You must be happy with Atlético's start to the season, especially the last couple of games. Falcao looks like he could be a quality signing and the team are playing some great football. Can't wait for the game at the Camp Nou on Saturday.
Very early days yet, the changes mean the squad does look to have a better balance than recent times - on their day an attacking quartet of Diego, Arda, Reyes and Falcao should pose problems for anyone, and there is some depth and balance in the squad for the first time in years - but the good performances have come against mediocre opposition.
I was at the Valencia game a couple of weeks ago and we defended solidly without threatening that much, so I'll reserve judgement for now. I'm expecting a sound beating on Saturday, though if Barca still have defensive issues like they did last night Falcao could cause some problems if the delivery to him holds up - I can't recall seeing a player attack the ball in the area like he does.
