    6 - Carles Alena

    lol i've been very sceptical of him, but I thought he did great tonight. There were a few passages where he fell out of the game a little bit, but did most things right and covered a lot of ground defensively.

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Coutinho in the midfield means we have to switch our paradigm to defending by having possession completely. Go for balance and you'll get stuck in the middle. The way I see it, if Coutinho is in the midfield, he has to have Arthur with him (who, I may add, is no defensive slouch either).

    Andrés Iniesta

    I'm not sure why, but that video nearly moved me to tears with him smiling at the end there sitting on the bench. With everything he's gone through and all... there was something extremely blissful about seeing him without any worries just meeting his old friends.

    Oh god, think of the post-retirement statements from him, we and the coming generation will have to suffer under. When the spotlight on him begins to fade, he will become much worse than Pele.

    Cr150

    "Here, we are a squad, elsewhere, some players feel bigger than the others"."If Dybala or Mandzukic don't score, they are still happy and you see them smile. It's very different to Madrid, here it is more of a family." It's genuinely bizarre how little self-awareness this guy has. Has he...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Compared to other top club three-man midfields, ours is by far the least productinve going forward. Rakitic, Busi and Arthur pile together 1.8 key passes pr. 90 mins between them. Modric, Kroos and Casemiro are at 3.8. Kante, Jorgingo and Kovacic are at 3.5. Pjanic, Matuidi and Bentacur are...

    6 - Carles Alena

    Does Puig have the technique, sophistication and coolness of Iniesta? No. Has any other player in history had that? No.

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Spite is an underrated motivator. Remember the story Henry always tells about Messi?. Sometimes when a call didn't go his way in training, something would switch in his eyes and he would enter this absolute beast mode, basically going down to pick up the ball from the keeper and going past...

    Frenkie de Jong

    well, seems like he's off to Paris. He fits hand in glove in the Barca mythology, so him passing us up doesn't exactly reflect well on our current management. Oh well, maybe we can get him when he's 28 and has lost most of his hunger for success.

    Malcom

    not saying that this is necessarily a bad one, but sprains can be bitches. i had a third degree ankle sprain that had me on crutches for weeks and kept me sidelined for months and required comprehensive rehab.

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    What a stupid fucking post BBZ. Did you seriously not see Ronaldo completely choke in both semi-finals and the final of last season's CL campaign? The difference is, that if Messi did that, we would be out in a second, whereas Real still beat a strong Bayern side over two games and neutralized...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    The thing is, I don't think the coach is doing him any favors by allowing this or at least not encouraging him to make an effort. The reason why he walks isn't because he's lazy. The man loves nothing more than to play football. The reason, as I see it, is the pressure. There are these...

    Lliga | Round 14: FC Barcelona - Villarreal 2-0

    How many fucking times does it take for him to realize that you need fast wingers who can make runs. It's not fucking 2003 anymore. Neither Sterling or Sane are significantly better footballers than Malcom. Those two wingers, especially Sterling, make mistakes all over the place. But they...

    Lliga | Round 14: FC Barcelona - Villarreal 2-0

    one of my best mates is an everton fan and he loves him. sounds like a different player when he describes him.

    Ivan Rakitić

    There might be different reasons for why Rakitic runs less in a match than others and one of them might very well be that he's being overplayed. My point is that, as it stands now, it makes no sense to have him on because of his workrate.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Is Rakitic a workhorse? This acclaim often gets touted as a redeeming factor for his lack of offensive output. But how much should we really value this quality of his? With UEFA's statistics on distance covered this season in the Champions League, it's pretty simple to evaluate his workrate in...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    It's that what constitutes a good game for Ronaldo nowadays? He literally only had two notable actions over the course of 90 minutes, none of which were anything really special. By notable, I mean actions where he bettered a scenario by doing anything beyond picking the most simple option...

    Ivan Rakitić

    he would have been great in the 90's. technical, smart and dependant player but hardly capable in the modern game.
