    Ivan Rakitić

    I highly doubt that many fans care about what Mourinho is saying. Rakitic has been playing like this for the entirety of Valverde's stint here so far. Putting up solid performances (often invisible) and doing the most simple things, including much of the dirty work (defensively) that is often...

    Kylian Muppet

    So he scored a penalty and a tap in 10 cm away from the goal-line in the by far best league in the world against the giants that are Caen. GOAT. In all seriousness, a joke that goals in Ligue 1 have the same value as goals scored in La Liga, the EPL and Serie A. Put anyone on that QSG team as...

    Sergi Roberto

    An amazing performance. I don't think that he put a foot wrong in the entire game. Outside of 1 inaccurate pass late in the game if I recall. Won every direct duel against Vinicius and Reguilón as well. A huge contrast to Semedo's performance on Wednesday night although it must be said that...

    José Mourinho

    I would not want him here even if he was somehow the only managerial option out there. Pretty much outdated and he has been declining for some time. Not to mention his managerial style or persona. Or the drama. His boat sailed a long time ago although it has always been painfully clear that he...

    Gerard Piqué

    My MoM. Was everywhere and hardly put a wrong foot. As usual in the El Clásico and in big games. The definition of a big game player when he is focused on and off the field. Been absolutely crucial in our defensive improvement. Since the 1-1 draw at the Wanda in late November, we have only...

    Clément Lenglet

    A very impressive performance indeed. Not that this comes as a particular surprise as he has been very solid all season long all things considered. Evident by us only letting 6 goals in so far in the league after that Atlético 1-1 draw. That was 13 league games ago. Only conceded once against RM...

    Ivan Rakitić

    One of his better all-round performances this season. The goal was the cherry on the top. In any case not an incredible or otherworldly performance by any means so let us not overreact. Piqué was our MoM. That however should not really change his immediate future or the fact that a sale this...

    Lliga | Round 26: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 0-1

    Not the least surprised that RM was incompetent once again highlighted by Benzema, Vinicius (has to be the worst player that I have seen in a long while in front of goal, comical stuff, highlighted by that shot that went out for a freaking throw in:lol: ) and an invisible Bale. Valverde...

    Premier League 2018/19

    "Best league in the world". One of the best enduring jokes out there.:lol::rofl1:

    Lliga | Round 26: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 0-1

    We will win once again. It was not a coincidence that RM did not convert any of their chances on Wednesday. They lack killers. Their most "dangerous" players a few days ago were a 31 year old Benzema who has never been a killer and a 18.5 year old Vinicius who has scored 3 goals while having had...

    Diego Simeone

    The most gifted managers and tacticians throughout the ages as well as today are not one trick ponies. Not saying that Cholo is a one trick pony but he has a tendency to use an overly defensive approach in games, especially away from home, against opponents that are inferior to Atlético as a...

    Jadon Sancho

    I was not saying a word about buying him now. Merely that he was one to follow closely in the immediate future. Obviously he won't come cheap. No player with this kind of talent, potential and young age will move on for cheap. I agree with a striker (number 9) being a bigger priority, finding...

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    ltWkKNS9q-c His first extended interview since the World Cup. Will watch it today or in the next few days. Should be an interesting talk.

    Diego Simeone

    I have a love-hate relationship when it comes to Cholo. I admire his passion, his relationship with his players, the fact that his teams, regardless of how they are playing, almost always leave their heart and soul on the pitch, the fact that he has turned Atlético into a Spanish and European...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Could he not have married a Croatian or Swiss girl instead of a Spanish one? Now he won't leave the country. Rakitic has been a decent servant for the club in his 5 years here (nothing extraordinary if you ask me) but it is time to move him on. Too many of our leading/most important/most...

    Jordi Alba

    5 years is 1 too many but on the other hand we might part ways with him before that. While Alba is an amazing LB (in particular in the past few seasons) he is pretty much relying on his pace. Once that is gone he will be a shadow of what he once was. I don't predict that happening anytime soon...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Making the difference again as usual whenever he is present on the pitch. His pace alone ensures that. Even when he has a mediocre or below average game like on Wednesday night his runs without the ball created danger almost every single time and he made those 2 assists as a consequence of those...

    Malcom

    The way that Valverde has treated him (more precisely ignored him completely) is shocking and a complete and utter waste. Even more baffling and insane given his arguably MoM appearance against RM in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal. This lack of continuous playing time does...

    Jadon Sancho

    Fantastic goal. What a talent. 9 goals and 14 assists in 31 appearances (2/3 of those appearances significantly less than 90+ minutes). I could very well see him succeeding for us on the left upfront in a 4-3-3 given that he is right-footed. What impresses me the most is his eye for a pass and...

    Sandro Rosell

    He is not going to run again. Too many skeletons in his closet for such a thing to occur. Cardoner is the continuity option. Unless Laporta will regain his drive, reinvent himself a bit and kickstart a much more serious project than back in 2015, I am all for giving Font the chance. Tired of the...
