    Ligue 1

    PSG are like a rugby team that can rotate near enough every week to keep players fresh as very little chance have any competition in league. Even before Barca Vitinha moment he feels slightest thing is off and fresh for next game.

    8 - Pedri

    Vitinha also has it a bit easier with the pace PSG have up top and their full backs. Teams cant focus on the midfield and pressing the way are in last few games with Pedri/FDJ. Pedri was poor.. this idea he and Vitinha were head and shoulders best two is utter nonsense. Vitinha was best...

    8 - Pedri

    Pedri has played well in a ton of big games.. PSG was not one of them. He was sloppy and his pressing was poor too often as it was v Sevilla. The opposition are running off him for fun this season. Rayo did it also. He gets a lot of recoveries as always moving and the second man on press after...

    Our Most Promising Youth Team Players?

    Folk keep mentioning likes of Guille who hasnt even been that great in Atletic team. He has moments and if comes together could be good but he plays with head down far too often and makes too many bad decisions. The likes of Juan Hernandez has been better than him when AM the last few. Dro...

    8 - Pedri

    He isnt even close to peak Xavi currently.. but he is also 22 and folk are comparing him to a peak Xavi in far better teams. One thing that folk ignore that sets Xavi apart.. he was an absolute athlete. Had engine of a long distance runner and would be as fresh from minute 1 to minute 90 and...

    8 - Pedri

    He has suffered as teams are man marking him and FDJ. They can do this when Scez is in goals.. as he is shit on ball and when the likes of Kounde, Araujo and Gerard are poor on ball and being targetted. Also when there are statues like Lewa up top who is not threat in behind and teams can...

    8 - Pedri

    Folk love to just make things up. Pedri was poor v PSG. Gave away ball badly and sloppily too many times and was far too slow trying to close them down. None of the midfielders played well. Vitinha was better than all of them and he didnt have much great beside him either that game. This...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Due to his size and running style Juan H looks like a young Messi when gets going on some of these bursts... right footed and opposition allowing but still. Barca Atletic have a good combination with how early Tommy feeds Juan H the ball who then turns and drives at opposition.

    Same excuses for Arhur and Semedo etc. Always the fault of others when some just cant see what they lacked.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Nothing at all there changed the subject... Kounde does start for France and he will struggle for France if teams press like that. Arthur started for Brazil.. Semedo started for Portugal. Can still see what players lack despite excuses for them. Pedri starts for Spain and had a better...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Heard the same nonsense for year about different Barca players. For Arthur he didnt have runners so had to play safe.. Semedo no one passed to etc. Many more but you can see what players lack and dont and both Kounde and Gerard lack on the ball and PSG played on it. You can see in situations...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Good coach and they all need a humbling at times. Argentina needed it during WC to change team, Lucho himself was struggling a year ago until found a sytsem that worked. If he is a top top coach he will adapt. That doesnt mean win it but stop the same issues occuring in these games.

    Nah you can see by watching players how weak they are on ball. Better fullbacks on ball get on a lot better than those two last night. They treat ball like hot potato and take too many poor touches/decisions on it.

    FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

    Would like to see Barca try and train up some of these tall, speedy wide players as CFs. Vast majority of the CFs seem to be these wee big haired sensible soccer looking lads. Drammeh for example. Tall, quick, looks decent in air. In a club that has Roony, Diarra, Toni, Tunkara etc try to...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Yamal was far too elaborate and trying to prove he is best player in world. Very very few times any of that front four or Lewa when on had the calmness to play it simple and realise the midfield/Defence need a breather. Messi was/is the master of that he could dictate the temp from wide and...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Kounde and Martin were wooden and looked like deer in headlights trying to play out. PSG played on it all game. Its not even giving ball away it is just having no real ability to take ball smoothly and calmly choose an option that can help beat press. Too often a rushed pass looking like dont...

    Henry talked about it after game. They covered for Mendes defenisvely when went forward.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Kounde is shit at passing out under pressure can see it clear as day and it a massive weakness when teams attack it. Majority of time they did offer options anyway but you dont want them always dropping either. Yamal was back. A few times he was over elaborate when back in defensive third.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    PSG also didnt just leave Yamal when Mendes went up the park. They were careful to cover him still so not like a man spare either. Looked like Barca gambled a bit on not making it 1v1 battle between wide players and full backs and it didnt pay off.
