    :lol: The smartest jackass in football.

    Alexis Sanchez

    I agree that Sanchez is a world class talent but I don't think he showed that at Barca. Nice goal tallies and some really awesome highlight moments but if you want to judge his game-performances as a whole, you can't say they are anything near to what they are with Chile or Arsenal (which is a...

    Luis Enrique

    The thing is, I wouldn't flame the guy for sticking to his guns and remaining almost overly loyal to his philosophy if he had a real one. Playing smart and high quality football would make it alright to struggle with results for a bit because you'd know that in the long run the team would...

    Luis Enrique

    From the quotes I've read of his press conference he is feeling the heat of the team's current situation. I expect that changes will be made in order to improve our status. That's one thing with Lucho, he hasn't been a 'yes man' or complacent as a coach. Bringing up Munir/Sandro, rotating...

    Sergi Samper

    I feel like we're gonna have to rely on him sooner rather than later. Not as a pivot, but for the CM position. Xavi is the only true central midfielder we have that excels at controlling the game and circulating the ball but that comes at the price of only playing well when rested and leaving us...

    Luis Enrique

    Based on availability it'd be easiest to get De Boer or Paco I'd assume. Both would hold the same gamble in the sense of making a massive jump up (from Ajax/Rayo to Barca) but at the very least they understand the vision of 'total football' and how to play with tactical unity. It can't be...

    Luis Enrique

    If we lose away to Ajax (very possible) his job security is out the window. After that the big worries are Sevilla and Valencia which could put the nails in his coffin and maybe Apoel if we play as poorly as we did in the first leg (they're serial bus parkers and we're shit in away games). PSG...

    Man of the Match 14/15 edition

    1. Messi- several brilliant dribbles and chances created, lacked finishing though. Best of a bad performance. 2. Bravo- a few great saves that kept us mathematically in the game at least. 3. Alba- did his duty and didn't particularly underperform unlike others.

    Koke

    Simeone has inched him into a free role this season and holy shit has he capitalized. Plausibly the best midfielder in football right now. Highest assist tally in Europe with 11, head and shoulders above everyone in set piece delivery, orchestrates everything on the pitch for Atletico with his...

    La Liga 14/15

    4-1 with a visionary ball from Koke to RG8.

    And just floored somebody with a Xavi-turn now :worthy:.

    La Liga 14/15

    2-1 Griezmann brace, Koke is a fucking monster in this free central role. I've never seen Atletico with a stronger passing game. Totally dominant this game and Cordoba's goal was a total anomaly. Koke really playing Xavi-esque recently (yes, refined passing included). Possibly the best...

    Bundesliga

    My god Robben :lol:. Bayern are super effective on the counter right now but their control is terribly inconsistent.

    Bundesliga

    Right now Bayern are blowing, useless long balls being sent forward and the midfield looks totally empty. They've lost the shape they had earlier.

    Bundesliga

    Despite everything, Dortmund manage to turn up for this game :D. The goal is really against the momentum of the game though.

    Adama Traore

    We flame Alves for being inefficient as a RB. What is the benefit in getting a player who would be both inefficient AND individualistic at RB? His crosses are more blind than Alves and he'd spend most of his time trying hollywood dribbles abandoning his defensive post.

    Lliga: FC Barcelona - Celta de Vigo 0-1

    No.... Bielsa outperformed with Athletic's individual value in 11/12 and then greatly undermined it in 12/13. Paco Jemez is working with pretty much the bottom of the barrel at Rayo yet they've miraculously stayed up and done well every season with him in charge. An even more magnified case...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    The Aspas debacle has plagued me like a persistent herpes. But yes, I did see the hat-trick. :p

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Great analysis yet again. One of the factors that helps inhibit Messi's dribbling ability is the fact that our transition play is just piss poor in this static system that we're playing. There's little of the quick passing between the lines with purpose that lets us attack at destabilized...

    Gerard Piqué

    I agree in that we can't afford to sell him at the moment but it'd be disgusting if nepotism was the reason that he gets to stay. If, after the transfer ban, we get better defenders and he continues to be poor, he needs to leave. End of.
