JMDP Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 More dropped points from Real and Barcelona as Atletico come from behind to get a last minute winner and three points from a 3-2 win against Eibar. Two down early, impressive fighting spirit to work their way back. Both full backs were immense, creating all kinds of havoc. A real mature performance from Diego Costa as well, showing incredible leadership and urging calm heads, even at two down. Absolute scenes at the winner. Could be a huge moment in the season, even this early. Three games, nine points. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another of my favourite stats is under Simeone in his entire reign they have averaged less than half a goal conceded in each game over all competitions, which is phenomenal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Apparently a TV deal for the UK will be announced before the fourth round of games. There’s a suggestion it will not be an on-line only option so that rules out Eleven Sport. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Educated guess is that maybe its DAZN dipping its toe into the UK market 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Isn’t DAZN an online only option?Correct. The talk is that the new provider is online only as none of the 3 uk sports networks (bt, sky & premier) have opted to pick the rights up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpar Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 DAZN, in Canada anyway, showed Spanish football through Bein Sports, Bein Sports apparently now see DAZN as a rival so ended the agreement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrific decision and classic case of an idiot megalomaniac owner thinking being successful in business means he knows anything about football. Such a shame he was doing a great job, should just have been left alone to get on with it. Was reestablishing Los Che as a real force. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Great performance and goal by Fati and two very clever goals from Suarez in 30 minutes as a sub. Looking forward to a Messi, Suarez, Fati front three. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMDP Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Real Madrid looked very vulnerable yesterday despite the win. Seem to be utterly reliant on Benzema at the moment and very shaky at the back. Didn't see the Barca game as I was out but apparently Fati was excellent. Anyone know how old he is btw? Don't think it's been mentioned anywhere. Totally un-Simeone behaviour yesterday in changing the shape to accommodate Vitolo in the starting line up. Vitolo has been excellent this season and probably Atleti's best player yesterday but the change in shape left them totally disjointed and Sociedad well worth the win. More importantly, hope oblak is ok after his injury - mistake from him yesterday but the best goalkeeper in the world is vital to any hopes of success this season. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
