World Cup 2018

Costa is the guy we lack.

Yeah that is the biggest difference.

Someone who has pace, fights for ball and runs behind.

Allows more options to attacking players and more variety for Portugal to have to be aware of.

But then he does a variety of bad first touches and misses from Messi's assitance and this forum eats him alive.

The Liverpool legend enters.

De Gea again...

Is he high?

 

[JamDav1982]

Messi doesn't move off the ball as well as Silva. Not nearly the same. Coutinho is similar to Isco I agree. But Silva can play in a midfield 3. Messi could never do it.

Coutinho is better player than Isco and Messi is technically much better than Silva. Those four operate in similar areas for most part when in possession.

Biggest difference is Costa as Barca have nothing like that. In my opinion.

Costa is rather similar to Suarez imo.

There are many differences between Silva and Messi. Silva has played and still plays a lot of times in midfield, Messi is a forward, who rests a lot of time when he is not on the ball.

De Gea looking very shaky out there. Not confident.

This forum makes out Barca are shite and carried by Messi most the time anyway so all players get that.

Suarez was like Costa. Better even. He can't do it as well now.

 

[ThwiX]

DDG looks like a bombscare pretty much every time I have watched him for Spain.

Costa has a far superior first touch as things stand now.

That's the best bit of defending Pique has done in the last 3 years.... for club and country.

 

[Vilarrubi]

Thiago is one slick Motherfucker on the ball

 

[JamDav1982]

Current Suarez is not like this Costa.

Not even advocating Costa as some answer just his performance tonight is what Suarez cant bring anymore. Well not on any consistent basis.

Spains passing is unreal... It's like if your watching something unique
