    André Gomes

    It's not the solid displays. It's the absence of any indication that he can produce something more. Also, if he can put in "solid" performances when the really tough games roll in, then I would be less inclined to criticize his presence. I somehow doubt that though, and if he can't then I think...

    Paulinho

    I get that he plays a factor there, but that role being so vague, it's very open to interpretation as to what it actually requires. My evaluation is that the role could be filled just as well by a player who also had the dexterity to engage somewhat constructively in the link-up play with Messi...

    Paulinho

    I was replying to the other guy. And yes, but that's not what I said - i just took the raw number to illustrate a point. And yes, he's been good in some games. He's also been absolutely useless in others. Because quite like Ronaldo, if he doesn't get the right pass, time his run and find his...

    Paulinho

    No? Why would he be rated the best ever for 8 goals in any case? The principle by which both players are being overrated by their goals is the same. I don't see how the difference in scale negates my point.

    Paulinho

    If his exact goals this season had been scored by Ronaldo, everybody on here would be talking about tap-ins and insignificance. Take away Paulinho's goals and assists and we would have two points less in the league. That number is the same for Denis, for example.

    André Gomes

    A grand total of 1 key pass and 1 chance created in 11 league appearances. That's simply not good enough for someone who tries to be so involved going forward. In comparison Denis has 7 and 9 respectively with fewer minutes. Oh, and Denis wins more aerial duels pr. 90 than Gomes.

    Valverde: "Team is committed"

    It really seems that he's earned the team's affection. I was watching a training video and he was joking around with them. The whole atmosphere and spirit seemed much more relaxed and earnest than with Lucho.

    Cr150

    I'm sorta looking forward to the day when players and coaches from this generation are retired and the honest retrospective opinions of this guy vs Messi come out. When they've both hung up their boots, that's when the legacy is formed. People will remember and talk about the magic and the...

    Cr150

    I don't think he looks significantly worse than in the last 3-4 years. He's is just finally getting exposed now without the proper service.

    Paulinho

    I can appreciate the his qualities and acknowledge the positives and his performances. I'm saying that there's a tendency to ignore what he lacks and the negatives in his performances. Of course they aren't as obvious, but there's just so many times where he doesn't have the ability to do the...

    Paulinho

    I thought he was really average against Real and looked quite bad in some situations.

    Paulinho

    It's the implicit thought behind advocating that he should be a consistent starter though, no?

    Paulinho

    Yes, he can run deep and has a nose for goals, but I don't understand the notion that there isn't a midfielder out there who can do that plus have an actual constructive role in the rest of our game.

    Lliga | Round 19: Real Sociedad - FC Barcelona 2-4

    If they go all out in their pressing game, that midfield isn't going to be able to hold on to anything. And with so little creative threat or even pace in our attack, there's no reason why they shouldn't do that.

    Yerry Mina

    Damn, we're gonna be beasts in the air. Soon I won't have to suffer mini heart attacks at every corner against us anymore.

    Yerry Mina

    The dance is fucking hilarious and not nearly as obnoxious as the Neymar/Alves stuff.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Yeah, he just needs to fire those hamstrings at 100% in training as well. Otherwise he will overload them once he does it in games. It takes some time to learn.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Anyone who knows that once you come back from a serious hamstring injury, you are incredibly conscious of any discomfort there. You insinctively hold yourself back just a bit in training and once you go 100% in games, you are very susceptible to overloading it and straining it. It might be a...

    Luis Suárez

    He's improving but I still hope he will move in more centrally and roam the area. That's where his goals will come from anyway.

    André Gomes

    I believe in him being totally out of his depth with absolutely no redeeming qualities.
