    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    I think he subbed him off correctly, mostly because Coutinho has never been a go at it 90 minutes player (true at Liverpool and Brazil) and you don't want to risk injury on tired legs, and 2nd so he gets a hand from the fans. I am curious though if his gesture was toward United fans jeering him...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Some people have things set in their mind and then conform what they see to fit. Yes he was very good on all points as you mention, our 2nd most creative force on the night.

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Coutinho had an excellent match, and not just because of the wonder strike. He has been working excellent with Suarez and Messi for many months now for those who care to see that he is much different than he was in the fall. I really like what Dembele brings to table and think we are better...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Yes but primeira league has no comparison to the bundesliga, might as well be liga MX quality once you get by the two lisbon clubs and porto.

    Luka Jović

    I can tell you id much rather go for jovic than rashford, the latter has never shown the scoring ability jovic has this year. Jovic is fast and mobile and interchanges, not your typical solo target man and in the box scrapper i think of a poacher at all.

    Luka Jović

    Yeah I don't think hold up play is his strength, but he is a quick and powerful forward, with good shooting touch too. Reminds me of a less polished/refined Suarez (in how he moves along physical attributes and balance/center of gravity) and that is not what would describe as a static poacher or...

    Luka Jović

    Yes. Or look at dembele after one year in bundesliga. I have been impressed the more insee of him, if our scouts think he is the best fit among young strikers not mbappe than 75 mil range is fine. Get the right player and not stress about a 15 mil premium.

    Mohamed Salah

    Not saying he is more talented than neymar but salah has been better than him the last 2 years. Had neymar been healthy maybe not, but he hasnt. They are both great attacking players, not many, if any, clearly better right now except messi.

    Matthijs de Ligt

    I thought de ligt specificialy said he did not want to entertain other possibilities until after the season was over, stay focused on ajax than decide on his future in the summer.

    Harry Kane

    This is a different time of the season, i think they will miss him as the replacements will get fatigued. Their next two matches at City will be telling.

    Lliga | Round 32: Huesca - FC Barcelona 0-0

    Travelling and havn't watched it either. But mission #1 was rest for all regulars. That seems all accomplished but except for Vidal and Malcom. But hopefully Vidal is good for a good 30 minute shift vs United, don't see Malcom playing with Dembele back. Demeble got a chance of rust off, training...

    Arthur

    Just my opinion but no he doesn't need a kick in the pants, more an affirmation of his quality and support. He has had two overuse related injuries, and he is a smart and committed player to the team I think. Just make sure he gets the right balance of playing time, rest and keep feeding his...

    Arthur

    I think it is no accident. Vidal is ideal when we need an energy spark and the will of the opponent is barely hanging on. He is a great player to give you all out effort for 35 minutes. Meanwhile I think Arthur's best use is the first 65 when we want a but more control, limit mistakes, and have...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Just to put another spin on it, how is our defensive record in cup matches and league. I'll answer that, been one of the best two in the world this year. I do think slowness is an issue in the squad, particularly w/o Dembele and transitioning from defense to offense with numbers forward, but it...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    He wasn't usually a 90 minute player at Liverpool either, so we should have known that. Things is he has been playing pretty well of late--fairly consistent in his improvement with taking much better care of the ball and cutting out the high risk moves where their is little to be gained even if...

    CL 1/4 Final: FC Barcelona - Manchester United 4-0 agg.

    Well their defense is much better this year, probably best in the world--from their defensive mids to backline to goalie. (I think Barca is probably #2). They have not been as explosive offensively and have have certainly not pressed as much. I would put Barca a slight favorite, maybe 55 or 60...

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    Yes, spot on.

    Luis Suárez

    Yes Shaw robbed us of a goal and an assist. But I think it would have been Coutinho's goal and Suarez's assist had Shaw not been so greedy to get his name in the papers.

    Gerard Piqué

    Yes for today. In fact if it wasn't for Messi he not only would be LFP best defender this year but also LFP BEST PLAYER.

    Nelson Semedo

    Good game by Semedo, and very good development for the team. EV gave him another chance in a high pressure match and made the strongest case yet he can be the big game starting RB.
