    Isaac Cuenca

    put this kid in the Players section! bet anything he gets a first team squad number in January. feel bad for Afellay, but this kid is just a superb talent.

    Pep Guardiola

    I don't think he'll deploy 3 defenders against Real. he's bluffing to keep them guessing. they play with too much width to send 3 defenders against them unless we plan to completely control the ball, and even then we risk getting cut up on the break.

    Eric Abidal

    Lucas Leiva

    Xavi's game is totally different to Lucas' though. Lucas has to alternate between jogging and sprinting much more, and of course launch himself into physical challenges as well. all of that could be affected by this injury - I hope it isn't, but all we can do is wait and see.

    Jose Mourinho

    he hasn't dressed that sharply for MONTHS. nowadays he just wears a polo shirt, looks like a disheveled old man, whines like a woman, and pokes people in the eye. that's not rockstar.

    over Grimaldo and Rafinha? :( still, congrats Bartra!

    Neymar - v2

    Bale is a bit one-dimensional, like Beckham is (that's not a criticism, they're bloody good in that dimension). plus he's British. and Neymar is a fancy dan Brazilian who may be wasting his immense talent, just like Ronaldinho was before we got hold of him. not that I'm saying he's as good as...

    World XI Shortlist this year.

    from that list? Valdés (CL, Lliga, Supercopa x2) Alves (CL, Lliga, Supercopa x2) Vidic (EPL, Charity Shield) Abidal (CL, Lliga, Supercopa x2) Alvaro (UL, PL, Taça, Supertaça, Copa America) Xavi (CL, Lliga, Supercopa x2) Busquets (CL, Lliga, Supercopa x2) Iniesta (CL, Lliga, Supercopa x2)...

    Andy Carroll

    Andy Carroll has the potential to be an absolute monster of a CF, but it won't happen at Liverpool. the team is geared to play fast high-pressure football on the deck led by Suarez, Kuyt and Lucas. even Chunky Adam is getting in on the act ffs! Carroll sticks out like a sore thumb, and also...

    Lucas Leiva

    Lucas is a good midfielder, maybe even a bit great, it's just a shame Brazil need someone truly great at that position. he's excellent for Liverpool, though, and has been for quite a while. in Dalglish's high pressure system he's even more effective than normal. considering Essien and Holden's...

    League Cup

    Ox was brilliant, but I think y'all are getting ahead of yourselves. playing him sporadically for a season at least is the best way to handle him. he's very young and regular football will put a massive strain on his body (he's not some freakish manboy like Rooney was) and his mind. let him...

    Andrés Iniesta

    looked off the pace today. was trying things he wasn't sharp enough to pull off. still, for a first game back that's expected. he'd probably have been better if Rayo hadn't constantly hacked the fuck out of him.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v1

    stupendous goal. showed a burst of pace he hasn't in quite a while.

    Gerard Piqué

    he's always a slow starter, but this season he's been injured. anyway, he was fucking studly today. so good to see.

    Sergio Busquets

    to be honest, the ref made the right call. what's frustrating is that they make the wrong call whenever Real are playing.

    Thiago Translantara

    he was knackered this weekend. had a very average game. not ready for playing twice a week at the very top level, it seems. but he's only 20, so that'll come with time.

    Gerard Piqué

    I don't think it has. true, the first halves have been getting worse (especially this one where he's barely been fit) but he's always masterful in the run-in. Rafa was never like this 'til he got old & injured, and even then there was no pattern, he'd just be really bad in random games. with...

    Neymar - v2

    and he's actually a wide-forward so won't be upset if Messi means he can't play centrally like Zlatan either. hrm.
