Kostasgtc I am talking about the same numbers about Shots.per.game on whoscored.com .You can clearly see that Barca rank 25 or something like that in terms of shots on goal.However our shots on target are better because we somehow tend to hit target more often than teams like RealMadrid...

To score goals you need to create the scoring chances(shots on goal).We have scored more goals because the goal-scorers have been more clinical than previous season.That does not take away the fact that we are creating less and compared to other top teams much less.My point explains Alexis and...

Our Shots per game on average this season is about 13-14 spg .Messi on avg. has about 5 spg out of that . The remaining 8 get distributed among the rest with Pedro and Alexis getting less than 2spg each. We are not even among top 20 teams in ranking on SPG .While during Pep's time we used to be...

Let us just say Alex and Pedro make everyone else on our team look better. That is their current job.They do this by 1. Adding width to our play and stretching it so than our midfield can work in the spaces. 2.Applying quick pressure on opposition midfield and defense when we lose...

Diego is/was my favorite footballer . There is no one like him because he is unique.That does not mean he should be the best ever and Messi can surely surpass him without following the same path.Messi should not be compared on standards set by Diego but instead how Messi did in his own way ...

Was all hardwork and no reward but this is what we needed today. Ran all the 80minutes he played and tried to battle with their defenders. Him and Pedro should get equal marks to Messi for today's work .Can't help it when all Atletico did was defend and hit on counter.

Don't have to assess each and every game . Did you guys realize how well organized Atletico defense was. Even at the 90th minute they were playing with a BUS formation and maintained the same defensive shape.In my view their BUS was better than Chelsea's but our genius and luck won the game for us.

1. Adriano 2. Busquets 3. Iniesta Flop : Diego Simeone for his cowardly tactics .

Bosses the midfield .Just love him .

He does not have to prove anything to english media.Every year we have faced tough competition. Messi is CL top scorer 4 times in a row ,more than he has been a pichichi .It is hilarious how people forget his contribution in the CL for the last 4 years.

There is surely some playing plan for Iniesta this year to keep him fit for business end of the season.He is being played in the important matches and is subbed when the team is winning comfortably.In some home matches he is being rested .He is not the type of footballer who can play non-stop...

Neymar is not in Robinho/Sanchez category. People should have understood this by now. He is the most marketable athlete in the world. His acquisition will be like Ronaldinho's in 2003 . Offcourse the team will need some changes in setup on the field to get the best out of Neymar .

Well said :barca scarf: As for Zidane's case I am not going to argue anymore as I really don't believe the challenges faced by him are same as Iniesta.Different times ,different setups and different roles .I could find many qualities in Iniesta that Zidane never showed in his game. For example...

I think as Zidane has himself said many times the style of play has changed a lot .The tactics and role of players from similar position have also changed . Obviously to judge any player we have to watch the matches where they played their best football. After watching Zidane's few matches I...

Neymar is better player for any team than Gotze or Reus. A player who scores 50+ goals/year should be compared with Messi,CR and Rooney and not Gotze,Reus.We should purchase Neymar over any other signing if Neymar agrees to join us .If he does not then we should plan to strengthen our defense...

I don't agree with you Kostasgtc . But I get what you are saying . There are certain aspects of game that I think Xavi and Iniesta are unrivaled. 1. awareness 2.quick passing with ball retention .Iniesta has even better speed ,dribbling technique and shot as compared to Xavi . Zidane was a...

4-3-3 is fixed. Don't think we will ever change it to 3-5-2 or else.We do have flexible systems which you can sometimes observe in games. But that flexibility is based on the set of rules(instructions). If we play without those rules than we won't be the same. It is very simple because we don't...

I don't think Falcao is a Barca quality player . I haven't seen enough top quality passing and half-touch plays in his game. He looks more like a goal-poacher rather than a ball playing forward which we need .Fortunately there is a player named Neymar who has the quality to play in frontline of...

GK : I have seen only Valdes enough to judge . Defense : 1. Puyol 2. Koeman 3. Alves Midfield : 1. Xavi 2. Iniesta 3. Laudrup Forwards : 1.Messi 2. Ronaldo 3. Ronaldinho

For me Neymar is like a perfect signing . He plays like a leader on the pitch and always looks for his team-mates in attack . He has to adjust to a new system at Barca but he has the basic attributes to succeed here.If we can't sign this guy for attack then we better save our money for...
