General La Liga thread

[Benitez]

When the prem is letting you down (which happens a lot ) nothing like La Liga to brighten up a s*** day.

 

Looks like a decent battle this season.

 

Real Madrid - Racing on now

 

(1-0 Real Madrid after 5 mins, Ramos)

 

Seville - Valencia, on later - which should be a right good un!

3-0 now to Real Madrid. They have played some good football. Reyes and Diarra with the other goals.

[Andy @ Allerton]

Who's on now?

 

Whoever it is - it's 2-0

[4411]

3-0 Sevilla!

Rub it in why don'tcha?

[Ste M]

Alves was class last night it has to be said, created at least one goal and some of his crossing was outstanding.

[Cam]

Alves at rightback or right midfield?

[Barnes' left foot]

Alves at rightback or right midfield?

 

He played at rightback behind Adriano, but to be honest he was up and down the right-hand side.

 

Very good player.

[Benitez]

Alves at rightback or right midfield?

 

 

both, at the same time

 

David Silva got sent off early on for Valencia, and Quique Sanchez didn't feel the need to do anything about it, so Alves and Adriano just had a clear run for the rest of the game.

 

Another double-header on Sky tonight.

 

Mallorca V Barcelona

 

Deportivo v Celta

 

And may I be the first (and probably last to say)

 

Vamos Mallorca

 

 

 

Another thing bout Alves fromt that game. Just a couple minutes in he straight-arms David Silva across the face Absolutely walloped him big style!

 

So then, couple minutes later Silva tries to get retaliation with a crude challenge, and gets booked. Then shortly after, swipes him with his elbow (didn't look half as bad as the straight-arm!), and gets a straight red card. Silva looks a good young player, but he is hot headed, and dives like an old pro.

f*** me Alves is good, we're f***ing stubborn b******s, he's 10 times the player pennant is.

[Benitez]

kin ell! Calm down there, you'll do yourself some damange

 

Fec that, I just seen the WORST DIVE EVER.

 

Lupo, Depor centre half, 6'4" built like a brick chithouse, it'd take a tank to floor him. Goes up for a corner, and with no one touching him he leaps like a fecin salmon, bout 6 foot in the air, arms flailing.

 

Ref sends him off

got to say Riki is a fantastic player. Better than any attacking playet at LFC, may be even with Kuyt

Probably because we don't have any playets.

Wow, that's the kind of player we need. If only he could play both left and right wing at the same time I'd say "bust the bank".

Made up when that happened. Refs should book players more often when they cheat - 'simulation' is the one thing that lets La Liga down, and it really gets on my wick. I hate that its creeping more and more into the game over here too.

would alves definitely transition to the english game though? gonzalez set la liga on fire last season too.

Was at the Sevilla game - and got rat arsed despues

I'd still have my doubts 'bout him at full back, being as he's 3 ft tall and spends most of his time trying to attack anyway

 

But the quality of the guys crossing, stick him at right mid, and even without too many tricks he'd get quality balls into the area each game. A lot of his crosses came from pretty deep rather than him getting to the goal line.

 

This game on Saturday tho, he was helped by the fact that Valencia had no left wing/midfield for most of the game, so he had a clear run to get forward all the time. So he did!

 

But, as he was priced at £14 mill last summer or whatever it was, and will probably be priced higher next summer, we can dream on. I guess he'll end up with one of the big clubs in Spain at some point soon.

[Swagger]

I don't think he's a bad right back, but I agree that his crossing is first class.

 

Shame Rafa did not have the funds for him in the summer. With Sevilla doing really well, I doubt he'll be going anywhere soon, and if he will, he'll probably be outside our budget.

 

There are always players you regret not signing, but this lad is special, and would have been ideal for us. Very clear to see why Rafa was so eager to sign him.

He can go to whichever club he wants - part of his deal with Del Nido.

 

Baptista told him lots of negative things about Madrid and will probably put him off the PL as well. His agent was being tapped up by Benítez and someone from Milan.

[Benzo-13]

If he goes to Serie A he's plain daft. That league is nowhere near what it was. If a sh**house team like Roma can win 7-0 and the likes of Bari, Genoa, Napoli and Juve are in Serie B.
