11 - Neymar Jr. - v4
Neymar drawing fouls left and right.. Like 3-4 in the past 2 mins :lol: Colombia getting frustrated and he's really capitalizing on it and baiting them. 2 more fouls on him now again :lol: the last one looked soft though -
Samuel Umtiti
Confident and smooth on the ball. I think people underestimate how hard it'll be to break the Pique-Masch partnership though. Those two have proven and achieved so much over the years together and Masche is so important to Lucho as a leader that actually taking his spot in the pecking order will...- DonAndres

Luis Enrique
I really like our bench this year compared to last. Umtiti, Digne, Denis, Vidal, and an improved Munir; all together they can play a pretty decisive role in keeping the squad fresh and the momentum going deep into the season.- DonAndres

André Gomes
Some touches/passes were off and he always looked to his nearest player. He seems pretty balanced on the ball but we'll have to see if he has the technique to be a Barca player. Hopefully he'll learn the way Rakitic did. I didn't like his energy or defensive workrate though, not much running off...- DonAndres

Arda Turan
His performance on the left wing mirrored a lot of what he did at Atleti: using close technique and balance to shimmy out of tight situations near the touchline. He's still never shown much vision or mobility in midfield, not nearly enough to help coordinate our play. Even on the wing he's not...- DonAndres

Arda - sell or keep?
I compare keeping Arda for another season to our dilemma of giving Tata another season after 13/14. Sure he hasn't had that much time, but some things are just so clearly wrong that there's no point extending it. I don't think Arda can offer anything to our midfield that we don't have in better... -
3 Finalists for UEFA Best Player award: Griezmann , Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale
As Flavia said I meant the Euros. He got to the finals of both tournaments and was the star of one of them. His inclusion was reasonably fair I'd reckon.- DonAndres

3 Finalists for UEFA Best Player award: Griezmann , Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale
Bale was your best player in the CL final and did pretty well for Wales in the Euros. Still merits nothing above Suarez or Messi. Griezmann got to the CL final and was top scorer/player of the tournament so he's earned his spot. I've never seen anyone who has the sheer luck that Ronaldo has had...- DonAndres

6 - Carles Alena
Aleña was always one of the talented youngsters but he wasn't the biggest standout of his generation back then. Lee was obviously the biggest and most hyped star and Ayoub was pushed up to advanced youth categories beyond his years because of the belief that the technical team had in him. He was...- DonAndres

Aleix Vidal
With proper support I think we can survive with him at right back for a lot of league matches. Pique is great at organizing his area, Busquets/Raki help out in defense quite a bit. Roberto does deserve to be higher than him in the pecking order as we know he's better at the back. I think Vidal...- DonAndres

Denis Suarez
People had doubts about his ability to fit into a Barca midfield position but he showed himself very capable today. He runs a lot off the ball and never once showed hesitance to do his defensive duties. His passing was very good and he doesn't fear passing between lines the way Arda and Rafinha...- DonAndres

6 - Carles Alena
His playing style is truly of the same DNA as Xavi and Iniesta. I love how this distinct form of central midfielder is almost exclusively Barca developed. Xavi, Iniesta, Thiago, and now Aleña. Even Kaptoum shows it. The way they receive a pass and open up in a single motion, the way they turn...- DonAndres

10 - Lionel Messi - v4
Can't agree with you there. In 14/15 he was dropping players 1v1 like flies, no matter what team. That sort of emasculation, especially when he could do it without even breaking out of a jog, just made him seem like such a boss. Messi has always been a master of 1-vs-all dribbles where an entire... -
Sergi Roberto
I genuinely think he can now compete with Rakitic for a starting position in the Gala XI. He's so in touch with how we play and brings so much to the game in central midfield. With his newfound playmaking and ability to create dynamic situations there really aren't any significant weaknesses I...- DonAndres

Arda Turan
If I'm being honest I'll say that I better understand the flaws he was sometimes accused of having at Atletico. His small passing range and action radius means that he often can go missing from a game in terms of personal impact. It's like every time he gets the ball he holds himself to a very...- DonAndres

10 - Lionel Messi - v4
People are being a bit too critical IMO. I'd say he had a very good game. His dribbles weren't usual GOAT but even then he had some nice ones like his meg on Koscielny, a few mazy turns when marked heavily in midfield, and when he fended off Ramsey to charge forward and set up Neymar/Suarez. He...
