    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    One thing I really hate is that even though we're clearly not going for a slow build-up possession dominate style of football, we still very often wind up faced with something that resembles a bus. If EV wants to employ the style he knows about, which is on all counts a reasonable thought, he...

    Leon Goretzka

    Lol you could have put prime Xavi in that Grenada midfield and he wouldn't have been able to do make a difference. Leon plays on instinct. He receives the ball, he can protect it and maybe beat his man. He sees space, he runs into it. He's not a player that thinks more than one step ahead. Put...

    Leon Goretzka

    From what I've seen he's not even better defensively than Samper, who is a better creator and passer in general. He looks like he could be a promising player in a mid PL club. No idea why we are going after him. Still, I would rather have him over Gomes and Rakitic.

    Denis Suarez

    I don't think anyone is raving about this guy being fantastic or anything, but he's by far our best option for width in the left side. He was far from fantastic, but he was looking for the right spaces, trying to start something and at times succeeding. Honestly he wasn't significantly worse...

    Nelson Semedo

    The number of goals we have conceded is incredibly misleading to our defensive quality. Do you not watch the games? A team with one win in the last 12 games just managed 17 attempts against us. Both Paris last year and Bayern in 2013 put 4 past us with less.

    Biggest evidence of how bizarrely biased the b d'or are the polling results from 2015 where almost 30% voted for Cristiano IIRC after all the ethereal shit Messi pulled that year.

    Denis Suarez

    I think people are upset because Denis is definitively one of the best 11 players in our squad right now. More importantly he's one of the only players that make Messi better.

    Luis Suárez

    His positioning is fucking strange. Every time we have the attacking momentum to put in a dangerous cross, he drifts away from the danger area to the edge of the box. What is that about? Valverde needs to tell him to quit being involved in build-up and just focus on running deep and being a...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Bad game, but not worried for him. He looks motivated and physically well. Clearly suffering under lack of link up opportunities up front, though. Suarez fucks up every one-two and nobody else is there for him.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    I was shouting at him through the TV all game to go drift out wider. It doesn't make sense for him to drift around that close to the center. He closed down spaces for himself and others. Can he beat a man 1v1 or only zig-zag through the middle?

    Not really into the idea of going after a prospect for the future midfield right now. Focus should be on getting an established and experienced world class mid.

    Andrés Iniesta

    There's no defending his place in the starting 11 next season to me. Played the biggest part in our CL departure by setting the tone for the Juve with his nonchalant defending against Dybala in our box. Showed them how vulnerable we really were. His missed chance, anybody could have missed it...

    Neymar Jr. - v5

    He's lacks the confidence that will put all the pieces in the right places. Still great at transforming a simple ball at his feet with an opponent in his back into a good attack as evident in Rakitic' goal.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    You can't blame him for the first one. He knows he has to put it between the legs of the defender, just a shame that path didn't lead into the goal afterwards. The second one was an awkward timed volley on his right foot, but still probably should've scored. It had to come from him tonight. He...

    It sounds like there's a good chance it's real. An investigation conducted by five journalists and published by Der Spiegel who have a solid reputation.

    Luis Enrique

    My point is that while we were shit in attack with generally impotent runs and total lack of initiative, we still created two gigantic chances that should have been goals. If they made mistakes, they're going to make them again. If we decide to actually show up, I don't think it is as unlikely...

    Luis Enrique

    Simple in terms the whole play starting from status quo consisted of one player making a run and receiving it in a 1v1 with Buffon. There were no combinations or anything to unlock it. No multiple players running at once to untangle the lines. All it took was a good pass and a simple run.

    Luis Enrique

    I'm more optimistic about this one than the PSG return leg. No doubt we can score three. I feel like the whole world is overrating Juve's defence right now. They parked it heavily and we still created big chances with very simple runs. If we fire up the quick combinations and torpedo in runs...

    Luis Suárez

    Can someone remind me why this guy isn't on his way out? He's world class at some things, but he simply cannot be in a team that wants to play off him in small spaces. A ball at his feet is a lost possession 4 out of 5 times. Now, it seems, his only redeeming qualities, finishing, is gone too...
