Andrés Iniesta
...Maybe Iniesta and Xavi aren't instructed to launch counters as quickly as possible, instead of being incapable? That would be a reasonable assumption. We've seen a few times that the style of play changes in a big way when Cesc is subbed on for one of Iniesta or Xavi at around 60-70 minutes...- Elite-BkD

10 - Lionel Messi - v2
His passing was quite off, no big deal. Other than that he was great. -
10 - Lionel Messi - v2
According to that site ( and I still would like to know how they come up with those numbers) Messi has 0.6 turnovers per game (Liga & CL combined) which is the same as Iniesta, and Messi is dispossessed 1.9 times per game, compared to 0.6 for Iniesta. Xavi is at 0.8 and 0.9 for those two stats... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v2
Yeah, I'd like to see some sources and criteria for this..doesn't look quite right although his bad giveaways I've taken issue with seem to have dropped off a good deal compared to the first few weeks of the season. -
Franck Ribéry
miles ahead of Messi in terms of pressing / defensive contributions, though plainly at a much lower level on the ball- Elite-BkD

Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Should be more like Ribery considered top 3 after Messi and Zlatan anyhow.- Elite-BkD

Pedro Rodriguez
Not good enough, he needs to go on runs that entail dribbling 3-5 players at least 10 times throughout the match, 3-4 of which must end in a goal or an assist, otherwise he's crap and needs to be sold so we can get a real forward.- Elite-BkD

Andrés Iniesta
He has been fantastic per usual, albeit a little less exciting and more pragmatic.- Elite-BkD

Cristiano Ronaldo - v1
Henry was definitely better and more talented for me. Until about two years ago Ronaldo was still a pretty bad choker, he is still hardly above average in that regard, and his overall play will never touch the level Henry was at. He definitely does not look like a special on any type of a... -
Cristiano Ronaldo - v1
Messi? o.O Won't bother listing more at the moment. -
Marc Bartra
All the same, playing him out wide could very reasonably be considered an upgrade to playing Alves there, who would also be facing Ronaldo and has regularly been extremely poor in terms of his defensive positioning and effort this season, which are two things we would not see from Puyol. I...- Elite-BkD

Marc Bartra
Yeah, I'm sure Puyol isn't sufficiently intelligent and experienced to face an attacker who has him beat on pace. It would surely catch him off guard and he'd look clueless. ...- Elite-BkD

Sergio Busquets
The real problem is that teams collectively make a conscious decision to go into matches with the intention of committing a plethora of dirty, potentially dangerous fouls because they know that on a footballing level they are outmatched and illegal, physical attacks on the opponents are an...- Elite-BkD

Best youngster (U-22) in the world?
Neymar & Alaba both have a clear edge over anyone else on the list for me. After that it's up for debate. -
Alexis Sanchez
Shots per game and passes per game are two pieces of data which take around twenty seconds for a person to read and absorb, with or without having ever spent so much as ten minutes watching this team play, so no, I wouldn't say it's very fair to read a whole lot of anything into those stats. At...- Elite-BkD

Champions League 2013/2014
Just another reminder, that 7-0 has absolutely nothing to do with this season. Messi was way below par and returning from an injury, Busquets was carrying an injury, Xavi was carrying an injury, and more importantly than any of that was the situation with Tito which we all know, and no... -
Andrés Iniesta
So..what do yall think was asked of him by the coach going into this match, and what do ya figure was wrong with his performance?- Elite-BkD
