    Mohamed Salah

    I am not sure I have ever seen Neymar have a streak as good as Salah was last year, particularly against that kind of comp. He did set an EPL record and tore up Europe. I have seen both quite a bit. No I don't think it is that obvious that Neymar is of a different class when they are both on...

    Arthur

    I would say loud minority, certainly not consensus. FYI I had picked up the irony and was aware of main message. Like I said Arthur is in great company, as BBZ analysis showed--there was none of "Arthur sucks" position to agree to in the 1st place. Like it is a problem here to say none of...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    He has rarely been the worst man on the pitch, though he did have a really bad 1st half of season this year. Sandwiched between a great 1st half season and very solid spring so far. I like Dembele and think he should start when he his healthy for the dimension he adds, but it isn't like he has...

    BF's Flop of the Match - 2018/19

    I think you might have been referring to match in September of 2018, this is for April 16, 2019--Champions League quarterfinals return leg vs Manchester United.

    Luis Suárez

    Only trailing Messi in League goals (20) and added 6 assists (tied for 8th in league). Sure like to have more "finished" players like this. I do want to have a legitimate #9 alternative however, the mans minutes need to be reduced for 1/3 for him and the club moving forward.

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Do we know if that was Barca fans or visiting fans--I have not seen an angle to judge? Given he was a Liverpool player I am sure the visitors were "vocal". Though he is on high wages, a tad over for Dembele as 3rd on the team, most of the expenditure is in the past. Rather be forward focused...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    He had 8 goals 5 assists in 18 La Liga matches and 2 & 1 in 4 CDR matches, very good numbers across 22 matches. He was the 2nd best player for Barca last spring and Barca is yet to lose a competition that he has been eligible to play--the only player with over a season on Barca we can say that...

    Arthur

    BBZ just showed he performed a tad better than Sergio Busquets and only a tad behind Ivan Rakitic. Only in Barcaforum would a young midfielder already being rated in these two company (after demolishing United 4-nil in a tie) be considered "suck"ing.

    Cr150

    No, I think his BdO campaign is over, European nations exhibition or what not is at the level of International Champions Cup for club teams. I think the only way Messi doesn't win it is Liverpool double or Man City quad, and then VVD, Salah or Sterling clearly is the difference maker from here...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    I see it as you do. And no I don't think Umtiti has ever been the best CB for his team (club, France) despite being an outstanding player. Given the knee issue, I'd like to see De Ligt in with Umtiti out covering like 2/3 of the cost. I'd move forward with these 2 and Pique bridging until the...

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    I have been saying the only reason we should have interest is to make United pay more so they are off are real targets. What we have seen from him is what he is, excellent athlete and some skills but very non-clinical. Disappoints more than impresses--Sterling is far more impactful even though...

    Arthur

    This is true. Part of it is because he is the new guy (also see Semedo, Malcom) and part of it is because he does remind them of when Barca played the best football ever played. Despite the sun shining from the young mans hind region to many, still he has been the signing of the year. A very...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    He was only trash from post world cup through January. He has been a good contributor since than while we put a stranglehold on the league, CDR, utterly smashed Real's whole year, and now are in the CL semis with Dembele hardly playing because of his fitness problems. He also played great last...

    Clément Lenglet

    If we can get an excellent price for Umtiti I am fully supportive of getting De Ligt and moving forward with Lenglet and him long term. (and ask Pique to play another 2 years and by that time we will know if Todibo or another is our quality 3rd CB moving forward)

    Nelson Semedo

    Um no, Roberto is better in link up play. Underoath is right, use them both, 90% of CL clubs would be happy with one of them, 99% clubs would trade their right back situation for ours in a heartbeat.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    No, Coutinho has been good for a while for those with open eyes. Still Dembele opens things up for Barca no-one else can do. Barca is better with both playing well. You have 3 subs for a reason and it is smart to use them. If anyone was off today it was Suarez, he should be doing more Liga...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Exactly. Nobody is saying it was good business but he is a contributor to a treble chasing team. Further, are we better because we largely turned Neymar into Coutinho and Dembele, yes. The Coutinho-exiteers should be thrilled, he may have just tacked on 20 mil more on his transfer fee today...

    Luis Suárez

    Suarez was really sloppy today. He was good last week and created our goal--should have had an assist or goal but the scoreboard guy stole it. Get him some rest and ready to go all vs his old club.

    Sergi Roberto

    Nah all these keyboard warriors would have roofed it. He just got unlucky, he could try that 100 times turning it on the face of the goal and only purposely hit De Gea like 5 times.
