Wow what a post. As if asking for a little bit more height in our frontline or more variety in our attacking play will make us into an 'EPL' team. Since when was having a team full of small players part of the 'barca philosophy' ???? Even Cryuff's Ajax teams would put crosses in. And to say...

The problem with Zlatan was zlatan himself. He slows the play down and wasn't suited to our style (and his workrate off the ball is poor as well) despite what the barca or messi haters want to say. Messi didn't have a problem playing alongside et'oo or the other strikers with argentina.

3 seasons and 3 managers later and people are still waiting for him to fit in at Barca. ridiculous

I think we need a little more height and physicality on our team and I've been calling for that since Guardiola's last team but somehow those are un-Barca like qualities. A player like Thomas Muller would've added a little more variety to our team in the final third even though he's not the most...

I wouldn't be too upset if that were too happen. Standing still on the pitch and running just a little bit more than our GK is inexcusable. Either you work hard when you're on the pitch or you can sit on the bench.

'His last season under Guardiola'.............you mean the same season in which he was setting all those goal-scoring records and carrying the team single handedly on his back when it was actually others around him who weren't giving it their all. Messi deserves criticism but his poor form has...

Would appreciate if somebody could tell me the exact number of clasicos that Messi has played in. Thanks.

Madrid were doing to Barca what Barca does to opponents, except the RM wingers actually cross because they have height in their frontline. Di Maria going one on one against Alves and with Marcelo making over-lapping runs. Martino was out-coached there by Ancelotti who clearly used that flank to...

This guy is not a top level defender and maybe not even a proper CB and that should have been clear two years ago. If Benzema had been in full form this game could very well have gone out of reach in the first half. Let's not also forget the fact that he gave away a clear penalty in the 1st...

Really gets exposed when he plays against teams that do a better job of pressing and have pace in the midfield. You could clearly see that the game was too quick for him and he was easily hurried into making mistakes. He's still not the answer for this midfield. An older, slower version of Xavi...

I just find the Shakira comments to be tasteless and crass really and I'm not pointing at any one person here. If your gf (regardless of who she might be) can turn you into a bad defender than you weren't really that great to begin with.

I know that guys like Maldini etc are a rare breed and those are exceptional cases but I was just talking about the general standard of defending and not just at the very top. There are very, very few elite level defenders any more and just the general standard is not that great either. I really...

That really hurt so bad??? And btw I only started watching football since the early 90's but have seen plenty of videos of earlier matches to make that comment so I ;m not that old kiddo.

And anyways, Federer's days at the top are done. Nadal, I felt could be upset in the opening rounds at Wimbledon because he hadn't played a warm-up event at grass going into the tournament and he is not somebody who is a great starter at Grand Slams. He even lost a couple of sets in the...

You do realize that at age 31 even the great 7 time Wimbledon champion Sampras lost to a lucky loser in the Second Round at Wimbledon. And the fact of the matter is that the game is much, much more physical now than it has ever been. It's much harder to perform at a high level when you're in...

I laugh at the morons in here who used to say this guy is a great defender. I wonder for how long these guys have been actually watching football. Anybody that saw Serie A back in the late 80's, 90's and early 2000's would know what a great defender plays like.

I think Charles is decent but not that great. He'll occasionally have something funny and insightful to say but I also find he tries a little too hard to be controversial at times such as picking Indiana over Miami which I don't think even he believed for a second or when he said that last...

But against the elite teams, skill does matter and it shows in those games that he isn't a true CB. Masch was another signing that didn't make much sense when it happened and doesn't make much sense now either. That money could've been spent on a true and proper CB.

The teams that progressed in the playoffs deserved to do so. This isn't the NBA.

He wasn't brought in to wait a couple more years and start at 28 nor was he brought in to be a super-sub. It was just stupidity from Pep and Tito who didn't see that he didn't fit in the starting 11 and nor he is an adequate replacement for Xavi. It's not Cesc's fault that Barca haven't found a...
