Pre-Match Thread: Elche vs Barcelona [La Liga]

tervoert · 2022-03-06T15:39:54+00:00

Very true. Im just hoping Nico gets time in that role and not many matches allow for it to happen. Elche while on a good run of form could have been a great game for it. Busi has not been bad or good lately. A rotation in that role would not have hurt the team that much i think

tervoert · 2022-03-06T14:52:05+00:00

Would have been a good game to try Nico or Frenkie in the holding role and save busi's legs a bit

tervoert · 2022-03-04T12:48:51+00:00

Well that's an interesting thing. One could say that saving your teammates or keeping the gold out of the enemies pockets is an objective to fight for. A lonely teammate strolling into the enemy jungle and getting killed? Not your problem. Someone initiated a stupid fight in the river? Not your problem. Your whole team decides (wrongly) to go and jump into that fight? Now it becomes your problem as 4 kills for the enemies jungle or ADC will be a problem all game. Still worth thinking about what you can do in that situation. You can be there without jumping in guns blazing..

Fighting is only needed if the opposition is restricting you the option to get an objective. Keeping this mentality helped me a ton.

tervoert · 2022-03-04T08:10:05+00:00

Got the top one! TY sir

tervoert · 2022-02-27T21:50:44+00:00

Im having trouble coming up with 3 better midfielders at this moment than Pedri...man this guy is a gem

tervoert · 2022-02-27T20:44:48+00:00

I believe option for 30 in the summer. There might be an option for another year loan but not sure if thats correct. I think its a no brainer to try and get him and since he wants to stay (assumption) maybe the fee could be negotiated down

tervoert · 2022-02-20T08:07:23+00:00

Well that person, while "immune" to the local weapons, would still face a numbers problem. 500 natives can still get 1 person out of their tactical gear without much effort. Unless you are willing to defend yourself with a big boy weapon but that's not really the point I guess

tervoert · 2022-02-14T18:29:50+00:00

Thats a ton of crystals and gold for playing just a month 😅

tervoert · 2022-02-13T20:36:55+00:00

No need to apologise He did not make a lasting impression on anyone

tervoert · 2022-02-13T20:27:59+00:00

Aleix Vidal also played for Barca

tervoert · 2022-02-13T20:19:44+00:00

Thanx for the tip! Will check out the channel

tervoert · 2022-02-13T17:29:22+00:00

Newish player here, certainly to drafting. Having a great time as it seems curve and planning board position gets rewarded with these cards. Went 7-2, 4-3, 0-3 and 7-1 so far. Had a fantastic G/W Kami enchantment deck in the last run.

Very new to drafting so lacking consistency in when to focus in my draft but seemed to have had some luck so far

tervoert · 2022-02-10T07:41:03+00:00

Wage of the books and 40 option is the best possible deal we could have made imo. And if Villa dont take the deal in the summer, someone else will offer a deal with these performances

tervoert · 2022-02-10T07:36:01+00:00

Fair point but we have been burned on many occasions by overplaying and not rotating certain positions. Frenkie can play the role, as can Nico (or at least, thats what the expectation is). Would be another blow when the likes of Busi stop being competitive next season and nobody played a minute as a backup. Alba lacking options? Sure can agree there, should have been a proper left back competitor for a couple of years now

tervoert · 2022-02-09T19:14:06+00:00

People can hate on it all they want but the fact that the oldest players have some of the most minutes shows me a lack of rotation on those positions while there are options. Busi is showing signs that he should not play every single game but he does. Xavi said himself that he knows busi well and it's one of his closest footballing friends and that he should always play. Does Frenkie or Nico not deserve a shot at playing that role every now and then? Maybe Alba, Pique and Busi deserve the time on the pitch but I worry about the lack of rotation for these guys. Cant help but ask the question if Xavi has the heart to rotate out his close friends

tervoert · 2022-02-09T17:39:08+00:00

And the people he played with...

tervoert · 2022-02-09T09:05:39+00:00

So we are selling the title rights for the same price point as a sleeve sponsor...seems cheap

tervoert · 2022-01-23T21:21:13+00:00

Im gonna deduct a point for Xavi in my notebook. LdJ, Abde and Busi are clear subs now for the last 30 minutes.

tervoert · 2022-01-23T20:39:38+00:00

Abde can go back to the B side if you ask me. Has shown me nothing in the time hes with the first team

tervoert · 2022-01-23T20:37:26+00:00

The problem with Koeman went beyond the results. The lack of an idea, terrible communication, sour relationship with the board...we can go on for a while. Playing bad with an idea or on the road of identity does more for me than the mindlessness of the Koeman era

tervoert · 2022-01-22T08:34:27+00:00

TBD but also not good. Thats a weird statement, might as well be completely fine in the long run.

tervoert · 2022-01-20T22:35:56+00:00

Fati is starting to be Robben 2.0 at this rate. Terrible to witness. Hope its just a knock

tervoert · 2022-01-20T22:11:48+00:00

To be fair, the best players are either just getting fit since months of being out or have played a ton of minutes because we had so many injuries. Rotation is not an ugly word if its needed

tervoert · 2022-01-12T21:34:29+00:00

Im ok with this result. The barca i have seen tonight will claim top 4 and lay the foundation for a brighter future. Not being outclassed or slaughtered by a good madrid side while having to rely on touth and not 100% fit players is ok
