    La Liga 14/15

    Revenge for the robbery Elche suffered last year? :pep: Hope they hold on, feel no sympathy for RM getting calls against them.

    Marco Verratti

    Fantastic player. Couldn't imagine why people think Pogba would fit better than him.

    Luis Enrique

    We didn't just get 3 wins against Atletico, have the likes of Pique, Messi, Neymar, etc. go on peak form, and tie Pep's best win record immediately after our absolute worst state as a club without any changes. That's just naive. There's more to see than just 'Messi is scoring and assisting...

    Luis Enrique

    Messi's and Neymar's form didn't just come out of the blue. The team setup changed after the Real Sociedad match and we played much better as a unit, to the benefit of our attackers. He subbed on Rakitic at the 62nd minute (the only change that would actually work in our benefit). It's not...

    Jordi Alba

    Nothing but shit from him today. It's kind of frustrating that with all the other areas in the team that need to be looked after (CM, RB, CB) he's letting us down so clearly now that we'll end up having to look for another LB as well.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    He had a good game given the platform he had to perform. Smart touches, nice movement. The offside calls were his only personal undoing but even then a good few of those were wrong calls.

    Daniel Alves

    Amateurish error and shit match. Move on and get better from it. I don't doubt that Alves will be introspective about that and try to improve.

    Claudio Bravo

    I'm not *blaming* him for the goal but his decision was shit. If he were going to come out, he either should've done so in a slower, less boneheaded manner, or charge later when Juanmi had less space and more pressure. He had another similar bad moment for Malaga's 2nd best chance late on in the...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Not a good day but he did try. As I said in the chat, Messi's game consisted of: 87 touches, 2 tackles, 6 dribbles (though his dribbling was shit), and several attempts to create chances with direct balls. He did create 3 or so great ones that were either fucked up by teammates or called off by...

    Luis Enrique

    Really bad day from the players, hard to blame Lucho. He made the right team selection (maybe Rakitic should've started though) and we started off playing pretty good football but Alves's error led to their goal and we had no response afterwards. Malaga crowded the box, left the wings opened...

    Fantastic link footyfan. Do you know how soon it is updated after matches?

    Verratti or Pogba?

    Verratti. He has all the skills and vision to play in Barca plus some defensive tenacity. He's no tank but he displays strength on the ball (hard to dispossess) and off of it (strong tackles, good at winning back possession with 2.6 tackles and 1.5 interceptions per game). He's a much better...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Honestly, I kind of wish R9 played in this era instead of Cristiano and didn't get injured. THAT would be some rivalry. Brazil vs. Argentina. RM vs. Barca. Both are two of the most insanely talented players in history, one moreso with club and the other with country. Perfect complements. R9...

    Marquinhos

    Had some nice showings for Espanyol this season and moved to Villarreal in January. Decent player. Also, I agree that Varane/Marquinhos are above Laporte. Laporte's performances for Athletic have been the best in a bad situation though, can't be criticized for underwhelming. It's just that...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    The only two players I can genuinely compare to him are R9 and Maradona.

    UEFA Champions League 2014-15

    Said this in the Bayern thread: Shakhtar could be real threats for a huge upset (round of 16 exit for Pep fucking Guardiola???). The good news for Bayern is that his hands are tied for Schweini-Alonso, the bad news is he's been wacko enough recently to pull some other shit that damns Bayern to...

    Bayern München

    People are criticizing Pep right now and frankly, he deserves it. Of course injuries are never easy to deal with but he has gone off the radar several times with tactics over the past year with Bayern. Thiago at DM and he gets 4-2'd by Dortmund. Schweini-Kroos double pivot (lel) and he get's...

    Luis Enrique

    Idk what the hell the 'tactics don't make a difference' bit was all about. I mean Lucho is no tactical genius but the adjustments and changes he's made (both systemic and in response to our opponents) have been very astute recently. He's still a young manager and if he's capable of epiphanies...

    La Liga 14/15

    2-0 Game over. Atleti suck ass against Celta this season. Atleti's consistency has been questionable defensively speaking. Simeone's approach should'e been different and much less submissive tbh.
