I want to see the post-match comments. It annoyed me a bit that he didn't seem to care, I hope he comments on his performance.

I'm so happy I got to see these guys finally playing for the first team, shame it was a match to forget though.

I remember him being very good against Sevilla when we played them in December. Played in CM, dribbled and passed well, and got a brilliant assist for Messi's 2nd.

To be fair 9/10 games where he plays he is played out of position. He just cannot play on the wings. If the competition in CM weren't so strong, and let's be honest he was never going to get picked over Xavi or Iniesta, he'd blossom a lot more. Proof = the only times he's been praised this...

Ah shame, Alcantara is a brilliant name. Historically poignant as well.

That's worrying. Neither can I. :( EDIT: Yes I can, Bayern 1st leg.

Puta, he played a very good game. On his debut and against a fired-up Mallorca side, that's good going in my books. I can't remember though, did he have Thiago or Alcantara on his shirt?

Yep, encouraging. Anyone else think his inability to pick up spanish has had a negative effect? It would completely exclude you from socializing with the players in day-to-day life as well as in the locker rooms or celebrations.

This has been his "normal game" for quite a while now, man. Miss too many chances but score a consolation goal. And he's the fucking striker, he should be scoring anyway, no "forcing" required. We essentially played our B-team and still managed to provide a lot. And Rulz, that was the most...

Ronaldo was average for the entirety of the CL, it was his performances in the league that won him it

is shit.

Anyone else really impressed with his trickery? A few times this season he's employed great cut-backs, pirouettes inside the box and totally bamboozled defenders. Fast as fuck too. Underrated imo, in a couple of seasons he and Messi will own the right wing.

Grit, yes. But here his ,movement, passing and general stylistic footballing would be much more than it is now. And he's a quality player, so I can only imagine how good he could be alongside Pep and Xavi. And i'm with you, we can hate Arsenal together :cheers:

Wow Quell, that's awesome :) I need to go to Barca soon, if I even saw one of them face to face i'd probably explode

I agree with what someone said earlier, getting Cesc back is different to getting Piqué back cause he would've been better had he stayed. Just like Piqué benefitted from training with Rio & Vidic and the best defensive coach ever, Cesc would've grown up playing alongside Xavi, Iniesta, Messi...

So who thinks he's staying? He's said a few times he wants to, Laporta said that too but that was just at the start of the period where he started sucking. I love the guy but it could be detrimental to the team.

:messi: :iniesta: :henry: For the improvement he's shown this season and for becoming such an integral cog in our footballing machine :xavi: :pique: :alves:

Agreed. Shit like that is not consistent with good mental health.

He'll win the Balon d'Or anyway. Fifa would be carpetbombed if he didn't

Incredible, man :cheers:
