Wenger knows best...

New interview with him, filtered out the FCB-related bits: On assessing his time so far: "It's hard to give a complete summary. But naturally, I don't like the situation as it is. I play only few games, but I play in the CL and I try my best for the team. I just want to be there too. And we...

Messi MAtS Busi

And I debated that where? You miss my point. Watzke said himself he wasn't aware of Reus having made any decision as he hadn't communicated it to them and thus believed that he didn't make one, yet. Thus Nostradamus' interpretation of his statements as pointing towards a more or less inevitable...

The article says "...according to kicker information, BVB assume that there are only two options for the 25-y-o". So even if that info is correct, doesn't mean that BVB's assumption is correct. As for Watzke's, KHR's and Sammer's statements, I don't see how those have anything to do with Reus'...

Good avatar (albeit sad). Und willkommen.

And he wasn't too bad against us either, so this whole "not a big game player" judgment is a bit arbitrary. And I'm never really sure what "Barca material" exactly means, but the strengths he has and offers are definitely material that Barca need and could have used in a game like yesterday's...

I think he'll gonna win it, but I doubt the clásico will have played any role in this. Ronaldo's performance was too poor and was too much perceived as being poor in the media I've read/seen to make any difference. So if Messi was in with a chance before this game, he still has one. CR is the...

The black cat must have been good for something...

I don't mind him starting in the CL as such as I think he's good enough to fare well under the right circumstances, but he needs more game time in less crucial games to build a solid and stable communication with the team without the added pressure that CL games mean. Less crucial la liga games...

Perhaps his recent Bild interview answers some of the leaving worries: Q: Have you settled well in Barcelona? MAtS: I feel very good there. At the start however, there were a few things that were a bit unlucky. After I had fared well in preseason I had good chances to start in la liga, but then...

I think you're painting the external factors a lot darker than they are. - "not Lucho's signing": Before Lucho played him against PSG, I'd have agreed with this, but now I don't see how this has any influence. Ignoring MAtS performance in this match, choosing him to be the CL keeper this...

Barcelona 2-0 PSG Scorers: Messi, Rakitic

I know right :lol: Alba looks like he just got beaten up badly...

He didn't earn to get the starting spot in the first place though; quite to the contrary if you compare all 3 gks' performances in pre-season. And if "Bravo has kept clean sheets" is the only reason why MAtS (or Masip if he was fit) isn't given a shot, that's not a very strong one. Since when...

Blurred distinctions between "benching" and "rotating" though, and he could easily rotate him for this match without any unfair implications.

People will never understand the art of jinxing.
