F.C. Barcelona (5)-(3) Granada Match review.

 Ah, a great match at last. 

Barcelona come back from two goals behind in the second half, to winning 5-3 ! Doesn't that sound great ? Of course it does. 




Now, this wasn't a perfect match by any means. The defense was poor, to say the least. But the attack, it gets me out of my seat. A whopping 36 shots. More than 25 on target. three or four on the bar. Barca should have killed the game long before. A great, great display from all the attackers. Griezmann was by- far the most decisive and Messi was the reason of three of the five goals we scored. Trincao was unfortunate to not score himself. Again, a brilliant display. 
The most important thing of them all is the way Barca fought back. Tens of shots on target but none of them went in. And still, we did not give up. Hats off to Griezmann for reaching that first ball from Lionel Messi. That was sheer determination right there. And a minute before the end of time, a very similar ball from Messi over the top to griezmann and he cushions it for Alba and bam ! we're level !
A similar story in the extra time, many chances, 'only' three went in. 
Also, i looked it up and we are statistically the best team in Spain. Good stuff huh. I just want Barcelona to continue what they are doing. They're doing it great. I will just expect Umtiti to not make more mistakes because I still trust him. 
Let me know your thoughts below !

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...
