Qatar FC
Do you seriously think that they're still the same team as they were before? Adding Mbappe, Neymar, and Alves completely changes the identity of their team. Not only their quality on paper but their direction of play, attacking style, ability to centralize around a legitimately generational...- DonAndres

Gerard Deulofeu
That's a stupid excuse and you know it, Whoscored rating system is practically arbitrary. Why not look at the actual stats and interpret them if you actually think you're in the right? To recap, the two arguments you've made so far are that his several failed dribbles and crosses and...- DonAndres

Paulinho
The thing that wins me over more than the goal is his humility afterwards in his post-match comments. Fights for the collective and to further the interests of the team, hopefully he ends up being a tier above the dead weight that we damned him to from the first minute.- DonAndres

Gerard Deulofeu
Comparing Messi's poor performances to Deulofeu's is absurd. Messi is out there playing with no good service to him, no support, and still manages to be the only player to do anything useful when he (and the team) plays bad. Those Supercup games, Messi was the only one who could conjure anything...- DonAndres

Using Whoscored for raw stats vs using Whoscored for ratings....... Jeez :lol: You can't seem to come up with anything remotely rational.- DonAndres

Gerard Deulofeu
So you too are giving credit to Deulofeu for fucking up a dribble that somehow led to the goal? He was good in the 1st liga game, bad in literally every single other one and both supercup legs. And no, you can't write the supercup games off as he produced those shitty performances of his own...- DonAndres

Gerard Deulofeu
He didn't produce it though. I could also say that if we didn't have a dumbass like Deulofeu constantly messing up on the RW and producing almost 0 successful attacking actions, we could have someone playing there who would've made plays like Roberto's smart cutback. Could've scored way earlier...- DonAndres

Gerard Deulofeu
Or maybe people actually expect an ounce of proof that a player played well, and won't accept it at face value just because you tell them to. You're saying it as a conclusion, and then calling us bitter for not accepting it. How about you tell me what Deulofeu did today that was so good? I'm...- DonAndres

Gerard Deulofeu
Why does Deulofeu deserve any credit for that goal whatsoever? All he did was fail, again. It was Roberto's good pass that set the goal up, and Denis's amazing finish that sealed it. Both of those actions were actually great and led to the goal, Deulofeu deserves no credit just for being present...- DonAndres

Gerard Deulofeu
Lol. I've known that Whoscored can be spotty in terms of recording everything that happens on the pitch, but of what they did record: Deulofeu had 1 successful dribble out of 6 attempts. I can remember at least 4 unsuccessful crosses explicitly. From what I recall he tried and failed more...- DonAndres

1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant
Not criticizing MATS, but that logic makes no sense. I'm pretty sure the entire job of a GK is to judge where the ball is going and stop it before it gets there. The laws of physics basically guarantee that, yes, you can judge a trajectory of a moving object. Today's goal was just too fast for... -
Nelson Semedo
But the way Vidal and Roberto got decimated by RM, with the former being targeted more than anyone I've ever seen for Barca, lends credence to the notion that we actually are Semedo-dependent already and that we struggle without him. We may not have won those games with Semedo but I'm 100% sure...- DonAndres

Nelson Semedo
Yah, I think we over-stepped to say that we went from empty to deep in the RB position. Semedo is a great starter, but both of our subs simply wouldn't cut it if we had to rely on them for any extended period of time. Our record with Semedo is 4 wins. Our record without him is 1 win and 2...- DonAndres

Paulinho
I'm surprised and happy as well. I think he should bench Rakitic for now and, if he can do that reliably and fit into a starting system then his transfer conclusively does have positive value even if it isn't the bottom line solution. Rakitic has been the common denominator in many of our...- DonAndres

Luis Suárez
He's playing at an atrocious level at the moment and seems to be deeply stuck in it, that is if its not a permanent decline. We really can't afford this problem on top of the other ones we have. It seems impossible to win trophies if the only player we have that can reliably decide big games and...- DonAndres

Paulinho
I'm happy with it too and understand that a majority are giving credit where it's rightfully due. But there are a number of scattered posts around of the "was right all along" flavor, as if this proves anything conclusively about the decision made to bring Paulinho or that the very premise for...- DonAndres

Paulinho
Another shit Rakitic performance, and a good one from Paulinho is convincing me again that he should get the chance as a starter over Raki against Eibar. He's different, let's see what that brings as this team simply can't keep going with more of the same. I think the reactions here are...- DonAndres

Funny of you to be so patronizing, as it seems it is you who are missing plenty of "small" and big details or any actual recollection of events whatsoever. Do you actually watch the game or just see what you want to see? Blatantly ignoring the quantity and consistency of Deulofeu's turnovers and...- DonAndres

Gerard Deulofeu
"great job". Mindless dribbling, crossing, and turnovers is a "great job". Literally every player had a bad game today except Paulinho and arguably Denis. He's just a bad footballer and when the chips are down against non-clown defenses, he won't make the right decision or be useful. He's been...- DonAndres
