He almost had second assist at the end of the game, but Perisic missed a clear-cut chance. All in all, a very good performance. I hope Luis Enrique watched the game.

Very good performance today against Italy. Dominated the midfield for Croatia. Shown his full potential.

Jedvaj. He`s only 18 years old, but looks like a fantastic prospect for the future.

Unbelievable. What kind of injury?

Football fans today act like bunch of schoolgirls. Everything is analyzed and complained about. Now it isn`t enough that he scores goals, makes assists and carries the team when no one else can do anything. No, he has to smile all the time like he is on drugs, chase every player across the field...

Exactly. Usually that would be a bad thing, but in current situation I can`t blame him.

I think that is correct. Every other midfielder that played this season played like some wide midfielder/cover for fullbacks, only Xavi plays classic central role. It`s probably his instincts that don`t let him play like a wide midfielder.

The two biggest mistakes that this board made were : 1.) Deciding not to splash cash on Thiago Silva transfer. He was 28 at the time I think and would be a perfect addition to our squad. In a year or so with decline of Puyol he would become a dominant player in our squad and command our back...

This guy is a fucking idiot. You have Neymar and Suarez in your squad and you start with Pedro and fucking Munir in attack and end up losing in half time. If they don`t go in at half time and we end up losing this game he should be sacked. I was for giving him time to implement his ideas but...

The guy didn`t play competitive football for 4 months. How do you expect him to start performing well, if he`s on the bench? We`re not talking about Bojan ffs, Suarez is a world class striker, just needs game time to get back to his usual self.

What the hell is this guy doing. Every match another lineup. Suarez needs game time and he benches him for Munir and Pedro. Unfuckingbeliveable.

His dribbling is rusty at the moment, so he lost the ball quite a lot, but was a constant threat. Already a massive improvement over Pedro and the rest. And he will only get better. Give the guy a break, he didn`t play competitive football for 4 months, if you don`t count a few friendly games.

Yes, and that coincides with our decline from the best team on the planet to top 10 team. And now you want another player doing the same, or to be honest much worse. Messi has a much lower workrate than Iniesta. What good would that do? Messi is a beast, but football is about defending as much...

:lol: Myth busted. I think you guys are overreacting about this. Of course he will sometimes be on the wing, because there`s free space there. What do you want him to do? Stay in the box most of the game like Mandzukic? Almost all of the best strikers roam to wings sometimes to get some free...

That`s why you can`t play him in midfield. One of the most important things for midfielders is workrate. Look at Modric/Kroos now or Xavi/Iniesta at their prime. They worked their ass off, regardless of talent. You can`t have a midfielder walking around while free players go past him. It would...

He can`t play in midfield because his workrate is too low. Our midfield would get overrun all the time. He needs an agile midfield trio to cover for his lack of defensive running. It worked wonderful when Xaviesta were at their prime. They covered the space perfectly because of smart positioning...

We all know you don`t like Ivan, so your opinion doesn`t surprise anyone.

I can`t believe that the national team problems are happening to him now in the club too. He`s no Iniesta but he showed us last season that when played correctly he can be a fantastic player. But national team coaches played him on the wrong positions to cover for lack of appropriate players for...

Exactly. The same was with Rafinha. And I noticed that in almost every game this season. Even Iniesta looked too static. Only times you see different midfield setup is when Xavi plays, because he doesn`t give a fuck about some stupid rigid system and is all over the central part of the pitch.

Our midfield was utter shit today. What the fuck was that? Lucho has some serious problems with his game plan and if he continues like that he will end up like Martino. We couldn`t control the midfield because our midfielders were too far from Mathieu, Masch or Busquets when he had the ball. It...
