I think someone still mad for the Copa Americas and its not only you :lol:

Just place him in a position he can do some proper damage. Everyone can acknowledge his quality but it was too obvious how comfortable he was in a much more attacking context. LW seems quite suitable for him & that role in Barca implies he has to move throughout the line anyways so...why not

He seems pretty reliable in the back, will have to check his performances in big games to make a better assertion.

What an absolute gem of a signing, cant believe how well he coped with the role and playmaking with Leo.

Grateful to see the best 9 of the last 10 years still bossing it @ 34

Defense GD proves our point it in 3 different scenario contexts: - WC 2014 - Copa America 2015 - Copa Centenario 2016

Pay no attention to midfield, bar Masche, they suck. Look at their defensive stats please and tell me they are not star numbers. There's no Maldini, Puyol among them, but they are solid as a rock. Its already been established their attacking players are probably among the best in the world...

Speaking only on Barca: I think Mats has played better the second part of 2nd season as it been established during this & Mats thread. Claudio clearly dropped his form during 2016, he played some good matches too, but generally Mats was better in 2016 (which is still undergoing btw, as well as...

LMFAO, Argentina > Portugal by a landslide. Bar Cristiano & Pepe, Argentina has tons of star players. They have been proven to function as a team (reached 3 consecutive finals), their choking mentality in finals & bad coaching decisions have been their only issue. Everything else used as an...

Let me ask you this: If he would play like shit all first season long instead of Zamora + clean sheet record, would you use it as an argument? Not, right? So, again. Did he played good because he got to play more often, or maybe is because he is a good keeper...mmm he doesnt play often for...

Dont try to spin it, you said consistently failing. So you basically placed him on "the likes of Vermaelen, Arda, Adriano, Douglas, etc..." I know you are trying to make a point, but you cant disable every aspect that doesn't suit your narrative. I think we can all agree why

- Wins Zamora first year. - Clean-sheet record. - Clutch saves in LL first season and first part of 2nd season. - Clutch saves in WCC. - Top notch stats in knock-out rounds for both NT Cups. Consistently failing :lol:

:lol: I agree he had a bad second part of the season with us, not abysmal like some could point out, but definitely out of his usual performance/stats with us. His girl condition, plus a bad group stage performance in Copa only added more fuel. But by far the worst argument I've read, which...

- Suarez had a better year in La Liga stats, not NT or CL stats wise in comparison with Cristiano. - Messi didnt reach UCL finals and lost another final with NT, CR7 won Euro and CL in comparison. It is very easy mathematics guys, if you want to approach the Bdor in any other subjective way...

How can you give an award on such a subjective basis. You just validated why Xavi & Iniesta never won one by that logic, or anyone in Barca who isn't Leo. I love Dinho to death but he choked in that WC the same way R9 choked in France 98 final.
