    Arthur

    bbz, your arguments are coherent, but it seems you are willfully altering the reality to support them. There is simply not nearly enough evidence to make those conclusions about Arthur, that he's so helplessly incapable of creative output. You also make it sound like the ability to produce...

    Arthur

    I liked him a lot. Didn't feel like he should've taken more risks at any point.

    Adama Traore

    4.9 key passes pr. 90 minutes playing for Wolverhampton is crazy. It's very hot and cold still but let's not pretend football games aren't won and lost in short bursts of action.

    Luis Suárez

    Since this thread seems to have struck the note of how we should generally conduct ourselves in discussions, I'd like to stress how annoying little comments like these are in general. If you think that people are expounding unsubstantiated criticisms, then address why they're wrong. Dismissing...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Regarding the Argentina business, I think a bit of distance is probably for the best either way. Put a solid foundation together and then add him as that extra edge. The talisman. Don't build the team around him and expect him to fix all the holes.

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    These league games literally have no bearing on BdO. Messi's only chance at winning it this year is putting on a display against Spurs and have Ronaldo be bad against United.

    Mavericky Puig

    DK62KDAi2Zg Love his attitude. The way reacts to getting fouled by not giving the offender the time of day, just re-starting play immediately.

    Cr150

    He definitely looks better than at the start of last season, but still wasteful and slightly off. Needs Dybala and Costa to play for him, otherwise he won't look better than this under Allegri. He's really pushing himself and I think he'll be more tired than usual in february/march. Juve fans...

    Pep Guardiola

    When we got attacked and pressed, we were pushed out of our comfort zone and lost all confidence. Same as what happens frequently with the current team.

    Cr150

    I doubt those muscles are doing him the favors that people seem to think. He looks stiff as fuck in his movement, especially with the ball.

    Pep Guardiola

    We're comfortable defending without the ball? Mentioning the Roma game is becoming one of the annoying tropes around here, but damnit if you don't keep forcing it on yourself. Chelsea gave us plenty of trouble as well. Willian got a free shot at goal everytime he dropped his shoulder.

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    I'm not saying he couldn't have saved us in 16/17 and 17/18 if he pulled off amazing performances. The point is that we needed saving. It's not his fault that we got dominated as a team.

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    He went missing in quater finals 15/16 and since then the problem has hardly been in the final third, where his responsibilities lie.

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    People were calling fans spoiled, entitled brats for criticising Valverde because he still got results (never mind questioning what exactly his role was in getting those results). A lot of us were arguing that Messi was paving over some serious cracks in the foundation and that sooner or later...

    Sergi Samper

    I believe that Valverde, for better or worse, has a prediliction for midfielders who seem to 'do the reasonable thing' on the ball. Conservative, restrained, dependable players who see the game like he does. I don't think he attributes much merit to Alena's creative capacity or even his fighting...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    He's been there two seasons and I'd say he's alright considering the squad he's had. It's not like we would have gotten anywhere near City in the PL, facing 15-20 Roma away games a season.

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    The thing about the assistant never struck me until you mentioned it. It's certainly.... strange. I wouldn't be surprised if he gives very few instructions in general. I've noticed that different players have totally different ways of playing certain positions. What does that tell us? A...

    Sergi Samper

    For what it's worth, I think he's much more Valverde's type of player than Alena. Doubt any of them will see minutes, though.

    Frenkie de Jong

    A joy to watch once again tonight. This is a guy who is not afraid to get the ball. Covers a lot of ground defensively, too.
