right, so we have a manger who plays conservative, and decided to put a veteran and la masia product (aka someone who knows our club inside and out his whole life) , GOAT contender for his position over a guy we just brought on 60? days ago
oh and also worth noting, iniesta had 9 days rest for...
I would start a 37 year old messi over 20 y/o dembele
just like how i would play iniesta over X Y and Z
and call las palmas sarcastic names but they took points from us, so it only proves valverde was right to play our stars against them, unless you really believe resigning points for the...
I personally rather win the league then come 1 point short or lose at match day 38 than get to the semi finals in CL and "put on a good fight"
we are not playing bad football either or atleast by general standards.
a league and cup win in a season is a successful season no matter what and in particular with the league, i consider it less luck based and a great achievement.
idk why people assume a treble is the norm here
well today he played with rakitic, busquets, and iniesta
i agree though when he plays with dembele it seems problematic taking a midfield out for a winger
think he was the only one in their team that wasn't hoofing it up the field hoping for the best, he was able to do one-on-ones and move the ball around
and atletico's midfields role was only to sit deep try to stop messi and coutinho and then kick upfield hoping to break an offside line...
some of you realize he's already played RB for 2 seasons against many big teams including RM away from home but ya'll now want to wait and see how he does against X Y and Z to develop opinions? lol
he is what he is, unlike many fans here i still believe he is better than semedo in almost...
did you not read my post, iniesta rested 9 days
coutinho started last game
im assuming we started ineista to keep coutinho fresh against atletico madrid? like so many people complaining about "being run to the ground" but you guys want a guy that came back from injury to start every game...
what is this running him to the ground crap, he rested 9 days before this game, does he need a month off before he can play again?
why are we paying him such wages then
way i simplify it:
he's not the best striker let alone of 00's idk why this is a debate lol
he's also not the best inside forward / winger of his decade
he's not the best second striker of his decade
but idk we can agree to disagree
when someone says villa is one of the greatest strikers, i am going to compare him to strikers
spain won the world cup with their midfield we all know this, based on your name we know you're a fan of his but come back to reality, he's a character and was successful here but really not too special
Villa was a good purchase for us, and provided a good inside forward.. did the simple stuff very well and came up in important moments.
but as i said i just don't rate him a top player of the 00's.. also wasn't the leading man for spain's triumph in 2010
xavi, iniesta, busquets, iker all out...
I like villa but he struggles to even make top 5 strikers of the 00's much less top 5 in world
I mean
Raul, Ronaldo (brazilian), Samuel Eto, Ibrahimovic, Van Nistelrooy and many others that contend such as forlan, drogba, shevchenko
werner would go for what, 50-60m? with no competition for his name
would he accept a bench role?
it's really not as simple as picking a youngster and expecting them to accept our conditions.
