Lucho probably saw rafinha playing well and his youth fetish kicked in again, hopefully he is fit to play against PSG though.

Rafinha doing great with limited playing time.

This is false, ofc we would've screamed for a new CB, Barca fans last season were a bunch of cry-babies too attached to some fantasy of a perfect team that never lost any game (A team we never had). One CB doesnt make a defense. Defending is infinitely different from attacking, illustrated in...

Didnt say he wasnt good, I just find this one moment in his career hilarious. I just hate how varane is heralded as the jesus of CBs and theres this constant need to downgrade Bartra. Is he better than Bartra? Yeah, he's faster and is a better tackler. But Bartra is good and can dribble...

Barca fans are just extreme cynics when it comes to young players, have been since bojan.

I still dont get this not physical enough thing, when was the last time he got bullied? 2012? And he's played against the likes of Diego Costa since then.

Pep says he's never coming back, and i doubt he'll retire coaching by 2016, he's what 42?

Key pass is the same as chance created, any pass that leads to a subsequent shot.

Him tracking back to our corner flag to retreive a ball says otherwise about him not having great workrate.

Thats an amazing stat. And he's been playing well too so its not like he's been anonymous.

Messi's heat map probably looks the same since he always went out wide half the time anyway. His starting position doesnt affect his game, but it does for Suarez.

Yeah he takes more long shots, but not to make up for the nearly 200 shot gap between the two, although I could be wrong about that and the shot stat doesnt say he is a bad finisher but just an incredibly stupid football player.

I dont think so actually, unlike younger messi, Messi now uses going to the byline and crossing with his right pretty often, he has what 2 or 3 assists off of that this season?

Its not about him roaming per say but more about Suarez, if Messi starts out on the wing, he'll have Suarez in the middle occupying cbs so he can dribble into space more, if Messi starts in the middle, we'll see more one two's with neymar/suarez/iniesta in order to worm through defenses.

RW for parked busses, False 9 for big games probably. Unless False wing/7 or whatever works really well and it becomes defacto.

And we did it without Xavi or iniesta starting.

I think if Lamela comes good on his promise, they find someone to replace Mascherano (Although he doesnt seem to be slowing down), and Di Maria/Aguero/Some other striker is good and he has his pace, a World cup win and the record isnt out of reach.

That would take what 12 goals? 2012 Messi could probably do it though. 7 games is more than enough.

Thats the last big record he can probably break right? World Cup top scorer is out of the picture since Muller is too young to compete with and Messi got his scoring ways started too late. Edit: @DonAndres I think the reason he's still so involved is because the midfield is working better so he...
