It is so dishonest or stupid to claim stuff like "Dembele created the most chances". If you let Pedri, Frenkie, Aubameyang and Torres also lose the ball 30-40 times per game that equals 150-200 ball losses per game, just from them. That equals twice per minute, without taking the other half of...

But I just gave you the relevant stats though :( And as I said, Getafe was a special situation, don't bring that into it all. My point stands just as steadfast. Of course he should create the most, that's his literal job. I don't defend MatS with "he saved the most shots though" when he is...

Dembele is a "joker player" without a hint of "DNA", licensed to fail as much as he likes in order to be the spark for the team. His creation numbers will be heavily doped, especially since Barcelona are very competent in getting him the ball, there are few games where Barcelona don't hold at...

If Dembele didn't lose the ball those literal 34 times, and didn't make such bad or forcing decisions the times he didn't lose the ball, you could be pretty sure that Barcelona would create some chances still. If another player had the license to play like Dembele, you could be just as sure that...

Very sad news! I hope we'll get to see him get the ceremony he deserves! And on a serious note 90 minutes on Sunday, so that I can drink that bottle... Then I guess we might see him in the Catalonia team just after, a pretty nice team tbh.

No, I am someone who can read, calculate and draw conclusions. Here I make an easy prediction based on the available statistics that Dembeles stats will regress to its mean. We will see whether that shows to be correct, or if it will be as you believe, that these outlier stats recently will...

How did Pep behave as a pivote? Is Barcelona a club with 6 CLs or only 1? I followed Barcelona when Motta, Marquez, Edmilson etc played in that position and I saw the massive improvement when Busquets came along. I also saw players like Mascherano, Toure and Alex Song (a player not to...

I misread nothing. If you took the time to actually read what you replied to and think for a while instead of only understanding it went against your feelings and replying hysterically like this, it might be more worth talking to you! Your not so excellent calculation gave 0,08 xA to Dembele...

Who are you to call someone a troll? What did you ever bring here? I pretty much only see emoticon-filled one-liners with stupid takes when looking at your recent posts.

A bit of a shit graph. It makes much more sense to simply compare his output with his failing, that is what it is all about. Yes he spams crosses and difficult passes. This graph only tells you that his passing leads to 3 shots per game, which is slightly more than most players, and that these...

Yeah he made an obvious mistake in that game, congrats. Show me the player who never made a mistake. He is by far the best player of the team, week in week out. There is no difference vs 'good' or 'bad' teams.

Is current league champions and CL finalists Real Madrid considered a good team? Former champions Atletico de Madrid? Are only the teams that happen to take points from Barcelona (Getafe, Rayo, Cadiz, Frankfurt, Espanyol in the last four months) considered to be good? He has been consistently...

Yeah I don't think he has ever been one of the bottom ones... I believe he is a special one! Just sit back and enjoy these last few years of his career, you will never encounter a player like that again! Concentrate, take it all in! It's the same as it was with Messi, or Ronaldinho

I am very disappointed by some of his decisions, and some of the characteristics he has shown, but he did objectively fine so far. There is a possibility of him showing himself to be great, still, as opposed to how it was with Koeman after his first half a year, he had already shown that he was...

Sad to see you engage in these "debates" with the Scotsman. Eats up a lot of space and leads to nowhere, everybody already knows he is dishonest and boring. The test for Xavi will be after summer, a summer without a tournament, having had 2 windows and close to a year with the players - there...

I gave you an essay, read the post.

The entire back line had before this game played for less minutes this season than Jordi Alba had on his own. Mingueza had four starts since Christmas, playing the full 90 only once. Lenglet had started once since Christmas, against Cadiz one month ago. Balde had not played at all since...

I don't think they allowed themselves to fail even close to Dembele levels this game. Hence the 70%+ possession compared to 40-45 or what it was last game. They are pretty terrible though, both Depay and Auba fail too much and I never really liked them. Ferran Torres needs to step up, he plays...

Good game from Mingueza again as a CB. I quite like him there, a decent squad player.

Not close to the worst performance. I rather enjoyed it, yes. There were still too many mistakes, Balde, Torres, Depay and Aubameyang being the main perpetrators. Dembele could very well come on in the 65th or even 45th minute in a game like this to try and force things, having him available in...
