    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    It's not really a good argument to say that Messi's good form correlates with the team doing well too. Do you expect him to perform amazingly in the big games against difficult defenses if the rest of the team is so shit? That's no excuse for his lack of effort but to chastise Messi for not...

    Premier League 2013/14

    Every time I see John Stones I'm thoroughly impressed with his composure and defensive prowess. Just had a goal line block vs Sunderland. How'd he be for a CB option? 19 years old, 188cm, seems a very good player. An Englishman's transfer to La Liga will always raise eyebrows but for player...

    Gerard Deulofeu

    He's never been a diver, for all his flaws going down too easily isn't one of them. Not the best game for him so far, but Everton play so much hoofball from the back that their attackers are limited in touches.

    Starting vs Sunderland in an hour..... praying he does well

    Valencia

    Paco is in amazing form, Valencia are lucky to have him. The underrated liga talent of this season. Developing consistency is his next step but given his age, no worries at all. Pizzi is also only just starting his project at Valencia. The team and players will perform much better after he has...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    It is actually fair to single him out this time, but not to the extent that some have (criticism is one thing, but it's hilarious what some are suggesting off one match when not even 3 weeks ago he was giving out amazing performances vs. City, Real, and Osasuna.) Messi played a shit game, he...

    I guess you've seen like 2 Atletico games then :lol:

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    It was predictable that this thread would explode with demands and wishlists right after the loss. Not to say that change isn't needed, it's just obvious how people building up so much about our "ideal transfer lists" in this thread will be disappointed when it proves futile and we have minimal...

    Koke

    Damn. Would be well deserved if he could. Still seems the best for that role at Atletico (post-Gabi). I love the transition from youngster to youngster in la liga: 10/11: Griezmann getting lauded at Sociedad, Muniain quietly impressing at Athletic 11/12: Muniain hyped up as Spanish Messi...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Honestly it's all down to coaching style. Ever since Pep left, we have coaches that cater more to individuals than the team. Back in 08-12, Messi was a self-sacrificing part of a larger unit. He may have been the best part, but still a cog supporting the machine. Ever since Tito and now Tata...

    Koke

    Should be Atletico captain soon. If he secures a starting place within the NT in the next few years, he should be Spain Captain as well. He just has that General's persona about him. Always willing to give it his all and is a charismatic/vocal leader on the pitch.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Not denying that we've had bad games even with Messi here, but let's not act like his absence suddenly spurs all our other players to perform at their best level. The only times we were playing even slightly competitive games when Messi was out turned out to be losses. Those same problems showed...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    The only time when Messi was out that teams even brought their A game against Barca was against Ajax and Athletic. Consecutive losses.

    Atlético Madrid

    Simeone: "We need to recover as quickly as possible. We've a game on Sunday". Oh Cholo, I doubt there's anyone quite like you.

    Manchester United

    United seem much less of a laughingstock after giving Bayern a real scare.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Agreed. For all the criticism that Messi deserves this match, the WC argument is one of the most feeble-minded.

    Atlético Madrid

    Want them to win CL now, fully deserve it (the only undefeated team in the entire competition). Simeone is unbelievable, breaking La Liga's duopoly in the league and downing the two giants in cups (CDR for Madrid, CL for Barca). Fingers crossed that he stays with Atleti and builds a long-term...

    Koke

    He is a MUST in the WC squad, in a fair ranking he'd be on the higher end of the pecking order as well.
