    Lliga | Round 33: FC Barcelona - Valencia CF 1-2

    There are enough futbolistas in this squad that can make the difference, show character and step up when it is needed. Messi, Iniesta, even Neymar and Suarez. Let's hope we get our shit together, although I know it is near impossible...!

    Pep Guardiola

    I think he's one of the most capable managers out there and it's not just the hype. I hope Barca's board considers to bring him back after his ManCity tenure.

    UEFA Champions League 2015/16

    Last year Real drew Juve and they got out of the tournament. I dunno what has been written then but I guess we thought they had an easy draw as well. There's more luck in the CL than people imagine. And yes, Real Madrid has had a super lucky draw this season.

    UEFA Champions League 2015/16

    Bayern vs City in the final and City winning would be the ultimate disaster for Pep, haha imagine!

    Seems like another final for RM!

    Sergi Roberto

    It's one thing to play well when you come on the field from the bench, it is another thing to consistently deliver, that is to get the starting 11 spot! Alves gave us a lot, including last and this season. His Barca career will end soon. I also think Roberto should be used more often, his...

    CL quarters: Atletico - Barca (3-2 agg)

    The only alternative is to buy a player than can actually compete with these guys from time to time. Even then it is super tough because that guy would want to have much more time and would be pissed off after being benched all the time. Either it is a 30 years old super joker who has no problem...

    Ivan Rakitić

    If your boy Arda would have given this team as much as Rakitic gave, he would have more credit? Either you have something to tell and you base your comments on sound arguments or you want to troll and cause some trouble in the forum.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    So 3-4 matches and people doubt Messi? The world is cruel. Shit this guy won La Liga on his own under Vilanova when the team was out of breath and hunger after Pep's era. He stepped up countless times in the biggest of the biggest games. Last year's CL final, although not scoring, he created...

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    I think most of the criticism stems from his marketing persona rather than his performance. This guy is made to be a superstar just as Messi and others are. What probably doesn't fit in with culés is his marketing. He is more of a CR than a Messi! I think he had a great performance when Messi...

    CL quarters: Atletico - Barca (3-2 agg)

    No futbolista would wand to sit out a game. Everybody wants to play, it's what you are there for. That's why is not easy to bench either one of MSN. This is not just the case for Barca but almost for every team. A manager knows how fast the locker room atmosphere (mainly team spirit, dynamics in...

    Arda Turan

    I love the plan b mongers! THERE IS NO FUCKING PLAN B. PERIOD! Seriously, there is no fucking plan b, how many times should we say it? Nobody has a real plan b. Look at AM, they know how to play against big teams but they rather struggle against PSV because their plan a is to stop big teams with...

    Arda Turan

    Seriously, against our horror opponent where we haven't won for years? Arda was ready to play already in February, so we could have tried him then. I am not blaming Lucho or anybody else here. Things were looking perfect until the Clasico and maybe Lucho didn't have the best options (transfer...

    CL quarters: Atletico - Barca (3-2 agg)

    Your argument does not get stronger when you put the 7km in a ratio. Have you seen the movie where the cam focuses just on Zidane (his best years). 90min, most of them just a walking Zidane. Players that make a huge difference are not running like they are on Duracell batteries. They know when...

    Arda Turan

    People like to blame individual players. What they do not consider is that by lining up Iniesta and Arda at the same time, you almost loose the entire midfield because you have two attacking players plus MSN, none of them is a serious defender. Rakitic can play this hybrid role much better...

    Jordi Alba

    It makes me wonder how some ppl think this is a Football Manager video game. No offense intended, even in FM you can't renew your roster all the time. That said, we don't even have an alternative for Alves and we need one pretty soon. How do you think is this management going to manage to buy...

    CL quarters: Atletico - Barca (3-2 agg)

    I don't have Messi's running statistics, dunno what is average running is etc. But somebody posted he ran like 8km in last year's Bayern game, so it's just 1km more and such a difference? Again it is not distance, he can run in 10min like hell and create like 5 goal scoring chances and do...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Invisible, never wanted the ball, was mostly out of position, disappointing, like many others.

    CL quarters: Atletico - Barca (3-2 agg)

    To the running fanatics, the reason why Atletico had to run more was because we had so much ball posession, unfortunately never in the danger zone. It's a game between 2 teams you know? Atletico's plan played out perfectly, neither of MSN had enough space to create anything and they didn't...

    CL quarters: Atletico - Barca (3-2 agg)

    This happens if you don't have players to rotate. Nobody has the best answer to this, some coaches rotate too much, others too less. The only one that came to win the CL two times in a row was Pep, and then the fucking Volcano fucked our team up!
