    Spanish Super Cup 1/2 Final: Real Sociedad - FC Barcelona 1-1 (2-3 pen.)

    No bite to the attack. Dembele, despite his speed, plays more like a playmaker than a winger. Braithwaite and Griezmann don't scare any defences.

    Basketball/NBA

    Brooklyn Nets with a huge move to get Harden. Only downside in the short term for the Nets is that they also traded away Jarrett Allen. A good young Center who can protect the paint and rebound. Thats a weakness they'll have to try and address, especially if they end up in the NBA Finals...

    Erling Haaland

    I predict the USA will overtake Canada as the #1 ice hockey nation in a 2-3 decades.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Not a good game, but atleast the floor on his bad games has risen. Not as frustrating as he was a couple of seasons ago.

    Mavericky Puig

    With Coutinho out, Puig should atleast be given the opportunity to be Pedri's backup and sub in for him.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Nice to have a CB that can be a physical monster instead of all the soyboys the team has had over the past few years.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Did a lot of good things today. Hope he stays injury free. He changes the entire dimensions of Barca's attack.

    Antoine Griezmann

    Got an assist which is probably solid for his confidence. Also got to give him credit for coming all the way back to Barca's box to help out with defence in the 2nd half. Has a good work ethic and defensive awareness.

    Antoine Griezmann

    Henrik Larsson needs to teach him how to play as a striker. With some commitment and buy-in, He'd surely be better than Braithwaite at that role.

    Sergio Busquets

    Too much of a slow poke. I think his distribution does get underrated and that's probably the reason why countless managers still continue to put him in the starting XI, but he brings too many other negatives at this point in his career.

    Martin Braithwaite

    Well he is the only striker on the team. Only positive I can say is that he occupied the defenders to allow De Jong to get in behind on his goal.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Created chances, got in dangerous positions, defended well, and made runs. Overall great game for him. But his finishing is disappointing. Either shoots weakly slstraight at the keeper, or tries to get cute and allows the opposition to take away his space.

    La Liga | Round 17: Huesca - FC Barcelona 0-1

    Tough to take too much from the 1st half. Huesca have been hopeless. Messi should make more use of Dest on the right side. Left has been crowded.

    Antoine Griezmann

    Imagine thinking that its Messi's fault for Griezmann's terrible form during his entire Barca tenure.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    The team's attack looked so much better once he came on. Only criticism I would have of him is that he occasionally has sloppy touches on the ball. Mishandling a clean pass, misplacing a pass, or a weak shot at the keeper. Still a great half.

    Junior Firpo

    Bad game again. Plus some of his turnovers are just due to bad vision. Held onto the ball when there are some obvious passes he should make.

    Philippe Coutinho

    Hope a team like Arsenal can be baited into taking Coutinho off the team's hands. Don't see a long term future for him here. Cannot play in the midfield, and is not suited to being a winger. Bad fit. The board went from chasing Verratti to improve the midfield to going after Coutinho in 2017...

    La Liga | Round 15: Valladolid - FC Barcelona 0-3

    Yeah, I do like that that the Araujo and Mingueza are more aggressive. Pique and Lenglet are often retreating cuz they can't keep up with faster players.

    Sergiño Dest

    Just the fact that he is proactive in the final third is a breath of fresh air. Cannot believe I continued to give Semedo the benefit of the doubt during his time here. Was totally braindead in attack.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    But all the star players that the board did buy were all of a certain profile and has physical limitations. Coutinho, Griezmann, Gomes, Alcacer, Turan, and now Pjanic. I'll excuse the board for Dembele, because personally I probably would've also ended up splashing the money on him if I had...
