He is a big talent (I slagged him off to Jam Dav more to wind Jam Dav up). However, his fitness and other stuff might always prevent him being the level his talent demands (by that I mean consistently one of the best midfielders in the world).

They know they are incapable of ever again developing a Yamal level talent so they wanna throw money at a player of that level. Funny lads.

I think he's scored a fair amount goals with it over the years (correct me if I am wrong anyone) so it's a little odd.

To be fair, it is a game of opinions, so fair play who ever said that. In my opinion though, he was very good in first half and even better second. It seems a consensus on here too (bearing in mind this is a forum about Barcelona). Yeah I figured you would be watching the Liverpool game. It was...

Excellent tonight, to be a bit critical: The chance when he was isolated one on one (I forget with who) - he dilly dallied. He really has to come back inside on his right foot and get a shot away. In tighter games he has to get that right, as excellent a striker as he is. The chance a few...

He really is class. Maybe I am just lucky but he never has a bad game when I watch him.

Lol no. He was better in the second half but very good in the first too. Just because he didn't score or assist in first half doesn't mean he didn't intelligently help build play. Whoever said that to you (or where you read it) was being harsh on the lad's first half performance.

Not as familiar with the boy as the other young starlets in the team, but I like him a lot from what I have watched. Barcelona have so many quality young players coming through La Masia.

This guy is a legend :lol:

Two great goals. Honestly thought the chance might have gone with the first one but the extra touch got him by Neuer and opened up the goal again. Many players would have panicked and shot without that extra touch and had the shot saved. That's why he's a quality player.

A great first half that I thoroughly enjoyed. Both teams played their part but Barca deservedly lead. The kamikaze high line of Barca is worrying me a bit but on most occasions it's been dealt with well. Four very nice goals in the game so far. I am sure most of what I have to say about the...

Yes I raised my eyebrow at that too. He's an excellent player, really not sure about all-time great prospect, can't imagine that at all. I guess it depends how loose someone's definition of all-time great is. You never know.

Went for 2-1 Barca, but also tempted by 1-1 or 2-2. I hope Barca can do the job anyway - would send out a great statement if you can beat a top power like Bayern. I have noticed there is a fair amount of depth in the Barca squad now, when most players are fit anyway. I will be watching anyway...

I asked my Portuguese mate about Beckham, he said this. I think this backs up what was said earlier - people think Beckham is being rated as one of the best players ever. That's not the case though. Maybe that's why he gets underrated as an attempt to 'restore balance', a pushback: 'He was...

@Fati_Future_BallonDor Here are my predictions mate, as you requested

Been better off signing Joao Pinto than those two to be fair, and he's 53.

By alpha males I just meant you seem to admire guys whose looks you rate, that's all. Fair enough, I was expecting you to say something like 'David Beckham was incredibly handsome but he was still an excellent player'. You have taken me by surprise by having no interest in him personally, in a...

Lol you are never gonna let me live that down are you :lol: . Lol taking inspiration from your idol, Cristiano.

Yes, never disputed he could play an excellent long pass. I just remember him overusing it because of - as you say - main character flashy syndrome on the pitch. Beckham maybe had an even better long pass than Scholes, tbh. Most of Scholes were long diagonals to the wing, crossfields. Whereas...

Genuinely not having a go...but I know how into looks and 'alpha males' you are - are you maybe into Beckham also because he was said to be so handsome and glamorous? Lol. It's a genuine question. As a person he's quite awful. The email scandal, the Royal sycophancy, the selling out to Qatar...
