I see your point now. Yeah, he does start to pull out of it, when he sees the shot isn't going to be powered to the center of the goal. Initial analyses told me he pulled out after making contact so he could get back in case of a rebound shot.

I'm glad they're winning now but I've got no idea who most of the B team's players are anymore.

Fullbacks won the game for us. And yet, all it will take is on Vidal dribble for people to start saying he's better than Dani again. :lol:

He got beaten a single time defensively but he wasn't bad at all. And his attacking contribution actually won us the game along with Alves, so that should more than make up for it.

He was completely diving in the opposite direction. He wasn't "about" to move directions, he was in full motion. His feet still being there to stop the ball was down to the shot being rushed and aimed directly at him.

You are trying so desperately to bait me but I already know your game, and I'm not interested.

I'd rather talk about his first big save than the obvious fluke kicksave. Bravo's reactions and diving are on another level. I would have expected Valdes to concede goals like that and would hardly even be upset.

Imagine Lord Varys or Littlefinger saying that. Would be so deep...

I'm impressed you managed to escape the Claudio Bravo thread.

They want to bring in Montoya for a fee but they don't even want Douglas breathing their air. :lol:

He had one moment where he crossed the ball across our box against a 3rd division team in the Copa. It was gold.

Oh my God, they actually turned down signing him for free. He won like 5 trophies in his first season in Europe though! These Liga teams must be stupid.

We're also unlucky not to have Rafinha. Never forget. =(

I'm seriously not even bashing him as a CB. At CB he should be our certain 3rd choice, arguably even in the starting squad over Mascherano. My problem is he's consistently used as our backup LB more often than used as our backup CB, and,* ahem*, certain people want to argue that Mathieu is some...

Are we absolutely certain that Bartra is still on the team?

It's hard for me to see him staying with that style forever. He likes to dribble, and he likes to score goals. He's more likely going to end up being that when he's not the new kid on the block that just wants to contribute enough to play. His teamplay will probably be pretty poor but that...

And Puyol played striker. Big difference between youth teams and first division...

I never imagined Deulofeu playing centrally before. It seems contrary to his typical style of play. He's the opposite of Munir/Sandro in that he hates being central with the ball, hence his tendency to panic and fluff his shot or go for a dive in the box instead of going for goal. I personally...

We can already do that with the squad we have now. I would want our signings going forward to be younger. Look at our CB situation. Bartra isn't trusted even a little bit, so we have three CBs that are 30 and older. All of them will need to be replaced practically at the same time. Adding...

The deflected goal was just your defense failing to clear the lines. That shot should have never come in, especially wide open like that. And the out of bounds ball doesn't take away from the fact that you were lucky to even be in the game at all with all of Aguero, Silva, and Toure hitting the...
