    Arthur

    I thought he was OK, not great. We havn't seen his best post injury. It would be stupid to use him 90 minutes given he has already had two muscle injuries this year and this is a long/intense season for a player used to Brasileiro. This is not complicated people, he has been used right of...

    Jordi Alba

    I think he blocked an important shot or two, i wouldn't say overall he was that good. I agree. This man needs some matches off.

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Yes it a very tainted view. 1st half Messi, Suarez and Coutinho created chances, worked together, a generated the goal (Coutinho was there for Suarez's header) and nearly two (great save from De Gea off the best shot of the match). He also protected the ball well. I think we should have put...

    Malcom

    I didn't not understand not using him or Dembele at the 65 minute mark. Poor decision when United more and more pushed us to wings. Coutinho IMO was the right move the 1st half however, he has been linking up well with Suarez and doing much better keeping possession. Would have had a goal if...

    Sergio Busquets

    Sergio has had many bad moments in matches over the last 6 weeks or so, his play has deteriorated--I think fatigue and age is working on him. However he does sprinkle in genius thus hard to sit him for a meaningful match. Please no more than one match every 6 days from here on out. Any league...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    At he most a cameo for Dembele this weekend, if we are going to risk him it should be a meaningful match. I think maybe use him next week if we might need him, otherwise all goals should be getting him on form for the semis and the CDR final.

    Sergi Roberto

    Agreed! How many other guys are quality backups for 4 positions. For one wage we gain a lot quality on the bench--far more valuable to Barca than he would be to anyone else.

    Luis Suárez

    He has been linking up with Messi and Coutinho both well. Dembele does open up another dimension though. Coutinho would have had a goal and Suarez an assist if not for Shaw selfishly wanting to get in the boxscore.

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

    For most of the season they have been like this. Great defense and nicking a result. Very different feel and play than last year where they would run you off the park frequently but also be prone to the defensive/goal keeping blunder.

    BF's Flop of the Match - 2018/19

    Lenglet Many bad touches and pretty much gave United their best chance by pulling an Umtiti (CB getting a little too cocky in his abilities and taking low upside high downside risks)

    Can't really single anyone out for a great match other than Pique

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

    The only team with the style and players to run us off the park is City on their day and sloppy day from us. Liverpool & Barca are conceding the fewest among the big leagues, and Pool doesn't press all that much anymore, but they defend great. Assuming the next match-up (very likely in the...

    Leroy Sané

    I dont believe for a 2nd Pep personally values the league over the CL. He just approached yesterday conservative and it could well bite him. If they lose to spurs in cl Pep is going to start hurting his legacy, CL choker getting ever more cemented. The already had a historical epl winning...

    Antoine Griezmann

    I can't say AG is that much alike anyone on barca or anyone else. A bit unique--one of the worlds 10 best players though IMO. In terms of on the pitch play, maybe wesley snieder meets pedro (best qualities of both).

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

    I do want to bury these guys though. They have some talent, but they also have some big exploitable weaknesses. Don't want them to start to get any belief. I think if we are energetic and clinical it will be no contest. But failing in one of those (e.g., opening Lyon match)--we could get some...

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

    As of yet EV has only lost one match in the CL correct? Others failures this decade have to be pinned to Pep, Enrique, other dudes, etc. Well we did run roughshot on a full strength Spurs squad in London in the fall. This is the team that just beat the annoited ones. The footballing community...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Lucky for us he is not our coach:D :D :D (no offense zidane but you def have your favorites and a big dog house--ok for a fan but not what I want in a manger of men)

    Harry Kane

    Kane may be out for the season. Very sad. http://www.espn.com/soccer/uefa-champions-league/story/3821306/spurs-dealt-blow-as-harry-kane-limps-off-with-injury-vs-manchester-city On another note what a terrible (crappy, trolling level) report on the event. In fact Kane was late in the challenge...

    Leroy Sané

    Great manager who is a stubborn man, perhaps?

    Leroy Sané

    He is the reason Liverpool don't have a bigger lead and the EPL for now is in City's control. Pep blew it today starting Mahrez instead of him. But i don't think they would sell him to us anyway + IMO has less potential to fill in as a hybrid CF than Dembele does.
