    Ousmane Dembélé

    Yet many believe that he is not it seems. Or don't understand that he has been working and it's evident from his reaction.

    Jadon Sancho

    No one knows. But here is a thing to consider. Messi and Ronaldo have been around for 12+ years. In all those years not a single player has seemed even remotely comparable to them. Is that going to change so dramatically? I would argue that players line Ronaldo will be more due to technological...

    Arthur

    He tried Alena and Bob for 45 minutes and concluded that Alena was a problem? Quick thinking by EV, so much unlike him. Firpo made one mistake in his first game and that's it. Semedo, while wrong footed on the left wing was targeted and abused by BVB away from home. But the man tried his best...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Not it's really not. He looked sad. No?

    Ousmane Dembélé

    No, what are you on about? You can't using the logic backwards. The logic was this: If a player is so sad after an injury => he takes his career seriously => he takes care of himself. Because if he didn't take care of himself he wouldn't give a damn about an injury. He would walk out cool...

    Arthur

    One good example of weird lineup selection is the Liverpool return leg. Because EV himself corrected his mistakes in Camp Nou and subbed on Semedo instead of Coutinho, as he moved Sergi at the midfield. Then he goes at Anfield and fields the same starting lineup that got molested at Camp Nou...

    Arthur

    I wouldn't say this is a "disciplinary treatment" as we really have no evidence for this. EV has a long history of weird lineup choices. Starting from Semedo last season and continuing to Alena and Arthur this season. Vidal was subbed in because the way EV thinks, he is better defensively...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    He looked devastated. If he didn't take care of himself he wouldn't be so sad after an injury.

    Arthur

    A bit harsh and jumping to conclusions really really fast regarding Arthur, for my taste at least. One reason why EV starts Rakitic again could be because he keeps whining. Like Vidal did last season. That's a valid assumption.

    Arthur

    We can't be sure about anything regarding Arthur's off the field lifestyle at this time. Once we do we can crucify him no problem, but maybe we should not dive into random reports.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    We should field a decent squad against Inter and play normally. Then meet Tottenham in the round of 16 and trash them.

    Luis Suárez

    Messi and Suarez getting rested is essential but hard too, as they always want to play. We need to pick matches were it happens though. We also need to be able to win without them against lower tier teams at some point. I don't think anyone doubts that when Suarez is on form he is one of the...

    Ivan Rakitić

    We were never on the verge of being eliminated since we had a home game. If am not mistaken we have many 5-0 games at home this season and are pretty dominant. Away from camp nou our problems seem to be getting worse and that is because WE DONT HAVE A DEFENDING TEAM and we give away possession...

    Ernesto Valverde

    It seems we did switch of completely to save energy, but against German teams that never never quit, that isn't so smart. I reckon if we kept playing the score would be something like 5-0 but we gave them a way back in the game. Also, it doesn't feel like we saved energy by trying to defend. We...

    Champions League

    I don't care. We need to beat the best to be the best. If we lose it's ok. Raki-Busi should be nowhere near a Liverpool game.

    Champions League

    No. We must meet them and take revenge.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Not only that. First of all these players are absolutely world class and secondly. When a person says "Messi's run", it is kind of obvious he is not talking about kicking the ball and chasing after it for 100 meters down the flank kind of run. I detect some kind of hate with that post.

    Arthur

    I have come to the conclusion that midfield pecking order decisions are made by some kind of russian roulette style game.

    Ernesto Valverde

    I am not so sure we are worst defensively with Arthur - Frankie playing. Today, in the last 20-30 minutes, we were shaky as hell. Even when "Vidal the warrior" came in we got even worse. Why? Because this team's strength is not defending. I cannot stress this enough. We just can't defend for...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Running is good and all. Dribbling past half a team while doing it is kind of different. But ok.
