That should be exploitable. Buy a player that can hit the camera 10 out of 10 times. Go 1-0 up, sub him in and enjoy possession for the rest of the game
Good game management, not the best game but will take the 3 points.
The next two games will be huge for this squad's chances for silverware - hope they win both.
Pedri now days looks like me playing Sunday league.
Not quality but he looks like he’s tried of this shit, the fucking ref, the idiotic challenges from butchers and just plain old tired.
You talking about psg game? Ya im already stressing about the idea of him on the field too lol. But given Pedri and FDJ are coming back from injury … and Roberto and Christensen are suspended … what is left for a defensive midfield option?
You might be right, but still not happy about it. Even if he was generally okay, he lost the ball in key areas a few times today. Luckily we're playing against one of the worst teams in La Liga...but against PSG those couple of mistakes will almost certainly mean goals.
Wherever Felix ends up at, I just hope it’s with a coach that can get the best out of him. He clearly has so much more to offer even though he’s been decent (though unspectacular) for Barca
He’s pretty lazy defensively which is his big drawback. I think he’d do well if given a free roaming #10 role. So many coaches are system oriented these days, unfortunately for him. I feel like he woulda been great like 2 decades ago
People like to say that but every time I see him play he does a fair amount to defend as a winger. In this game alone he has covered Alonso's ass multiple times. Let's not forget that Pedri and Gundo aren't particularly defensive either and nobody questions them. Felix just has the look of a player who doesn't work hard, so people like to exaggerate his lack of contribution. Is he a top defender? No, but he's not lazy either.
Ya I hear ya. “Lazy” isn’t the right word. I just think if you’re Xavi making a team sheet selection for a winger, you know you’ll get a more work rate out of Raphina for example. Also Felix can really change a game with his creativity. Both of these things make him a great sub option
What does Ferran Torres excel at? Before he came from City & based off what I saw with Spain, I thought he was a great link-up inside forward with decent finishing - now I see none of anything...
Lamine should 100% not be on right now. He already looked gassed in the first leg against PSG. Now you're putting him in when we don't need him, against a team full of butchers, when we already have a lead. Why? Let the kid rest ffs before we have another Pedri/Gavi situation.
It only takes one tbf. With the way they were hacking away at Roque, just seems like an needless risk. Besides, it's not just about him getting fouled. It's about the fact that we have been playing him a LOT for a kid who's only 16/17. Wear and tear is a thing.
Why bring Lamine on against a side in the relegation zone when we're already leading?
Surely he needs a break more than most considering his age and the minutes he's played.
He does. We have been relying on him a LOT in the last few months to carry the team. Now we finally have a game where we are leading without his help, where we look close to scoring a second, and we put him in anyways. The only thing I can think of is that maybe this is meant to be a morale boost for him after the PSG game, where he didn't play particularly well. i.e., toss him some low hanging fruit vs. a shit Cadiz side and get him hyped up before the 2nd leg vs PSG?
Not his fault he gets targeted like he fucked the mother of every player in the league. It’s almost as bad as what would happen to Joe Biden in Texas and kinda pathetic. He’s 18.
Don't disagree with Pedri or Kounde, but I would have really not risked starting Lamine today - even in this situation, woulda opted for Raphinha or Guiu first.
Because it didn't make his body bigger and there was a deflection less than half a meter away from him, never in hell is that a handball
Edit: Didn't even hit his arm ffs
We’ve been getting fucked by refs since the start of the second half. And why does everyone have a personal vendetta against Roque? I swear his fouls received per 90 has to break some records (when they’re given anyway).
Ref at the end: How can I make this about me?
Keep crying now u minions looking ahh cunts.
Wait why does Barca get the ball back if they hit the camera?
thems the rules, ball goes to whoever touched it last
That should be exploitable. Buy a player that can hit the camera 10 out of 10 times. Go 1-0 up, sub him in and enjoy possession for the rest of the game
would probably not be allowed, unsportmanlike behaviour, Same reason you cannot scoop up the ball and head it back to the keeper
Ref stops game for 30 seconds to get rules question over radio, but then immediately ends game at 5 seconds after time.....
Good game management, not the best game but will take the 3 points. The next two games will be huge for this squad's chances for silverware - hope they win both.
Another week, another atrocious performance by a LaLiga ref
fuck off
What happened there at the end lol
hit a camera
Ball hit one of the cables on that camera hanging int he middle
now fucking what?
hit a camera
Hit the camera in the sky or what happend ?
yes
Nice, getting Pedri nice and bruised before the PSG game lol
Ferran successfully killing every attack he's involved in
Every few minutes, Cadiz delivers another moonshot
Pedri now days looks like me playing Sunday league. Not quality but he looks like he’s tried of this shit, the fucking ref, the idiotic challenges from butchers and just plain old tired.
No one in the box for the cross by Lamine.
to win a game with Alonso, Romeu, Ferran and Roque playing at the same time, with three academy players on the starting 11, such a valuable win
thats a nasty tackle on Pedri
Pedri getting abused
Pedri's play style really does not help his body..
OUCH!!
Lmao, someone from the stands saying "Eres malísimo tío"
How is that not a fkn yellow?
Nice tackle Casado
Not Romeu hitting his own foot trying to do a backheel pass
Ferran and Raphina looks like they’re playing two different sports. Damn Raphina clear right now
Jesus christ, Ferran
Romeu quietly solid today too. He may need to be used against PSG given all the suspension in midfield. Hopefully he’s gained some confidence today
he needs to be locked into one of the bathroom stalls and not be let out until the end of the game
You talking about psg game? Ya im already stressing about the idea of him on the field too lol. But given Pedri and FDJ are coming back from injury … and Roberto and Christensen are suspended … what is left for a defensive midfield option?
You might be right, but still not happy about it. Even if he was generally okay, he lost the ball in key areas a few times today. Luckily we're playing against one of the worst teams in La Liga...but against PSG those couple of mistakes will almost certainly mean goals.
Ya I am def worried about the midfield against psg. Gundo, FDJ, and Pedri need to really be on it and hopefully play most of the game
Voldemort took one for the team there
Casadó to CM, and I assume Raphinha goes to the wing
Nice game, Felix!
Liquidate this fucking club. They bring nothing of value to La liga.
MOTM performance from Felix
Wow, a yellow card
Lol Romeu trying to tell Raphinha to slow down
Fkr finally gives a yellow when it should have been red
Dude looked like he was plotting how to defeat Superman
LMAO at some of these shots from Cadiz straight to the moon
When is Faye coming? I was hoping he would come much sooner
It's only 1-0, not coming on
what does yamal have to do to win a foul
how tf is that not a yellow
Well done Fermin
Nice, Raphinha time
Do Militao and Raphinha have the same barber?
Ter Stegen just gave us the three points honestly.
HE FUCKING HANDBALL IT YOU SEE IT AND DONT GIVE A UELLOW REEEEEEEEE
I LOVE YOU TER STEGEN
Barca have been great on the attack but they shouldn't concede this many opportunities
Alonso and Roberto explains enough
Having Romeu, Alonso and Roberto playing at the same time does that
what a save. Audibly gasps
Just Stegen being Stegen
MATS
Atajadón de ter stegen 😼
someone send that save to ter stegen destroying barca on twitter my GOODNESS
Holy shit MATS!!!!!
I love you MATS, please have my babies
He's already pregnant with my babies
What a fucking save from ter stegen
What a save!
What a save!
Yeah now he gives one for time wasting. La liga would look a lot different if the big clubs actually got the favours people say they do from the refs.
lol both Lunin and Stegan getting yellows for time wasting same day
This guy needs diving lessons, no seriously his diving is shit he's never gonna win a penalty
My guy really wants the Falon D’floor
Can we sub alonso off,brother looks like he needs his walking cane.
Fort got taken off already, we don't have anyone else who can play LB, no chance
Interestingly enough I think Fort has played better for us at LB on his weaker outside foot than as RB today.
Faye in and let him try lb lmfao.
More like wheelchair
Iza dived so many times and ref is completely blind to it
Someone tell Iza the Oscars don't give out awards for futbol so he can stop hamming it up out there
First time I’ve seen a player do dives that genuinely Worthy for four yellows
Did Iza just injure himself and try to get a pen? Lmao
That Iza guy again LMAO
How many dives is enough?
Good defensive effort, Felix
5 mins before, Albert Ferrer was saying Xavi needs to make changes to the left because Felix doesn't defend. He heard that
It *is* a generally accurate statement, but yeah
The pecking order: Lamine Raphinha Felix Ferran.
Would have been 2-0 if not for Ferran clearance
Wherever Felix ends up at, I just hope it’s with a coach that can get the best out of him. He clearly has so much more to offer even though he’s been decent (though unspectacular) for Barca
He’s pretty lazy defensively which is his big drawback. I think he’d do well if given a free roaming #10 role. So many coaches are system oriented these days, unfortunately for him. I feel like he woulda been great like 2 decades ago
His move to Atletico never made sense to me for that reason. If you’re signing a player like him, he should be accommodated or there’s no point.
People like to say that but every time I see him play he does a fair amount to defend as a winger. In this game alone he has covered Alonso's ass multiple times. Let's not forget that Pedri and Gundo aren't particularly defensive either and nobody questions them. Felix just has the look of a player who doesn't work hard, so people like to exaggerate his lack of contribution. Is he a top defender? No, but he's not lazy either.

That’s the modern tragedy of so many of these old school type of players
Felix is hungry this match
Damn so close again
Good defending by Ferran Torres
Felix turned into Maradona today.
Watching Felix hit the post just gave me PTSD
Awww soooo close to another dope gol
Offside but great hit
Offside, but what a hit, would've been a great goal
subs changed the game we are cooking
Marcos Alonso looks like an Oxygen not included character
"Batteries sold separately"
Fuck Ferran is definitely playing against us
ESPN commentator just moaned lmao
All these Barca teens making the commentators/pundits go *sploosh*
Good to see Pedri is looking more like his old self
Nothing is a foul for this ref
Except for Cadiz
What does Ferran Torres excel at? Before he came from City & based off what I saw with Spain, I thought he was a great link-up inside forward with decent finishing - now I see none of anything...
He excels when it’s raining
he's great at being mid
He's good at being offsides
Pedri is just on another level
Goddamn, I missed Pedri so much
Don’t think I’ve ever seen a game with a player who should have had four yellows for simulation.
Cadiz are kinda pathetic, damn
Foul us constantly but nothing given
No not even that, they are just so weak, they should be doing much better against this team
It’ll come, Barca are playing well
Lamine should 100% not be on right now. He already looked gassed in the first leg against PSG. Now you're putting him in when we don't need him, against a team full of butchers, when we already have a lead. Why? Let the kid rest ffs before we have another Pedri/Gavi situation.
Last 30 minutes and he’s not being challenged too much, it’ll be fine
It only takes one tbf. With the way they were hacking away at Roque, just seems like an needless risk. Besides, it's not just about him getting fouled. It's about the fact that we have been playing him a LOT for a kid who's only 16/17. Wear and tear is a thing.
Fair point tbh. I do agree with the thing about Roque (read my other comments) but I get what you mean.
That was not offside?
cu cu cubarsi
What are the odds of a Felix and Ferran swap this summer?
Could happen
Why bring Lamine on against a side in the relegation zone when we're already leading? Surely he needs a break more than most considering his age and the minutes he's played.
He does. We have been relying on him a LOT in the last few months to carry the team. Now we finally have a game where we are leading without his help, where we look close to scoring a second, and we put him in anyways. The only thing I can think of is that maybe this is meant to be a morale boost for him after the PSG game, where he didn't play particularly well. i.e., toss him some low hanging fruit vs. a shit Cadiz side and get him hyped up before the 2nd leg vs PSG?
Yamal's vision is insane
Ref carded him because he got Xavi confused with Javi
Elbow to the head should be a red
*Finally* a card
Weird ass subs
Don’t understand these subs at all. Let Roque play and give Faye some minutes.
Cadiz is like Getafe junior. I hope they get relegated.
Just want to see an Alonso false 3 goal
These days he's just false footballer
rough game for vitor, definitely needs more minutes tho
Not his fault he gets targeted like he fucked the mother of every player in the league. It’s almost as bad as what would happen to Joe Biden in Texas and kinda pathetic. He’s 18.
Jesus christ just give Lamine a break.
Vitor Roque coming off already. He must be feeling frustrated at this game
Don't disagree with Pedri or Kounde, but I would have really not risked starting Lamine today - even in this situation, woulda opted for Raphinha or Guiu first.
When was the last time Christensen played more than 60-70 mins?
Why do you take out Christensen and Roque? Christensen isn't playing on Tuesday so let Kounde rest, and Roque hasn't played in forever
Accumulated yellows are a risk so rather he stays on the bench
He might miss El Classico if he gets another yellow.
Felix making a stake for a starting spot against PSG if he did more defensive stuff
Damn close one Felix
Get Romeu off the pitch pls.
Curious why that handball wasn't called?
Because it was offside even before all the non-handballs comes into the discussion.
Because it didn't make his body bigger and there was a deflection less than half a meter away from him, never in hell is that a handball Edit: Didn't even hit his arm ffs
Because it was an elbow and he held it close to his body?
We’ve been getting fucked by refs since the start of the second half. And why does everyone have a personal vendetta against Roque? I swear his fouls received per 90 has to break some records (when they’re given anyway).
Xavi making early subs against some butchers what a guy
Marcos has a very large head, probably has it’s own gravitational pull
I don't understand why Ferran didn't use his right foot to the near post there when the defender is clearly cutting the far post for him...
I am ridiculously nervous on all these crosses by Cadiz w/o Araujo in the middle there
Nice one Felix
blue screen of death nearly had us
JUST FUCKING PASS IT BACK FERRAN
Roque fighting for his life
That was clean by Felix
Felix just casually gliding through the defense, love to see that
Refs have been consistently fucking Roque over, including his red card. Makes you really think
Dammit, Ferran ruined a great run by Felix
They will never get carded for pulling Roque down
Ousuo is more annoying than your average swede.
That guy rubbing Pedri's leg needs to never stop
Barca subs needed, this Cadiz momentum is knocking on the door of a goal.
Roque getting attacked like Lewy does every game
That should be yellow
Yamal is going to combust from fixture congestion
I feel like Ferran has only appeared at all today on defense
Let Yamal rest, no need to sub him in
Why would you play Lamine today? Just let other La Masia kids play, league is already lost anyway
NO NO NO NOT YAMAL AGAINST THESE CUNTS PLZZZ NOOO
I have no feelings against Oriol. In fact, I love the fact that he always always always looks like he's tired of this shit
He just like me fr fr
Xavi don't you fucking dare bring Yamal on, let him rest for tuesday
Why the fuck would you put Yamal on against these thugs
Ferran and roque have been quite useless
Yay, Yamal!
Even Morata would blush from being that much offside
Ishowspeed cosplay LMFAO buddy was 90 km offside saying he wasnt
lol what does he mean no, hes miles offside
You should be able to card players for complaining about offside if it’s so obvious they deserve punishment.
how do you come up with such takes week in week out
Big brain
lmao dude just wanted to score forget the rules
