Depends on who gets injured if Its Suarez or Neymar we'd survive with Pedro, we're fucked if its Messi but knowing Lucho he'd probably start Rafinha in RW over Pedro so who knows what would happen.

Well I mean what do you expect him to say? "Theres no point in even trying we lost", we've left all out knock-out round opponents in this position where they know they have two options, play a stale ass game and save the embarrassment or try to attack and get back the 0-7 from 2013.

He hasnt failed at Bayern, can't sum his entire career there to this one match against us as then every bayern player failed there. He's still only 24 and is talented.

A problem concerning La Liga revenues is the notion that La Liga is only Barca-Real and you can't watch good games outside of those two, Atletico has begun to change that and if Sevilla and Valencia keep on their current trajectory our dominance in europe will only continue. And onto Pep. Hope...

If thats the case - playing well for spain - then i'll take back what I said, I just never saw him play for Barca in that position so the reasoning seemed clear to me. Munir may not be scoring atm but he's always been good for the first team, and by good I don't mean i'm judging him the same way...

I'd disagree, the only times I've seen Pedro play CF was when Messi switched positions with him and he never impressed me. He occupied the CBs attention some what but Munir has played in that position for us and has played well (Scoring and assisting albiet only one time each).

Pedro is obviously better than him, but the fact that he is a CF who can play as wide forward on both sides means that we can rest Suarez while keeping Messi on the wing but still have the same player subbing for Messi/Neymar and not worry about having another player on the periphery wasting...

Sad thing is we don't even need to let him "prove" himself anymore. You can probably count his mistakes on your hand. Idk if Lucho has been telling him all along that he has a place here or whatever but Idk how he has the determination to stay here with the garbage mins he gets even though he...

Munir seems like a good fit to me, he only scored one goal and had one assist in his time with the first team this season but it never seemed like we had a youngster on the pitch when he was playing, it always seemed like we had 11 first teamers. Same with Samper which is why I have hope for...

Iniesta will always be the ultimate big game player in my eyes, he hasnt actually always played well in big games but I'm glossing over that because of 2009 and 2010 and the sheer awesomeness those goals were. Back on muller I always thought of him as a big game player cause of his WC showings...

Muller/Neymar isnt a bad comparison, he's a douche bag and doesnt have much on neymar in terms of technical ability. But he can score goals, and is the definition of a big game player. In a big game Muller might be better than Neymar imo.

Its actually kind of a glaring indictment of Neymar's creative contribution this season that Pedro has more assists than him while being invisible half the time he's playing. Won't matter as long as Messi is playing well but I hope when Messi begins to wind down he can step up creatively.

It was big because you guys messed up the first leg not cause of the quality of the opposition. He's yet to make a showing against a top 10 team in europe.

I respectfully disagree, of course we need to comfortably secure qualification but I believe giving a youngster time is more important than keeping a clean sheet for the record books. It may be garbage mins but giving Samper 10 mins against Bayern munich with their caliber of players will go a...

Yeah for me CF just described the players default starting position while terms like 9/False 9/False 7 (Muller) etc are used to describe a players attributes/play style.

Not that I want to start a semantic argument but I always separated CF/RW/LW from the terms 9/False 9/Winger/Wide Forward. Messi, Neymar and Suarez have all played CF but Suarez is a 9 while Messi/Neymar in the CF position would be False 9's.

In relation to his dribbling from the left not Messi* :lol: Edit: @anguy ofc he wouldn't be a 9 same way Messi played at CF for 3.5 years and could never be truly considered a 9 even when his movement became way more static. When Neymar played CF (Like once or twice) under Tata he played well...

There are plenty of young midfield players who I rate higher than him right now, Verrati/Koke/Gundogan(2013 gundogan > Healthy Thiago imo)/Isco have all been brilliant against the BEST opposition. Something that thiago has yet to do. He has the talent but even potential wise I honestly wouldnt...

If physicality is the only thing he's missing (Which I'd say is basically correct) then we should be rejoicing since building some muscles is something everyone can do with enough dedication and he has buckets of it. Someone just needs to point it out to him and im sure he'll work tirelessly on it.

I can't see Bayern keeping us out for another 77 mins because of the fact that they'll be chasing a 4-0 scoreline. We'll probably score atleast one but im leaning towards 2 from counters. Probably a 2-2 scoreline and Lucho being Lucho any scoreline that isn't horrendous/ we're about to get...
