11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1
Haha the comment thread was talking about Asensio, but you're not totally out of context because it was preceded by BBZ's apostles as always shitting on Dembele. This time for his finishing, as if he can never improve despite the fact that he often scores beauties and is perfectly ambidextrous... -
11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1
Why are you acting like 6 goals and 6 assists in 19 league starts was bad for a player who was 21 for most of the season? His scoring record by minutes played in UCL is also very good. Also having UCL knockout goals against Juventus, Bayern, plus 2 screamers against Barca shows that he... -
Ernesto Valverde - V1
The league wasn't won by December over Atletico, that was just RM imploding in the fall that killed their chances early. IIRC we weren't safely past Atletico till like around February-March. RM were not great last season with very clear vulnerabilities, and that is why it's so frustrating how... -

Stop with these false equivalences. Messi, Busi, and Iniesta were at least superb against Chelsea in both legs. They all have had at least a number of CL ties in the past 3 years where they've stood out and played really well. Not even close to the same as Raki, Suarez, or Pique in the CL. So...- DonAndres

Sergi Roberto
Found that UEFA liga list, and it couldn't be more horseshit lol. Unless you also want to say that Marc Bartra, Dani Parejo, and Aspas were amongst the best 11 players last season. Isco and Alba don't really deserve that spot either. As for Roberto being a better playmaker than half of the...- DonAndres

Lel I even believed this guy's horseshit about Rakitic being "incredibly far ahead" of Busquets offensively with key passes/assists. They both averaged the same key passes in La Liga 17/18 with 0.8 and Rakitic had only 1 more assist (5 vs 4) than Busi despite all the FK's he takes and that he is...- DonAndres

Who should be the next Barca #9?
Lmao looking at this discussion and what everyone says we need in a striker (mobility, decent size, great goalscoring, great linkup play, versatile) Griezmann really would've been perfect for us :lol: :cry: -

"Rakitic had a better defensive stats in La liga last season . And he did won more ariel duels as per squawka . But then again you will keep on saying that only interception matters , key passes doesn't matters because Rakitic shits all over him in that". ^Your own words, bringing up key...- DonAndres

Fake stats? Propoganda? https://www.whoscored.com/Players/44721/History/Sergio-Busquets Busquets in La liga 17/18 averaged 1.6 aerial duels per game. Rakitic averaged .7 aerial duels per game, less than half that. So you're the one with the fake stats. Busquets covered .5km per game more in...- DonAndres

Bruh, narrative?? :lol: :lol:. You asked me about "what defensive stats is Busi even better in" as if you knew you were right, and then I answered directly basically shitting on your entire premise. Busi has ALWAYS been superior to Rakitic in defensive stats. In fact if you came at me with this...- DonAndres

Why do you bring up defensive stats as if it's the smoking gun in your argument? You do realize that Rakitic hasn't had even 1 competition in 1 season in his career where he was higher than Busquets in tackles per game + interceptions per game. Not for Barca, not for Croatia. Not UCL or La Liga...- DonAndres

Go read through Busi's thread for the past few months if you don't believe me that he is now the ugly duckling of this forum (aside from Suarez who thoroughly deserves it rn). You actually think Rakitic was better than Busquets against Chelsea??? I am convinced over half this forum doesn't...- DonAndres

Sergi Roberto
Please tell me you don't actually believe this, because it is a paragraph made entirely of falsehoods and exaggerations. To begin, Roberto has never even sniffed UEFA starting 11 of the season, squad of the season, or even in the players ranked 4-10 of that position who were close to making...- DonAndres

Ivan Rakitić
This is just false. Why does a pass get glorified just because it's chipped/long? They are still a VAST majority just switched from fullback to fullback, tediously. That is save for those lob throughs which are definitely no routine part of his game, because when's the last time he's done...- DonAndres

Sergi Roberto
Roberto has way, way more limitations than any of Walker/Carvajal/Kimmich People seem to forget the defensive duty of a RB entirely where Roberto can often be as bad as I've ever seen anyone play, save for Aleix Vidal. It gets swept under the rug that he is a clear liability on that end. So a...- DonAndres

Nelson Semedo
Semedo had quite a few ignored runs yesterday. Both Sergi and even Messi were not doing enough to get it to him and he genuinely was looking to get sent behind the line at least a few times I saw in that first half. Funny how Semedo gets shit on for limitations directly linked to how much of a...- DonAndres

Yeah this is all very rose tinted. Rakitic has always played long balls against La Liga fodder pretty effortlessly. This isn't new and he didn't just suddenly become some creative player in the WC. Even in the semis and the final his performances were very muted and negligible against teams that...- DonAndres

So in your mind Rakitic is the pinnacle of fast buildup play against parked buses? He's slower than either of them on the ball when it comes to decision making and progressing the attack. He walks so much that it's rare to ever see him break into a slow jog off the ball when we're holding...- DonAndres

Yeah I thought so too. He looked uncomfortable some times before Arthur was on.
