Eibar v Barca

[WATP_74]

Barca's front three is scary and their playing some great stuff.
Hadn't seen a Spanish game in a while and it's noticeable the lack of thug-like tackles compared to the SPL.
Also interesting how Eibar are still trying to play despite getting pumped.
Some may argue it's not a practical approach, but it certainly makes for a better spectacle.
I suppose Mcann tried this purist approach at Dundee, and he didn't last long.
At the end of the day, results dictate everything.

I believe it’s seen as shameful in Spain not to make a game of it.

If so then I expect managers would get hounded fir parking the bus.

I think it might be because it’s only in Scotland where roughhousing, thuggery and yellow cards are viewed as a tactic.

And worse, permitted by referees.
Only when this culture changes, will we progress in the game.

Wits Eibar done?

I think one of their players crossed themselves after scoring in 1976.
