André Gomes
I find it weird how people seem to act like there's a lot of room for interpretation here. We're talking about a guy with 0 goals and 0 assists this season when he's supposedly a "forward minded player", as well as that 1 key pass in 11 games figure that henias cited. He isn't a tempo setter...- DonAndres

André Gomes
He did well today but still not a very meaningful impact or role in the midfield. There's no output that he consistently produces whether it be creativity or good defense or tempo setting, it's just a random hodgepodge of actions that may or may not come off in random areas of the pitch. He...- DonAndres

10 - Lionel Messi - v5
Even on the day of Ronaldo's best performance by far in this Liga season with 2 goals and 1 assist, Messi still outshines him clearly. Head and shoulders above anyone else -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
I don't want to jinx it and I've knocked on wood for a minute straight. But we are currently on pace to be Invincibles with Messi being top scorer and assister in La Liga....... That would be yet another GOAT level accolade for his legacy, literally mythical. I am so privileged to watch this... -
Sergi Roberto
He certainly has the talent to start over Rakitic in MF, it's just that every game he's had there since 2015 he plays more like a RB in the midfield. Bombing forward and being direct as hell. He needs to be aware that if he's gonna play in midfield he needs to change the approach. As for his...- DonAndres

11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1
He's only been getting garbage minutes with limited opportunities to contribute while he's on. Can't expect him to be killing it every time in those circumstances. I want to see him starting games consistently soon. -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
Not his most consistent showing but I'll take 1 assist and 1 golazo FK and call it a day. Also his defensive effort was top notch throughout the entire 90 minutes. From the beginning to the end after 4-2 he was still dogging their CB's. -
André Gomes
Rakitic was actually not worse and had a much harder job to do. Gomes is just so superlatively horrid off the ball that most of the bad stuff he does goes unnoticed. There was a minute long sequence where Rakitic had to migrate all the way to LM/LAM to initiate and do buildup because Gomes was...- DonAndres

André Gomes
I said maybe 1 sentence about Gomes at Anoeta, the rest I made my argument about why I thought he wasn't as good as portrayed vs Celta. If he does well today he will have proved me wrong on that point but you can't act like there isn't a huge body of past play to judge Gomes off of...- DonAndres

André Gomes
Wouldn't expect you to back things up with evidence. Grand total of 2, 3 passes through any semblance of pressure? Backpasses galore. Roamed around without any real purpose to his play or plan to be useful in buildup, on a day where pretty much every other player was on fire. So few highlight...- DonAndres

André Gomes
Even if he didn't have any fuckups, he was plain as hell in that CDR game vs Celta. Simply executing basic passes and actions correctly isn't a good thing, he was one of the very least impactful players on the pitch while he was on during a game where almost everyone else was playing at their...- DonAndres

10 - Lionel Messi - v5
So it actually is before taxes? That makes it much more reasonable and aligned with his net salary + bonuses figures + image rights figures. My mistake was assuming it was post-tax, and not knowing that sports contracts work differently in Europe. In the States athletes contract figures must... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
I'm not home right now so not doing any real research, but how does that tie in to the reported 105m figure? IIRC Messi's contract was originally thought to be roughly 30m per year plus bonuses. If he's allegedly making "a minimum of 105m per season" then how did he 'only' funnel 7.5m of it... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
This accusation goes well beyond being a shady/greedy sportsman. This level of unreported income essentially being money laundered is historical for a single individual. More than the likes of Franklin Jurado, literally around Cartel levels. The scope and scale here just seems outright absurd. -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
I haven't dug into this much but IMO it just seems ridiculous and misaligned with all the facts we knew before it came out. We had the biggest wage bill in all of football, and now suddenly we have enough to pay Leo well over 2x the amount we publicly thought he made per year on top of... -

Jesus :lol: talk about triggered, but I guess that's perpetual with you. Wouldn't wanna get into this and keep you awake even longer though, if you even sleep at all. You can sign off on this one with the signature "Jamdav wins again" -

Non-stop arguing for several hours up to like what 5am in the morning? Desperate double replies, weak edits, unlimited ad-hominem fallacies, 0 counterpoints made. One of a kind Jam -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
What a weak and desperate straw-man you've been clinging to for months to deflect and steer away the discussion when your actual argument is blatant rubbish. Just deflecting from yet another stupid opinion which you've got a fair share of akin to "keeping Cesc and selling Thiago the 4th choice...
