This rather interesting piece, sry, if it has been posted before: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/messi-walks-better-than-most-players-run/

There might be better explanation than just call the coach beyond crazy. It is simple cause and reaction - because what happened in Rome influenced his priorities and therefore the lineup/rotation at Balaidos. Losing at the final of CdR will have double impact on players and the club...

Nice work! We are yet to play against Celta away (Loss last season), Real at home (Draw) and Depor away (Loss), where we lost 8 points in overall compared to the last season. real and Celta are definetly the last most difficult fixtures left (incl Valencia at home), so being optimistic I would...

I think that the first half was pretty decent, We pushed them back, had a control but unfortunately they scored from set piece, due to some individual mistakes. But yeah, the second half was horrendous, really don not understand what happened after levelling the score. Balls lost again, no...

Horror indeed. I defended Lucho and I still think that he deserves to be treated respectfully, but right now there are no really good options- very hard to find right manager and you just can't replace players as well. It really seems that Vidal injury was fatal blow. Messi reaction after the...

Dunno, must have watched another game. Yes, we struggled 15 minutes, nothing new here. Has been like that before and will happen again, nevermind who is the coach. Used to be happening during Pep peak years (supercopa at Bernabeu where we fell behind) and Barca sometimes is not accustomed to...

Barca always will and must be results oriented. We never gonna be Rayo, let's be honest. If the true Cruyff follower will bring mediocre results with Cryff ideas (van gaal at Manchester) the pitchforks will be out quicker you can ever imagine and rightfully so. Yes, it is wonderful to win...

It is getting out of hand. We won against Simeone at their stadium and people are yelling "get out!". Wow, thought that we were better than this. Pity.

We by-passed this "superb" pressing with relative ease after scoring the first goal. No problems of controlling the game either at that moment, possession being at 72 % and we created more chances by far, City was really crumbling and their press was actually ineffectual. Then suddenly- one...

Better now than in spring. He will recover, I am sure of it. Actually got a lot better in the second half, after some tactical changes.

He did give a ball away right after the first goal of submarines, but luckily it resulted no goal. The second goals was pure accident, no blame for frenchman. He was a bit under pressure as always when he is coming in as a sub, but did not committ many mistakes, but it is clear that he doesn't...

Travelling fans?

I really thought that offer to Celta was 3-4 millions right now and 18 guaranteed in the summer (I have read that kind of offer from barcastuff), that was basis I argued before that it is the best money Celta could get for Nolito. The final offer that was revealed yesterday (2 million...

Villeareal was lucky to save a point against asspanyol and also in previous game. Their level has dropped, hopefully they can get their mojo back soon.

Tell me why? They will get easily Barca to overpay for Nolito right now, no other club will pay them that much, not now, definetliy not in the summer. Yes, they have to wait a cash transfer for 6 months, but money is still money in the summer. So, if they do want to cash in Nolito, it is now. It...
