Y u speak in my name? :coffee: He's actually limited by that shit on a stick "let's play with 10 grafters" Mourinhoball setup. Alongside Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc, Neymar instead of Matic, Luiz, Willian, Ramires, Torres he'd blossom a lot more.

He has lost his pace. Here is the proof. Slower than Mascherano. He also has Coca Cola on his jersey. Still sending secret messages to Pep.

We still have to play Villarreal away, Espanyol away (game raisers against us, especially at home), Real Madrid away. Then also Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao which could be tricky, even if at Camp Nou. Real Madrid only have to worry about the Clasico and possibly Real Sociedad away. The...

That Almeria passing sequence in Camp Nou was indeed whistle-worthy.

Pautasso (assistant): "Whistles from the crowd in the second half? It was just at one specific point, they supported us well otherwise." Knew I heard whistles. Now just need to figure out if it was indeed during Cesc's substitution. :lol:

Makes me happy someone "official" acknowledges this.

I could have sworn I heard whistles. The contrast to the cheer Iniesta received afterwards was stark I thought.

Camp Nou booed him again or did I imagine it?

Those quick long balls. Can't believe Nerman didn't convert any of those. :worthy:

You don't always make sense but when you do I quote you like this. :worthy:

Struggling to score via tippy tappy football? No problemo, captain comes to the rescue. :puyol:

That was some oldschool Xavi shit.

When he was at Dortmund he was on par if not better than Özil. Dortmund's best player at the time. Dominated Bayern in the Cup final. Having said that - he deserves this. Quit Dortmund because he wanted to experience the EPL and the Manchester United brand because both are so hyped up in his...

His rivalry with Pepe and Ramos is one of the best things in football right now. Diving, bitching, feigning, elbowing, snorting. That's how a fierce derby should be played (unless Barca is involved, we are too elegant for that :coffee:).

MAtS is averaging 38 passes per game. It's a crazy number. Pedro and Alexis are averaging 27 and 28 passes per game. He is like another playmaker for Gladbach. No other goalkeeper in the world plays it out of the back as much as he does. Valdes is averaging 16 passes per game and he is supposed...

Read a while ago that he did some shady investments in his private life, messed up and needs money now and that's why he leaves. No idea if true or not but it's doubtful that his dream is really to experience the culture of playing infront of 3000 Monaco fans.

Surely you must notice by now how that makes 0 sense. Alexis' strengths are movement off the ball and - if his entire career up until this season is anything to go by - definitely not finishing. Yet he's on 15 goals in 18 starts playing on the right. By that token, if we moved him to the left...

Pedro's form has nothing to do with playing left or right. Please elaborate what changes so drastically in Pedro's game whether he plays left or right that he can be "found out" on one side yet have his best goalscoring form ever on the other. The way he plays off the ball it is irrelevant where...

It's not about "playing deep" or "playing high". Positionally Xavi plays as high up the pitch as Iniesta if not higher up at times. Prime Xavi was more trequartista than regista. Del Bosque won 2 tournaments using Xavi as the most advanced central midfielder. Here is the average positioning in...

Fact 1: Pedro hasn't been good left, right or center in Pep's last season until this season. Fact 2: Pedro has barely played on the right this season. Conclusion: "Pedro hasn't been good at RW since 2011" is a fallacy.
