoda]

Lenglet should be binned imo

[iron marten]

Koeman's going to play the same lineup, watch.

[south tree]

Fuck lenglet that idiot's ruining Barca

[still pagoda]

but Koeman is going to play the exact same lineup, as Alicia said

he will

[alpine socket]

The fate of a barcelona coach might be decided by a game against Elche.

[south tree]

Pique isn't good but not as bad as Lenglet

[thin ivy]

Pique is better than ramos

[south tree]

The coach isn't the problem , players are

[torn ermine]

the slander on koeman is unreal, im glad for what he has done this season

[torn ermine]

exactly

[still pagoda]

@thin ivy How would a 4-1-2-1-2 Narrow be?

[south tree]

No vini plz

[iron marten]

Setien would've done worse for sure if he kept on going.

[south tree]

Mariano up front

For vini

[alpine socket]

Ha ha

[still pagoda]

Mariano 🥶

[south tree]

Setien should've played a 3 man backline

He's better in doing that

[torn ermine]

oh alicia, please dont mention that name again

[iron marten]

It's the truth, I don't think any Barca fan expected more from him after the 2-8 loss.

[thin ivy]

Thats asking for a 3-1 loss

[south tree]

Bayern were more clinical

In that 8-2 win

[thin ivy]

Bruh can we not start vini por favorrrrrr

[south tree]

Ofc setien had to take responsibility and he was deservedly sacked

[thin ivy]

All vini does is run with the ball and lose it

[alpine socket]

when is the pres elections

[south tree]

Sprint and inshallah

[iron marten]

I sure won't anymore, he's one of the worst managers for Barcelona, saying stuff like: "My team will always play well, no matter what."

[thin ivy]

Me in any football videogame

[south tree]

Lmao

[thin ivy]

Theres just no inshallah with anyone but benzema

And honestly we have to stop with the inshallah spam

We gotta attack through mid

[torn ermine]

i still remember when everyone knows setien plays chess, most of the fanbase be like: oh this coach is a genius or something
I was like: bro seriously 💀

[thin ivy]

Or if we playing through wings at least dribble in

[south tree]

That's why a 4-3-1-2 or a 4-4-2 would be better

[thin ivy]

4312 or 442 yeahh

[south tree]

Isco as a LM , Modric RM, Mariano and asensio up front , Vini as a sub

[thin ivy]

But zidane and 433 is like ramos and taunting players

Is isco okay?

[south tree]

Idk I'll see just wait

For a few seconds

[thin ivy]

I still dont understand y we didnt do anything last transfer window man

[south tree]

Isco isn't on the injured list so yh he's okay

[thin ivy]

We just keot on getting rid of players

[thin ivy]

Fuck yeah hope he starts

[torn ermine]

perez is saving money for stadium

[thin ivy]

As long as we dont start vini, wear the pink kit and play lv at rb then we can win

[south tree]

You have one thing going for you tho , Hateboer their best RM isn't playing

[thin ivy]

Ayy

Wsh we can score three

So atalanta gets depresso espresso in second leg

[still pagoda]

imagine if we wear pink

[thin ivy]

Fuck the pink kit

[still pagoda]

💀

[south tree]

Mæhle will start instead of Hateboer

[thin ivy]

Bad luck kit

[south tree]

I personally feel Madrid should be on the offensive in this game try to get 2 or more goals

[thin ivy]

Same

[torn ermine]

who is playing away?

[still pagoda]

us

[south tree]

Madrid away

[torn ermine]

ok

then you should seek for goals

[still pagoda]

yea

[thin ivy]

Mendy better not try and assist an opponent again

[south tree]

Injured players list btw
