La Liga thread
First topic message reminder :
Well, with the league in Spain restarting soon, thought I'd put this up. Backed Atlético to repeat this year, and watching last nights game, think I could be right. Think Real will find that we've gone and bought more coats of paint on the Bentley, having sold the engine... Again. It's like history really is bound to repeat itself.

Gerard Pique looks a shadow of the player he was 18-24 months ago.
Barcelona, pending transfer ban, could do with signing Mats Hummels.

Okay I was wrong Benzema scored and killed it as a contest off the counter.
What on earth did Enrique think would happen with Xavi in midfield?

Re: La Liga thread
Shoo, two points separating the top three, with Atletico five back, with a game in hand. Don't think Valencia are going away this season. Still backing Atleti to repeat.

Re: La Liga thread
Happy days, Madrid back on top of the log. Barca down to third, could be fifth by the end of the weekend. Messi and Neymar were linking so well, I think, Suárez was a bit of a surplus. They'll probably get it right, but it might be too late.

Re: La Liga thread
Sevilla missed a chance go top of the log in the midday fixture, losing 1-0 to Bilbao. Margins are incredibly tight at the moment. Having missed a chance to stand at apex of the league, Sevilla might find themselves fifth if Valencia hold on to win in their fixture.

Re: La Liga thread
Historic night at the Camp Nou tonight as the peerless Lionel Messi finally scored the two goals he needed to become the greatest scorer in La Liga history! Unsurprisingly Leo wasn't happy with just two goals, he bagged a hat trick. His 20th La Liga hat trick.
Enjoy him whilst you can, as you'll miss him when he's gone,

Yeah, great achievement. I'll never forget those magical four years in his absolute pomp, he's still doing the business which is good to see though. See Ronaldo got two again tonight.
Also, Moyes got a 0-0 for Sociedad in his first game.

Modric out for 3 months. More responsibility on Kroos now defensively. But hopefully Illaramendi gets a bit of a run in the team now.

Is it three months? Just as he and Kroos were beginning to find a groove. I do love Illara though, so I'm happy to see him get a go.
Still rather tight at the top, with only seven,points separating the top five. Sevilla seem to be fading though. Will be interesting to see if Valencia can make it a four horse race.

Re: La Liga thread
Madrid march on. Ronaldo now has the hat trick record outright, as we won 3-0. Barca seem to be finding their fifth gear more often, hat trick for Messi as well. Atlético also won at the weekend to move third. Only four points adrift.
Also Moyesball lost 4-0.

Incredible isn't it.
We'd be saying it's incredible if they had 150 goals each in those numbers of appearances.
Ronaldo has 29 goals this season for Real, it is still early December.

Make that 32 goals, and you can bet your bottom dollar he's gonna fill his boots in the club world cup.
Madrid head into the winter break guaranteed to be top of the table. Ronaldo scored two late goals on Friday. Barcelona could only muster a draw at Getafe, and are now four points adrift. Atlético can move level with Barcelona with a win tonight

Re: La Liga thread
Two defeats in a week. I see Bale is starting too get criticism now, been distinctly average this season for that transfer fee. I guess Carlo might start Ronaldo in the second leg to bail him out.

Again, today. Failed to pass to Ronaldo & he reacted, which led the fans to boo Bale. Embarrassing stuff really, pathetic. Doesn't surprise me with Madrid fans though, they've booed legends like Casillas etc. Bale, subsequently scored a wonder free-kick, even though Ronaldo scores about 1 in 50 of his attempted free-kicks.

Re: La Liga thread
He'd scored the wonder goal (and played a sublime pass as part of the first goal) before the fans booed him, which makes it even more stupid. As for the incident himself, I think he was probably right to shoot but should have put it away.

Bale has been rank this season when he's been fit. If he didn't cost a hundred million euros, Isco have replaced him and we'd be playing a more traditional 4-4-2 which I think is when we play better.

Re: La Liga thread
Bale has been a letdown this year, after a good first season. His finishing really is so poor, abysmal at times & if your going to shoot & miss, instead of pass to Ronaldo, the fans favourite, then boos are inevitably coming your way. Can see maybe this year & next for Bale at Madrid, then back to the PL with United or City.

Re: La Liga thread
Barcelona beat reigning champions Atletico 3-1 at the Camp Nou. Goals for Neymar Jr, Suarez and Messi. Mandzukic scored a PK conceded by Messi.
A much better performance with Xavi, who's been a passenger for a long time now. Koke would be the right man to replace him...when our ban ends.

Re: La Liga thread
It was a rather wild match, especially in the second half. Atlético created basically nothing but way of chances and still nearly came with a point, had Mandzukic crossed to Torres about five metres earlier. Fair result though, Atlético really didn't bring a thing offensively. Barcelona needed this win badly, it must be said. Defeat here would have left them four points adrift Madrid with Madrid having a game in hand and them having two trips to the Capital. Would have written at least the first two lines of their title challenge eulogy had they lost

Ronaldo is such a selfish player plus his petulant tantrums when he misses and constantly looking like he's away to cry. C'mon Athletico! Torres scoring in the first minute, you couldn't make it up.

Real Madrid thought they could win 6 trophies in a season...you ain't as good as Pep's Barcelona.
Real's rubbish defense is showing why they'll be lucky to win La Liga or CL. Someone boring like Mourinho would have a field against this Real Madrid side.

Re: La Liga thread
You're quite right, we're probably better. Peps Guaediola were good, but found out, badly... Football moves linearly mate. Also, funny to read about needing luck to win the Champion league when you only got to the final because of an an incredibly laissez faire attitude to reffing in the semi final against Chelsea. Yeah, Mourinho's defence conceding nearly half a dozen against a Loaded Hotspurs really strikes fear onto my heart...
Anyway, I'm getting the feeling that we're never gonna beat Atlético convicingly. Every team has its anti thesis, just hope we don't draw them in the CL and move forward.

You're talking to me about luck KF? How about the CL final last year? Atletico where set to deservedly win the CL until Ramos got an equalizer in the last minute of the normal time. Then Real beat up a fatigued Atletico in extra time.kingraf wrote:You're quite right, we're probably better. Peps Guaediola were good, but found out, badly... Football moves linearly mate.

Oh come on, scoring a legitimate late goal is a little different to seeing two or three legitimate penalties disallowed against you , and then scoring a late goal.

Re: La Liga thread
The peerless Lionel Messi bagged his 30th Barcelona hat trick as they eased to a 4-0 victory at Deportivo.
Earlier Cristiano bagged a couple and Bale also got on the scoresheet as Real made heavy weather against Getafe before completing a 3-0 victory.
Atletico also kept up their, fading, hopes of retaining their title with a lacklustre 2-0 over Granada.
Real Madrid remain 1 point ahead of Barcelona, whom are 3 ahead of Atletico. Real still have a game in hand.

Re: La Liga thread
Just saw highlights of that Deportivo game, it was Messi chance, Messi goal, Messi goal, Messi chance, Messi goal, Messi chance & then an own goal, to complete the four zero victory.
Interesting hearing the pundits saying how difficult it will be for Suarez at Barcelona & that he really doesn't suit the tiki-taka football style of the club. His first touch really is so poor in comparison to His teammates, so playing the one two's in small spaces is troubling him & he looks nervous playing alongside these players according to Albert Ferrer. I know it early but he's not the suoerstar now, he's the supporting cast, wonder if he'll accept that beyond this summer?

Re: La Liga thread
Suarez is in the same dilemma as Falcao. Suarez makes loads of excellent runs, but he never gets the ball. He's still not properly integrated in the team. Only club who could sign him is Manchester United, but with what happened with Evra it would be unlikely.LiamB wrote:Just saw highlights of that Deportivo game, it was Messi chance, Messi goal, Messi goal, Messi chance, Messi goal, Messi chance & then an own goal, to complete the four zero victory.

Can't see Barcelona selling Suarez any time soon with the transfer embargo in place. By the time he might be sold think there will be a lot of clubs financially capable of signing him.
