    Arthur

    What games are you watching that you see this? That is maybe Rakitic's worst trait, he often just sits in open, deep positions and doesn't move off the ball while walking. Then he'll just shuttle forwards at random times. He rarely moves into zones of higher pressure, he rarely ever has...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    gasgas' account is the most elaborate long term troll job I've ever seen on the internet. I'm impressed As for Messi it was great to see Steve Nash so in love with him in the post game show. He used to be a great football player himself before he switched to basketball, and is honestly educated...

    Arthur

    Why do you like to oversimplify and dumb things down as much as possible in a discussion? What is inherently wrong about speaking on more detailed and complex terms? Why does it always have to be "short, slow, schoolboy" or "tough, tall, muscly, workhorse" or "no coin, yes coin"?

    Ivan Rakitić

    He was not good defensively at all and out of position all the time when Tottenham were having their late waves of attacks on us. In fact I don't think he had any defensive actions at all other than cleaning up a loose ball after Busi forced an error in the first half. Arthur was the one that...

    Nelson Semedo

    He was great in the first half, pretty shite in the second. Kane fucked him in the ass but he made the right call committing right rather than committing left, as Pique was there to support. It was just a perfect cut and a perfect shot. Had some more poor plays after that tho. Not a good close...

    Cr150

    The police report from back in 2009 says she was visibly upset and crying when she reported it. Her mother also said it was a difficult task to console her and help her. I think both of the current articles cite that she has PTSD and never fully recovered psychologically from the event. Hard to...

    Cr150

    There's literally a medical examination that corroborates she was assaulted and found damage near her anal area.... Just as she said she tried to roll into a ball and cover her privates but that didn't stop him as he just went for her anus instead. Every piece of evidence Der Spiegel has...

    Gerard Piqué

    EV could never do what Lucho did and straight up bench Pique and send a message. Though tbf Lenglet looks very underwhelming so far. He's an adequate passer but defensively haven't seen him have even a single good game.

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Everyone calls Zidane the lucky black magic guy but EV is WAYYY more lucky. Dude gets so many ridiculously lucky undeserved wins and draws relying on individual brilliance (Messi, Dembele, Coutinho) or own goals. Valverde loves defensive subs more than Ronaldo loves penalties. Pathetic.

    Lliga Round 2: Valladolid - Barca 0-1

    When it comes to CL, Semedo not being able to assist doesn't matter because Roberto has 0 UCL career assists and largely bottles it in all UCL matches he's played. But Roberto not being able to defend actually DOES matter and screws us over when we're playing a Roma or PSG and the likes who...

    Lliga Round 2: Valladolid - Barca 0-1

    Not surprised. Valverde NEVER passes up the opportunity to make a defensive sub to hold a lead. It happens every game.

    Lliga Round 2: Valladolid - Barca 0-1

    I can all but guarantee you Pique would not be struggling as much and getting targeted/destroyed as easily if Semedo was on.

    Lliga Round 2: Valladolid - Barca 0-1

    Roberto rubbish in offense and not tracking back at all for counters on defense.

    Arturo Vidal

    I want to see Vidal start a game soon. The only playing time he's gotten is garbage time minutes to defend a lead as EV loves to do. I wanna see how he can perform given a full 90 when we have every objective to do (create, score, defend, etc.) I think he's a player we have for depth but it's...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Read a thread on r/Barca the other day that said EV must keep playing Suarez because he clearly feels bad right now and we need to support him through this tough time :lol: They live in their own little bubble, but to each his own

    Luis Suárez

    Way to pull more numbers completely out of your ass, totally revise "my view of football" as if you can understand it beyond "thug", "slow", "schoolboy", "muscles". 11 Frenkie De Jong's on the field :lol: give me a break. I've CONSTANTLY said that different roles require different traits and...

    Luis Suárez

    You act like it's all about goals, especially when Suarez is a 9 and Dembele was a winger who had to deal with multiple injuries and recovering fitness. What about the opportunity cost of all the hundreds of attacks Suarez fucked up? 10-15 of those for every goal he scores, if not more. That's...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Well I thought it was a loaded comment. If you're being sincere, I too would love to see defensive advanced stats get developed. I don't know of any at the moment though. Also seems like a more difficult task in general than making these impact statistics for offense which revolve around...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    For all the talk about Ronaldo's defensive contribution compared to Messi, he has pretty much NEVER had a season or competition with more tackles per game than Messi or actual defensive contribution outside of aerial duels. Messi usually doubles him in tackles and is equal in interceptions...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Not entirely related to Messi but I didn't know where else to post this: https://understat.com/ Looks like a stats source that provides data for the top 5 leagues on all the new age football metrics (xG, xA, xG buildup, etc.) for every game and all the players. I posted it here because it is...
