Match Review FCB V/S Sevilla

 Two Points dropped, concerning or not ?

I don't know, but let's analyse the game. 

The start was not convincing (again) but the team really reacted well and scored, kept attacking, but could not grab a goal. Well, there was a scare in sight which was thankfully avoided. This all seems to be negative, but I think that except the fifteen minutes(10 min in start and 5 in the next half) we played good, attacking football, and were in control. Which brings us to the question that why did we not score ? We again lacked the finishing touch. Not a new thing anymore. Play Braithwaite then ! Well, I guess it is as simple as swapping Messi and Griezmann's positions. But, I don't know, maybe Koeman has something in his mind. I mean, Griezmann is so invisible in the games, that there is rarely anything in his heatmap. A point or two. That's all. He needs to act a bit mature if Koeman isn't. 

Neto- 7

A nice game overall, but conceded one, ruining his record. That's alright. 

Roberto- 7

Again, an average game, a few good moments and nothing terrible. 

Araujo- 8

Now we are talking. Starting his first la liga game, he was phenomenal. 

Pique- 7

Nothing more to be expected from Pique, solid defense, solid distribution, and we need him. Until of course, we get Garcia. 

Jordi Alba- 7.5

Not quite like the first game, but a decent game for him. A few crosses in there. Formed a part in the goal, yeah. Solid game. 

De Jong- 6

Not necessarily a bad match, but we expect a lot better from him, and that did not happen. 

Busquets- 7

He definitely was good today, but I don't want to appreciate him anymore... I really love his game, but at some point, we have to move on, especially in the fast moving games. 

Messi- 8.5

Phenomenal again. 

Coutinho- 9

My Man of the Match again. That's interesting, a flop ! Yeah, he is now really up and running. 

Ansu Fati- 8.5

Another perfect performance, but I think he needs some rest, which he will be getting during international break, but he does not have to play every match right now. Dembele and Trincao are waiting in the stands. 

That's it then.

Barca: A season to forget- Left Wing/ Midfielder

THE PLAYERS- I am not considering Coutinho and Griezmann Left Wingers. 1. Ansu Fati- An  astoundingly ridiculous revelation this season, Ansu Fati will surely be a major part any success we are * hoping * for. His speed and aggressiveness is always channeled and timed well. He can create something out of very little. This is the quality we were craving for, and we have got it in the form of Ansu.  2. Pedri- I know, he is not a first team member just yet, but that is not to say he won't recieve first time action. I think when Ansu needs rest, Pedri should get some starts against less physical sides like Villarreal. Conclusion- After two seasons after Neymar left, we finally have two very good wingers on both flanks. This is definitely good !

Barca: A season to forget- What needs to change ?

What needs to change, in order to win the champions league this August ? So, I can'y really talk about mentality because I am not aware of the happenings in the dressing room, so, let's talk about tactics. Formations and player roles.  TYPE 1- 4-1-2-1-2 narrow Goalkeeper- Ter Stegen two center backs- Pique and Lenglet/ Pique and Araujo Right back- Semedo Left back- Jordi Alba Holding Midfielder- Sergio Busquets Two Central Midfielders- Riqui Puig and Vidal/De Jong /Rakitic Attacking Midfielder- Messi Two strikers- Suarez and Griezmann/ Fati ( He can definitely play there)               This formation was used in the last five games of league and it was evident that it worked fine only when the opposition was not ultra defensive. Napoli, sadly, is ultra defensive. In this formation, the defence has usual work. In the midfield, Busquets has to stay deep and think attacking. He needs to put ball forward after intercepting passes or gettiing ball...

Barca-1 : RMA -3

 Of Course it's the match review.  Look, we played well. If that calms you down, it should not. We need to win to show for it. No matter how many chances are created, until they are put away. Real Madrid were, by far the second best side today. But, they won. Maybe that's because of the VAR decision, but we need to understand that we should have been at least 3-1 up at that point. There's no excuse for that kind of finishing, in an El Clasico, the PREMIER FOOTBALLING SHOWCASE. At least it used to be. Now, there were some things more alarming, and some good ones, but as has been the case this season, finishing remains to be sharp. So, what are the even more negative things ? 1. Busquets. Yeah. I said it before, I will say it again, De Jong and Busquets can't play together. They do not complement each other. For details, click  here  . 2. The day Koeman was appointed, I had one, singular doubt about him. his passiveness. That is what we saw today. Yes, starting Pedri a...
