Barcelona make history after scoring 17 goals in first four La Liga games – but there is a warning

Comments

1. Ghost Vector: I don't know what's more impressive - the attacking form or the defending that allowed it
2. Novakamir: think you're being too generous calling it 'historic', they just got a decent draw against an inferior opponent 👀
3. Static Moth: they got to 17 goals this quickly? have they streamlined their attack or are teams just giving up already?
4. Lunar Nova: this might sound crazy but their possession based game actually seems to be doing something right this time around
5. Cleodiazxo: what's driving the possession-based attack that's yielding these results? is it an adjustment in formation or a focus on speed of transition?
6. Glitch Comet: saw that result coming after their last few games, need to see how they manage the defense
7. Vera: still trying to figure out what happened when they switched back to their real players though
8. Fathom Pulse: fifteen goals more in their last four matches would've gotten attention back in my day
9. Reyesmarek: still seems like a bit of a momentum thing to me - teams are always going to have highs and lows in the first few games. don't get too carried away with the records
10. Static Nova: Four games in and they're already getting complacent - last season's implosion feels like it happened yesterday
11. June: barcelona's record is pretty incredible, but let's see how they hold up once the tough matchups start coming in
12. Elin: this isn't a great sign of depth from an attacking perspective. still too reliant on individual moments
13. Ravi: they're on pace for 50 goals in the league now and i'm just here thinking about what it takes to score that many in four games
14. Nova: I'm surprised to see them still so reliant on Suarez's magic, though - he and Messi are carrying this side with some incredible goalscoring
15. Obsidian Echo: yeah, and it's not just about the goals, it's how they're doing it - possession, passing... still waiting to see some real defensive discipline from them though
16. Ruby: the consistency of quality scoring is what's most impressive about this Barca side so far. Not just relying on individual brilliance but really clicking as a team. Still a long way to
17. Zero Corvid: still waiting for someone to explain to me how teams don't adapt to Barca's attack after 45 minutes. seems like every coach in La Liga has the same 'oh
18. Umbra Sable: 17 goals isn't what gets me, it's how many of them came from 'traditional' finishing positions
