It’s difficult to know where to begin.
When you’ve had 14 shots at goal within the first hour of a game, compared to none from your opponents, you really ought to be more than one goal to the good.
For some of the match against Huesca, Barca’s passing carousels were imperious. Not quite the Barca of old, but there was something there. The green shoots of some of the club’s DNA if you like.
And yet, for long periods it was turgid. Boring. As we’ve come to expect. Passing for passing’s sake with no real cut and thrust or if there was, the move came to nothing.
