    Ivan Rakitić

    Raki had worse games this season, correct. But this does not mean he is great.... The chance he had was not easy the ball far out, so the shot was weak. Ok but the huge chance from Felix, - he was too far away and this would have been his goal. He jumped and did not get the ball... Luckily we...

    Lliga | Round 14: Atletico Madrid - FC Barcelona 0-1

    Besides that have already been said... I was suprised by Robertos game: solid defense and active role in offence. Firpo giving away a bit too many balls.

    Neymar Jr.

    If there are only 2 options either in or out and I am responsible I would not risk it - but hey that is why I am not Barca president. 1. I do agree the risks in his comeback to Barca, all valid reasons that you brought up: insures-prone, wild partying, no loyality, way to expensive ... 2. AT THE...

    Neymar Jr.

    Petit has hard feelings - maybe adequate due to what happened, but Neymar saving PSG twice in the last minutes this fall in liga. AND it was faty/rusty/slow Neymar, last Wednesday who was crutial in the midfield in the CL against for the late 2-2 ... so Petit's view might be in line with the...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    right, the others were Beckenbauer in the 70ties (who was also important in the build-up) and Sammer... so 3 players in 40 years ....

    Ernesto Valverde

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV9fK6PVxI4 I do not know if this 15 min youtube summary gives a fair view... or the documentary alltogether ... but to me this is clearly showing a lack of leadership mentality from the manager, when it really counts. The team is re-producting Rom in their...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    when was the last time the UEFA picked a bulldozer like player over someone who is fast, scores a lot and posts on twitter like crazy? VVD can not easily be sold media wise - he does not polarize enough. The star is a role model and hero projection screen. Never saw any kids running around with...

    Lliga | Round 14: Atletico Madrid - FC Barcelona 0-1

    If Madrid scores first, the snail will be back in its house and Simeone "the mother of consequent defense", will bring to the pitch: 8 tons of sand 2 tons of cement

    Neymar Jr.

    Correct, but the board has a tendency to go for mega-deals, that sells well in the media and helps in bargaining broadcast contracts - for this, big names are important, not clever football decisions :-( So I see it is more likely that we spend 180m for 1 old chap that might bring something to...

    Neymar Jr.

    Agree, well the reason could be: fans do not pay the salary - it is the club. :lol: As a fan I like to see the world's best players in the team, if they are injured half the time, bad luck ... but C. Perez (sorry for this example) can be fit and ready 365/365, he won't win us this CL. btw: How...

    Neymar Jr.

    what makes you think that it will that bad? because he had a bad fall season so far? well I think insuries are distributed, dont think he is a insury magnet ala dembele. When he was is playing for barca he was not i-prone. sometimes I have the feeling that players hide behind insuries when they...

    Neymar Jr.

    Neymar is by far not my most beloved player and his diving sessions were a joke - however, instead of doing nothing, in the winter transfer period, if there is a chance to get him for a reasonable price say~100mio - SURE. 1.He has proven that he wants/loves to play with messi and Loise the Jaws...

    CL | Round 5: FC Barcelona - Borussia Dortmund 3-1

    I know you did not ment it super seriouse but lets turn *wiseguys mode ON* for a moment. You are right: Barca conceded only 3 goals in 5 matches, while PSG only two and everyone else more...however drawing the conclusion "2nd best defense" is not appropriate: 1. the number of games is not high...

    CL | Round 5: FC Barcelona - Borussia Dortmund 3-1

    Good game from the GOAT, .... Dortmund was weak and harmless in offence (Reus! hello? not here) and not tight enough in the defense. Last thing helped a lot, while we have very hard time against teams that park the bus, - teams who do not have a strikt defensive focus are super to play against...

    CL | Round 5: FC Barcelona - Borussia Dortmund 3-1

    regarding feelings: there was once a german coach and he was asked what feeling he had for the upcoming match, he said - "Feeling, feeling - my wife was pregnand 4 times - I Always had a good feeling - now I have 4 girls at home! ;-) what you have is wishful thinking/dreaming; please wake up...
