I think in my special ability was playing no look forward passes. I had also the vision for through balls but mostly i hit the ball with too much power, finding the right weight is very very difficult.
I know what you are saying - I never did no look passes or anything but like through balls. Weighting is hard but think I am generally good at it, though don't get right all the time.

It's hard to gauge what is football discussion and what is friendly talk, but we better wrap this up now as I promised @Gnidrologist we'd have less one on one banter on the forum lol.

Wow i cant imagine my game play with out no look passes, they are highly effective when you do them right but need good eyes for that 👀

Oh yeah Gniddy surely wont be as merciful as last time when he sees that again 😰

I mean I do disguise passes where I fake to shoot and pass in a direction I wasn't looking as I already know player is there, but I don't consider that a no look pass.

this is a kids-no look pass as you looked to know that a player is there

i mean a high level no look pass where you dont even need to look because you feel it

The greatest playmaker, the greatest assister and the greatest goalscorer of all time


Funny I used to be frustrated post-Iniesta Barca since overall level of play declined compared to golden years but now's so far below then too.

Talent ID's awful obviously and then coaches relying on percentage football. Big scandal right now people calling for Hamorim out instead of Mainoo out. Too bad we didn't have Xavi out instead of Puig out.

What do you think of Pedri these days?

BerkleyBernie was dead on about him. Even with Yamal he still hasn't shown anything close to golden Barca but he plays safe and decent percentage inshas. Rakitic kinda bored me but he could make himself available in around box when amigos were doing their dominant tiki.

Even when Messi and Iniesta did short inshas which they never relied on their target accuracy was much higher since they weren't really inshas.

It's really crazy to see Yamal making dribbles into box and rest of team are static and mesmerized henceforth known as "Yamal-watching" and then you have average IQ players like Lopez darting purely vertically with no consciousness of upstream open space respect to defenders. Donkey's worst of all just running looking for ball on top, it's not their fault Barca decided to go this route since relatively successful especially when we're mostly capitalizing on opponent errors rather than creation football.

United fans would love to play our brand of Bayernball but ironically they have puiged players more suited to creation football than we do. We have the best player itw but we'll never see what he's really capable of without other creation players. And discount chums like Ohlno or Fraud aren't it.

Society's in rapid decline, by design, and you have coaches who really don't have the balls and intelligence to go against the grain. They see Pep's fossilization as the standard when it's more post-mortem stillbirth what he allowed to happen at Barca.

Just came back from injury and scored twice to send his team to the final of leagues cup. Just GOAT things.
'Leagues cup' or even in UK 'League cup' is such a funny name.

Bound to confuse casual viewers who already don't know the difference between a double round robin league system and a single/double elimination knockout tournament.
