mrmojorisin75 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Well, that was about what I expected to be honest. But this is a marathon, not a sprint, and I expect us to improve quite a bit throughout the season. weird game, you lost it for me in the wide areas with marcelo and the other lads tearing you to shreds down both flanks but you offered sweet FA yourselves in the same areas at the other end of the pitch lost count how many times mathieu especially (but also alves) got forward into good positions and did nothing with it interesting your positive take on things, i didn't take a lot of positives from that for you once you went behind, in particular what are you going to do with CM? seems to me you look a significant amount of class and dynamism in there, they were far to static and slow yesterday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Mathieu had a good game imho. Xavi shouldn't play in this kind of big games unless he's part of a four-man midfield. I would have started Rakitic instead of Suárez and thrown in Suárez in the second half. Yeah I don't agree, Mathieu looked out of breath after two or three forward runs and couldn't contain James at all. Gave James too much space and time on the ball as Neymar wasn't covering the left flank either. Agreed with mrmojorisin, although I do think that the midfield has been good during the season when it's been Busquets behind Iniesta and Rakitic. Should be the starting trio without a doubt, without Rakitic there is like you say no dynamism there no movement at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Rakitic didn't play, he has been class and brings everything you think we lack: class and dynamism. But was weirdly dropped for Xavi. And I'm not "positive", we were outclassed. It's just that I do believe there's more than what was on show yersterday, and we'll get better throughout the season.

Incognito Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Did Koeman play with Hughes at Barca? Id say there was a good 5 years or so between Hughes and Koeman at Barca. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Did Koeman play with Hughes at Barca? Id say there was a good 5 years or so between Hughes and Koeman at Barca. They just seemed to be very friendly with each other on the touchline before the game so thought it might have been that. Bit before my time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
