Good one mate. I genuinely cannot contain my laughter. :rofl1: Messigician watch and learn.

Are you sure he's going to get better next season at 30 years of age with actual competition for his place? Selling him in the summer would be the least "radical" option.

Pep's Barca proud? Really? That was a good, direct counterattack; something we haven't seen regularly in ages now, but let's not get carried away. Pep is not the first manager I think of when I see a halfway decent counter.

He was exposed for me midway through last season. Was always against a loan move and rightly wanted to ship him off to the highest bidder regardless of the loss we would have had to incur. I would have taken even 65-75m. Barto, like usual could not swallow his pride and cut his losses however...

Interesting you say that because I was told Setien's main merit was his attractive style and "Barca DNA." Now the assessment of him should be results oriented despite being mediocre in that category as well? Look mate, I get the fact he does not have many resources and has been placed in a...

:lol: Trying to pass this match off as a good performance is laughable. If we had played exactly the same game under Valverde would you be singing the same tune? How far standards have fallen....

Robben. :lol: Positive outliers are always highlighted, while the bringing up the negative ones makes you a "hater." Truth is you should always assess a player on what his most likely path forward is, not some emotional rubbish intended to create a false sense of optimism. Particularly harsh...

Eh, not sure how much better these current Madrid and Barca teams are results wise compared that Leicester team. In terms of squad value and club stature there is no comparison, but Leicester City finished with 81 points in the 15/16 season. Compare that to the 79 point pace we are currently...

I fail to see how losing on away goals and by one goal on aggregate is "one of the worst ways possible" to lose. That simply isn't objectively true. You can contrast the difference in scorelines between the legs and point to the collapses, but when judging them as two-legged ties in their...

We are evolving. 10 years until we return. #2030Return #DecadeOfDominance

Liverpool were in shambles for over a decade. Were they not trying then and were they intentionally attempting to sabotage themselves? Were all those managers, scouts and directors they went through over the years clueless? Or is building a top level football club just a lot more complicated...

Aye. Love to see this sort of passive aggressiveness. :lol: Keep posting about how we need to get a manager like Klopp and make smart buys on the transfer market like everybody and their mothers aren't aware of that. "Let's get a top manager, rebuild and play attacking football." That pretty...

Of course not. EV winning the Liga is what saved his job despite the Rome and Anfield disasters. If he won nothing or even just the cup he would have been sacked after his first season like Setien is on track to be. What are we supposed to be arguing about?

Bang on again. This is the talk of middling European clubs like Arsenal as mentioned and also Spurs, Dortmund, Inter etc. Those clubs seem to "play well" every match but more often than not get knocked out. At the highest level decisiveness, mentality and will of the collective to grind out...

Good game by regular player standards, not Leo standards. Even his poorest matches have moments that outshine almost every other player on the planet. What I noticed more than anything else is that the bloke has looked miserable on the pitch lately. It is no coincidence he pushed so hard for...

It's incredible how the very same people that blamed absolutely anything and everything wrong with the club on Valverde are now calling for "context" and "perspective" in the case of Setien. :lol: Some of the excuses are valid to be honest, but I don't have any time for them after petulance and...

Spot on. The fact Messi is our best player ever, we're grateful to watch him, we would be in a terrible place without him etc. can all be true while also calling him out when he overreaches his authority as a player for the club. Abidal did not mention anyone by name, he did not refer to Club...
