Basketball/NBA
Football I agree, especially with the culture around college football. You could say college basketball is more exciting on average (playoffs wise), because it is the NCAA sport with the most parity/competition. However the draw of star players in the NBA is something else. There's several...- DonAndres

Basketball/NBA
Ehh I don't agree with this. Maybe if you're a Duke/Kentucky fan or the likes lol. March madness is a unique thing in American sports because of how unpredictable it is but a vast majority of basketball fans prefer the NBA anyday. The difference in quality of play is enormous. Players in...- DonAndres

7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1
Doesn't have to succeed in every way to have a great game. His dribbling/playmaking was superb tonight. -
Ivan Rakitić
Awful passing in both halves. Anything that even resembled a difficult pass he couldn't execute. The shooting/decision making in the final third was poor as well. He did play good defense at least in the first half though. Should've definitely been the one subbed off for Vidal.- DonAndres

11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1
Some are saying he had a mixed performance but I thought he was simply poor tonight. Doesn't have a real structured approach to attack the goal, and the lack of that really showed in contrast to Malcom who played it by the book and in a polished way. -
Sergi Roberto
He was awful on both ends. 0 crosses attempted and key passes all game. Perisic had his way up our flank the entire second half with relative ease. Watch the goal replay and don't look at the ball. Roberto wasn't just trying to dive in with last ditch pressure, he was marking Icardi well...- DonAndres

Sergi Roberto
Perisic ran up our flank unimpeded the entire game, especially the second half. Do people watch the same game or what? lol- DonAndres

Malcom
Yeah he shields it very well and makes the right decision most of the time. Very good 1v1 and can cut in for great crosses. IMO pushing Suarez a bit to the left, having Messi be pseudo false 9, and Malcom on the right can truly work. They can all shift around to different positions depending...- DonAndres

Sergi Roberto
This is insane asylum level delusional lol. The ball was being placed past Busquets and he stretched hard to intervene. Roberto completely got lost by his man and gave up the goal. Perisic was burning him all night, half the time with Roberto not even in our own half while getting countered...- DonAndres

Arthur
In a few years time Xavi is gonna have to come here as a coach to fully unlock Arthur into a 1:1 clone of himself. Hopefully sooner rather than later.- DonAndres

Lmfao This post is gold from top to bottom -
Ernesto Valverde - V1
Is this a serious post? You pull out results from 5 years prior to 2010 and say that is "Pep's era RM" while also claiming the RM team we just beat is at height of their CL winning? You also pull out the ONLY season in Pep's era where RM were more than 5 points behind us in the league :lol: talk... -
Frenkie de Jong
I don't see how there isn't a place for him. If Dembele improves enough to lock the LW spot for himself and move Cou back to midfield, we need FDJ to transition past Busquets. If that isn't the case and Cou stays up front, we will need someone to transition from Rakitic. The fact is we have 2... -
Ernesto Valverde - V1
This win was impressive because we played without Messi and didn't look toothless/lost, but I find it funny how people are jumping to think beating this bum of an RM side is a grand achievement. Their record this season in all comps is 6 wins, 6 losses, and 2 draws and they sit in 9th place in... -
Arthur
His impact already looks like that of a truly elite player. The highest performances we've had this season have almost all come with Arthur starting the game. He is the #1 ranked player in our squad for xG Buildup per 90 minutes which accounts for all the passes in the buildup to an expected...- DonAndres

Frenkie de Jong
I think he could play both CM and DM very well interchangeably, and in many instances on the pitch Arthur can also occupy both zones. Both of them are very well rounded with their passing/playmaking and defensive pressure and positioning. Would be a nice step forward tactically to have a... -
Frenkie de Jong
Seems like he's made a full recovery from that broken ankle earlier this year, athletically speaking. Looks as fluid and mobile as ever. Having great games in the CL and against both France and Germany the last two world champions. This is in his very first appearances in the CL and playing for... -
10 - Lionel Messi - V6
Lol what do you mean "still"? That's literally the same comparison you made the first time. The point is that it was his United career that brings down his stats, which includes the period of time he was still a developing player just like Messi. -
10 - Lionel Messi - V6
Couldn't find any, but Steve Nash has a history of calling Messi the GOAT. And seeing that he's pretty dedicated to watching football that's no blind praise. https://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/06/cristiano-ronaldo-vs-lionel-messi-better-comparison-goat-soccer-football-steve-nash... -
Ivan Rakitić
Just like in the other thread, I feel like you formulate your opinions on Rakitic based on what you expect to see and not what actually happens. Rakitic does have good defensive games but this was ABSOLUTELY not one of them. He was often missing especially in the second half when Tottenham were...- DonAndres
