    Sergi Roberto

    Yeeeeaaaaa.... He's "injured" long term

    Sergi Roberto

    So happy for him that he is finally getting some praise. Now He'll really get a chance to shine being the only option at RB with Dani out.

    24 - Thomas Vermaelen

    Isn't it more defensive on counter attacks? Right now barca push up both fullbacks leaving just the cb's, busquets and sometimes rakitic or iniesta. So with 3 cb's always back, busquets and then sometimes Alves/Alba it seems more defensive. But like I said in my previous post, I don't think...

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    This. Actually I'll add to it. He will never leave until he's ready to go back to Brazil when he's old. And he's already a success here. Bale just had that one great moment against Bartra in the copa del Rey. Okay maybe he's done a bit more but it's cool to bash Bale. Isn't it?

    24 - Thomas Vermaelen

    Not totally against trying it, though I think Lucho is. I just feel like it's unnecessary when everyone is healthy. Who would be the midfield 4? Would it look like this.....? Busquets Alves Alba Iniesta Or would it be a flat 4 across? Unless you want to play...

    24 - Thomas Vermaelen

    Let's put it this way..... If you knew that you were getting pre injury Arsenal captain Vermaelen, would you play him or Masche next to Pique? If he has fully recovered and can stay healthy then why couldn't he return to those days?

    Penal Madrid

    I don't know as much as Madrid fans or even as much as most barca fans about Real's policy regarding giving youngsters a chance..... But what I have seen from Madrid since I've been a football fan (since 2006) is that they aren't patient enough to give the young players a true chance. Maybe...

    As long as it doesn't carry over to Sunday and beyond, I won't care.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    He might be a little tired but I don't think thats what the big problem was with him today. Athletic need to get the credit. They got their feet in perfect position to tackle the ball. He was trying to take on defenders all night. I know he usually beats them but tonight was just an off night...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    I'm not one of those messi apologists who thinks he can do no wrong but I don't think it's down to fitness. In what way did he look unfit to you. Yes he got dispossessed more than he usually does but I don't think it's down to fitness. It just happens sometimes. He wasn't moving slower than he...

    Spanish Super Cup: Barca - Bilbao 1-1 (1-5 agg.)

    I agree with this. You can't make wholesale changes in any area of the pitch and get consistent results. If the first choice midfield is rakitic-busquets-iniesta then at least one has to start every game. Preferably 2.

    European Supercup: Barca - Sevilla 5-4

    He's actually decent on offense as a LB. His crosses are better than Albas imo. That one to Suarez today was def onside. The problem with him defensively as LB is he plays as a CB which obviously can't happen. 2nd Sevilla goal is a perfect example of that. I also have an issue with something...

    European Supercup: Barca - Sevilla 5-4

    That's the nail in the coffin for Pedro's time at Barca. Sad, but glad for him. He should start most games at Man U

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    Wow. Can't believe this is happening to me again. My hockey team, the Anaheim Ducks had a period last season where several of their players had the mumps. Now it's happening to my football team on the other side of the world. What are the odds. I hope other players aren't infected like the Ducks...

    Daniel Alves

    Was hoping He'd just go back to 2 after Montoya left and he was done giving Eric Abidal his tribute.

    Eden Hazard

    Chelsea is one of the few clubs that has the ability to say F OFF! You arent taking our players. But I could def see it happening. Hazard and or Reus will be wearing white in 2 years. And I'm going to hate seeing that.
