Deportivo 2 - 1 FC Barcelona
Problems we had against Deportivo -
1) Lack of aerial strength. A lot of our key players are weak in the air. Example Mascherano, Messi, Neymar, Arda, Alba. Both the goals were conceded from corners. Even though the first one wasn't because of an aerial duel if we had someone strong in the air the ball would have been headed out before even getting in the heart of the box. The second goal was from a direct header.
This even affects our attack. A lot of good crosses are delivered by the players but no one to head them in.
2) The team lacked creativity. Gomes needs to be much more creative. Rest of the team also lacked creativity today.
3) Players had not completely recovered from the energy consuming game against PSG. The player's who played against PSG were not reacting as fast and were not very agile and energetic today.
The team has some time to relax before their next game as Barcelona has a week before their next game when they face Valencia at Camp Nou.
