Coutinho out!!! -Barcaforum :rofl1:

Both would do well for the other team as well. That's how good both players are.

Arthur is the truth, but he is still very green and needs work in a lot of areas. He is far from a finished product. He lacks in directness, through balls, and final passes. I'm convinced he'll begin to improve in those areas. In terms of ball protection, tempo control, distribution, and work...

Messi was the best and he will win it.

Yeah it was a pretty good one. Povetkin stood in and traded with AJ from the start, even buzzed him a few times. AJ class shined through in the end. Inouye fights on Sunday guys... don't miss it.

Tottenham Rakitic was explosive, ran like a marathoner, provided attacking threat, defensive stability... what are you on about?

He just refuses to give in to old age. He is still capable of playing treble-era Raki as he showed.

Coutinho does not need rest. He's ready to blow up La Liga. He should get a run of games, as much as he wants. He deserves it as he is currently playing lights out football.

He was really poor yesterday. Completely different player than the one who started off in sensational form in his first games in Blaugrana. Low confidence, dispossessed easily, no attacking creativity, cinder blocks for feet. He is not making the most of his opportunity to shine.

His lack of speed is his biggest and most glaring flaw, but his offense and work on the ball and footballing intelligence is only rivaled by a handful of players world wide.

Looked really good for the few minutes I watched... too bad Frenkie was out...

Barcelona all the way... something tells me we won't look at our elegant best again though.

Who is ahead of Asensio in the pecking order? Arthur has to pay his dues and has Rakitic ahead of him. Let's not make something out of this when there is nothing there. He will be fine.

He didn't just lightly tug on the guys hair, he made a closed fist and yanked it hard... straight red all day... no hizo nada lol... uh yea you did moron.

This perfectly sums up what I said, and it's coming from the boss man himself. He is only 22 guys, we have to remember development takes time and patience. As fans, sometimes we expect performance immediately. Coaches see them and speak to them every day. Not saying Arthur isn't 'capable' of...

I think it has to do with Arthur's age and easing him into La Liga style football. Also, it is Rakitic's last year probably at a high level, so squeezing every ounce of high level football from the Croat is a smart move. Arthur will be a mainstay in our XI for years to come. I think we all...

He lost a step in speed, but his footballing intelligence has improved. So, can we really consider that a decline?

When you have so much money at stake and these large PPV productions, you get corruption at the worst levels. GGG did win a close decision both times. I'm not angry about the Canelo nod, and I've only watched the fight once so far, but it seemed pretty clearly a GGG edge. Onward and upward...

+1 I remember that patch during Messi's injury. Neymar was on supersaiyan mode during that time. Today he was bad. Even with the run that set up Mbappe goal. He was a mess.

It was a perfect introduction in my eyes. Game was won, it was a home CL match with as little pressure as possible, also our first CL match of season, and a chance to get his feet wet. You don't want to introduce such a young player in a super intense moment. It could crush his career. Smart by...
