Granada

We all knew Barca didn't have defense, now we all know they don't have attack either. They wouldn't have scored even if they had played till next Friday. Barca management should send a fruit basket and a case of red wine to the referee accompanied with a "thank you note". The really bad news for them is the direct elimination stage in CL is around the corner. Imagine they meet the BinDippers in their current form...it's gonna be such a massacre UEFA will have to rule the game illegal!

I dont know, but I wasnt too impressed with Barca. 1-0 at home against Granada after playing vs 10 men. Who knows if they would have dropped points if they played against 11 men entire game. Still a win is a win and might be crucial in the long run.

Forca barca, where would we be without Messi?

Vidal or Busquests is a man of the match for me!we are playing very good but we need to take more shot from distance too.So far i really love how we played today.

I hope this is beginning. of something beautiful for Barca. And I love how the chemistry between Vidal and Messi keeps getting stronger!

From the first 15 minutes it was obvious that the team has changed drastically. Puig returned to the squad. Busi returned to his creative role. The team was full of movement. Instant effect of Quique.

A lot of positive points from this game. Even if the game ended with a draw Setien already showed clear improvements. The fact that Granada had so little chances means Barca were defending and pressing on the opposite side of the field and that is the only way Barca can prevent conceding. There's a lot of work for the coach and I think his biggest task would be to get the entire team back fit. The lack of physical preparation was so evident that no matter which team Barca played they would be under pressure and had to panic defend many chances from the other teams. I saw so many effective tiki-taka plays when creating chances. Can't wait for the sespended and injured players to come back. Really interesting first game from Serien's Barca.

Haven't seen Busquets play like this for ages ... FINALY TIKA - TAKA IS BACK !!!!

You could definitely see what Setien is trying to provide. It's not quite perfected yet of course but they had so much possession, quick movement and passes all the time again, so that's definitely a promising sign. Will take some time to get this working but it's a step in the right direction. Suarez' absence definitely hurts though

Very good. There's a lot to be excited about. Overrall team performance was good. 500+ passes completed in the first half, boy is that something. Possession dominance the whole game!. The football that led to Messi's goal, absolutely brilliant. This is what I wanted to see all long. And also, so glad Riqui Puig is getting his chance, instant impact that led to the goal. This still isn't perfect under Setien as they have to adapt to this kind of playstyle, our finishing was off. Also massive credit to Granada, they were great and brave today. This game's man of the match is busquets for sure. He was absolutely sensational. I expected it because Setien loves busquets and actually knows how to use him properly. Looking good so far!.

>80% of possession and >1000passes. That was insane. But Barca almost threw away the 3 points. They need to get a replacement for Suarez soon.
