    Yaya Toure

    He was absolutely fantastic tonight, this kind of performance in Yaya in top form - defensively unbreakable and offensively aggressive and creative. If he doesn't start against Inter then I will be absolutely baffled. Starting Yaya makes sense tactically and based on form as well. As I've...

    Ivica Olic

    I dunno, I can't get over how bad his control/touch is. He gives up the ball for 89 minutes then finds the back of the net in his 90th. I guess as long as he's scoring....

    Sergio Busquets

    The bold part is the real beauty of the partnership, because they both can play both roles well. Whenever those two play as DM/CM they very often switch back and forth between playing deep and slightly further up. They move the ball well between each other, and can change the focal point of...

    Sergio Busquets

    Well, I think my point still stands that Yaya is capable of far better through balls and long balls than Sergi. How many times has Sergi played no look through balls over the top that have lead to a goal? Yaya has done it multiple times. I agree with the rest of your post though, as I...

    Sergio Busquets

    Not entirely but its part of it. Sergi is a bit quicker to receive and redistribute than Yaya, but isn't any more accurate with short passes and is far less accurate with long passes. He is also much more prone to bonehead blind passes in our own half.

    Sergio Busquets

    How do you figure? If this was the case, why did Yaya take on Xavi's role while he was injured? Yaya is much more creative with his distribution and can do it better over distance.

    Sergio Busquets

    I'm one of those blindly fanatic Yaya fans, and even I think this is ridiculous. Sergi has good close control, quick (although not very creative) distribution, and presses the opposing midfield as well as anyone else on the team. The debate should never be over whether or not he has these...

    Yaya Toure

    I don't understand why Pep hasn't tried Busquets in Keita's position yet, as the box to box midfielder, opening up the DM spot for Yaya. Honestly the big man and Sergi work very, very well together, not to mention Yaya excels most at DM when he can play closely behind Xavi. It seems a...

    Daniel Alves

    Alves had a shocker yesterday and his crossing has been much more erratic than last season, but to undermine his accomplishments and contributions to our team is absurd. One of our worst players??? He links up with Messi better than most of our midfielders do, and defensively he's improved...

    Seydou Keita

    Totally disagree, when was the last time you saw Keita play any sort of creative pass whatsoever? Yaya is capable of fantastic long balls and through balls when he is free to move further up the pitch.

    Seydou Keita

    I honestly think that Busquets would be much better suited in Keita's role as the box to box midfielder. His workrate and aggression equals Keita but his passing and dribbling are far better. Tbh I've been completely unimpressed with Keita other than his first few games of the season, his...

    Pep Guardiola

    To be fair, I posted that while still raging pretty hard :lol: Pedro is an excellent finisher who lacks substantially in his off the ball movement and quick link up play, two aspects that are essential for our system. He's already gotten better in these aspects as the season progressed, but he...

    Sergio Busquets

    Sergi needs to play in Keita's position and let Yaya stabilize the midfield. When Sergi plays DM we are constantly defending with only 3 players because of his overly aggressive runs forward, and this is unacceptable against any team with a mildly competent attack.

    Pep Guardiola

    Can we finally agree that Pep is not infallible? His lineup choices and in-game decisions have been beyond questionable this season, and at times have been downright atrocious. Players like Keita, Maxwell, and Pedro are very weak in the build up play, so why the fuck does Pep field them as half...

    Franck Ribéry

    If Ronaldinho can pick up a woman, so can Franck.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v1

    Honestly I don't even think its a case of him not seeing the pass I think sometimes he just wants to take it himself. 99% of the time this is fine, but there have been multiple occasions in the last few games where Pedro and Bojan have been completely unmarked making runs into the box, and...

    Gabriel Milito

    I never saw any resemblance between Gabi and Diego, but with them standing side by side you can kind of see the relation.

    Yaya Toure

    Agreed, I also hate those lavender/orange ones that so many players are wearing now. The ones that Ibra and Pedro wear.
