Van Basten did it twice as well and also once 6 goals, gerd muller also did it like 6 times

Its just standard marketing/pr team work to make up for his bad image.

I always like that line that went something like this " you watch a barca game, afterwards you will feel Busquets was invisible, you have barely seen him yet when you focus on Busquets alone you will see the game" He is definitely the master in the shadows and the glue to Barca's system. I...

But what makes it weird is that he has scored a shitload of penalties during high pressure moments where normal players fail. think of the penalty shoot outs, classico's, cl games etc. Only thing that spook him are tall goalies but in general his missed penalties used to be more during...

But why?

I have to admit though, every time he steps up im having this feeling like: fuck he is going to miss.... Dont feel secure at all about it. A guy like Messi should be Pirlo level at freekicks with his skills and near balo levels with the penaldo's. Or at least solid. He has the technique to...

Iniesta used to sometimes in many games in 2012/13 imo.

You basically need 4/5 years to see if he justified the fee. But its always dumb to spend so much on a prospect. There is always a bigger chance of him turning into Denilson than becoming worldclass.

its not that bad though for a guy like Keane. Ramos got send of like 20 times by now and thats in a Real friendly liga where he always escapes. Maldini picked up like 1 red in his whole career.

If we can take both Celta and Sevilla in the coming weeks will have aquired a significant amount of championship points (points in risky games). Last year it was a crucial win as well, lets hope we can do well again and win on wednesday.

They need to be subbed on whe we are leading to build confidence rather than face busses though. Im sure they would improve better then.

Why can he keep his confidence/focus in a classico and lose it in weak games. Opposite mindset.

Like vs Chelsea 2012? he actually didnt miss a penalty for barca after that until late 2013 then since last year he has been weak at them.

Its because people put him on the same level because of his stats ) which is 80% penaldo´s and tap ins). Its an insult to Messi as a footballer.

You wont see him overshadow Messi unless he plays shit cause he prefers a supporting role and looks for him a lot

80% is average. Messi´s conversion was always around 83% but surely has dropped now. He has like a 50% conversion rate for the last 2 seasons, which sucks a lot.

We can get away with Adriano at lb in a game like this.

Good line up, we need rotation and Messi in midfield seems like a bandaid solution but we can get away with his low work rate against the like of Levante. Good to see several players resting. We can sub in Iniesta/Gumbul in for Rakitic/neymar and sergi roberto for Alves later and Matthieu for...

Yeah why cant we get Telllo back?

Del Bosque has favourites, thats the only reason why.
