Like the fact that he attempted the easiest passes imaginable and still failed 6 times or so. Or the fact that he lost all of his duels, or the fact that he did not do anything of note, or the fact...

Iniesta was absolute shite (he was a bit better than that if we are being honest) but Keita was good. OK. This and fucking this.

Xavi Messi Alves/Pique Flop of the match: Pep

How can one argue with that shit???

Btw, Marca's statistics are rather different than those you are posting here and look even worse for Keita. He was not fouled once, and recovered just 5 balls. Committed 2 out of a total of 8 Barca fouls, and was the only player to be booked.

Good fans love a Segunda B player like Keita, and bad fans like world class players. I am definitely a bad fan by that token. If you people are happy with Keita, then feel free to do so. I for my part consider him perfectly inadequate. It's not like either you or me can change much at Barca.

7 recovered balls!!! WOW!!! Lots of backpasses to boot!!! He lost almost all of his duels, and did not thing going forward. Did not provide any outlet for Xavi whatsoever, and you are telling me that he played well. Alright.

What box-to-box? Are you being serious about this? When did Keita carry the ball from box-to-box? When did he even make a limited forward run with the ball at his feet? When did he put on a good tackle tonight? He only gave some sideways passes, lost the ball without much pressure, attempted...

So what? He played part in one successful semi, that only became successful when Madrid were left with 10 men. He was also part in all the times we lost in the CL. But that is not how you judge an individual player. You judge an individual player by his overall individual contribution. It...

Yeah, but you have to see how many times he lost the ball, and how many times did he attempt anything remotely risky. Passing the ball backwards to Puyol or Biscuits is something that you and I can do as well.

Cesc has helped us enormously this season, and can assist, score and mark players. He also links with Messi etc. Plus, I said many times, that I mostly want to see Cesc being rotated with mostly Xavi, and secondly Iniesta. Keita can't run, can't press, can't pass, but for some reason, most of...

Is it through sensitivity and emotional attachment that we are supposed to opine on football?

It is bad that Keita is anywhere near the Camp Nou and our team. That he started against AC Milan, is a crime against the club and a monumental stupidity. Was it Keita that was restricting Boateng? Tell me when he won the ball off him, because I can't remember something like that happening...

Just because we did not concede today (something that could easily have happened if Ibra, Robinho and Urby were clinical) proves absolutely nothing about Keita. I know what the scoreline was, what I want the Keita supporters in here to tell me, is what he did today? What did he do individually...

What Puyol did he protect? Remind me please of one solid defensive intervention of Keita's today? There was none. Nothing going forwards, nothing defensively. Keita did not do anything other than surrendering the ball today, how can anyone say otherwise is baffling.

Or wants to concentrate on his football.

When Carles will be lifting yet another European Cup come May, Alexis will be mystified about why exactly those 3 points caused such happiness.

He literally drove APOEL's defense crazy tonight. They have never conceded 3 goals in Europe during the past 4 years, and they have already faced Atletico, Getafe, Chelsea, Lyon, Shaktar, Zenit, Porto.

Benzema totally outshone him tonight against APOEL Nicosia. Gonzalo's CL record is Ibra-esque. Even though I kind of like Gonzalo, it must be said.

Did he actually utter such stupidity???
