    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Thing is he is the best passer in the world and has the best vision in the world, and you want him to be able to move to the middle of the pitch and have multiple passing options in front of him. I think the key for the future is more pace and work rate in the other forwards and the midfield...

    Adrien Rabiot

    Puig hasn't shown enough in big boy football to be penciled in a depth chart yet. Alena as 2nd/3rd choice, sure. It would be no problem to sell most of those players, with Rakitic actually getting a big fee. Vidal I think would be hard with his contract, but he can move to an all out sub role...

    Luis Suárez

    What is the timeframe of the stats (2019?, feb? couldn't tell). Those are ugly numbers.

    CL | 1/8 Finals: FC Barcelona - Lyon 5-1 agg.

    I am with you on this. Thinking have roberto start with vidal or alena coming in later depending on the situation, probably vidal though. I am some worried with vidal having to play 90 yesterday, but then so did bob.

    Lliga | Round 24: FC Barcelona - Valladolid 1-0

    Maybe we should chill. Atletico outplayed and lucky to win, real played like crap and lost, we played like crap but still far outshot our opponent and should have put in 3. Maybe all the big dogs have their mind on other things. Hopefully we can be more chill in league--pretty much ok with B...

    Kevin-Prince Boateng

    I personally like that model. But as you pointed out, that is not particularly American.

    Arturo Vidal

    So you think alena starts tuesday, not that i would mind? I expect EV to start vidal, rakitic and busi in midfield. If he plays semedo (which i think he will) bob is also an option in midfield. My hunch is the 3 most experienced midfielders though.

    Kevin-Prince Boateng

    Kyle Orton played for Purdue if I recall, and maybe the Bears? Quincy Carter (Georgia Bulldog) was I think a 1st pick (Jones family pick). Stoener I think another Jerry guy (Razerback) too. There was some hope for Aggie McGee. This isn't just a Cowboy thing, even worse are the Jets, Bills...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Stop mucking such a crappy and drammatic narrative;) You know, similar to how CR is so "clutch" like by carrying Portugal in the finals vs France, getting them passed Bayern and Liverpool last year, or led them to come from behind vs Atletico twice.

    Kevin-Prince Boateng

    Worthy or not, they ain't. Goes back to Roger the Dodger, Captain America. Jerry has at times almost made them lose it but not quite.

    Arturo Vidal

    I am a bit worried he can put in a full shift on Tuesday, wish he didn't have to play the 90 today.

    Kevin-Prince Boateng

    America's team, at least God Serena got that one right. The brain mashing type of football of course.

    Kevin-Prince Boateng

    The saying isn't my saying, it is a classic American football saying. Yeah you can highlight these 2, works out at best 1/5. I see you are not bringing up Stephen McGee, Casell, Weeden, Orten, Kellen Moore, Kitna, Steve, Pellur, , Kevin Sweeney, ultimate flop Quincy Carter, Anthoiny Wright...

    Pique Messi Vermaelen HM ex Barca Matip. He played great and just thought he deserved a mention, can't believe he reflex stopped that Messi volley.

    Luis Suárez

    I think the point below is more relevant than any kind of lack of motivation and mental hex unique to the CL. Too often our best football is November, December and January. Couple times we nearly got chased down in league as well after nice leads. Also some years Messi and Suarez had to have...

    Frenkie de Jong

    BBZ8800, I am just going to counter a couple of your points. One, while Pep and Klopp do have strong philosophies, they also are flexible. Pep is constantly evolving and tweaking, Liverpool this year for instance has rarely applied the gegenpress. Also they utilize veterans, just look at Silva...

    Sébastien Haller

    Yea I said in the Jovic thread I liked this frontline (fantastic for a club the standing of Frankfurt) and wondering why this fella hadn't got more traction (saw of his plays, watched a game, and looked at his rising stats). Most connector for the three front line players though scores goals...

    Kylian Muppet

    CR actually played poor more matches than not, and in the final almost not at all, when Portugal won Euros. In his peak Portugal didn't get out of the group stages, that include good ole USA in it. He has frequently not had a big stamp during games critical to his teams success--which they got...

    Frenkie de Jong

    Proof, when posters go to the trouble to provide the closest thing we get to proof (in sports, opinion and player performance) it is flippantly disregarded. So you expect him (or her) to do a poll, or trace every poster to see if the used words very close to those above. What if the poster...
