He doesn't do that, otherwise his posts would be about a hundred times shorter and he'd praise CR7.

Exactly. Except he does it. A lot. Length of posts never mean quality. And most of his long posts do boil down to why he hasn't been scoring with exxagerratted criticism like calling neymar the reason for barcas downfall :lol: and hardly takes into accounts other aspects of neys game.

You want to see Neymar at his best, take a look at his game against Celtic which was his best game this season by a mile. He kept it somewhat simple and there was a balance between his dribbles and his passes. He didn't dribble more than two guys before passing, and all of his passes and crosses had purpose behind them. How often do you see this in his current games? Now he tries to go FIFA on the enemy team and doesn't stop until he gets fouled or loses the ball, and often it looks like he just makes a risky pass for the sake of it. Yes, sometimes those fouls end up in Messi scoring, and sometimes it’s a nice way to bring the ball forward or force some cards. More often than not however, it just disrupts the flow of the game or gives possession to the enemy team.

Even if Neymar scored all of his goals, he could be so much better. At his best, like against Celtic, he makes passes and crosses that anyone and not just Messi can score from, and his decision making is much better in terms of knowing when to dribble and hold the ball and what the team gains from it. That is the Neymar I expect to see at least half the time. This season he has only played like that, or anything close to that, maybe three times.

And finally, some here say he is a key playmaker, but is he really? When he messes up 70 % of his attempts to create something, and most of them could’ve been avoided if he used his head or made a simple pass instead, he is not a great playmaker in my book. However, he will still look like a great playmaker due to his assist count, which is ironic, since some people who defend him refuse to acknowledge goal scoring as a significant problem of his. I want Neymar to succeed and he has the talent, but most of his games are not at an acceptable level according to the supposed standard set for him.

And what do your posts boil down to?

I don't mind posters like ney messi supporting neymar because they apply the same standard while supporting other players like comes and Arda. However I cannot stand somebody with double standard supporting a particular player even if he plays shit while criticising others even if they play well. But real neymar needs to standup otherwise lucho needs to bench him for Arda who is in excellent form at LW.


Pele also forgot to mention how ronaldo trains hard while neymar is busy partying.

If he just could finish, he would look like Neymar back to his best this game.

Quite poor in the 2nd half. His teammates tried to get him a goal, but he just can't finish.

^ Yeah. He isn't that bad but scoring makes him look like a noob. High time he goes back to his scoring days.
