The Barca Breakdown discussed the game against Alaves at the Camp Nou which resulted in a 1-1 draw. Sergi Barjuan starts the game with a typical Koeman lineup due to a large injury roster, yet we saw youngsters Nico and Gavi start in the mid field alongside Busquets. We saw Aguero start as strikers, but unfortunately subbed off due to an elevated heart rate. The first 25 minutes were wonderfully interconnected between players creating some great opportunities. However, Barca could not squeeze out a goal in the first half.
Rolling into the second half, play seemed to slow down and many opportunities were snubbed by the Alavez defense or players slowing play by passing back. With a wonderful attempt, Depay's rocket finds the back of the net. Barca led 1-0 until a mishap in the defense allowed Alavez to equalize only minutes later. Barca's play for the rest of the game reverted to tired and lazy attempts failing to take the lead. Furthermore, With the injured roster Barca subbed on Coutinho and Balde.
The La Liga Table is not a pretty sight with Barca in the number 9 spot with 16 points well behind Real Madrid, Real Sociedad, and Sevilla at 24 points. We then spoke about the persistent problems of the players not being able to finish and just low quality performance. We hope that Barjuan with a few more games can slowly improve the performances and strategies on the pitch. With the imminent arrival of Xavi, will we see an improvement over Koeman's reign?
