So true, however, there was a fantastic piece about Benatia in soccernet.com some weeks ago. Good read, I suggest strongly. Not sure if he is player that Barca needs. http://espnfc.com/blog/_/name/espnfcunited/id/12215?cc=5739

Well, I agree that for now there isn't much reason to hope that he returns, but I've mentioned it earlier in this thread, much depends on Pep, imho. I still believe it came down to Pep why he decided to go Bayern (but maybe not to leave). And we all presume that it is a bit unlikely that Pep...

You really are taking it too personally. It was not my aim at all. Its no surprise that every post consists of a little generalization and regarding to Alexis your opinion seemed to be that he is not going to make it in barca. If you disagree and say that he is just used in a wrong way, then ok...

How people can actually join to conversation that they don't start, if not midstream? However, all I see is here is an arguement, if Alexis, as good as he has been in this season, is a player worth to be member of Barca squad. You claim that he may be a good player but does not have a skill set...

All I read is the claim that his goals and assists he has delivered this season are quite simple tap ins in easy positions, not much skill needed. Well I can argue that (if my memory serves me well) at least half of those goals and assists were not that simple tap ins from easy positions but...

Like I said, if you make a claim, back it up. And last five is no sample.

Can you just go away, please. Sorry, but this is already annoying.

Have you done it? I mean analyzed his goals individually? You just say it out that "are not coming from brilliant individual play or great individual skill" but do they? I doubt and oyu should be one to prove because you are just repeating the same all the time without giving any proof. As far...

The second sentence of your post calls others to face facts and all that follows are actually opinions. How can you only lay blame on the defence in Bayerns loss is beyond me. and to call it a fact?

Well. Tata wins tactical battle against Ancelotti, using CA and outsmarting him. But, but... it's not merit of Tata, it was Ancelotti who just cannot get his tactics right. Against Atletico (La Liga not the super copa that for me is always a pre-season game) Tata gets his tactics right- we are...

To be honest you should mark the moment when Valencia changed their coach. Pizzi is a bit different animal than Djukic was.

And if they slip under the bus from now, considering how poor they were against Madrid in Copa, what then? Get a new manager instead of Cholo? After few difficult moments the solution is to change a coach? Even more, are we even in crisis? Sorry, after great first half of the season, after...

Ridiculous long ball show? It seems that you don't tend to pay attention closely enough.

Like I said, great post. There are some things still I do not agree. E.g non scoring wingers- stats of this season tells something different and I also would not say they lack speed. But, of course, they have their limits, but I think Neymar has very important role to play to overcome this...

Great post from Sumlit. But Sell Iniesta and Cesc? I'm outta here.

It's quite obvious that Thiagos fate will be tied to Pep in the end (sounds like a page from the lord of the rings scenario). That's why won't be surprised that he will return in space of three-four years. Bayern fans and also football pundits can't actually accept that Thiago is consuming...

Messi- superb vision and unplayable in the second half. Tello- it's not just finishing. He timed his runs perfectly and finished without hesitation, keepers' faults should not hinder his promising performance, especially comparing some of his recent showings Song- I think he had a monster game...

I mainly meant uploading these videos and they are a joy to watch. Arguing in a forum? Well, this is a sort of special olympics...no pun intended.

:offtopic:Estonian comrade :) his doing a fine job...

Yes, yes. Let's double that. Pique was a monster and solid as rock. Mascherano, no mistakes, excellent preventive tackles, lost some headers but at least made it difficult for the opponent to head ball Valdes- couple of excellent saves- caught the ball and did not just pushed it away when...
