    WC Qualifiers 2018 - South America

    Di Maria has not played well at all, and those "assists" don't change a damn thing about that. He's shocking and 95% of the time has no clue what to do with the ball and makes the exactly wrong decision.

    WC Qualifiers 2018 - South America

    They just keep giving the ball straight to Ecuador. Messi and 10 straight up amateurs out there, even Masche playing like total crap.

    WC Qualifiers 2018 - South America

    Ecuador been outplaying Argentina since the 2nd goal, ridiculous setup Sampaoli has going. Never seen anyone prove themselves to be a fraud so clearly as Sampaoli has for Argentina.

    CL | Round 2: Sporting CP - FC Barcelona 0-1

    A good league start has deluded some into believing we're still the same caliber team as before. Many don't understand just how bad our squad truly is. The punishment we will face come February-April will not be pretty and I'm not looking forward to it. The price to pay for a shambolic transfer...

    Qatar FC

    You should not be surprised. This was very clearly coming, tho maybe not as much as the scoreline suggests. PSG are and clearly have been the better team since the start of the season and have much better players especially considering Bayern's injuries. Not only are they the better team, but a...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    I don't think Messi has declined as an individual (tho these past 2 games he has been poor individually). It's the system he's being placed in that's totally figured out tactically, as well as the complete lack of a capable supporting cast that will put us down. Yes things can change but do...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Ronaldo's real legacy was made after he turned 30, his wasn't all that impressive prior to then. With Barca's position now and Argentina barely qualifying if they even manage to, Messi's post 30 legacy is already probably dead with minimal silverware on the horizon. Terrible way to close out...

    Kylian Muppet

    He's beyond that. He's a top 10 player and top 5 attacking player in Europe right now as a frigging 18 year old. Can't believe people here have been laughing at PSG like they're the same 6-1 club after getting Mbappe and Neymar. Smacking Bayern 3-0 should show them some perspective and shut...

    CL | Round 2: Sporting CP - FC Barcelona 0-1

    If you think that's all this is, then you clearly lack observation skills.

    Josep Maria Bartomeu

    The team does not look in good shape at all and IMO we're looking at another CL QF exit. Farto got his lucky win streak in the early stages with RM's stumble and managed to escape the scrutiny of his HORRENDOUS performance in the summer window. He'll stay indefinitely until 2021 and this team...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Said it in the Messi thread, but the writing on the wall is VERY clear with this false 9 system. I see 2012 problems hitting us bad very soon against big teams and in the key CL stages. We are overly dependent on Messi with an arguably even worse supporting cast than we did in 2012 and if he's...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Terrible game, but the bigger problem is that I'm getting major flashbacks to 2012-2014 problems with Messi false 9. When he is lazy and doesn't drop back deeper, he gets completely isolated and doesn't see any of the ball. It's like he's having a Ronaldo poacher game except our team is nowhere...

    Samuel Umtiti

    I could easily see Umtiti getting the armband at some point. He's a very calming presence at the back, shows a great attitude that seems to rub off on others, and generally seems like a great influence. Aleña is a potential captain too, and has captained many sides throughout the youth levels...

    Harry Kane

    He doesn't look all that great in terms of the eye test, but he just keeps scoring. No particularly great ball skills other than finishing, but he is intelligent and makes good decisions. Think he's on track to be Spurs all time EPL scorer this year, and he'll probably be their all time...

    6 - Carles Alena

    Aleña was a big talent even in the early days but it's true that he really bloomed around the Juvenil levels. Over the past year he's been proving that he's fully capable of performing at every level, Segunda and 1st division included. His growth has only been accelerating and he's still not...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Liverpool still couldn't beat Sevilla at home now even after they lost Sampaoli and key players. Tottenham are probably a bit better than Sevilla, but I don't think Liverpool are and they look very vulnerable in the league and are more prone to poor runs of form and losing to shite teams. This...

    André Gomes

    I would actually not be surprised whatsoever if the likes of Vitinho and Ruiz de la Galarreta did better than Gomes if they were promoted and given a run of games to acclimate. Keep in mind that I'm not even talking about Aleña, as I'm already 100% sure he is a better footballer than Gomes at...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    EPL clubs love to over-estimate themselves. If I had to rank the best teams from both leagues it'd go like this: 1. RM 2. Barca 3. City 4. Atletico 5. United/Chelsea 6. Chelsea/United 7. Sevilla/Tottenham 8. Tottenham/Sevilla 9. Liverpool 10. Arsenal/Valencia EPL teams always seem so glorious...

    André Gomes

    He might as well leave. Even when he plays he basically offers no positive impact at all, might as well sit in the stands with Arda. Paulinho and Denis are proving what a good squad player looks like and how they can make an impact. Gomes is just not talented enough in any aspect, I doubt he'd...
