    Lionel Messi - v7

    h_vzAYu81Ic Take a look at the photo Mister Seitan used for this video. Did Messi not pass to Ousmane because he didn't see him, or he did see him but he thought he would miss or was it because he was trying to set up Suarez no matter what? I swear it happened twice as well.

    Nicolas Pépé

    Juninho would be proud of those two golazos.

    James Rodriguez

    I see. I'd heard he refused playing for Colombia to stay, train and fight to be a starter for Real, but whenever I watch you guys he's on the bench.

    Ivan Rakitić

    The one thing we haven't tried yet is that 4-3-1-2 coaches used in the 90s. It's the very system Klopp's current Liverpool has morphed into. Messi would be in the Firmino role - only without his work rate but even more creativity, which in itself is an incredible thing to say. The problem...

    Ivan Rakitić

    The problem with playing a 4-4-2 with players like Vidal and Rakitic out wide as the LM/RM respectively is that they can't dribble past players to save their lives. That alone would leave our entire forward play caged. That's why Alex Ferguson played 4-4-2 with wingers and not midfielders for...

    James Rodriguez

    What happened to James. They said he'd won Zidane over again, and now he doesn't get a game any more?

    CL | Round 3: Slavia Prague - FC Barcelona 1-2

    In the second round, Dortmund beat Slavia Prague away, 0-2. Did anyone here watch it? I'm asking because Slavia dominated Inter away as well. It seems they're doing well but don't get the points their performances warrant.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Was I the only one who thought Busquets did OK in the first half? I agreed that he struggled after the break; but what do I know...

    Arthur

    I prefer both De Jong and Arthur as controllers as well. But Valverde said from the get go this season, 'the interiors/CMs will play further forward this season - and I expect them to get more goals and assists' when asked about Arthur stats away to Osasuna. We lose in control and ability to...

    Lautaro Martinez

    I meant Suarez of old. When he was still at Ajax, first season at Liverpool.

    Ivan Rakitić

    We were actually doing reasonably well last night, and were beginning to calm the game down up until Busquets and Arthur went off for Vidal and Rakitic. That's when the real chaos happened. From 60 per cent control to no control and despair. From 3 clear chances created to a near penalty and...

    Ernesto Valverde

    Yep: "De los diez futbolistas que más distancia recorrieron, cinco de los seis primeros son del Slavia. Solo De Jong, cuarto con 11.36 km, se coló entre Olayinka, quinto con 11.20 km, Coufal, tercero con 11.41 km, Soucek, segundo con 12.56 km, y Sevick, primero con 13.8 kilómetros. El Top 10...

    Ernesto Valverde

    I've heard there's a secret 60 mil clause. But who knows if it's true or not. Given how good he is, Napoli's unwillingness to sell, and the interested parties (us, City & Real) - he'll probably go for 100 mil.

    Ernesto Valverde

    I'm bringing up Ruiz because the guys on Chiringuito said last night Real Madrid will go full blown in for him in January before us and Manchester City pounce, and before Napoli gives him another contract, raising his release clause to astronomical levels. The time is now. Frenkie, Ruiz...

    Ernesto Valverde

    The subs were horrendous. Rakitic simply cannot get minutes anymore. He genuinely looks beyond depressed and out of sorts. Bar that one OK 45 min sub appearance against Bilbao on game-week 1, he's looked terrible every time. Now remember Alena hasn't got a game in 2 months... How's that...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Perez has quietly done quite well too. He's got good technique, pace to burn and is a literal tireless worker like Pedro once was for us. Dembele's speed is needed for sure - but we need better decision making from him. We also need work rate as Messi and now Suarez tend to not press much...

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    He's a proper leader. Definitely captain material.

    Arturo Vidal

    "Arturo Vidal: "Estoy triste por no jugar de titular" Vidal to a journalist in the mixed zone after the match: "I'm said because I'm not a starter" From Sport: https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/arturo-vidal-estoy-triste-por-jugar-titular-7698433 - Oof, if you're gonna say something...

    Antoine Griezmann

    He's working really hard off the ball. The problem is, typically when I see us going to that 4-4-2 shape it means we're getting bossed by the opponent. A 4-3-3 with a escape valve speedster like Dembele, or even better a hardworking one like Fati or even Perez gives us another option to pass...
