Getafe - FC Pedro | La Liga Matchday 17 | Sun Dec 22, 2013

Pedro GOAT

My counter jinx tactics worked very well. You can all thank me for this.

We won. Lets just keep it with that. Hope we recover well, have fully fit players and improved tactics when we face athletico. 3 points in the pocket.

Plus Neymar was suspended for this match. So Martino just went ahead and let him leave early on vacation since he wasn't available anyway. Plus he said Neymars hardly rested in forever which is true

The thread title.

Looks like the old Pedro is returning  

Fàbregas is ought to be the weirdest player I've seen in my life. He's invisible for the entire first 30 minutes of the match and then he plays a GOAT through ball to Pedro which lead to the goal.

Anyway, fantastic comeback by Barcelona and Pedro was superb in the build up to it. HOWEVER, that defence is still shaky as hell. 5/12 goals conceded this season have been from corners. Surely Martino is thinking of signing a CB in January...

9 goals, 11 assists for Cesc halfway through the season.

Danyjr he's represented by Mendes, not happening.

Pedro should have 4 in his name, one was wrongly called offside.

We are proving every game that our improvement in defence was mostly cause of Valdes. With Pinto, we are back to conceding 1.5 goals per game.

Yeah, Valdes would have definitely saved that point blank header from 2 yards out.

My thoughts exactly. To me VV was the MVP so far this season for us.

Anyway, great to see Pedro giving Alexis some competition, though Alexis was not bad i think.

Glad that it seems Tata is adopting more our regular style, now we should go back marking zonally in corners because we have already conceded 5 corners this season.

Martino is at fault for Valdés being injured though, he made him sprint.

My bad, I forgot.

Every single Barca fan should get in line and lick Tata's ass tbh. He's basically running an entire La Liga campaign without Messi (8 of 49 goals from Messi, 1 of them penalty + 2 meaningless goals in Levante's 7-0 trashing - his influence has been minimal) and leading the table 5 points ahead of Real Madrid with most goals scored. Getafe have never before conceded 5 goals in their own stadium. If anyone claimed this was possible last season, jiopsi would have run riot.

Valdes is really great; was having on of his best seasons ever

Pinto is not that good.

What did you expect? We went from having a A+ class keeper to a C class keeper. Things are going to get past him and it will be noticed.

We still need to be more consistent.

We can't play the way we did in the first 30 minutes against any CL opposition. I shudder to think how that would have gone against a team like Man City. Of course, since we are so vastly superior to Getafe, it didn't matter, but we still need to be better earlier. We were shaky early on against Villareal too, and went through some bad stretches in addition to some very good ones.

lmaoooooooooo

who do you guys think it is?

Tello and Pedro?

He means the naked ass in the background.

Pique said it's either Song (obviously not), Bartra, Pepe Costa or Altimira. Probably Altimira?

why was this necessary to mention a 5 point lead with R. Madrid when they are the 3rd best team since the start of this season. what important is to mention the lead that we have with the 2nd placed team that is 0 right now.

Anyway, no doubt Tata has done something that no one did before. removing Messi dependency is a difficult task that he did even before half the season passed.

Pedro in godmode
amazing game from him... the defense though...
