He hasn't proven he deserves that right. He has been very average in the big games with Barca so far. He probably wouldnt be subbed off only because Xavi doesn't seem to like Roque much.

Becoming embarrassing. He is constantly abusing referees and players on the sidelines.

He has also participated in very important games like El Clasico 2nd round last season to seal the title and passed with flying colours.

Xavi is telling him the ref was bribed to send him off, so how can he feel responsible hearing that from his own manager?

I like him because he backs up the talk. He isnt one of those guys who has a lot to say and then delivers nothing. He talks the talk and walks the walk. I hope he sticks around and doesn't regress too much so he can win something with us before he leaves us.

It's not a disaster because we had an okay CL campaign and showed we can compete with PSG. It's just disappointing in the context of the season where we haven't won anything. But it is much more positive than last season in terms of Europe. We proved that we are on the level at least of teams...

I guess part of the equation is the top players are watched much more in knockout games but he didn't look good even when he got the ball in space, and came up 1v1 against Kounde multiple times first leg and couldn't do much. Barcola and Dembele were much better.

PSG also did win against Chelsea in R16 with Zlatan sent off very early in the game. Unfortunately this type of stats aren't documented anywhere though I'm sure there are other examples (probably none like this situation though). The only direct comparison would be finding games where teams...

He scored a pen and a meaningless goal at the end. Didnt have much impact on either game.

Is it the best attack in football though? On paper it might be, but they struggled against much worse teams in the group stage, they haven't proven anything like that. The proven best attacks are Madrid, City, Liverpool (not in CL this year), etc. PSG have had the best attack on paper for many...

PSG is a great team but acting like 2 goals up with 10 men is some insurmountable task is really not it. Plenty of teams have held with 10 men with leads in important games. That is part of the problem in being unwilling to adapt to new circumstances or adverse events in games. Stuff like that...

The whining and histrionics from him is truly absurd. I get it's not all his fault but this guy comes across as massively delusional and egotistical whenever he has one of these episodes. He's complaining that the ref fixed the match over what was a clear red card. How can him and his team...

Not good enough. A few opportunities is all you'll get probably against these top teams as a striker, 0 goals across the 2 ties with a good few chances is not acceptable, disappointed again by this man, unfortunately.

It was terrible but we should be very careful not to pin the entire result on this one moment because we still had options being 2 goals up down a man, that's a defensible result. Often when we go behind or have an unfortunate event impact our game we get hung up on it and can never leave it...

Just let him score. There is a fair chance it might get saved anyway. Idiotic. He is used to making those risky fouls in LaLiga where the refs take a shine to him.

These games dont matter much as long as we come up with the goods and get to the CL final.

He has a very pragmatic style. We saw against PSG we don't really have a defined style, sometimes we sit back in a tight block, sometimes we hit on the counter, sometimes we try and hold the ball and play positionally.

Serie A is still slightly behind LaLiga, but improving fast.

Interesting you say that... what do you make of their strong 11 compared to ours?

However, we do have to give Xavi credit if he makes it past PSG and gets to a CL final this season, whatever happens, this season would be better for me than last season. 1-0 against low table LaLiga fodder every game is much easier than beating a good rich team like PSG over 2 legs, teams like...
