    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Not saying Coutinho is on Iniesta's level, not even close. But if you think all Coutinho does is dribble and take long shots, you've not seen Coutinho play at all.

    Luis Suarez collects Golden Shoe

    He should. Most likely won't happen though.

    Luis Suárez

    WTF is "LaLiga World Player"? They may as well have said, "Yeah, we don't like him so we're not going to give him the LaLiga Best Player award even though he was untouchable last season. But to avoid fan backlash we'll give him a cheap consolation award." No offense to Greizman, but he was...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    I had no idea MSN have alread surpassed their goal tally from last season. Its currently 127 goals in all comps , if I'm not wrong. That's quite a feat.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    I went here to check out the top scorers, and I was shocked by just how many shots Penaldo has had. He's the ideal definition of a "tryhard". After tonight's result, watch him hog all the free-kicks, penalties, shots in and around the box in the following weeks. Oh wait, he's already been doing...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    First of all, Suarez doesn't "dive" in the truest sense of the word. He exaggerates small contacts. Its still not a good thing but there is almost always at least minimal contact when he goes down. Secondly, he didn't stop. If he was still doing those things in the Premier League, he'd be...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    And how's the change going to happen? He has undergone counseling, anger management class, cold shoulder from his wife, etc. and it seems to have no lasting effect. What's next? You're going to threaten to bench him? Liverpool have done that. You're going to fine him? Same. You're going to...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Oh really? His questionable aggression has been talked about since his early Ajax days by both fans and his managers. He has done stupid things in the heat of the moment, both big and small on-field throughout his career, in just about every club he's been in. Even though I admire his game a...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    It's not for you to "buy". It's a fact. He's not going to change. If the club thinks he's a liability, he'll be sold. If not, he'll stay. That's about it. You can write him a letter, file a complaint to the club, or whine about it in here. In any case, it's not going change who he is or what he...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Its a package deal. You either accept it as is, or sell him. Those are pretty much the only options. He's a grown man. He's not going to suddenly change. As for me, I'll never get tired of seeing Suarez play, even during the really frustrating times. He is unique and special.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    He's not Messi. He's allowed to be off-form sometimes. He's not gonna score every match. I'd be surprised if these people weren't the same ones who whined and moaned about his "disgusting performance" at the beginning of the season, and then praised him like they never spoke a single word of...

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    Its the owners and their "moneyball" bullcrap. They created the "transfer comittee" to put restrictions after their "Carroll" debacle. Yet, they're still going after the same overhyped one season wonder PL players who costs thrice more than they should, while the experienced proven top players...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    I don't think his speed has suffered all that much. It looks more like he has become smarter in how he plays. His top speed was never that high anyway, his acceleration is still excellent if and when he does use it. And I believe his scoring is down to his positional and role change. Sure, age...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    He's a human being. He's allowed to have an off game every now and then. Same with Neymar. People need to get off their backs a bit. They're not Messi. And even the best player in history has off days. They are a trident, meaning only one tip needs to make an incision to cause damage. IMO, even...

    Barca Forum Prediction League 2015/2016

    I think some people are a tad too optimistic with the scorelines. A 1-2 win or 1-1 draw sounds about realistic enough. I'd go for 1-2 win, with Neymar scoring first because he has a habit of doing just that in the CL, and Suarez for the second goal because......well, why not? Its Suarez. :lol:

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Maybe we can't compare Suarez and Sanchez on goals scored. But we certainly can do so in assists, and Suarez has him beat in that department hands down, and also in chances created. And yes, Suarez is a major upgrade on Sanchez, and there's no two ways about it.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Well, this is vintage Luis Suarez. He misses an absolute sitter, and scores a golazo in the next few moments. Just ask Joe Ruddy.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    So 60% of Suarez's goals were against teams in the top-half of the table, while 80% of Ronaldo's goals were against those in the bottom-half? :lol: Without the penalties Suarez would be leading by 6 goals with 1 game to spare. WOW!! Its actually not a big surprise. Suarez was the highest...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Perhaps. But let's not go overboard here. If the team continues to advance in all competitions, more games will bring not only more goals but fatigue as well. And that could make it hard for him to maintain his current rate. I'd say about 15 is more realistic. But who knows? May he'll do 21...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    I'm sure they laughed about it in the dressing rooms and went on with their lives. We're talking about Neymar here, not Penaldo.
