Nothing less than a GOD. He is truly without peer. -
Sergi Roberto
Roberto's performance today was AT LEAST as bad as Mathieu vs Juventus if not worse. But people will ignore that cause he's a fan favorite and remontada golden boy. One of the worst individual defensive performances this season.- DonAndres

André Gomes
I'm probably one of the most vocally critical people of him here, but I feel bad about his situation and fans should have some empathy. He is terrible but it's not like it's something he can affect/change, something fans should know as we were never near good enough to become professionals no...- DonAndres

Cr150
What? Are you talking about his "assist" where he poked a loose ball back to Casemiro?? Or the only 2 passes he attempted greater than >10m all game, which he absolutely butchered (seriously some of the worst open pass attempts I've seen)? Or the 1v1's where he just fell near the box twice under...- DonAndres

Champions League 2017/18
Yup. PSG are all hype and all talk with literally nothing to show for it. All those Neymar promos and then the war speeches from Emery prior to the tie, and then the 'remontada' hype after they got smacked the first time, etc. They just keep blowing smoke. Only Barca or maybe City as a... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
Been a couple of months since first noticing it but Messi is still progressing towards leading the first ever La Liga Invincibles team while being top scorer/assister/dribbler/chance creator in La Liga (knocked on wood). That achievement is at least as good as a CL and more special/unique in its... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
Is there any player who's played with more of the greats than Henry? He's played with Xavi, Iniesta, Busi, Messi, Puyol, Alves, Bergkamp, Vieira, Zidane, Thuram, van Bronckhorst, Eto'o, Deco, Ronaldinho, Zlatan, Inzaghi, and Van der Sar. Quite the journey. -
Sergi Roberto
Semedo is tiers above him defensively speaking and way better at recovering against pacy wingers. Roberto should be playing where Paulinho played if EV is still against Dembele, he's actually fit for that spot.- DonAndres

Ernesto Valverde - V1
The 4-4-2 was EV's doing but a lot of it comes down to having Paulinho and Rakitic who are just abysmal. There is a limit to the quality of football we can play relying on guys like that for penetration and effective ball circulation. Needs to shake things up, and needs to work Dembele into... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
People are really underrating him today. Couldn't be too aggressive/dynamic because of Chelsea's bus but his passing in buildup and interplay in VERY small spaces was great. He was our only consistent penetration at all and none of Chelsea's midfielders or defenders were able to answer him or... -
Paulinho
Same shit logic that's gotten Ronaldo at least 3 Balon D'ors and Barcaforum claims to be above that primitive line of thinking but fell in love with Paulinho anyway.- DonAndres

Paulinho
Clown doesn't belong anywhere near this club. Slowed down every forward play he possibly could, disgusting turnovers, shepherded into the most useless positions on the ball, and got wrecked defensively at every go. Messi was 10x the defender Paulinho was today and Paulinho really is nothing more...- DonAndres

10 - Lionel Messi - v5
Fucking beast today, pulled all the strings and was the best player by far. Had more touches and impact than Ronaldo vs PSG after literally 32 minutes today, aside from the two clown goals Ronaldo was gifted. If he didn't have the likes of Paulinho/Rakitic to weigh the team down he would've... -

Ernesto Valverde - V1
You both need to look at the context. Strength of schedule is a thing. I said before that their next 5 away trips are Sevilla, Barca, Villarreal, RM, and Sociedad. In the first round they played all those teams at home and only won 2 (Sevilla and Sociedad), drawing the other 3 (along with a lot... -
Ernesto Valverde - V1
The league is important and RM did obviously shit the bed there, but it's near impossible to suggest they were going all out to stay in the CDR. Zidane rotated more than half the team and didn't falter even when they were on track to get KO'd. They simply don't care about CDR and haven't for... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
The problem we're probably gonna have against Chelsea is Kante. Conte is most likely just gonna stick him on Messi and try to stifle him as much as possible. Kante's extremely high motor and defensive IQ could prove a problem for Messi if he plays lazy and lets the game go by him. He needs to... -
Ernesto Valverde - V1
Inexcusably bad decisions in the past month or so. Even if we blow out Chelsea it won't change the fact that what he's done with Iniesta and our rotations is absolutely wrong. Going hardcore in domestic competitions we've already pretty much won means fuck all if we deflate in the CL. RM know... -
Champions League 2017/18
QSG proved against you guys they can collapse to be the same small mentality team they were last year. The penalty and Ronaldo's 2nd goal to concede were just insanely amateurish just like 4 of the 6 we put past them were dumb goals they shouldn't have been conceding. This RM team is the... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
I agree. And other than early 2014 (where Messi was, by all known accounts, the least healthy/fit he's ever been in his career) the walking has been circumstantial or tactical. He walks after scoring a few or when we have a big lead, he walks in certain phases of the game that don't require...
