He takes a crapload of risks, which I don't really know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I know that a very good striker would notice that from him and use it to his advantage. It's 50/50 with Mascherano all the time. He will either make a good tackle or he will really mess up his tackle...

Also this. Very true. With the little minutes Thiago gets, it seems Thiago seems more active, more present, and more lively than him. Yes, Thiago is prone to making stupid mistakes, but at least he's hungry to get the ball and show off his skills.

Why doesn't he play more? I really like him. He seriously has potential to be our long term Keita/Yaya hybrid.

I really want this guy to stay and prove his worth, but I highly doubt it now. His confidence is way too shaky. You need confidence to play for the best club in the world. I'm sure everyone knows he's got loads of talent, but that talent is useless when it doesn't come with confidence.

On what terms did he have a good game exactly? Mediocre game yes, but good game? He was almost invisible except for that pass to Villa which almost led to his second goal. He needs more consistency if he's going to be Xavi's successor.

I'm so scared for his health that I would sub him out at the 60 min mark every match when we are up by 2-3 or more goals.

Barca 5 - Rayo 0

It's crazy that the only two Barca kits I own happen to be of the same design even though they are nearly 10 years apart from eachother. I have the Rivaldo jersey from 1999/2000 season and a Messi jersey from that 08/09 season:

He has grown a lot over the past year. Was about 5'7'' when he made a start sometime last year in one of the league matches. Puberty hit him late I guess.

Montolivo was a bit reluctant to clear that, it was a bit strange if you ask me...

Very, very hard. These are my personal top 3's, but I must say the whole team was doing well: -Messi: Obvious choice -Busquets: Seriously showed his cool composure today that we were all accustomed to of the past 2 seasons. YES, WE WERE ENTERTAINED! -Iniesta: There's only one Don. So many times...

Wouldn't mind having him back.

Roura will need to resign and Rossell will need to be exiled from Barcelona if such a thing happens ever again. Focking ridiculous to make players play on painkillers when there's an abundance of talent in the squad.

Barca 4 Milan 1 (Trying to keep this as optimistic as possible since I'm known to be notoriously pessimistic :) )

Excellent game, MOTM for me as well. Gave a lot of flashes today of the Puyol of 5-7 years ago. Very strange that he played the full 90 though. I want to see him start against Milan...

It's extremely disappointing to see the staff use him so scarcely. He has a lot of talent and when he makes his little dribbles it reminds me a bit of Yaya. He needs to play more often.

Thiago Alves Puyol

They will win, and you can quote me on this. They lost with a 250 mill team nearly every year. If they lose again this year, they will be one of the biggest failed projects in the sports' history.

in b4 CR or Higuain goal.

Think it's going to be 0-3 or 0-2 for Madrid. They will come out with all guns blazing...
