    Lliga | Round 29: FC Barcelona - Athletic Bilbao 2-0

    A mitigating factor yesterday was natural tiredness after a big CL game. This season though, either the first half is slow, lethargic and generally awful or the second half is. The first half was really good yesterday but then second half was dire. Similar to Atleti game. Half the time this...

    Cr150

    There's been better finishers in the game. Finishing wise Ronaldo is more Andy Cole than Gerd Muller. Brilliant at getting in the right position.

    Cr150

    He has about 20 shots a game and chances put on a plate every week. If he was the ultimate shooter he'd have 1000 goals.

    Antoine Griezmann

    He's another Cavani or Higuain who'll get you the stats but won't produce when it matters.

    CL Quarter Finals: Roma - Barca (4-4 agg.)

    Roma are typically the Italian Tottenham.

    CL Quarter Finals: Roma - Barca (4-4 agg.)

    Need to take a lead there and we should be okay. Looks like Real, Bayern or City in the semis though if we get through.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I'd take either. We need legs in midfield and more solidity. Particularly for this stage of CL. We should have signed Kante from Leicester. Him and Busquets would be hard to get past and then imagine Messi, Coutinho, Suarez and Dembele in front of them. Kante is the energy we lack in midfield.

    Marco Verratti

    You'd have him over Gomes, Paulinho, Rakitic in midfield and he's still fairly young.. Busquets, Verratti and Coutinho would go a long way to sorting out midfield issues. That said I wouldn't pay Coutinho money for him or go into another long battle with PSG.

    Eden Hazard

    27 and yet to perform in the CL or international tournament. Only really done it in the Premier League. I'd have him at Barca but it's time he stepped up on the biggest stage. I think he's actually got too complacent there and held back by cautious managers.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Should hit 550 this season. Could be 600 Barca goals by the end of next season.

    CL | 1/8 Finals: FC Barcelona - Chelsea 4-1 agg.

    Personally I said on here a lot going into the tie and before both legs that it'll take Messi to win it for us. Messi and the goal post has won us the tie which is nice revenge for 2012. With injury and fitness problems to key players, and Coutinho unable to play in CL, we've done well to win...

    CL | 1/8 Finals: FC Barcelona - Chelsea 4-1 agg.

    It wasn't good. Messi won it and Chelsea were toothless.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Messi does have this problem with a lot of players.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Nice revenge for 2012. Good occasion for his 100th goal.

    Andrés Iniesta

    All down to Valverde overplaying him. Just save him for the CL, give him minutes here and there in the league . I don't think you can play him and Dembele together either, given Suarez has to be carried.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Still won't be enough for the ballon d'or with the other fella around Suarez is a liability.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Our only hope. Rest him before and after every CL game for the rest of the season.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Dembele dominated the play as Messi normally would. Need to get them linking together as be did with Neymar.

    Marco Verratti

    Cavani is too often a big game bottler (higuain). City wanted Mbappe as well but that would have been their whole budget pretty much. Instead they signed a top goalkeeper and a new defence.

    Marco Verratti

    The problem with their approach is they spent the 400 mill on two players but neither of them are the best player in the world. Neymar you could say is in the top 3 and Mbappe is mainly potential. They'd have been better off going for Hazard instead of Neymar for half the fee and using the...
