Thiago Silva voted for Ronaldo.
Glad he's off to PSG then.

He's Brazillian, maybe he voted for the Brazilllian Ronaldo.

[melvin10]

Of course he would. A Brazilian voting for an Argentinian is basically treason.

no way but we now depend on villa scoring after messi cause i see the same shit again if messi doesnt score noone scores alexis just cant for the moment

[ShandyFFM]

today we saw that there is no player like messi in our squad who tryies to goe 1on1 with a player or do a dribbling... alves was our best attacker in the 2nd half cuenca,tello,afellay,pedro,alexis are all good players who can go 1on1 but they quite do it....

cant remember alexis or pedero dribbling 2-3 players... or going for a long shot on their own... that way withouth villa and messi we got a lack of goalscoring players.. that way madrid was first last season... if u look at the stats you see madrid had way more shots on target than barca, ok its not our game to shoot all the time but sometimes we need to take the shot form outa area

[Pepe Silvia]

That's a good point. I would add Cuenca to the list of Messi and Villa that are able to get past defenders by themselves. Pedro does need a little space to operate, but when given that space he can be very lethal. I like to see him attack and not drift out so wide, forcing him to pass back most times. Tello is not ready for the bigs and Alexis is still a work in progress like someone else already said.

[Hatem Ben Arfa]

so this will be Deulofeu's breakthrough season and he will score 20 goals+? because I really don't see where the goals are going to come from when Messi is totally marked out of the game or injured.
