Incredibly rubbish. We dodged a bullet on that one.

I agree 100%. People here analyze individual performances but the problem here is Barcelona terrible static building game... Nobody will thrive in this system. Messi will always look ok in any system but even him would look better with more movement.

He's not more awful than the rest of the team outside of Messi. What IS awful is the slow building play of Barcelona. It used to make sense with prime Iniesta, Xavi, Messi and Suarez. It doesn't make sense at all nowadays when only Messi is still there (well, technically the ghost of Suarez is...

People here conveniently forget most dangerous passes and attacks usually come from him. So yeah he's wasteful, but he's also the only one with Messi and Coutinho creating any kind of danger for the opposing team. Subbing him at the half didn't work out that well yesterday.

That's a good question. In my opinion, Mbappé will leave in a few years anyway, not because of FFP, but because Ligue 1 is too weak compared to Liga. He'll probably end up in Madrid.

FFP may exclude them from European competition one day, but that's the maximum they can do. They can't force you to sell any player. Qatar would accept not taking part in European competitions if that was needed to keep their players.

Not a good argument unfortunately since no team promoted to ligue 1 ever gets trashed 7 or 8 goals (well, once in like 10 years maybe...). It happens a lot more frequently in Liga. Doesn't change the fact La Liga is a far better league than Ligue 1 (La Liga is actually the best league), that's...

Mbappe won the World Cup and was among the best players of his team, not really a Mickey Mouse competition (actually the top competition in the world), that's a feat considering even Messi and Cristiano never achieved that in their lives. If you want a Mickey Mouse team though, look no further...

Nah, did you watch him play in Dortmund ? He was stellar. Though I must say it hasn't shown as much in Barcelona until now. Then again, Barcelona slow possession game is not optimal for him.

The best thing is he can do a lot better. He was more impressive at Dortmund. This guy is a generational talent. If he manages to lose less balls he'll be a monster. I think he'll do just that in the years to come.

So what ? My point is 7-2 is a farmers league score. When a new team comes to France Ligue 1, PSG never beats them with 7 goals or even 5. Their defense isn't as trash as Huesta's. Worst teams in Liga aren't better than worst teams in other leagues. I'd even say they're worse. Scores like 7-2...

I know people here often talk about farmers league. Well, this Huesta team is a real farmer team. Even ligue 1 teams in France would thrash them comfortably (any team). It doesn't change the fact that Liga is by far the best overall league, but damn there are very bad teams here too.

Nothing to do with Pogba here, he actually made good things tonight again (multiples passes which should have turned to assists) but it's a team game and damn does this MU team suck badly. Pogba's strength is long passes but in this MU team there's nobody to pass to because nobody runs behind...

Mendy is great OFFENSIVELY. Defensively he still has to improve.

Cristiano is 33 and a half, nobody would take him today over Mbappe who is 19. If Cristiano is still better, it won't last long, maybe 6 months or 1 year max... Cristiano was great (he still kinda is), but his career is basically over now.

Not sure what you mean, I'm 43 lol.

Mbappe is already better than most of the guys on this list. In the World Cup he absolutely destroyed the competition with his runs, shots, passes... And he's only getting better now. He looks better than Neymar now at PSG... That's him being 19... only 19. Only Messi is unarguably better than...

As a French fan I can tell you you're far off the mark with him. He doesn't take himself seriously at all, this instagram post is just for fun. He's just a fun loving guy like Pogba. A bit childish sometimes but very lovable. Absolutely not egomaniac, otherwise he wouldn't stay at Atletico by...

Deschamps rates Dembélé since he made him start multiple games, including the first one at the World Cup. Now Giroud just has a different profile that matches pretty well with the rest of the team. But Dembélé is supposed to be the one who takes Giroud's spot in the years to come. That, and...

Comparing apples and oranges here. Coutinho is 26 and Dembele is 21. Plus, Dembele had injuries last year. He's adapted very well all things considered, Dembele stats are pretty good in his limited game time.
