he pretty much did whatever he wanted today lol
Imo, easily his best performance this season. Villarreal suits him well obviously.
Surprised you would praise him here like that.
For Neycriticasters this would be an easy game to criticize him on.
Dribbling down the wing, he's simply unmatched in football. .
He wasn't that good in 1st half, good to hear he stepped it up.
i haven't watched 2nd half yet. But frustrating as hell to see him take iniesta (and others) out of the game when he does his cut-in runs, making them bystanders. All he has to do is dish it off to iniesta and continue his run, then iniesta can work his magic with an attacking run or pass. Neymar's run is heavily marked, he's drawing defenders, but he's wasting the opportunity his run creates. Yes, occasionally he survives the run and finds a target, but the left side attack could be so much more productive if he included iniesta and other open players, to take advantage of the space he creates.
