He's been playing pretty well for a good string of games IMO. Seems to have more confidence in his dribbling now and his ability to assist in the final third compliment our other forwards well. I honestly think we are fine with our attacking options. Villa and Alexis are great compliments for...

As if there wasn't enough pressure on him already. He probably should have moved to a smaller club earlier in his career for his development, plus less pressure to perform. A club like PSG, Man City, or Chelsea would have been ideal. Its gonna be even tougher now for him.

He was good. Misplaces passes quite a bit but I would say the whole team was either misplacing passes or losing the ball off the dribble. Even Messi was dispossessed more than once tonight. Could only assume at Camp Nou that this will be a different team.

Ronnie at his peak had the footballing brain to go along with his speed and skills. He also was strong on the ball whereas Neymar just looks to go down at the slightest whiff of contact. Ronnie truly could have been one of the greats had he not let the party life control him.

He had a good game. Some on here want him to score goals but still don't realize he's not really a natural goal scorer. He's a creator.

I didn't see him do anything bad. He had some nice runs up top but the midfielders couldn't find him. It happens. He could have gotten more involved in the buildup I think but it just wasn't his night. Wish he would have been able to latch on to that pass from Iniesta which was slightly...

Thats true. He had some nice moments against Italy. But I think what people are mostly pointing to is Neymar consistently NOT delivering against the really strong sides. He's had some decent performances, but I don't see a 45 million plus player. Especially when the more important needs such...

But even in South Africa 2010, you could still see Messi's brilliance even though he didn't score goals. His ability to open the defense up was crucial in their short run that tournament before they were knocked out by a more polished and organized German side.

Rotating Cesc with Villa doesn't work IMO. He can occasionally play as a false forward with the link up with Messi and Iniesta but it doesn't play to his strengths. He's at his best delivering those through balls in the final third and for that he needs Messi and Villa providing constant...

Yeah its not just Neymar, though. Brazil as a team just don't have the quality to win the World Cup. Not right now at least. Especially with the lack of organization defensively. And they don't really have a style at the moment it seems. They just rely on individual brilliance and that...

I think he's played well recently. He just lacks consistency. His confidence is up and down. But in the past few games, his dribbling has looked better along with his passing, not to mention his effort and pressuring defenders. Clearly not a natural goal scorer and not just because of the...

I think Neymar is a great dribbler but I don't see him ever becoming a prolific goal scorer. Misses too many chances and he completely faded out of the game in the 2nd half. Not a player we need, honestly. We already have Villa, Alexis, Pedro, Tello, and Deulofeu as attacking options to...

Other than Messi and Villa, we really don't have anybody that can consistently score. We have alot of playmakers already who can put the dagger ball in there but at times we lack firepower in front of goal, and thats because the likes of Alexis and Pedro aren't natural goal scorers. Its my...

He had some brilliant moments though he drifted in and out of the game. I still don't think he'd fit the Barcelona system because he dwells too long on the ball and overdoes it with the tricks but for Brazil, its good. Brazil's defense is terrible, though. I can't see them winning anything...

In the case of Kaka, it was injuries that really destroyed his career. Ronaldo was undisciplined yet did keep producing at a high level later on. Ronaldinho, Robinho, and Adriano were all talented head cases. Rijkaard's Barcelona for Neymar would be alright because Frank was very laid...

Yeah Puyol won't be able to hold up for much longer. A CB is a must this off season, no ifs ands or buts. If we're going to splash the big money, then its gotta be on our defense and plus it'll give Pique some competition and prevent him from getting too comfortable.

I think Neymar could do quite well on a team like Man City or PSG. But Barca and maybe even Real Madrid is probably too much of a big step for him. The team philosophy alone would be a culture shock to such a care free individual like Neymar and its clear he's never had to deal with a strong...

Hope they do renew him. If we lost him this summer, we'd regret it.

The partying is one thing thats worrysome. Also, his showoff attitude and individualism just won't work in this team. Actually, being at Barca would hinder and LIMIT Neymar's game. I too don't buy into the whole "good coaching" can make him into this type of player. He doesn't like to track...

True but what about the chemistry of the team? Lets say Neymar does live up to the hype, even still he's too much of an individualist for this current Barca side. Cristiano is an awesome player but is he for Barca?? The quality of the player is one thing. But whats even more important IMO...
