Zaza and Paulinho looking like useful players in Spain...

HighSix · « **Reply #841 on:** September 20, 2017, 03:17:57 am »

Paulinho adding everything the Barce midfield has been lacking in. He will be huge in the games vs the Madrid clubs.

Yes agree. Thought it was a bad buy his doing very well for he team.

Am impressed with the Barcelona start. Vast improvement on the supercup performances

The results are great but the performances are not as good. At times, Barca look shaky.

Real Madrid struggling at home one again, almost 70 mins in and still 0-0.

Almost a brilliant goal from Bale.

Is that the Barragan who briefly played for us who keeps getting clattered in the head?

Damn, if the result remains, Barca will already have 6 pts lead to them in 5 matches only. I doubt anyone saw this coming after their cup matches.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #852 on:** September 20, 2017, 10:37:26 pm »

Selling Morata and not replacing him was somewhat strange. He was a good back up.

Hazell · « **Reply #853 on:** September 20, 2017, 10:51:57 pm »

Nice.

Haha Betis nick it at the death.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #855 on:** September 20, 2017, 10:52:16 pm »

Real Madrid totally lost their shape towards the end of the game. Betis messed up a number of counter attacks but they finally make Real pay.

FlashGordon · « **Reply #856 on:** September 20, 2017, 10:52:53 pm »

Could see that Betis goal coming for 10 minutes. Madrid didn't want to know about defending. Betis could've scored 2 or 3 in the last 10 minutes.

FlashGordon · « **Reply #857 on:** September 20, 2017, 10:54:30 pm »

Just goes to show a run like that can even happen to the best team in the world.

elsewhere · « **Reply #858 on:** September 20, 2017, 10:54:39 pm »

Haha they are collapsing big time, 3 matches at home, 2 draws and a loss. Already 7 points behind Barcelona. I can see Zidane getting sacked.

He just extended his contract, but this is Real Madrid we're talking about, so you're probably right.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #860 on:** September 20, 2017, 10:56:45 pm »

Ronaldo is a penalty area player now. Phenomenal goalscorer still but he offers virtually nothing outside the 18 yard area these days.

Betis play some seriously good football at times, despite obviously having to defend much of the time tonight. Madrid were cross after cross after cross after cr

That's him. On loan from Boro apparently. Nice assist for the winner.

robgomm · « **Reply #863 on:** September 20, 2017, 10:57:47 pm »

Not celebrated a goal for anyone except Liverpool in ages, love seeing Madrid get turned over at home. The whiniest of whiners on that team.

Exactly, not saying it would be the right thing to do. It will probably be the stupidest thing they did but i won't be surprised if he gets sacked. Zidane won't be short of offers.

Can happen when a team has such success. Only takes a small percentage drop off.

They are playing at Alaves next,a team that lost all of their matches and still haven't scored a single goal in 5 matches. Now imagine the meltdown if Real Madrid loses points there.

That's the first time Real Madrid have lost at home in #LaLiga, to a team other than Barça or Atleti, since 2011.

If this was Barca from 3 seasons ago, I would say that the league is already over considering they are ahead by 7 points. However, Barca are massively reliant on Messi right now, Suarez is a shadow of himself and Dembele is out for four months. I'm not convinced that Barca won't drop 7 points before they play Real.

Having said that, this is a pooor poor start by Madrid, still hungover from the double which is understandable.

You think Suarez benefited a lot more than people realise from Neymar/Messi or he's just having a dip in form? Can't doubt his class but he isn't looking the same at the minute, frustrated almost

Zidane is criticized for rotating too much, not buying replacement for Morata and Pepe. I doubt that was hic decision to not buy, also i thought he rotates due to injuries?
