Messi can still catch him on a calendar year-basis, CR is only 4 ahead. It would only take another knee injury from CR and Leo is back in it. Not that I wish bad upon CR of course. :p

Yeah, possible, as I said I could imagine him rotating two keepers even for la liga when the schedule gets congested (such as now for the Malaga or Granda games); my point wasn't that he's against rotation per se but one way or another he's surely aware of the risks that come with playing one...

0-3 (in favour of scorer predictions)

Not conceding while making only 1-2 mentionable saf(v)e(s) isn't the same as scoring 15 goals in the first 10 matches (or anything really note-worthy) though. Bravo hasn't done much (or anything) wrong but hasn't done amazingly much right either, at least not enough to make benching him totally...

:lol:, so? Some Bayern fans are as deluded as anyone. They also use the "We have the player's mentor, PEP, coaching us" argument for each and every of Barça's youth players, regardless of whether they actually worked with Pep or not. They also said Rafa would join Bayen this summer because he...

Not sure as to whether Lucho has definitely and un-revocably made up his mind about the keeper situation and there's been no statement so far that would indicate that ("one of the two starts" etc). Rather than "wanting Bravo as the starter" there could be other factors that might change...

Messi genuinely didn't deserve it last year though, so voting for Cronaldo wasn't exactly a sign of being blinded by stats or anything. This year so far I'd say it's even, la decima, CL record, numbers are in favour of CR but the CL final and his pathetic celebration in it (which loads of papers...

This, I'm not sure where this notion comes from that Mathieu must prove himself against top opposition before we know how good he is when he's looked solid in the top games last season, especially against Real. He had a relatively sloppy game yesterday but has still been one of our best...

Nope, there's nothing about Reus, Hummels or Zubi using YT as his no. 1 scouting method in there. :shrug:

Yep, bit worried about Malaga's dirty play so I'd rather not see Neyboy risked if there's any doubt about his fitness before the match (wrt his ankle). I think MAtS might actually start this one with Bravo starting the Granada match; it would give both keepers 1 match per week and offer MAtS a...

Immobile...

He was loaned out before debuting, Samper is the only player to debut without ever playing for any other club at all. Edit: Ah, got beaten to it

4-0

Wouldn't be like MAtS at all to give up after only one season, highly doubt that. Also doubt that challenging Neuer in the NT matters to him so much that he'd easily give up a career in the club he's wanted to play for for years (I know everybody says that, but MAtS talked about Barça already...

Messi Neymar Mathieu

Because of Woody Woodpecker: That was his nickname at Gladbach, because his team mates thought he looked and moved like him, and he adopted that.

3-2

Unless Lucho had already decided before TS' injury that he'd prefer Bravo, I don't think he will be letting the injury make the decision for him. For what it's worth, Sport (I know...) had a comment article prior to the Elche game, saying the technical stuff preferred TS as the no. 1 regardless...
