    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    I don't care that Courtois is part of a successful team. He's not the reason for Atletico's defensive record. Atletico Madrid concede less shots than Barcelona and Real Madrid. Courtois had to make 30 % less saves than Valdes this season and Valdes has been out for 6 weeks. Mönchengladbach...

    I hope we aren't obsessed with Courtois. He isn't that special.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    What's wrong with Mandzukic anyway? He scores regularly, works extremely hard and is a superb header. Would be the perfect #9 for Barcelona to mix it up at times. Bayern losing Mandzukic is good news. One immense aerial threat less. :D

    Gerard Piqué

    I know. What I mean is "pictures of peoples private lifes". I'm visiting barcastuff to read about Barcelona lineups, formations, transfer rumours, press conferences and all that stuff. I don't care about pictures of Cesc's girlfriend going shopping with her ex husbands children in Paris. More...

    Premier League 2013/14

    Di Matteo: 52 % Benitez: 58 % Mourinho: 63 % If we ignore the 9 Europa League games, because Mourinho doesn't play in an easy competition like that, it's 56 % for Benitez. Beating the likes of Everton, Southampton, Arsenal and Liverpool has also become harder this season in the league IMO. It's...

    Premier League 2013/14

    I still don't understand your problem. How is he hurting the team? Chelsea are 2 points off the top right now and finished first in their CL group without Mata. Last season at this point they were 10 points off the top in a title race that wasn't as competitive and exited the CL in the group...

    Gerard Piqué

    If I had to describe how a cliché gold digger celeb wife looks like, Cesc's woman would be it. She resembles the absolute prototype (of course I don't know her and she might have the best personality in the world and so and so forth). Not that I really care but barcastuff keep posting those...

    Premier League 2013/14

    Weird post. Why would he "tweak" a system instilled by Roberto Di Matteo instead of applying his own? Mourinho has a clear idea how he wants to play and Mata doesn't fit that philosophy of defensively adept, industrial, physical, fast transitional football. "Counterproductive to the team and...

    Premier League 2013/14

    Shambolic home record from Manchester United. 14 points in 10 games. 12 goals scored. Wow.

    5 minutes of Moyes time (no one made this joke before).

    Gerardo "Tata" Martino

    Also, to be fair, it should be mentioned that Tito didn't change too much tactically that a loss of such magnitude can be put solely on him. Veteran players with hundreds of caps played in their usual positions alongside their usual teammates in the usual system. I thought about it and after...

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    Naaaaah, that sounds too far fetched. I think it's actually Tello with a wig. :coffee:

    Barca draws Man City

    True, should have probably said "like Bayern when attacking". Their defense is more like Tito's Barca. :shakeshead:

    Barca draws Man City

    It just struck me how similar City are to last season's Bayern team. 2 physical powerhouses in the middle of the pitch with Yaya and Fernandinho, great thread on set pieces, fast counterattacks, different goalscorers all over the pitch. Big difference is that they aren't as disciplined and...

    If Alexis is the father of Pedro's child then Tello is the father of Mascherano's wife. What the ...?!

    Cristian Tello

    Those players weren't loaned out when they were 22 and already part of the first team. Loaning out U20 youth players is a different matter (Pique wasn't loaned btw). If we are loaning him out, we are loaning him out because he can't get playing time. If he can't get playing time now, he won't...

    Cristian Tello

    "Some playing time"? It's the usual Barca method of getting rid of young players. Giving them false hope that they could still have a Barca future by loaning them out instead of selling but in reality everyone knows they won't return. Bojan loan saga part 2. Could have gotten € 10 or € 15...

    Barca draws Man City

    For me Pedro is the better fit for Barcelona football when both are in form. His touch is top notch, his decision making is top notch, his linkup play is perfect (especially his wall passes and one-twos with Messi in tight spaces), his passing is very good and even in dreadful form he comes good...
