Guest Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Might be soon but I think Luis Advincula will start this weekend. Unless he's that unfamiliar with the system that he can't, Toni got eaten alive this past matchday and I think it sets a good ground for Advincula to have that clear right back position for him.

Administrator Stan Posted August 21, 2018 Administrator Share Posted August 21, 2018 why are Huesca playing 2 away games to start the season? They beat Eibar away at the weekend which was a great result in itself anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been talk of doing it like in the Premier League as a pure draw so I'm not sure what's happening to be honest. Valencia were the joker last season if I remember rightly. @Kowabunga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we see the unchained version of Advíncula at Rayo Vallecano. We shall begin to call him Sinevincula then. Great player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Two games on today... GETAFE CF v SD EIBAR (19:15 bst) CD LEGANÉS v REAL SOCIEDAD (21:15 bst) My interest lies in how La Real starts this season under Eusebio. There are some sensitive injuries they have to cope with at the start of this season but they really do have to show something this campaign considering their size and support in Spain. It's now been too long with promoted clubs even doing better than them in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their manager is now Asier Garitano mate It will be a tough season for them this year for me having just lost Xabi Prieto, who has retired(what a player he was) and also losing the likes of Odriozola.

Rayo had two very good chances later in the game (Oblak did a huge save). Atlético was affected from not playing Koke from the start. Correa did interesting things though, Rodri and Saúl had so-so games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Valladolid have marvellous transition on the counter-attack, multiple times they've cut Barcelona up and had the ball in a dangerous spot. They just lack the quality to make it count. The difference a player like Jamie Vardy would make. It could be a 2-0 if they had a forward like him.

They broke at lightning speed and then the player chose to switch the player but over-cooked it and it went out for a throw Barca have come close a couple of times but just needed some composure from Dembele.

Administrator Stan Posted August 25, 2018 Administrator Share Posted August 25, 2018 Goal Barca! Dembele tucks in to make it 1-0 after Sergi Roberto does brilliantly well to keep the ball in play with a header from Suarez' cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted August 25, 2018 Administrator Share Posted August 25, 2018 commentators were just saying the pitch was only laid this week despite the last game of last season being at the start of June. So they've had 2 months to get it sorted but only acted this week to get the pitch laid in. There was no-way it was gonna survive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted August 25, 2018 Administrator Share Posted August 25, 2018 My word what a finish to the game. Valladolid score in the 93rd minute to equalise but its ultimately ruled out (correctly) due to the scorer being offside. Right decision but cruel one for the home side as they deserved a point for all the spirit and desire they showed. As well as some nice periods of play too. But not quite enough quality to make a real difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
