Barca's defense gets exposed against La Liga bottom ranked Leganes.
If the defensive display vs girona at the weekend didn't ring the bell of Barcelona management then the performance against Liga bottom side Leganes will give them serious headache.
It was quite clear that Barca's defense was always getting found out by the pace of opposite teams forwards.
Gerard Pique's defending in both those matches were inconsistent .He had great roles to play for both the goals barca conceded at the weekend . It was his mistakes that Girona pounced on.
And against Leganes it was Pique's awful clearance that felt on the feet of Oscar Rodriguez,
which was a easy finish for the 20 year old .
Positives for Barcelona:
Barcelona was looking in control in the fast half.
They were 1-0 up on the 12th minute thanks to Philip Coutinho's super volly which was assisted by Lionel Messi.
Lionel Messi's shot from outside of the box strucked the crossbar .His fairytale with woodwork never seems to be ending.
Things to worry for Barcelona:
Pique's out of form is a major concern for Barcelona .
Thomas Vermaelen played as a left back and it hasn't worked so Valvarde should be worried about how he can give Jordi Alba rest in the whole season.
Umtiti is not available vs Tottenham Hotspur.
Conclusion:
All barca players are super professionals .So if you are a barca fan you should hope that they will solve their problems and show us the Barcelona class again.
