Messi hasn't been "forced" into a playmaker role, he's one of the best players in the world at it. That's why he has the freedom to come back, dictate play and thread balls forward. Surely it is a tactic that Lucho exploits.

He's improving at being able to turn past a defender. An essential skill -- considering how he's isn't one to dribble past players.

Kroos was also bought for similar money, but I think he was on the last year of his contract.

Fastest to 350 goals with a club is an oddly specific statistic. I mean, do you know any other legendary goal scorer who joined his new club right after he won a Balon D'Or, and spent the prime of his career with? He's a great goalscorer, but there are other ways to show statistically that...

What do you mean? :neymar:

Didn't you already predict in the previous page? -- Anyway, Barcelona 4-0 Sevilla Messi, Suarez, Neymar, Rakitic.

I was going to post the exact same link. Great read, gives more insight on how a top defender thinks and makes decisions.

OyiK9ErngBw The WC was a nightmare for all three in different ways. They've come a long way since then. Sorry if it's already been posted before.

Important thing to note is that in the match against Bayern at the Allianz, they didn't have Walcott's pace on the break. So, that changed their attack considerably. They will be much similar to the first Bayern game tonight. I hope that they park the bus, we've struggled more against pressing...

Anyway, coming back to the match itself, no need to talk about another forum. I'm a tad bit scared about the fitness of our players. They've been playing non-stop since January. Physically, most of them are okay, because of rest here and there, but as Masche said in a interview recently, it's...

Thanks!

I'm afraid I've already read too much in their forum. Won't be posting there for a while. Side-note, I hope none from here goes there, after taking shots at pretty much everything related to the club itself, they've begun insulting our forum.

Nah, they don't have the cash. Sunderland is the real deal.

Time to get on the anti-jinx train. -- It'll be too easy for Giroud to beat our CB's. One is a midget while the other one is overrated, the only reason he is famous is because of his grilfriend's hips. Walcott will destroy that diving rat Alba, Alexis destroys that washed up Alves. Don't get...

I only watched the last 10 mins. Anyone want to fill me up on the rest?

Alena!!!

Lee!!!

Assuming we can sell properly lol. I can see the board somehow selling everyone except Douglas for peanuts, and pay few millions in cash to get rid of Douglas.

There is one other club... :benitez:

Why does Barcelona always refer to the stadium as "Arsenal Stadium", and not the "Emirates". Does it have something to do with our shirt sponsors? :bartomeu:
