  1. The five defensive players right?
  2. MBappe has scored twice today. Kid is goood.
  3. Is that the benchmark now? we need to match or better each huddersfield result. thats the benchmark. We have played one more than them though, so a win would really have helped.
  4. I hope Wes Morgan s***s all over him and breaks his legs in the processes. By the time he tries to tackle him he'll be about 10 yards away from him. No way Wes Morgan or Danny Simpson can defend Neymar.
  5. Unbelievable. Leicester in a CL quarter final. Hope they play Barcelona. Neymar to score 5 past them.
  6. Although this is nowhere near as pathetic as the PSG one though. Obviously not, but Sevilla over 180 minutes is a masterclass of bottling. PSG managed to squeeze in a century's worth in about 8 minutes. True.

  8. Pathetic penalty from NZonzi.
  9. You have to learn from the best if you want to become the best.
  10. Ref did the right thing though, not sure what Nasri is pissed at.
  11. Pathetic from Vardy. British players diving as usual
  12. Kante easily one of my favourite players.
  13. Barcelona been dependent of Neymar lately.
  14. He has only started to play well recently, been their best player for the last couple of weeks. But agree that he's been underwhelming for big parts of this season. Not trying to be biased here at all but that must be one of the best individual performances in recent time by anyone. Most of the team looked to have given up except him, and he had Meunier in his pocket since the first minute as well. His workrate had always been great, but never seen him win so many balls in the defensive end as he did. The funny thing about this is that you're saying all of this without trying to be biased. He played very well, but it wasn't a match that reflected the scoreline's suggested quality. It's not even the best individual performance from a Barcelona player in recent years imo. As always your reading comprehension is excellent. Never said it was THE best. However, it's definitely one of the better at least imo considering what was at stake. I'm not alone to believe that either seeing as both Rio Ferdinand and Steven Gerrard and few others have said the same . Also, to say it's not the best individual performance from a Barcelona player is kind of a moot point as well as there's probably only 3 other players in the world that could put in a performance like that and two of them plays for Barcelona. I don't think I've ever seen a player single handedly pull a team to such a comeback. While most players had given up by the time they conceded he was working his socks off to win the ball on the defensive end of the pitch and trying to create. You could see Messi walking about feeling like he'd lost already, and seeing Messis celebration after the Sergi Robertos goal says it all about Neymars performance last night. There's few performances I remember from players on the big stage that have been this good, the only one that comes to mind spontaneuously is that Messi going absolutely crazy against Bayern few years ago in the CL when he Boateng was left for dead. Okay, it's not even one of the best imo. I'd count Suarez in there in terms of performances as well. I dunno, I don't see it. He had some undoubtedly brilliant moments last night, but I feel like the hype over him and over the match it is way OTT, despite the result suggesting that it was this incredible display of football, when to me it wasn't. I'd be the first to laud Barca as well, but the attempts to cheat from Suarez and Neymar, and Messi being a bystander took a lot of the shine off it for me. Fair enough, don't see how the greatest comeback in CL history is too much hype tbh, but that is my opinion. Or how Messi being a bystander means anything to Neymars performance.

  16. not disputing that there were moments last night that he was falling far easier tthan he should. But the penalty is so clear I really dont understand how anyone could argue the opposite if not for pure hate.

  18. Are you serious? Meunier slips infront of Neymar bringing him down. It's as clear as it get ffs. ''You can't exactly argue you were tripped by someone's head'' One of the dumbest things ever posted on this forum.
  19. Cheating their way to victory like few other can. How exactly did they cheat their way to a win tonight? By diving, mainly thinking of the Suarez penalty call. Also worth noting that Neymar should've been sent off when he got booked. He also should've been booked a couple minutes prior for a ridiculous and blatant dive. All in a days work for those lads. Suarez penalty was a penalty, he clearly exaggerates but it's still a foul nonetheless. Look at Marquinhos legs. He ends up kneeing Suarez calf which in the momentum brings him down. No it wasn't. A pathetic dive and he should be off with a second yellow. Clearly too stubborn to watch it again and re-analyse the situation. His knee barely swipes Suarez calf and he goes down like he's been shot. It's pathetic by Suarez and pathetic of you to try and defend it. Clear yellow card for diving. Should probably give me a yellow card then as well?
