    Ivan Rakitić

    Once again, your post is just line after line of non-truths. I don't know why you keep posting such blatant lies when it's so easy to prove wrong. -You claim you "didn't cite the Guardian", yet you cited it in a post quoting me claiming that Rakitic was great against Tottenham....... because of...

    Jordi Alba

    The closest Alba came to playing like this was in his first season in 12/13 with Iniesta on the LW. Those two had insane chemistry.

    Jean-Clair Todibo

    A Jerome Boateng type player. Maybe faster but somewhat weaker aerially. Not as much of a disaster as Mina in 1v1 obviously We don't know if he'll actually become world class or not but we can speak that into existence :cool:

    Ivan Rakitić

    You've gone from citing ratings from a tabloid (the Guardian) to citing ratings from an algorithm. The kind that, for most of their careers, rated Fabregas was superior to Iniesta. Are you not capable of interpreting data for yourself? Most of your arguments seem to appeal to the authority of a...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Reminds me of this interview with Fergie after the CL final in 2011: Reporter: "Which of Barca's players would you sign if given a blank check" Fergie: "That's one of the stupidest questions i've heard in my life" ....... Fergie: "Mascherano" :lol:

    Ivan Rakitić

    For such an all round player, a sizable chunk of his game consists of dump off passes to Roberto wide open on the wing. What exactly makes Rakitic world class? Because if Busquets is not WC at the moment (which most Rakitic fans consistently say), then Rakitic sure as shit isn't. Hell, I don't...

    Jean-Clair Todibo

    Having athleticism could never be a bad thing lol. It's only bad if the player lacks in all other areas. And even so, you can teach awareness/technique. You can't teach someone to be a 1.9m athletic beast. At a position like CB it's especially key to have athletic players. Look at some of the...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Surprised that he only has ~200 more key passes than Ronaldo lol. Though it can be explained by RM consistently taking more shots than us on average, Ronaldo's advanced position on the pitch, and the disproportionate amount of chances that Messi creates being shot off target (key pass is a shot...

    Luka Jović

    Jovic has more assists than Werner this season in the Bundesliga. And that too is with a fair amount fewer minutes than Werner. They're also practically the same in key passes. Not that Jovic is a standout passer by any means but he shows a fair share of skill on the ball and is by no means...

    Gerard Piqué

    He always plays bad next to Roberto. It's almost uncanny. Pique's most stable form this season has been when Roberto was injured. It's not an excuse as his individual level has dropped considerably, but food for thought since we need to mitigate this problem in any way possible and that includes...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Had yet another interview stressing the importance of winning the CL the other day. He seems like he's in a seriously great place mentally speaking and hungry to win big and lead the charge. With PSG's injury, Liverpool/Juventus looking shaky, etc. we are in a very great position to go all the...

    Sergi Roberto

    Apparently he dedicated his goal to his mother who has ALS. Very saddening to hear that, couldn't imagine having to cope with that personally.

    Jordi Alba

    I agree, but when he does play he is the only player in the squad with stamina/energy to rival Vidal. Unreal lungs on this man, and doesn't get enough credit for it.

    Arthur

    This just shows how underrated and underhyped he was when he was in Brazil. At 21 years of age he led his team to the Libertadores (CL equivalent) as the best player in the country and MOTM in the final. He was one of the first and only players in Brazil to play with the influence and Xavi-esque...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Yup, Ivan Rakitic is the one keeping us from losing the league and doing worse in the CL. When Arthur and FDJ run the midfield we will be sooooo much worse for it. lol

    Jordi Alba

    Assist machine. I remember the days when he would foolishly always look for the aerial cross, which is his biggest weakness. Instead now he just collects the long pass and makes the cutback and boom, goals galore from his service. RM had a lot of "set plays" they would run with Marcelo/Isco or...

    Arturo Vidal

    Beast. Before he came on, the 2nd half was going Sevilla's way in terms of the momentum. He comes on and instead of being pressed back into our half he pressures them into errors and creates transition opportunities. His motor is so high and he's always moving/pressing/making vertical plays...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Great game, and he's obviously a great player. Still, would you guys prefer he starts over Dembele? I maintain my position about Coutinho's long term viability in a starting role. His talent has never been questionable though, even in poor form.

    Arthur

    Where did you conjure this from? Out of Rakitic/Busi/Arthur, Arthur was the only one who was visibly active during the second half with his involvement. Once Rakitic went off and Vidal came on we regained control of the match and outworked Sevilla for 2 more goals.
