WEEKEND UPDATE: BARCELONA IN SHAMEFUL DRAW AGAINST REAL SOCIEDAD

Barcelona was outplayed in Real Sociedad's home but managed to steal a draw. In the first half, Barcelona had just a handful of shots on goal but Real Sociedad took the game from Barcelona and Barcelona was virtually finding it difficult to concentrate and get the ball on the ground.

The Barcelona defense also was really unstable during the match as Pique and Mascherano could keep the defense together. Real Sociedad kept on pressing until Willian Jose got a header that should have been cleared by Pique.

But about six minutes later, Messi took a strike at goal with a pass from Neymar and Barcelona was leveled with the home team. At this point, Luis Enrique would have thought his team was back in the game but Real Sociedad took the game out of the Catalans hands again kept on pressing.

Barcelona luckily went back home with a draw. From the match statistics, it is quite obvious that a Routine Check for Enrique's defense is long overdue.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
