make no mistake. valverde doesn't deserve this flattering score line.
barca just have some extremely talented players that mask this managers obvious deficiencies
am i spoiled?
probably but barca is a top 5 club in the world and who would actually rate valverde a top 5 manager...or top 10?
probably no one but rakitic.

Ter Stegen should get man of the match. Madrid would've scored multiple goals if not for him

GG Spurs fans

That OG has me wtf'd

 

[rolaholic]

Just seen the Tripper OG...



Wtf

Def looks suspect AF

 

[Armada]

Not the easiest win but got the job done. Pep did right taking of Sane and Mahrez early in the second half. Really poor games from them today. Sterling and Bernardo changed the game when they came on

 

[d3si]

Finally three points

Spoiler

Seeing Watford got properly mauled

Huge response game for Pool. We needed this major.

 

[Belgium]

Just 4 points above Arsenal now while headed to the NLD
A 1-0 loss would've at least been fairly respectable but that Trippier own goal... How Poch keeps playing him in big games is baffling.

I suppose The Undrawables at least lives on for another game

 

[8pm at msg]

Good win to stay within the hunt even if we don't move up the table.

 

[rolaholic]

Ole's at the wheel

8 straight away W's under him too

 

[Verde Shuttles]

RM got RM'd, controlled the match, created better chances but lost composure and the match.

Up until the own goal, I would take this performance every match, created chances, defended well, just need better quality at crucial times.

 

[Belgium]

Playing Trippier significantly limits what Sissoko can do because he has to spend so much of his time covering at RB, thus also limiting our midfield and forcing Eriksen to play deeper. Trippier just has to go, some good crosses here and there aren't worth the complete liability in defense. Poch deserves criticism for continuing to play him in these matches too. We might as well play with 10 players when Trippier is playing at RB.

RM got RM'd, controlled the match, created better chances but lost composure and the match.

Pretty crazy how composed we looked in the first half and how we **** the bed in the second half.

2 things that are clear are:

Vinicius will be a beast but he can not be the focal point of our attck, yet.

And

Marc Andre Ter Stegen; holy crap what a monster at goal.

June can not come soon enough.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Ter Stegen should win player of the year if not for Messi, I got a lot of respect for his game.

 

[rolaholic]

Better keeper in Spain right now,Oblak or Ter Stegen?

 

[rolaholic]

Hadn't realized it was a club record,at this point I really can't see how Ole doesn't keep the job at the end of the season...

United feels like United again under him

The board just needs to back him in the summer and really upgrade the key areas of need and I think we'll be on the right track for the first time in years

 

[Bosa]

Shoulda just watched the man U game. . Now that im back to earth. Time to go see some putas

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Better keeper in Spain right now,Oblak or Ter Stegen?

Statistically, Oblak is the best keeper in Liga this campaign with Ter right behind him.

Also key stat Oblak has 13 clean sheets to Ter’s 10 both with 25 games.

One thing to keep in mind though Oblak has the better defense in front of him & Ter does not. It’s not even close so I think Ter has accomplished more since the defense in front of him is much more meh.

I think Atleti’s D is top of the league & Barca’s is like 5 or 6th...

 

[Bosa]

This save was crazy from ter. Next world cup for sure Germany 1st team gk.

 

[Bosa]

Mann. Vini is soo talented. All needs is get that finishing intact. World class

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Just checked & Barca is now ranked 4th defensively. They were 5th or 6th last time I looked which admittedly a while ago.

 

[yankeesking92]

I'm proud of the adjustments and improvement Ter Stegen has made. I remember his blunders earlier in his career that would just have you shale your head and bury it in you lap. He's come a long way being the keeper you can score from midfield on to making game saving saves with the resilience of a man unnerved in big games.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Mann. Vini is soo talented. All needs is get that finishing intact. World class

He & Reguillon dropped and skated pass defenders so many times today, they just need some proper coaching.
