    Lliga: FC Barcelona - Celta de Vigo 0-1

    Rakitic is well rested and Rafinha deserves a game in midfield. Celta are doing too well this season for us to afford to have a gap like Roberto in the lineup. How well we do will depend on how quickly we can break them down from the beginning. My wish is for this game to give us some form and...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    One of the most important things he'll provide is the ability to break quickly from the front. He's awesome at anticipating quick sequences or counters, playing directly into attacking channels, and capitalizing on disrupted defenses before they have a chance to recover. His touches and passes...

    Isco

    Carlo really has changed him. He started off as a rough/selfish albeit brilliantly talented player but in the past year he has evolved into a much more complete player. He knows how to pass and move, defends very well, creates space with his dribbling and often starts crucial attacking...

    Luis Enrique

    I feel like his managerial style, like Tata and Tito, just doesn't address the role required to get the best out of the team. Knowing how to mix and match individuals in a set-up only goes so far and is dependent on the uncertainty of individual form/motivation. It doesn't address the fact that...

    Marc Bartra

    People can vouch for Pique on grounds for experience, history, and reputation all they want (factors that have nothing to do with true earned merit) but Bartra shits on him even though he himself is pretty bad right now. Bartra is far more aggressive and assertive in the air than Pique who...

    Sergio Busquets

    His first half was actually pretty good (our defense was killed on the wings) but he sucked in the second. Not exactly sure what the whole surgery business is about though, he doesn't look to be suffering physically more now than ever before. It's his dip in form and incompatibility with the...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    The one and only highlight of our game today was Suarez. Great energy, refined linkup, decisive, and fucking deadly. For all our faults as a team, the attack is perfect as it is now. 3 world class forwards in their optimal positions working well as a unit. Fix the midfield and defense but do not...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    That is true but he did have a very good half linking up with Alves and Suarez, dribbling 4 players, etc. Whenever we weren't pinned by Madrid's pressure, Messi was very effective in the first half. In the second half, we totally gave up as a collective and he dropped down too. You can see...

    Gerard Piqué

    Bench, sell, whatever. He plays like a fucking donkey, dipping to David Luiz v. Germany levels. Can't even feel an ounce of pity when he's not only a bad player but a shit person judging from his off-field actions (stink bombs, harassing police officers, etc.).

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    He got owned in the air early on (expected, not his fault at all) but other than that he displayed a lot of heart and was our only good defender. Him over Pique any and every day of the week.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Other than the finishing, he played a good game considering the possible capacity for him to perform was very low due to poor support. 3rd most touches on our team, his passing and play in transition were very good, and when we were actually attacking he had several good moments. Needs to get...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    I agree that there's a good chance he won't be clicking to a level of full force (and if Madrid compress enough space to keep us from the final third, his impact will be minimal). Even then, in the selective moments where we can break through and get forward Suarez will be very difficult to mark...

    İlkay Gündoğan

    Comparing Koke and Gundogan is very interesting, both are similar players and are at a similar level of ability. Gundogan functions better in the Xavi role but Koke is the more versatile player all round. Koke is the more capable player physically and defensively under Simeone's tutelage over...

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    There was also this instance where Eibar were pressing all the way to CB's/Bravo and instead of clearing it, the team decided to play a quick but intricate passing sequence to bring the ball out of the back. When the ball got to Masch, he passed it straight to an Eibar player and ruined the...

    Koke

    He's been a monster in every game this season in which he played closer to the middle and had Arda/Griezmann to link up with. Some of the passing sequences that trio come up with are sexy as hell. In the 4-3-3 he has way more passing options and his class shines since Atletico can actually...

    Masterful performance, the 4-3-3 looks ridiculously good for them.

    Pedro Rodriguez

    He did a hell of a lot better, great improvement in an open game like this. Sadly for him, it's too little and too late.

    Adama Traore

    The thing with Adama is that, no matter his talent, he is ridiculously one dimensional. A truly successful player is almost always well rounded even at a young age (Samper, Munir, and Grimaldo show this most in our youth system). Adama just knows how to charge forward on counters and dribble...
