Maybe you need to go watch some vids on the net of Maradona to know what calibre of playmaker he was You'd learn some more instead of making stupid gifs.

I know this is a fan forum and objectivity isn't exactly held in the highest regard in a fan forum but anybody who thinks Messi worked hard off the ball only just started watching him the last season or so. I'd give credit to the other Barca forwards for their work-rate but not Messi, when he...

Anyways, I'd still swap Di Maria+Xabi Alonso+some cash for Neymar. Would do it without any hesitation, espcially given the fact that with Suarez joining us, goals is not the big issue. We need a forward line that has versatility, too many of our forwards in recent seasons have the same profile...

Yeah, the fact that Casillas is still starting at Madrid is quite astonishing. I find it hard to believe that Ancelotti would support such a decision but he knew who he was getting into bed with when he signed for Madrid and I don't have any sympathy for him. With all the criticism that Perez...

Did you just start watching Barca from last season???

Mourinho isn't going to play that openly or offensively against the top opponents. Against the lesser teams he knows that he can afford to be more gung-ho. They could've easily conceded 4 goals against Everton and in the big matches, Jose usually has a lot more cautious approach.

Ozil fit in well at Madrid and was their best player when it comes to passing in the final third. His work-rate and energy especially in the final third of the match did go down but he was somebody they would've definitely needed for example last night against Atletico to break down a stiiff...

If even one of Costa or Turan were fit for that final, I believe Atletico would've won.

He's always looked slow-footed 1v1, gets easily turned around.

This game against Bilbao was similar to a lot of the games I saw last season under Tata in that there wasn't the same flow or rhythm to our passing game. It is more surprising given the fact that, as the game progressed, Bilbao were not defending as deep as you normally see from a Barca opponent...

Ronaldo is the most important Madrid player (especially when it comes to goals) but however there are certain circumstances in that quarterfinal tie against Dortmund. Dortmund were without Lewandowski in the first leg due to a harsh yellow card that he picked up and therefore they had very...

I think that what Madrid will miss is that Di Maria was a different winger than from what they have at the present moment. Both Bale and Ronaldo are individualistic players who don't make others around them better. All they want to do is shoot and only pass as a last resort. Unlike these two, Di...

Neymar was unimpressive considering the price tag and the expectations. He was supposed to add something extra to Barca and was talked about taking Barca to the next level and yet he couldn't even distinguish himself from the likes of Sanchez and the other Barca forwards. I remember there was...

Di Maria would give us something different that our other forwards haven't and plus his pressing and defensive work would be a huge asset for us given how much of that has gone missing in recent times. I haven't seen any attacking player who does a better job of pressing than Angel. Neymar...

I wonder what the people here would think if Barca had given Neymar to Madrid in exchange for Di Maria (plus some cash from Madrid). I know that Neymar has a higher ceiling but he's not even a star player IMO much less a superstar and right now it doesn't look like he's going to live up to...

Messi doesn't make those runs because there is no space when you have a team defending with 2 walls of 4 deep in their own half. The difference before used to be that our quick and incisive passing used to eventually break such teams down when Xavi provided distribution and runs and with the...

Yes, I really missed his great performances in the first Clasico and the CL. The fact of the matter is that his performances have more to do with the quality of the opposition and how well those around him are playing rather than which part of the season the match is being played. I can't...

Don't worry. He will revert back to him amazing self next season when we play vastly inferior and financially troubled clubs in La Liga and he will have his fanboys in here and when the going gets tough everyone here will be talking about his '2nd half season slumps' and how he is not being...

Nobody is saying that hoofing into the box for a tall CF is the ONLY way to score against teams that collapse. There is a reason they collapse down the middle and that is because they are happy for us to cross into the box knowing fully well that we are not a threat to score from headers or from...

'Argentina having a good side at the time'......LMAO!!!
