Messi is back on the pitch!

The only decent stream I was able to find:

Koke is not have a very good game so far. Messi doesn't look 100% fit.

Arda Turan is a having a great game.

 

[Piedro]

It's on sky sports 4.

Bit of a shit game so far.

 

[rurikbird]

Now Neymar is on.

Barca seems to have forgotten how to play tiki-taka. They are just… playing normally, like any other team, but with better players. Very strange to see.

Turan will surley win this years most magnificent beard award in La Liga

Arda Turan has been brilliant so far.
Atletico have had the better of it.
The pressing has been brilliant.

Yup. I think it's been intentional too. The move away from pure tiki-taka that is.

What's worse is that the movement off the ball has been shit tonight. There has been a lot of moping about when a player is in possession. It's all very laboured and slow and that is not like Barca.

The rot started when Tito took over. They won the title but they were nowhere near their best. It's even worse this season. Not been impressed with Tata at all.

Great save by Valdes on Turan's volley from close range. Then a minute later Messi runs at speed at 2 defenders and shoots – Courtois saves!

Barcelona have a massive collection of cunts on the pitch at the moment.
Alves,Neymar,Busquets,Alba all cunts.

Exactly. The biggest feature of tiki-taka, aside from the pressing ("5 second rule"), is movement without the ball. Seeing these players just standing around, taking extra touches before passing, wearing those strange yellow uniforms – I can't recognize Barca!

To be fair, when Messi and Neymar run at the defense together, it does look quite scary. Amazing pace and technique.

Diego Costa is worth them all.

Diego Costa is worth them all.

At least he's a tough cunt.
Those barca divvies roll around like little prissy cunts.
Mascherano is a massive twat too.

0:0

Barca finished strongly, nice period of pressure at the end. I like the look of Sergio, looks an excellent prospect.

I've never really minded Busquets (who is terrible for going down easy) or any of the others but Alba I can't stand. He's one of the worst around for remonstrating every other challenge. I hate his face!

Turan was guilty of a couple snide challenges tonight. That one against Alves early on in the game in particular.
