Mario Gotze
It seems pretty clear that Götze has hit a plateau in comparison to the development of Hazard/Neymar/Isco/etc. but the reason why is rather dumb. He's had great technique and intelligence as a player for a long time, now with Bayern he's improved his goalscoring threat as well. You'd think he...- DonAndres

Which RB would you want FC Barcelona to sign?
Bellerin for me seems the best option. I'm most familiar with him, he's spent years at Barca learning how to play in our type of system (even if we don't play the way we did under Pep). He's very talented, knows how to link up, and has some wicked speed. His youth makes him very malleable as... -
Xavi Hernández
Idk how people think he played poorly here. He kept the play moving swiftly with his touches and didn't slow down the rhythm (became more comfortable as the game went on). He actually had plenty of slick moments and helped to facilitate the attack. He's not what he once was of course but he's...- DonAndres

10 - Lionel Messi - v3
messi2140 eliminate his sin. That vid of Messi's defensive skills is actually very telling. I've noticed that practically every time he goes to chase an opponent down, he either wins the ball back or fouls them. They don't get to continue their play if Messi's after them :lol:. Part of it seems... -
FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)
Uneventful game. Hope Vinyals makes better choices for the midfield next time like Grimaldo, etc. because the creativity was very poor today. I guess it can be seen as 1 point earned given our situation. Adama was god awful again though. Brutally unintelligent decisions literally every time the...- DonAndres

FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)
Just maybe that's because it's been 20 minutes into the game after 5 days of a new coach? Just a thought. We've controlled the game well anyhow. And Sandro just hits the post with a wicked shot. I was hoping that Samper would shift up when I saw Diagne in the lineup but Vinyals has switched...- DonAndres

Bundesliga
Nice goal by Götze. Gaudino impresses me with his poise on the ball but he needs to be a bit more aware of pressure on him.- DonAndres

Cristiano Ronaldo - v1
If he doesn't score against Deportivo tomorrow or barely manages to score one, I'll believe that there's a chronic problem with his form. Whether it's an underperforming team, his age, 2nd half of season choking, etc. he should still be burying minnows like he always does. He hasn't been all... -
Athletic Club
That article basically puts it in a nutshell. Re-elections have been called and Urrutia is planning to run. I haven't been too fond of him tbh but I don't know that much about Macua (I didn't really follow football politics at the time of his presidency). In other news, our next matches are...- DonAndres

Gerardo "Tata" Martino
Idk, the squad conversation has flip flopped so hard all of the time that it can't be taken into account. It's been said last year's squad was better when we were doing shit earlier this season. People now say that Rakitic gives us a big advantage but there was another perspective that last...- DonAndres

Adama Traore
It would take a miracle to produce a solid RB or RWB out of Adama Traore. The kid couldn't link up or engage in team play if his life depended on it. His footballing intelligence is next to 0 and he'd probably drain 3x more from the team play in that position than he contributes to it. If Alba...- DonAndres

Luis Enrique
Levante are in a dire relegation spot in the table but are coming off the back of a 4-1 win against Malaga (a big upset considering Malaga are 7th). They have 3rd most goals conceded and are shit away from home. Playing them at Camp Nou will help mitigate any intentions of bus parking and I...- DonAndres

14 - Javier Mascherano
Of course his defensive qualities are awesome but our play was slower than usual (very few shots/chances in the first half) and Mascherano was a part of that. I am loving the role he's played in the team's performances over the entire season though, at CB and DM. His versatility, leadership...- DonAndres

10 - Lionel Messi - v3
I was a bit perplexed with all of his crossing in the first part of the match but still, decisive today. Had the most touches on our team with 117. Fucking ridiculous how he can orchestrate our entire attack, create chances in the final third, and outscore pretty much all of Europe at the same... -

Eusebio Sacristan
So long you arrogant buffoon!! It brings me great joy to see Eusebio "The Chosen One" Sacristan unemployed and gone as far away from our club as possible. Go be the hero who knows how to lead a team to success at Castilla.- DonAndres

Boxing
Idk. Floyd's got Manny on credentials and the Marquez knockout has never stopped haunting him but when it comes down to technical aspects I really think the fight can go for the Pac-man under the right circumstances. Off the bat we know that Pacquiao's stature as a southpaw will cause trouble...- DonAndres
