I'd bet on Valencia any day against Real Madrid

and i wouldn't blame you

i hate it when we play against Valencia Lips sealed

They're a bunch of prats conference league tier team who ALWAYS turn into absolute football gods against us and put up a tremendous fight at Mestalla...If it wasn't for the dealiest duo in the league so far Vini-Benz (and, also, that RM spirit 'hasta el final' battle cry), we would've lost that match...

anyway, tomorrow: Barcelona - Granada...when was the last time Barca played on a friday night? easy win for Koeman & the boys?

I'd bet on Valencia any day against Real Madrid but the bookies aren't giving good odds now, so I'm staying away, and instead putting Real on a long acca along with other favourites.

I'm still way too scarred from the Valencia of last season, is my problem =) It's like, we just gotta wait for them to show their true colours. And the same can be said for Real now that Atleti is struggling to score, and Barca is... not Barca.

It is going to be an interesting game to see ,
Valencia have been showing a lot of improvement compared to the previous seasons, They might pose trouble to Real Madrid, but I see Real Madrid coming back home with an important 3 points to take Laliga Leadership from Atletico.
Its true that Valencia has been playing beautifully so far in the season, and they shouldn’t give up on their style against Madrid and since the visitors side has defensive issues, I belleive that believe both teams will score in this one.

Ps don't forget to put your predictions for gameweek 6 on Superbru because it will be played midweek starting from Tuesday to Wednesday.

I read the news in local Croatian news aggregator index, and then went on to google it and found some other english article, don't remember exactly which one. Both wrote it as done deal so I assumed it was over. Wrote the post about 2 hours after reading it, there was also fifth name in contention for position but I forgot which one 😂

Actually, today I completely opposite news that Barca aren't going to sack Koeman now. One of reasons is money probably - if they would sack him, Barca would have to pay 12 millions to Koeman. I doubt that Barca now can afford it.
I'm not big fan of Koeman, but I doubt manager change would help Barca much. I doubt that with other manager we would have chances to compete with Bayern. And with limited money they can't hire top tier manager. While these potential managers mentioned by @Trofo sounds exciting, maybe except Xavi.

I confess I do not like his statements that only a truly strong team can beat Bayern, as from his lips it sounded as if Barca were a second-rate club.

it is missing a point to speak - to beat Bayern, they lost 0:3, that is not the same to lose 1:2 and with some missed chances for a draw, Bayern basically humiliated Barca at home, what would happen in Munich, they do not want to know
Barca needs one season to get together, and it is good that La Liga is not that strong, so they will probably enter top4 in the end, but seems that fourth place will be, instead of third this season, although Sevilla is not having that great start, but it is better this season

hopefully Valencia will take that fourth, but it is a long shot

If I were the president of Barcelona, I would also think about the dismissal of the head coach if the team under his leadership did not hit the target a single time during the entire match. As for the news, as far as I understood, Kuman's dismissal is not yet certain, since he made a statement that in a couple of weeks Barça will not be the same as before.

So Barca decided to sack Koeman

source?
i read that the board are still discussing this matter and that nothing's set in stone so far. Hmm, if Koeman gets the sack, it'll be because of the recent clash with Laporta, not because of the results in the league and CL

Barca fans right now:

I've try several sources to verify the news but no luck too, and I'd expect such new if true, to be the headlines of most football news websites/media..

I most definitely would like to see Koeman relieved of his duites as Barcelona head coach, he's not capable of handling the club, and often short of ideas tactically, but would Barcelona be able to afford another expensive coach given the current state of the club.

Reminder to make the picks guys, we have first game tonight.

So Barca decided to sack Koeman, not sure they should have done that after Bayern game, that is not the game Barca can count on points anymore but I guess it is not so much that they lost, more about the way how they lost.

I don't like top picks for his replacement at all, in order of most likely to get job :
Jordi Cruyff - best thing about him is his surname, never seen a team he coached, could not have been many
Sergi Barujan - B team coach
Henrik Larsson - 3rd coach for the first team at the moment
Xavi Hernandez - him I would like, but I don't think it will happen at this moment, he seems like very smart guy and I don't think he is ready to blow his chance as Barca coach

I'm glad I was able to get some points off Betis vs Granada fixture, It seemed as though it would as a draw, and that's actually what the majority from the had went with, more than half of the pool went 1 - 1, which easily could have been the case if not for the later goal from Sergio Canales.

yeah, Granada conceived both goals in the finish, first in first half extra time, and second nearing the match end
yet, my boy debuted on the Granada goal, it was not great, two conceived goals, but keeping in mind that Betis had 19 shots on goal, 9 on target, it was a good performance by Maximiano, and I hope that he will be better in following rounds

but, other match was a disappointing for me, Getafe is obviously ready for relegation this season, they need much more than current form to stay in La Liga

decent start for me in the pool and won my Sunday value bet (with a last minute goal, 90+10')

Osasuna - Valencia live right now...iirc, Valencia to win was @3.8 or something like that...they're 1-0 down, but yeah, valencia as the underdog, you don't see that very often
*edit Valencia 4-1, bookies messed up big time and i completely missed it. dammit

you guys winning any bets or what?

did not expected such a win, but this could be our season (meaning to be into top4, title chase is not an option)
started well, there are no big names in the team, but Valencia is playing solid football, there is no European competition to suck the form, and La Liga is IMO weaker than previous seasons, so it is a chance to be in CL spot fight
it is a question will that fight be for Sevilla spot, or maybe, with all circumstances for Barca spot, since Madrid duo is far better at the moment

Winning my Barca bet when the match plays hehe, but no, I also didn't catch the Valencia upset, but I think more sad that Real Madrid Celta busted the Blackjack, by one point. So close!

Anyway, no real surprises. Somehow Atletico winning in injury time is almost something you expect from them now:)

Sigh, ended up not being too tough for me actually. Was having an exact score on the first game all the way till final minute injury time damn. And then redeemed with 3 points from an exact score on Atletic Bilbao.

Would still have preferred 2 close scores though, those slam points so precious.

Time to get back to football as usual...

I don't tend to fancy the immediate week after any international break, some teams have half or almost all of their full teams playing 2-3 times, while some other teams players are have just had a long break to rest.

Villareal vs Alaves fixture have also been postponed, in addition to Barca vs Sevilla, It's just 8 games to go with for this round, and no match to really forward to for tomorrow.

So Barca got rid of the Griezmann Grin

Time to pop open the champagne.

Griezmann had not been a good fit for Barca. For Barca, his leaving is a blessing from a sporting and financial perspective. But he has moved to one of the league's fiercest rivals and if he returns to his old strength at Atletico, it will be less good for Barca. It would have been better if Griezmann would have moved to a non-La Liga club.

I still didn't check Superbru but my answer what happens if a game gets postponed on Superbru when you locked your prediction is it going to stay locked again when they play the match I another gameweek or it resets and give you another opportunity to choose because if they play a double gameweek and a team still crammed with fixtures they tend to rotate a lot of players and that going to affect the results.

I think that if you lock your pick, you will not be able to change it, even if the match is postponed, and for these, they are already assigned as postponed, so that would not be fair either
not sure why someone lock his pick, I am never doing that
it is good to see what others have predicted, but I am making picks few days before (not on a match day), and mostly do not use information regarding what others picked in my betting practice (to be honest, as far as I am checking, most people just picks favorites to win, so that does not help a lot in the betting process)

Exactly, just don't lock your pics. You gain nothing by it except option to see other people picks. For me it is much more valuable to leave it open to change in case something happens. Let's say covid enters the club and 5 first team players are out, that's gonna make you change your mind for sure.
