Stats and comparisons aside,I really think he is on the same level as messi in terms of entertaining,and all other top players are below both of them in that regard.

Pleaaaaaaaase i need any one or some one, to give me 2 goals that CR7 has
scored that where really important not a tap ins or he created for him self.
to be frank CR7 dont even deserve to be on top 3 at allllllll he done nothing
nothing at all last year Nada really, heck even morati scored more important
goals than him last year. i really dont understand how even CR7 is there.
and u say Cr7 is better than neymar, neymar is 10 fold better than CR7 ever
was even in his prime he is really over rated i really hope he stays at RM
cause as long he stays RM will not improve at all hehe wtf he even still takes
RM free kicks.

i can only re call that stupendous header vs sevilla ,his goal against Barca at camp nou and that long rang goal against Armenia . Doesn't deserves to be in top 3 ...

Remember Casillas saying Barca were finished two years ago. It's a Madrid thing

That's too funny. It looks like he was talking about himself instead of Barca.

He is playing at a very high level.

The energy he has even at the 90th minute is very impressive.

"We are going to renew with Barcelona, that's for sure," the attacker's father said following the La Liga awards.

The energy he has even at the 90th minute is very impressive.

Yeah, his stamina is really fantastic. A great example is this moment from the clasico where he easily beats a rested Carvajal, who was subbed on around 60 minutes in, at the last minutes of the game:

The Sociedad game last weekend was also a good example of him being completely relentless until the final whistle. His determination and drive was crucial for Messi getting his goal at the end.

Already closing in on Messi and past ronaldo imo

 

[Barcafan 2304]

It's Neymar that worries me the most. Please please sign!

It seems Neyboy wants to buy property close to Messi and Suarez. He probably doesnt want to feel left out

Sharing goals and now they can share their meals, video games, anything you name it....

Why not buy a big house and move all three families together. Or a small apartement for the lulz.

2:12 is a good example of what I hope we've seen the end of- a needless bit of Neymar 1.0 flashy-dashy turning a 3v2 advantage on the left into a 1v2 disadvantage, then a nonproductive run central near the half line towards congestion, ignoring the open space he's left behind him on the left. Neymar 2.0 (based on his performances vs Madrid and Roma) would take advantage of the options his teammates offer, who he here relegates to the role of neutered spectators.

The way I judge a player's individual skill at Barça is 1) what are his teammates doing to support, and 2) how well the move takes advantage of that support and leads to a productive move. There are plenty of examples here of Neymar 1.0: fancy footwork that draws the eye, but lack of awareness of his teammates positioning to convert advantages into production. Watch the video once to enjoy his skills, then watch again to see what his teammates are doing, and how often their efforts are left hung out to dry. That is the Neymar I've found difficult to watch, the one that wastefully misses opportunity after opportunity to make a move productive; I hope we will continue to see more of what we've finally seen the last few games, which is a very different player.
