Sunday @10pm, great time to go to the stadium...:rolleyes:


Ekiza trains with Amorebieta in all the exercises, seems like he will enter in the lineup. In addition, Bielsa always works with either Gurpegi-De Marcos or Iraola-Aurtenetxe in the exercises... Believing that Iraola will make the starting 11 sooner or later this might mean that Bielsa could change 3 defenders for the game in Barcelona.

Seems like the rest of the team will stay the same, this could be the lineup:

Iraizoz

Iraola - Ekiza - Amore - Aurtenetxe

Javi MartĂ­nez

Susaeta - Iturraspe - Herrera - Muniain

Llorente​

They started playing in Cornella El Prat last year.

ManUtd fan, I'm not fond of Bielsa either, but you can't judge someone with only 2 months in the club, and 2 matches played, be more patient, the game is not played only by the manager.

At 10 pm starting hour, will the transport work when the match finishes? They arranged any hour they wanted all the matches, only with their standards, thinking not the fans nor the players.
And imagine that many teams from Ligue 1, Bundesliga and Premier League earn more that the 3rd earner of Primera. Justice. :rolleyes:

Game on! Should be a good one.

Aggressive game by both teams to start. Noticing how high up the flanks your players are so far, need to drop a little deeper to support the central defenders.

1-0 Espanyol. Sergio Garcia with the header from in close.

Almost a second there. Espanyol running rampant over your defense right now. There's no support anywhere, constantly outnumbered in defensive positions. Doesn't make sense.

Well, our passing has been terrible. And that has led to many turn-overs when most of the team is moving forward. Sort of gives a feel of what it would be like to watch Barca try to play their usual game with mediocre players, I guess.

first match i've seen in a while and i didn't like what i saw.

agreed, and every run we made seemed to die in the corner or just beyond the 18...

Loosing ball posession now, better to get Muniain in midfield
i never saw the official line up but wasn't he playing right outside mid ?

i love him but i felt like he was part of the problem ... not his best game imho. =(

We have to drop the three defender tactic immediately, it's been good for the attack but the way they outnumbered us when they attacked was heartattack after another. De Marcos reminds of Goofy but had a nice pass or two, Iker and Gorka have been the best as for what I've seen, missed the goal though. Xabi Etxebarria in the line-up, Iñigo Pérez and Gabilondo as well so there are substitutions that could be made. Iraola on for Pérez and Susaeta on for Gabilondo and move Iker to the left side. Put De Marcos or someone on the left back so we don't concede again.
