    Quique Setien

    I am going to be the devil advocate and say that playing more conservative football is our best hope in CL. Abandoning trying to build from the back or making our fullbacks so attacking was smart move, ugly but smart. With Busquets/Vidal and may be even Arthur/Dembele coming back I think he...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Started well, provided assist and nice shot and made it simple. Then after around 30 minutes or so but was downhill from there.

    Nelson Semedo

    We know who he is on offense already, and he is a player who doesn't seem capable of playing well at both ends. Games were he put good attacking performance he wasn't able to make a contribution on defense. Last night we played conservative, which I don't hate since we aren't good/great team...

    Sergi Roberto

    Yeah, that is my favorite midfield too.

    CL | 1/8 Final: FC Barcelona - SSC Napoli 4-2 (agg.)

    If we continue to play conservative we stand a chance. Messi as goal scorer is what we need, not a creator. Alba & Semedo being more defensive was good adjustment by him. They provide much help to defense and Napoli relied on crosses or plays from inside to create anything against us. Bayern &...

    Champions League

    RM main suffering wasn't because of City press, it was due to midfielders being statues and not providing outlets for defense. Who from RM midfield was moving in that video. Even Barca midfield provides that outlet, thouth they struggle to keep the ball they usually lose it from midfield...

    Kevin De Bruyne

    Yeah, other than under Mourinho he was consistently the best player (or one of the best) in his team.

    Raphael Varane

    Just watched first half of the game, while Varane first mistake in the goal was awful their midfield need to take some good chunk of the blame. No one was available for defenders to provide an outlet, and this has been trenda lot of times in the game. Not sure why Zidane insisted on it, but...

    Arthur

    Sarri out. Not sure it is a good news for Arthur, at all.

    Caglar Soyuncu

    I want him but I think there is zero chance he will ever move here.

    24 - Eric García

    He has more of an average height rather than being short. I don't think he is weak for 19 years old CB either. But he lacks any elite physical ability, no quickness/athletic ability like Ramos/Puyol/Mascherano/Marquez or height like Pique. I don't like rumored price, anything more than 15M is...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Messi being ranked best isn't awful tbh, top scorer and assist in top 2 league. But a look at their team if the year...

    Nelson Semedo

    Regardless of comparison to Semedo, Oleguer had very good season in 2006. Sadly for him, his worst game that year was in CL final and it is the only game people remember for him. PS: he said better defender in 2006

    He is joining Chelsea

    Ivan Rakitić

    I think one issue about his salary is length of his contract. A player like Rakitic might take a lesser salary with Seville if he is getting 3+ years on his new contract. If Seville want him for just couple of years that will be tough.

    Iker Casillas

    Never liked him as a person, but he has been a top notch GK for around a decade or so and surely an All time great. Buffon, Cech,Casillas and later Neuer were great generation of GK that were nice to watch competing.
