Alves so good!

Decent save tbh, and a good run by the pea, but should score from there.

A polish 13 yo guy I have my eyes on... We'll probably have to wait a couple of years for him though! Dembele with his first minutes on the bench in a while, could only improve the team here. Depay is not a good player either, and seems to be a bit better coming from the bench, but I still...

Mats Alves-Araujo-Garcia-Alba Busquets Frenkie-Puig Traore-Fati-Gavi Well balanced and dominating! But if Xavi prefers to promote Zuk instead of playing Puig, I am all for it!

Milner was a very big talent, a big prospect, once. Like Luke Shaw, Theo Walcott or Phil Jones also were. He was always a good player, I certainly never trashed him, but if around the moment when Messi got Peps jaw dislocated someone would claim Milner was close to being or had the chance of...

To some degree yes, players are dependent on their team always, and it's tough to be top 5 if you play in a non-functioning team. Thiago was great at 18 in Barcelona, then in Bayern, and then in Liverpool. I never doubted him. He could theoretically be top 1 in the world at what he does and...

I like you, but you need to work on your irony radar!

He can do the bicycle kicks, too. Only unlucky they hit the post a few times! Seriously, neither is of Barcelona quality. The pea has scored some, but he has needed 3 or 4 chances for every goal. Luuk is a joke, but he deserves more chances based on his performances, and is a perfect squad...

Ok maybe. I think there are hundreds of players around at this very moment who are not rated by anyone but would become "unplayable" in the right circumstance and with the right confidence though.

No player but Thiago is truly top 5 in the world in this team. It is all about a functioning system. Yeah yeah you will say van Dijk, who played at second rate clubs until he was 26, Salah, who couldn't make it at Chelsea or Roma, Mane, who scored 21 goals in 67 games for Southampton between...

I am in such dire need of a "dislike" button here at this moment. In this case not for your particular post, but in response to the news you post. If Laporta does not have a club he knows will pay a shitton of money ready already this summer, then this new contract offer is the most stupid thing...

Here you are correct, nice post!

Hey Don, don't start acting in the same way! I am here posting my innermost feelings, have some respect!

Best of the team overall???? Maybe, maybe he is the best CF option, but I think Luuk has proven to be able to put the same ridiculous #s given the chance. Anyhow, whatever the system, can't defend these numbers! Tough to defend the coach who seems to be satisfied with these numbers too though...

The reaction is so unfair and so soulless, but can be explained by human psychology. It is tough to want to be part of this "human race" when you see examples like this of how they can behave and respond. Puig got to play 18 mins this year pretty much, and he thanked Xavi with an immediate...

I saw the grill pictures put up on that twitter account. Puig as invisible there as he has been on the pitch lately. Did anyone catch him at the tables? I saw pasta pesto, tomatoes, maybe some lettuce. I can just imagine him on a rolling stick, with the same disappointed face we sometimes see...

Humiliating everyone, including himself (mostly himself)

My heart couldn't handle that, and neither could his.

I fear for Puig here tbh, let's hope they don't make him into a kebab

Interesting discussion to be made about freedom and joy and how to get it out of the players. A player needs a structure in order to be creative, just as the artist needs a canvas. It is a famous "paradox" or what to say, that you can be more creative under strict restrictions (the dogme95 film...
