Tbf the first statement is true. But what does the second mean?

I thought he played well. Nothing extraordinary, but did his job well.

Messi created two glorious chances. Which is more than Fabregas. Messi was surrounded by 3 Atleti players every time he had the ball. That opened up space for Iniesta and Neymar to operate.

Ronaldo was quite well contained. And yeah he didn't do that well against Di Maria, but he was exposed on his wing, which is a massive issue against a team like Madrid. In fact that's a reason why Pedro or Alexis should've probably started.

Come on. Thiago chose to leave. If anything you should be disappointed in his decision. And yes, as someone said, Tito said he can't guarantee more of playing time for Thiago (who already played the majority of matches he was available for in La Liga), but this is only right - a player has to...

The amount of criticism Tito gets here is stupid. For what? Because he didn't play Thiago? As barcanuck pointed out, Tito did well, and it was only his first season (and he had cancer). To call him a shit manager is outrageous - shows how spoiled people are nowadays. A bit like people calling on...

I'm new in terms of having an account, but have been following the forum for a couple of years at least. You're right that some people said that. But you have to keep in mind that a) it was not the majority of people, and that b) it was a sensitive time and people were doing it probably as much...

No, I think you completely missed my point. Most people who defend S.Roberto (like me) do so because they realize he's young and that he can be a useful squad player. Then DonAndres comes up and says we hail him as the next Xavi or Thiago. What I pointed out is that really only few people do so...

Perhaps there are those who think this way. But at least speaking for myself, I don't see him as the heir to either - he's a different player from both Xavi and Thiago. However, I do see a player who can be useful and who, if he develops sufficiently, might have a successful career at Barca. I...

This is a bit ridiculous. It's the guy's first year with the senior team, and he's been played a lot by Tata which shows that at least someone has confidence in him. He's not the most talented or the most technically skilled. But he is very good (especially for a young player) at positioning...

I think for the way Alves is playing to work best is to have a LW who drifts into the middle (like Messi used to). And it's easier to do so if you're naturally left-footed (unlike Alexis).

I've been following this forum for a while, and now finally decided to register. I think the reason why S.Roberto has always looked better in the first team is because players of a certain type need players of a relatively good standard around them in order to look good. Roberto may lack the...
