11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

[Neymessi]

He wasn't much better in the second half, though... Scored twice so that's always good, but still nowhere near the level that's expected from him...

Exactly whats wrong with people against him. Unreal expectations. Scored twice,created 2,almost scored a golazo and kept the game with flowing with some nice forwards passes but all you need to look are his misplaced passes and the bad moves.

You can stop expecting anything from him because he will give performances like these all the time so stop judging him with unreal expectations...or just lower your expectations maybe.. And if you can't lower your expectations then please just stop criticising him game after game..

sloppy in first half but getting sharper and more focused in 2nd. If he plays like that I'm not worried. Spanish justice is a joke - only seems to apply to Catalan region.

You don't lower your expectations when he probably was the best player in the world last season when Messi was injured and that he's the most expensive player the club ever bought (Yup, not my money but I still give a shit).

We can't argue with you though... "NeyMessi", seriously. Even if I say good things about him it probably won't be enough.

People expect him to be a Messi 2.0.That's not going to happen,i'm sorry.You are severely underestimating Messi if you think that any player can emulate both his greatness and specifically his consistency.

Ney is not Lefc you should have high expectations,but if you think that he wasn't good/one of the best players today,then maybe it's time to rethink the situation

If that is not at least a good game from Neymar, than it's just too crazy to even bother discussing about it. It's one of those things you don't bother debating because it's too obvious. Guy came an inch from a hattrick while also creating other goals (with Roberto). He was very good even if he made several mistakes. Overall, when you take part in goals, scoring or playing great passes to create chances, losing some balls is not a big deal.

I would have written a well thought argument to your first line but your second line just saved me the trouble as that showed its not worth it.

It was a good game. People get too fixated and place too high an importance on some sloppy plays and don't take the whole picture. I can live with sloppy attackers as long as they continue to influence and impact the match, and Neymar surely impacted this match.

Doesn't mean he cannot improve on his sloppiness and phase out his bad habits, and one can definitely criticize these, however when a player is a work in progress but continues to positively influence the game, you can take the whole picture into account rather than fixate on single details.

And I'm sure he would score at least 10 goals versus Western Michigan High School - 1 player.
He started scoring when Gijon was already dead buried with 10 players left...and it's not like Gijon's defense is a brick wall. Atletico also won 5:0....it's just a piss poor team this year.

He showed a lot of vision and ideas in the first half, but failed to execute the final pass and create the opportunities he was looking for.

If you already don't like him, all you can see is how many passes he failed.

In the second half he was more effective and played well even before the red card.

After that he was very good, taking advantage of the situation.

OK, so he was great against a poor team. Nobody said Gijon are a top side.

So since gijon is shit, and we bought him for a record fee, means he should have scored at least 5 to have had a good game?

 

[Devils]

I thought he was great, he looks a lot more effective when he has that freedom role wit Leo out.

He was very active today and was great in attack.

Great to see this from Ney, hopefully he shows this a lot more this season.

He was good last 20 mintues against a poor team, yes.
