Team News
Barcelona
Malaga
- Luis Suarez misses out due to suspension after getting a card against Sevilla that took him up to five bookings for the season.
- Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba are both close to returning to full fitness and could both start as a result.
- Samuel Umtiti is ruled out for a week or so more, with Paco Alcacer set to get a rare start up top in Suarez's absence.
- Ignacio Camacho is a huge miss for the away side, with the Malaga midfielder suspended due to an accumulation of bookings.
- Sandro is set to lead the line against the club that he left in the summer, with Juanpi slotting in behind him.
- Weligton is out injured, meaning that Miguel Torres and Mikel Villanueva could be preferred to Bakary Kone, with Diego Llorente potentially required to deputise for Camacho in defensive midfield.
Cristiano scored a hattrick : 9.7. Neymar do nothing 9.0? Maybe whoscored thinks dribble can win matches
@Vellicahearst I don't know why whenever Barca get a bad result, automatic comments Neymar pplayed worst. To haters, chance creating is nothing. Stop focus about passing correct rate. Neymar is an attacker. It's very different from defenders. Malaga played with 10 defenders. They block almost way to pass near their goal. Attackers passing uncorrect is normal.
@Vellicahearst Cristiano scored a freekick by luck ( as always) a penalty and a tap in. In fact Neymar played much better. Btw, Ney's rating was high from almost all the websites, so maybe problem is from you. Though I think 9.3 was a bit high for naymar
@maxifoot 9.3 is just high. i saw the entire game. nothing about this game desrve a 9.3.
@Vellicahearst What I really find undervalued is the saves from keepers...
pique is a better striker than alcacer
Alcacer is a joke and must improve rapidly. I hate to be so blunt. But Pique would score regularly at centre forward for Barcelona.
This rating system is obviously influenced by sponsoring money.
You know there's a problem with the rating system when Neymar gets 9.3 for a below average performance
@excalibur Now I got what a below average performance is! LOL
alacer is bad. munir must come back. wrong choice of players by ENRIQUE. RAKATIC ANDVJORDI ALBA SHOUT HAVE STARTED.
@nceshNcero I am Valencia fan and i can say that both Alcacer and Munir are very bad. We are goin to relegation with Munir and he is really very very bad striker.
@nceshNcero everytime barcelona dropped points was because Enrique underestimated the opponent and used a terrible starting formation. Was like that in the previous year, and this year is showing up more, the guy doesn't learn
ter stegen could play upfront instead of alcacer and still do a better job, wtf.
what a bad game for barca. they couldnt do anything. enrique does learn.. he under estimates lots of teams. he is too happy with barca. seriously. he is content.
even w the help of the ref they still cant win.. la liga is fixed, ref gave 4 minutes yet they played till 98? in spain if they say 4 and there is a change they dont add, if they have an injury they might add 30 but not 4 minutes, this is the reason la liga will never b better then the EPL. spanish ref are a mafia and one team has them on their payroll.
Alcacer is poor..
@ksaviauk vvvvvvvvv bad use less for barca. they should have bought pato rather. waste of money this guy.
Neymar 9.3 hahaha now release the real ratings please
@bradley.fcb i dont understand neymars rating. really. they are trying to hard to rate him as messi. error in rating.
@nceshNcero machine don't know how to tell a lie. Only person thought to the bad way
It's unbelievable how Malaga didn't lose here. One of the worst performance I've ever seen in Laliga from Malaga. Kameni is the best goalkeeper I've ever seen against Real Madrid and Barcelona. He is a frightening nightmare for Real Madrid and Barcelona.
kameni is love
barcelona needs more help from the refs to win... 2 reds is not enough :)
@loli I am RM fan but still think 1 red and a penalty really deserved by barca but robbed by ref
Enrique is so bad... Always with The wrong midfield choices
Kameni on fire again?
Lionel Messi is out for this game.
@CirdomAkul Hope he'll get well soon.
3-0
2-0
Ball control is very important for Barcelona, more you loose the ball, more tackling/heading to get it back, more out of comfort zone for the players. In absence of Iniesta, midfield is overrun in every match (strange). Newcomers are good, but they need to realize that instead of trying to be extraordinary, keeping control of the ball and doing regular exchanges with MSN is the way to go. When they don't do it, magician drops back, but again no one takes his place at the top. If we 'always' have a playmaker midfielder then MSN can reach heights that none of us can imagine. Retaining the ball is best way to not concede goals. Roberto doesn't go forward like Alves used to go, hence Messi misses his presence, Digne's first touch is letting him down too often, ball control is not good either, and his sycup with Neymar is not well, does't have the pace of Alba. Barca need to sort out fullback and midfield issues. One fullback should regularly go forward and midfield always have the ball.
Many close games in previous years
@ksaviauk although, malaga struggles this season in away matches, 13 of their 15 points have come at home.
@ksaviauk but Malaga aren't in good shape as they was previous season (solid defense), they already conceded more than previous. So, there are plenty of opportunities for MSN to score more than that hhappen in previous years. Good Luck Barcelona, Good Luck MSN.
@SaifHasan Mentality is stronger in bigger games
@SaifHasan There is no MSN for this game. Suarez is suspended.
@CirdomAkul yes, I know. Thanks
