    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Suarez's first acceptable pass of the night was converted into a goal by Leo. Leo feeds Suarez with hundreds of these every season only to be missed. This is why Suarez is ever anywhere near Messi in assist counts in La Liga. Messi can turn piss into wine and Suarez can only do the opposite.

    Sergi Roberto

    He really was awful today, both in midfield and at RB. As said before, jack of all trades but you really don't want him playing a significant role at any of those positions. Barca should not settle for having players of that level at crucial positions. If anything he should be used more often...

    Ivan Rakitić

    He was alright. People acting like Rakitic hasn't always been able to play long balls against La Liga fodder under 0 pressure. They didn't sit back properly and they didn't press us in midfield. He still simply does not move off the ball in possession tho which is so detrimental to the speed...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    This thread has been full of bullshit for a while now, Messi is still king and this should shut up the haters. Incredible game.

    Lliga | Round 01: FC Barcelona - Deportivo Alavés S.A.D 3-0

    Would say some people can't handle being the coach of a top club :coffee:

    Lliga | Round 01: FC Barcelona - Deportivo Alavés S.A.D 3-0

    I'm willing to bet Arthur plays like 10 minutes at most in the entirety of CL knockouts

    Lliga | Round 01: FC Barcelona - Deportivo Alavés S.A.D 3-0

    EV eliminated another short midget from the lineup, this is close to his dream 11. All he needs is Vidal subbed in for Dembele and FC BBZ will be complete. He must be thrilled

    Lliga | Round 01: FC Barcelona - Deportivo Alavés S.A.D 3-0

    So sad how realistic this is It's like the guy just sits at home coming up with new and unpredictable ways to fuck up the squad selection. We always prepare for the worst and even then manage to get disappointed, EV has made it an art doing the thing that wouldn't even come to the mind of most...

    EV the god :worthy: never fails to surprise Cou on the bench, who'd have thought?

    Frenkie de Jong

    Great again today. He really was running the whole show in midfield. Had several dribbles and I don't think he lost any of them, and when Schone was subbed off it was FDJ pretty much alone in the middle of the park orchestrating everything while Ziyech was more on the wing. Also had a last...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Bulgroz is spot on. Dembele is very unpredictable for defenders. He was making killer plays on both the left and the right vs. Sevilla. The way he plays is also so fast and spontaneous with all the quick touches and ambitious transition attacks. A lot is made out about how slow we tend to...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    He said himself that Barca is above all. I'm sure if it came down to Barca vs. Liverpool in the CL he'd choose accordingly. In the EPL Liverpool's success doesn't correlate whatsoever with Barca's, so no conflict of interest. Like for the NBA, I am a Rockets fan but the Sixers are my adopted...

    Thibaut Courtois

    Wolfe is right about how RM have been much smarter than Barca in how they phase out veteran players. It isn't good to wait it out until those players get to a point where their presence is an active detriment to your lineup in many ways. We've seen that with Suarez most clearly recently, but...

    Frenkie de Jong

    Thought he played well today, especially in the second half he was one of the biggest protagonists. Lot of good forward passes, some nice runs. Had a great through ball to Neres that maybe should've been an assist. Liked his defensive hustle, saw like 3-4 good tackles. One play where he tracked...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    Just scored vs Standard Liege. Having a really imposing performance too, he's a beast in literally every way at 18 years old. Umtiti-De Ligt seriously has the potential to be an all time CB pairing. We have to take that chance.

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Yeah I get your point. Honestly though I have a lot of faith in our young core to end up delivering when the old guard moves on. Most if not all of our biggest problems right now exist in the core of Suarez/Messi/Busquets/Rakitic/Pique/Alba. Every single one of them contributes to at least one...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Was he not the underdog basically every single time except against Sevilla? Are you really gonna blame Klopp for shit like Ramos going WWE on Salah or Karius' spontaneous brain damage? Klopp to Barca is too fruitless a discussion to bother having but I don't see how you can blame him at all...

    Negative Thinking Cules

    One of the biggest problems with Valverde is how much he seems to breed complacency within the team. Every match comment it seems like everything's going casually fine and that the work through the season is business as usual. Even the basic approach to a football season as continuous "business...

    Arthur

    I've never seen anyone misinterpret praise or evaluation of a player as wildly as BBZ. Make any comments whatsoever about Arthur's ability to break the press with dribbling/passes or his movement off the ball and how he's a positive defensive presence, and you'll get hit with the same reply...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    It's not just the amount of comments but the fact that he was singled out for a good performance. Can you find comments like that about any other player today bar Messi? No, yet you make it seem like Dembele was totally neutral today aside from the goal when people were clearly noticing his...
