Força Barça!

Messi finally has his first vacation in over 4 years and has a pretty big chance of scoring his first hattrick in the first league game. Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Oh wow 4-1, took alot longer to score that one pfft, haha. 4-1 40minutes played is unreal. Pedro joins the partay

And indeed Twisted, most of the players i've seen, Prem games and Ronaldo in particular look really lackluster. The whole Madrid side in general looked tired before the game started.

Messi will probably out shine mr Ronaldo for a good few weeks before he is back to his best me thinks.

dani alves with a huge blunder. 1-1 barca vs. real scociedad

and then messi just takes over 2-1

Alvez is always a liability, cocky cunt that relies on his pace to get him out of trouble.

Sociedad not the best defending at times. Pedros goal was pobably the only one wih a genuine forced error.

As for the Madrid game i think they played well , passing,movement, pace was all there. Maybe no final produt but Valenia quite lucky to hold out and are a pretty good team anyway. I wouldnt be worried at all going forward if i were Madrid although dropping points is never fun.

Also watch out for Greizman for france possibly in the future if he has a decent season. Kids got skills.

@Pandemona: I think showing a lackluster or 'tired' form is also caused by the heat probably. Even in Holland today we almost had a national heat record. Think it went up to 36-37+ degrees celcius. I'm not sure how it looks in England? Probably hot as well?

Now that Barça can play at 9 PM and the fact that it's probably a bit cooler in Barcelona because of the sea nearby and it being more to the north might be the cause why Barça and Messi in particular look very fit compared to Madrid.

Btw: dat pass : O, too bad it was offside.

From what I've seen so far of Tito I have faith in him. He saw Puyol being a bit shaky and introduced Pique and saw Cesc having a shit game and subs him for Iniesta. Pep would've never made such an early sub and when subbing for another midfielder instead of subbing Cesc he'd sub out Pedro or Tello and stick Cesc into attack. That was the only thing I hated about Pep, his subs were so bad.

Haha that sounds odd because when Pep was still in charge Tito actually decided all of the substitutes as well . Maybe he was just fucking around when Pep was in charge though so he can overshadow his former boss :p.

Imo those were predetermined rotations, winning easy means give puyol a rest, iniesta in good form doesnt need a start. cesc played fine i dont know what anyone was expecting of him he helped control the flow and the tempo.

I dont kow what you saw last season but this is a fairly regular occurence in league games for Barca even under Pep. Ofc the false 9 thing will be less frequent since thy have solid options for a front 3 again Cesc can just be a regular playmaker with an eye for goal. A role he performed fine today.

They could've been predetermined subs but I'm definitely liking the subs today instead of those Pep/Tito did during Pep era. They make much more sense.

And im tellin you it was pretty similar last year. Most of the big game adjustments you are talking about were circumstantial, injuries, plyers not in touch. Doesnt seem appear to me you saw to many games if ou havent noticed.

Not ignoring. I just said that by his first game Tito is making better subs than Pep/Tito would make. Also remember how late Pep would sub someone out? Like he wouldn't make a sub until it was like 75th minute and that happened a lot sometimes. Surely that Tito himself didn't choose subs without Peps consent.

Well regardless of wether thats true or not (i dont know), ill take your word or it, but my point is you dont have to know that to see the style is the same for comfortable league games.

I think theyll rotate like for likes a bit more heavily this season though. That was a genuine problem last year subs will prbably play alot longer.

Heard it mentioned a few times during the commentary (Dutch) or maybe in the nr1 football talk show in Holland.

Not the best of sources I suppose but they don't just spread nonsense like that without cause. Wouldn't make any sense to make that up out of thin air.

Alright. It just doesn't make any sense to me that the assistant coach is the one responsible for making the substitutions. I mean the head coach is the one who takes full responsibility for what happens in a match. He's the one in charge, why would he trust such a task to his assistant. Obviously we can expect the assistant to advise the coach and maybe be responsible for some substitutions, but being in full control of that task is just weird to me.

Well that's the way I see it, maybe my thought is flawed and its common practice in other teams too, I have no clue tbh.
