    João Félix

    Jovic is not similar at all to the likes of Paco or Icardi, I don't know where this narrative began. Many people who watch him regularly say great things about his technique and versatility. His dribbling style also seems perfect for that of a striker, good with his back to goal and shielding...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Is this serious? Those are the very standards that are applied to Busi, Arthur, and Vidal on a game by game basis. Only Rakitic is ever exempt from them. Busi and Arthur won significantly more duels yesterday and Vidal won more in 30 minutes than Rakitic did in 60. Arthur and Vidal run around...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Lol, it seems like people have redefined what it means to have a "good" or "not bad" performance when it comes to Rakitic. Short of losing every single ball and making very visible defensive errors that directly cost us goals, there will still be people who go around chirping "good game" or...

    I guess Giannis didn't get bounced in the 1st round by 10 year old Jayson Tatum and bench bums Jaylen Brown and Terry Rozier :coffee: Man got locked down by Semi Ojeleye and Harden didn't take the greatest team of all time to 7 games while LeGOAT got swept.

    If Harden ends up with ~35 ppg and top 4 in the West there's no justification not to give it to him. Rockets have been a meme team with the likes of Melo/MCW/Rivers/Chriss and a bunch of G league scrubs.

    The Mavs traded literally every starter except Doncic lmfao. Mirotic to the Bucks is huge, and they got an incredible deal for him. Maybe Giannis will play at the 5 full time now? Or maybe Mirotic is the 6th man. Sadly, the Rockets haven't made any moves aside from questionable rotation...

    João Félix

    Haven't watched him live but in highlights his dribbling looks very reckless and he shows too much of the ball to the defender as well as questionable footwork. You can see the dribble moves that he barely pulls off and can tell that largely have a very low % probability of success. He looks...

    Arthur

    Coutinho just isn't good enough off ball and his eye for the larger construction of offense is lacking. He plays at CM the way he does at LW, with a lot of useless actions and then occasionally running at the defense like an attacker. Iniesta, for contrast, was always passing and moving. He...

    Arthur

    With him and FDJ it'll be unfair. Both are extremely mobile, energetic, incredible on the ball, press hard off of it. Opponents won't be able to get into their rhythm at all and we'll be mobile in our offense again. Arthur-FDJ-Aleña could be a top 10 midfield in the world right now at the...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Wasn't gonna exert himself too much today, he was playing weird vs Valencia too but I generally just think Leo performs better with Dembele on the RW than he does with Coutinho out there on the LW or Malcom/Aleña at LW. He already has Alba and Suarez to make runs on his left side, Dembele on his...

    Arthur

    Incredible in possession, they could not get the ball off him at all. He dominated Modric and the game overall. 3 tackles and 6 interceptions today, while Rakitic had 1 and 0 respectively. Vidal and Busquets both won more duels than Rakitic today. So much for that mysterious unseen/unappreciated...

    Copa | Semi Final: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 1-4 agg.

    It's not about Coutinho playing on the right, it's the lineup spot that he competes with Dembele for. And while Dembele did start a fair share of games when healthy, Coutinho is still the player that got the nod in most big games so far and I could see EV sticking with him because "proven" and...

    Copa | Semi Final: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 1-4 agg.

    I really wonder who EV will start at RB against Lyon. Would be extremely refreshing to see him digress from his comfortable lineup and play Semedo/Dembele and not Roberto/Coutinho

    Matthijs de Ligt

    Leipzig have plenty of money and have already shown themselves to be difficult to budge negotiators like with Keita. They certainly got every cent they could've demanded for him and will do the same with any other player. They'll keep their guys for however long they please, and it's difficult...

    We were robbed of the one true Superbowl of Chiefs/Saints, instead got the most pukeworthy matchup. I've been saying for years now that Goff is a complete bum, I'm finally vindicated. In other news Pat Mahomes winning MVP is so great, watching him and this Chiefs team is the most fun I've had...

    Don't see what the problem is tbh. The only thing keeping us from the treble in recent years is the presence of a "Douglas" :douglas:

    Frenkie de Jong

    Is this a legit measurement or were you exaggerating? Genuinely asking cause I'd be fucking shocked if Pique was anywhere near top 3 in top speed at Barca :lol: dude's hips and feet move like molasses

    Frenkie de Jong

    He's continuing to play well. FDJ is pretty much the entire creative engine of their midfield. Schone has neutral performances with negligible offensive impact for the most part while Van de Beek, who's supposed to be their CDM, is basically a Paulinho type player and touches the ball as much as...
