    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Too soon to conclude anything with certainty, I agree. However it is worth pointing out that things are moving in the right direction. At least on paper. Valverde has deserved his fair share of criticism but when he is improving, he likewise deserves praise or at least not to be criticized for...

    Qatar FC

    Next page. According to most QSG fans, at least in France, they are of the opinion that QSG is the "victim" here and that UEFA is doing an unfair witch-hunt against them.:facepalm:

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    C. Ronaldo, at least to me, is not even in the competition when Messi and Maradona are talked about. Other than RM, Man Utd, Sporting and Portugal fanboys, I doubt that anyone truly believes that C. Ronaldo is a better player than Messi. However it is a bit of a surprise that SAF is saying that...

    Wu Lei

    €35 million? You got to love oil/gas money.:facepalm: That is an amount that most Spanish clubs cannot spend let alone on a young and largely unproven Japanese player playing for a Portuguese mid table club.

    Lliga | Round 22: FC Barcelona - Valencia CF 2-2

    Since we are playing against Valencia at the Camp Nou, the game below is often synonymous with Valencia at the Camp Nou for me. I recall this game like it was yesterday and I was a very young kid back then. More emotionally invested into football as well to an almost unhealthy degree although...

    Wu Lei

    Yes.:lol: Funny that you mention that Japanese guy. A few months ago I caught myself watching the Portimonense-Benfica game due to a bet and exactly that Japanese attacker scored. He was rather impressive. According to Wiki he is no longer under contract...

    If anyone was ever in doubt about how corrupt UEFA and modern day football in general is. Shocking stuff. NASSER AL-KHELAIFI ELECTED ECA REPRESENTATIVE ON THE UEFA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. https://www.ecaeurope.com/news/nasser-al-khelaifi-elected-eca-representative-on-the-uefa-executive-committee/...

    Arturo Vidal

    Vidal's surname or at least middle name should be "garra". He is everything that this team needed and I have already praised him numerous times here and talked about his importance but I can't state what a BEAST he used to be in his younger days. Looking at him this season, it makes the fact...

    Chelsea

    I watched (one of the only Chelsea games that I have seen this season mind you) them against City and suffice to say that this specific performance by Chelsea and Sarri (tactically speaking) was impressive. Since that result it has gone downhill for them. However to be honest they don't even...

    Gerard Piqué

    Good one.:lol: I don't care what his critics will say but Piqué is not only a club legend but one of the best CB's of his generation and of all-time and probably one of the most succesfull CB's out there trophy and accomplishment wise. When he has his head screwed on (is focused) he is one of...

    Wu Lei

    That is an exciting description as Son is arguably the best Asian player currently while Salah is the best African player. I am always in favor of stars emerging in lesser known football markets. Even more so if such stars end up playing in Spain or Italy. As I wrote there is another very...

    Wu Lei

    I have no clue who that guy is as I have never watched him in action to date. However looking at his stats he seems to be the best Chinese player for what that is worth. A good move by Espanyol and hopefully this will create added interest in La Liga in China. I understand that Spanish football...

    Krzysztof Piatek

    Too soon to tell. Missed out on what exactly? So far he is a talented 24 year old striker who stylistically would not/is not the greatest fit for us. Not sure what we "missed out" on when there are better options out there on the market. At least on paper. This guy has 6 months of experience in...

    Lliga | Round 22: FC Barcelona - Valencia CF 2-2

    Valencia is in great form lately and that win against Getafe gave them a huge boost. Many of their injured players have returned recently as well and they are on an upwards trend. It won't be easy as they have tended to annoy us at the Camp Nou. At least they will be impacted by the heavy...

    Samuel Umtiti

    It was good to see him on the stands yesterday night alongside Dembélé. Not much news about his return date but hopefully it won't take much longer. As decent/good as Lenglet has been he is no fit Umtiti. Not only that, Piqué has basically played in every single game. Full minutes. He could do...

    Frenkie de Jong

    You are without a doubt one of the biggest trolls on this forum and that is saying something. In what universe is the Eredivisie ( :lol: ) better than Ligue 1? By no measurement is that the case. Neither economy, talent work, actual level, UEFA coefficient list, European performances in recent...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Fair play to Valverde. I am sensing an improvement in his squad rotations and substitutions. Not sure if this is a temporary thing but it would be great if he has learned from his mistakes last season. Such as more rotations in the league at home against on paper "easy" opponents (yet to be...

    Luis Suárez

    A great performance once again and he has consistently been better this season than the past one. Not sure if numbers confirm this (don't bother checking it here and now) but his overall play does if you ask me and that is something that statistics won't show. With at most 27 games (provided...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Hopefully this above average (compared to his recent performances) performance tonight will give him a much needed confidence boost and propel him towards greater and more consistent performances. What I liked about him tonight, in particular, was his willingness to run the extra mile. You can...

    Arthur

    Once again proving the doubters wrong. People who can't see that Arthur is crucial for our midfield control and fluidity are either blind or watching another sport altogether. He is a marvel to watch and only the sky is the limit. I think that we might have struck not only gold but diamonds as...
