    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    He's ordinary at finishing easy chances. Same with lower pressure situations. I think he may well score just about as many brilliant equalizers or go-ahead goals as he does easy finishes and tap ins. It's a very very unusual and perfectly acceptable weakness to his game, that he's so much less...

    Sounds a lot like LOTR - when Gandalf dies?

    Andrés Iniesta

    He's not even out of form, just does less of the flashy stuff going forward these days, which makes perfect sense considering Cesc's progress as well as the arrival of Neymar. Still the best midfielder on the planet this season.

    Borussia Dortmund

    No way, it should be a good match, Napoli are far from the pushover that Hamburg is..

    Penal Madrid

    Busquets and Xavi were both playing injured, and the whole team was shit. The shit form of last season had nothing to do with any inherent weaknesses in any of our players, it's silly to bring that up.

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    ^Busquets still kinda sucks without Xavi though, so maybe either bench Cesc/Iniesta to come on as a sub, or better yet bench Alves and put Puyol on RB duty, especially if Alves is still playing like a lazy git.

    Sergio Busquets

    Yeah.. Alves sorta jogged back lazily on that one until he decided he'd rather just chill in the midfield zone and watch. Busquets was also godawful for that play, him and Pique both seemed to assume the guy was going for goal instead of cutting inside to put a pass across the box.

    Cesc Fàbregas

    A few points I'd like to make: Firstly, regarding the comparison between Cesc and Iniesta in this particular match: I'd consider it an enormous stretch to state that Cesc created the chance which provided the 2-0 goal, that had nothing to do with Cesc's creativity and if he'd done anything...

    Cesc Fàbregas

    Point was his contributions have been blown out proportion since he found his form. There's nothing factual about that claim..none of Mascherano, Busquets, Messi, Iniesta, Xavi and VV have been playing below Cesc's level this season. Our fullbacks and wingers have been either shit or...

    Daniel Alves

    I don't know if he was lacking fitness and sharpness against Sevilla or what, but he had some pathetic turnovers and was lazy as shit to cover on numerous occasions, including the Rakitic goal.

    Cesc Fàbregas

    Fabregas is fine, but he's not by any stretch the extraordinary saviour of Barca that he's being made out to be now that he's actually playing well. This latest game for example, it was an end to end shoot when he came in, we were able to match the two goals they scored in that period because...

    Spain

    Pretty much accurate, Cesc good, Xavi was below par. Pedro had a shit start and gradually improved throughout first half.

    Pedro Rodriguez

    I don't think many people have a problem respecting a sentiment expressed in that kind of matter. With that said, this thread has more or less been hijacked by a seemingly never ending stream of redundant, asinine, extremely thoughtless posts which make no attempt what-so-ever at providing...

    Pedro Rodriguez

    Same old tired nonsense, though thankfully it appears that the perfectly capable coaching staff (including under Pep, Tito, and Martino) happen to disagree with you guys.

    Mesut Ozil

    Quite possibly, if I'm interpreting your question correctly it's an area they are very close in, and you can't write off Schweinsteiger just because he plays deeper. On top of that, Schweinsteiger is much more consistent and is sensational in a much broader range of abilities than Ozil.

    Pep Guardiola

    It's difficult to answer all this and explain what Pep is thinking, largely because of the following reasons: A) The midfield trio has been changed (in terms of personnel) quite a bit B) Not all of the players are healthy, namely Javi Martinez who is really their only 'pure dm' at the moment...

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Our pressing was a joke last season and we didn't play or defend well as a team when it mattered, Puyol struggled with injury problems and Abidal was essentially a complete non-factor. I'm not thrilled with the first team defenders available for the year (considering we should be challenging for...
