    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Great goal. Fine performance. Something I've been thinking about is that of the times he gets the ball in a position facing the goal, how often he is on the left side compared to the right. This is of course an effect of himself leaving the right side which means there isn't a whole lot of...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    I don't know if it's Leo or Lucho coming up with this, but it seems like the plan on paper is to have Messi dance around in the false nine looking for small pockets of space to receive the ball in, and then just do something that converts the oppositions imbalance to a good chance. It's not...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    He was a better player in 11/12. He scored 50 in the league and no other Barca player scored more than 12. If he had had Neymar and Suarez in 14/15 form, they could have done just as much mayhem back then if not more.

    Denis Suarez

    I think people are underestimating Denis a bit here. 1. He hasn't gotten a fair chance to show how he would perform in a midfield that was working properly. He's surrounded by a mess. Not gonna blame him for not creating when he's got no space. 2. Under the circumstances he's been playing, I...

    Cdr | Round of 32: Hercules - FC Barcelona 1-1

    Playing worse than the B team did here earlier this season and there are still people who believe in Lucho's system.

    Luis Enrique

    What do you guys think about Maurizio Sarri? Not that familiar with how Napoli are playing but hearing his name mentioned as a potential candidate for next season.

    Liga | Round 11: Sevilla FC - FC Barcelona 1-2

    Definitely a tough one since we haven't produced more than 5 good chances organically in the past three games. Relying on opponents mistakes and counter attacks against Sampaoli isn't exactly ideal. Not counting on Messi to bail us out either. Don't care about his statistics redeeming his...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    That's some 2013/14 level of motivation.

    CL | Round 3: FC Barcelona - Manchester City 4-0

    Would have never guessed that Messi was in that high. Maybe back in his more muscular days, but are we sure that it's correct? Seems kind of suspicious that all of the top 8 are huge stars.

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    Why is still being played at the wing? He offers no threat there other than one or two good crosses a game. He has completed 1 succesful dribble in 5 appearances. Every time he gets the ball he picks up a bit of pace, does a few stepovers and then turns and passes it back. Surely RM could...

    CL | Round 3: FC Barcelona - Manchester City 4-0

    Hoping Messi will rekindle his love for dribbling against Premier League opponents as he was definitely reluctant to try anything on his own against Arsenal. Glad Busquets was looking better yesterday. He is going to be key in regaining the stability and control we are lacking.

    Arda Turan

    In my eyes, he looked way too agressive when he first started playing. Mata? Come on. He would add nothing. Go for Isco instead.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Anyone else reckon he looks very physically fit? Mugged of Milner and looks quick on his feet. Hope that Copa final left him as hungry as the world cup did.

    Sergi Roberto

    Actually disagree quite strongly with the consensus on here that he doesn't take responsibility when on the ball. I think he's evolved greatly in that area. He's a pretty good dribbler and has had a pretty big offensive impact relative to how little he's played and without any consistency in his...

    Kévin Gameiro

    You'd make a great talent scout.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Because everybody's pressure game was so much better last year. For a perfectly functioning team like we had last spring, he was did his part to perfection. Now when we've got holes all over our half and disorganized pressure his jogging has very little merit. It never stresses the opponent to...

    Ivan Rakitić

    It's not that he's too slow, he's just too static. I think we look much better with Sergi Roberto, honestly. Much more dynamic. Rakitic strengths aren't even his strengths at the moment. He was never good enough, but his redeeming qualities have faded for the moment. Distribution is slow and...

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    Acts like a cunt but shows more heart than Messi on the day to day. I think his form drop is exaggerated.

    UEFA Champions League 2015/16

    The most annoying thing is that Bayern would have slapped the shit out of Real. With Atleti it's going to be a tight affair no matter what and possibly going to be decided by luck.
