Then fans should stop demanding him to be a starter in each and every match. And he should accept the role of being a substitute. It's irritating to see fans calling Griezmann as an unnecessary signing since Dembele is there. As you said, if mbappe who is playing like world class is squandering...

It's not as easy a fixture as it seems. They destroyed Napoli and Chelsea.

It's not about the fee. It's how his tactical awareness is. Coutinho who struggled earlier is now the second most important attacking threat. Angel Correa, Asensio and Mbappe are what you call world class young talents. When you watch the match you don't get the impression that they are younger...

Pique was actually covering the disastrous performance of Umtiti alongside Roberto. Dembele never tracking back doesn't help him either. If Suarez was said to be disaster, then how can you say Dembele had good game against Chelsea? He was terrible other than the goal isn't it? You've listed 5...

We have Vermaelen.

Pique and Suarez? You might not be correct. They despite having flaws played their roles. Dembele had not had one notable performance other than the Chelsea goal. He's not being criticized because of being a young player.

I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing with you. I want to be specified on what his role exactly is. He can't intercept passes like Rakitic, Roberto and Busquets. He can't break the lines by forward movement like Roberto. He can't tackle like Rakitic. He can't be involved in build up play. He...

Everyone that played under simeone became world class. Falcao, Aguero, Costa, Griezmann, Oblak, Correa (not still world class). It's better for him to be at Atletico. It could be the most intelligent decision for him.

Sorry. I thought you were speaking of clasico tie at Camp Nou.

In El Clasico, from my little experience there are no favourites. It's the game Messi would be at his best and Pique would be Beckenbauer and Iniesta would be at his best. But still, neither Barca nor Real Madrid are favourites. It's the most competitive game in football. Of course, there is a...

I wouldn't say Barca's tie is luck, but we were luckier than Chelsea. If Real Madrid beat us in El Clasico they would have surely overturned the title race and it would be close now. They weren't disastrous as Barca fans claim, it's that they were complacent after the clasico loss. They still...

Banega, on his day is a very good player but inconsistent. But I want Di Maria and Higuain to be farthest away from the squad. But, I still opine that, Lavezzi is the most significant reason of Messi losing CA 16. He put the ball on plate for Lavezzi. Lavezzi was not marked by the defender and...

Real Madrid has the best squad in the world. No team in the last six years had a squad so good as Real Madrid. Rakitic plays the role of a CDM more than CM. And he's certainly one of the best in the role. Defensively he is better than Modric but offensively far worse than him.

Dybala has similar shooting to Messi from what I've seen. Once, against us he shot from outside the box and started to celebrate only for Ter Stegen to make an extraordinary save.

I'm not estimating based on possession. It's based on the clear cut chances. Chelsea had more clear cut chances. The difference in scoreline is because of the difference in the shot accuracy. Tactically, chelsea were better despite having inferior team to Barca.

Chelsea completely outclassed Valverde tactically. Chelsea were the better team in both the legs. Only Real Madrid and Atletico. Juventus wasn't Juventus at all when we played them.

*Post-Rijkaard

He of course is. And it has been since Rijkaard.

Coutinho was the second most threatening player after Messi was substituted. Dembele is worse.

Okay. But I didn't criticize him. Read my posts again.
