I think Neymar's and Messi's stats are really impressive aswell. The level in the South American qualification is quite high, with very few weak teams. European qualifiers however, have more teams that are ranked low and you get more easy games with many goals. Also, Messi's stats are achieved...

He originally said "No sabe hablar" which is perfectly correct spanish...

Reinjured?

What lineup would you prefer? Curious, you rarely come with ideas, usually you just try to point out flaws and oppose most of this forum really.

Neymar and his talent will get the legacy he deserves. His talent doesn't make him any smarter, more loyal, humble or less greedy. A player is made up by much than his talent, and even his impact on the pitch could have been greater if he wasn't such a superstar in so many ways.

Time will tell? This is Valverde's 3rd season here, I think it's fair to discuss it now. I don't know why you demand so little from the coach of one of the biggest clubs in the world, who has so many ressources and such a good squad. You should expect him to rise to the occasion and be a elite...

Arthur and De Jong give me hope for the future. Their talent on the ball will outlast even EV's limiting and destructive tactics. I don't care how many tackles Arthur make per game, his quality in possession and off the ball movement brings far more to this team than Vidal or Rakitic ever will...

He did really well, amazing have much he brings to the team offensively compared to someone like Suarez. I like him as a sub however, don't think we should put too much pressure on him just yet, and he shouldn't be relied on too much. As a sub, he'll still get minutes to develop without too...

Do you have a link to the interview?

He's from Croatia, so I doubt his real name is Michael. The writing style is also far from BBZ's. Those comments are too short, and don't contain any arguments or stats to backup their claims, which, no matter if you agree with BBZ or not, he always back up his claims. Even if it's with long...

This, + how he'll most likely slow our play even more down on the pitch with his ball-hogging and solo actions. Can't believe the effort our board is putting in to get him back. If only they'd been as determined to get a top coach and spent as much energy on a proper sporting project.

I agree that we have mostly played sterile so far, and surprisingly (under Valverde) we also played some somewhat dynamic football today. I don't agree that we still need Rakitic however. He scored something like 4 goals in la liga last season. And I don't care if he has a great shot a goal...

Hard not to be excited considering he's 16 years old. He seems to be a pretty complete winger for his age; He's quick, has good ball control, moved well, linked up well with the other players and he made a lot of good decisions. It was also a very good game to debut in, by the time he entered...

So, even professionals can se his talent and are noticing that he is improving his game in the final 3rd. Interesting.

At this point I don't see a reason to keep Valverde, and the sooner he leaves, the better. I don't care if the replacement is a 2nd or 3rd tier coach, they'll bring more to the table than EV. Lucho for example, is not a 1st tier coach in my opinion, but at least he had some strengths, like...

This. I honestly wouldn't miss anyone of them.

It's really tricky for a player like Puig I think. His style of play and abilities limits the amount of suitable teams IMO. A CB like Todibo, could go to most teams in La liga and become a starter. Puig, however, will have much better chances of succeeding in a team with a lot of possession...

Really hope we somehow, miraculously manage to offload Rafinha, Coutinho and Rakitic before the window closes. With this shit coward of a manager that we've got, they'll just take minutes from players with brighter futures. Valverde should put performances, talent and potential ahead of anything...

Odds are depressingly high.

I might have exaggerated a bit regarding dribbling to prove my point. True, he doesn't take on defenders 1v1 all the time. He is, however, quite skilled with the ball, and can dribble/carry the ball out of tricky situations and tight spaces way better than Rakitic. On the counters he isn't slow...
