La Liga Discussion 2017/18 part 3

Then psoitve poi t is that they did not let up in second half, something that has been a staple this season. I'm sure when they scored millions of madridisata collectively thought "oh no" I sure did I was sharpening my knives already

Coutinho's first start.

Some nice moves there.

De Gea who?

MaTS

Coutinho clowning now, Doesn't seem free in his personality imo

Lmao at the defense there.

Why are we over committing this early and leave MaTS on his own

I expect Alaves to be out of staming at 59 minutes.

Would've been down by 3-4 goals if not for ter Stegen.

Why would you put orange advertsiment on the behinds of white football shorts.
Alaves players all look like they shit themselves with some unhealthy looking stuff

Suarez back to his sucking self.

Unbelievable save

Suarez.

Suarez

Alaves completely out of it, now strike.

Messi

Best free kick taker ever?

Where is Monica and his Refdrid accusations? Both Barcelona goals should have been written off.

Alaves robbed. The FK was conceived from offside position. Alaves had a penalty not called. That being said, Alaves should have had more yellow cards and a player sent off early. Poor refereeing is definitely a norm in la liga.

EDIT: What was wrong with the first goal?

Haha, Wakaso should've had four yellows alone in this game.

Nothing, Dany is a dummy

Coutinho got subbed off and after that Barca scored 2

Yeah, the formation was unbalanced as hell, invidual quality made many good attacks, but because nobody knew where anyone was, somebody always missed pass at some point.

Hit Piqué's hand on the way to the goal.

Also I don't think Umtiti handball was deliberate. I need to watch it again though.

Watched both, and they were both not deliberate. Piques was clear from the start to me. He was not even looking at the ball just covered his head to avoid any injury. Umtiti seamed like he conveniently let the hand there, but now I see the ref was right, he had no time to move.

But, the FK should have been offside and alaves should have played with at least one player sent out. The ref was not having any standard, some fouls were yellow and after that you can butcher whoever you want, cuz you aint getting a second yellow.
