    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Because Messi is held to a whole different standard. The comparison has been a lie since 2009 that people justify because the narrative is ubiquitous. It's firmly constructed inside the head of every football fan that these two are the two best players and whoever you prefer among them depends...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    He clearly has some anxiety issues. Messi's thought process is "Whatever I do, it has to be the absolute best possible decision every time I have the ball". When he's nervous, he's paralyzed with overthinking. When he's not nervous, he plays much more on instinct. Then he's not afraid to try...

    Mavericky Puig

    Love his do or die attitude whenever he receives the ball. So energetic and eager. Reminds me of a young Messi in that regard.

    Frenkie de Jong

    That isn't to say that his passing and distribution is bad at all.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Don't know how psyched I am for this signing. The problem with this type of player, the dribbling and gliding CM, is that you have to be so fucking extremely skillfull for it to matter at top level. Players in well organized teams aren't going to rush at you with no second thought making it easy...

    Gareth Bale

    He's not better than Hazard by a fucking long shot. Bale's contribution can be extremely clutch but it's so limited to specific types of situations. He has no dexterity on the ball. Hazard in RM playing alongside Modric, Kroos and Marcelo would probably reach Messi levels of progressive runs and...

    Cr150

    Don't know if United fans are more deluded than RM fans or if it's just that they don't watch him play regularly and just assume he's tearing it up. The guy just really isn't very good on the ball. Not really a creative threat. Supposedly his insane finishing should redeem that and then some...

    Cr150

    it's completely inconceivable for me how otherwise reasonable grown men can watch him play and conclude that he must be the best player on the planet.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Liked that he took it by himself for the final goal. We were too predictable at times when both Neymar and Suarez absolutely had to look for Messi in any given situation.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Would've been nice with a semi-final if Messi had pulled something out of his ass in the game, but don't kid yourselves and think we wouldn't have been completely ridiculed by Liverpool which possibly would have been even harder to stomach.

    Mavericky Puig

    Spilled my beer from watching how this guy dribbles with both feet. Good thing he's been training with the first team so he can keep his head fixed on making it through trying times with the B team.

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Obviously tactics need to be overrun. Can't be stuck in between two entirely different styles like this. However, before we can even begin to even consider ourselves ready to challenge for the CL, we need a team that's ready to put in a fucking fight. We consistently put up the worst numbers...

    Cr150

    I actually don't think I've seen him play this well in 3-4 years. Pretty impressive how he sets himself up for big games. I think his massively delusive personality can be a very lucrative trait in some sense.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Regarding leadership on the pitch and our desperate lack of it, I think it would be very difficult to have someone really take charge while Messi is still here. There's just a certain established dynamic around Messi that makes it impossible for me to envision both him and his teammates who are...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    I'd say great players with large amounts of experience and Messi tipping 90% of equal matchups in Barca's favor. A setup that offers good consistency but lackluster top level.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Messi dragged this mediocre ass team to a league title while Ronaldo's "self management" was one of the main reasons for RM dropping out of the title race in january. Just because the B d'Or is determined by CL performance only, doesn't mean that we have to descend into that mindset when...

    Denis Suarez

    Always nice to see someone fight for his place but even though he might offer more than Gomes and Paulinho, he will be out in the cold again after one bad performance while the other guys came with privileges derived from their price tag.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    I really don't understand how people see us as so strong defensively at the moment. Maybe in the beginning of the season, but IMO the team is starting to look horribly disorganized collectively and individually lethargic with marking. Sevilla could have put 5 past us easily with more cynical...

    Denis Suarez

    What the hell are we supposed to judge him by then, when he's not playing more than that? Just look at him play. It's so clear that he's able to offer things offensively that Paulinho simply can't as a player. Paulinho really is shockingly bad in terms of the main responsibility that falls to...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Jesus christ calm down man. Of course we know that the guy has great potential and that he's already proven himself for other teams. It's still reasonable to question some aspects of his game when some of what he's shown for us has looked straight up amateurish. I'm talking both his touch and...
