Messi not playing, I no watch…:*
Actually, Messi called Pep a couple of hours ago, and said he wants to play
I hope we play like this
Oier
Montoya-Bartra-Gomez-Muniesa
JDS
Roberto-Rafinha
Gerard-Soriano-Tello
Line-up: Masip, Montoya, Bartra, Muniesa, Lobato, Sergi Roberto, Dos Santos, Rafinha, Deulofeu, Jonathan Soriano, and Tello
Bench: Oier, Armando, Sergi Gomez, Espinosa, Riverola, Carmona, Rodri
wanted espinosa n gomez to star Eusebio hardly plays them…
Well, they were both promoted only this year and hopefully Eusebio is just being careful with them, since they'll most likely be in the B team for another couple of years. Hopefully they'll see more playing time from here to the end of the season and especially next year.
Where do you get the line-up from? I thought FCBMasia's is Barca's official twitter account for Barca B, but it didn't post the bench. Thanks for the info!
Rather random, but I find them here: http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/football/segunda-di…. Posts the line-ups usually before twitter along with the bench. A helpful reader pointed it out some months back.
Wow, that is random, but hey, whatever works. Thanks for the link!
has Espinosa played at all this season?
He has started 6 games in addition to being subbed on 8 times.
OT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLhLqDUwPok&fe…
Dave's got skillz!
Villa's shot was fake obviously, or even if it was real, I bet he took more than 100 tries to get it right. Only genius like Messi would get the hole-in-one. :*
many people can do that is it the first u r seeing this?
It was not fake. I have done that several times, so I think David can do it too. And why couldn't a person play two sports?
Good effort by Bartra on the corner. Just wide.
Fontas and his grandsons in the crowd.
I saw Fontas, but not who was with him. Seems a bit young to be a grandfather, no?
Well, if he got some girl pregnant when he was ten and his son then also…
Nevermind
The pace of Tello is mind blowing. His passing leaves much to be desired though.
Off the crossbar from Soriano! So unlucky!
Brilliant header from Montoya to deny a goal!
last ditch header by Montoya! Crucial interception!
Some great play by Roberto in the middle there!
We need to step it up a gear.
We have some amazing talents in this team
Nearly missed the game, glad to see I missed no goals just yet.
has Deulofeu lost the spark?
And minutes later he gives the assist for the gol!
GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL de BAAARRRRCCCAAAA BBBB!!!!!
SORIANO! 1-0
1-0 Soriano!
Riverola on Gerard off.
incredible save by Masip !
Huge miss by the speedster, Tello.
oh no! How did he miss that ??
another huge miss by Tello, he knows how to create chances
Off the woodwork again!
Damn Tello hit the bar. Unlucky.
Not unlucky, bad shot. There's no such thing as bad luck in football. You hit the bar 10 times, it's ten bad shots.
@ Erich are you kidding me? At times you have split seconds to make the decision to shoot , with the pressure coming, in the box. Luck plays a huge part .The second goal against Madrid by Xavi with the deflection off Marcelo is what's called luck, Amigo!
I said that there's no BAD LUCK in football. I didn't say anything about luck. When you hit the post or bar ten times within a game it's not bad luck, it's just bad shooting. And if you take Xavi's Clasico goal, it wasn't bad luck for Real, it was sloppy defending by Marcelo. Luck for Barça, yes, but no bad luck for Real.
1-1
Crap.how was he not marked 1-1
Numencia is really pushing up. We might hit them on a counter i hope.
they play really bad, you cant see the Barca-system in their game.
I hope new coach will trains them next season caus they were much better last season
U know the average age of this team is 21 and they play against grown up/experienced men!?!?
Oh that was close… what ever happened to the "when in doubt don't give offside!"
not so good this season from barca b… i donnt mean the results i meand the way they play.. liked the way last year more
A lot of new boys in the squad this year, they have to get used playing against grown men!!!
wondering why barca b scores so less goals from midfielders… like sergi roberto, espinose,riverola,carmona.. only rafinha with a few goals
Unlucky again Tello .
Barca B is so wasteful, they play wonderful football,but can't convert their chances.
Good effort by the youngsters. 1-1 final is a little unlucky could have won it .
Oscar Garcia should take over
Apparently he wasn't given the job because the board thought that his attitude is too much like Cruyff.
Sad.
Thats a shame.
Think he has a bright future.
Oscar Garcia will be coach of the first squad. I think Cruyff was taking about him in last interview.
Eusebio has gotten it all wrong from the start if he just played gerard on the left wing, the whole season could have been different Tello should play on the right bcoz of his pace. Gerard also has as muuch pace but he is a very good dribbler he should play on left
Watched the game. I really like Montoya. I guess the international call up and first team call ups have given him a lot of confidence, he plays like a veteran out there.
Muniesa was a huge disappointment for me. He was dreadful on defense today. A few nice runs going forward but very lazy defending, ridiculous lunges when it's 3 on 2 creating 3 on 1 situations. Constantly getting run by on Numancia's right wing. Being too lax on 50-50 balls and conceding possession when he easily could have won it had he been more alert. Definitely not Puyol. Bartra was fairly solid.
It's just one game, they might be better than they've shown. The talent is there, but not every player will end up being a first teamer. It'll be exciting to see which players out of this group will end up making it.
