It'll come out in 10 years that they were all doped up to their eyeballs. Would love to see some distance/intensity statistics for them.

Busquets's attempt at a volley

If Torres can do it at the Camp Nou, then so too can Muntari.

Barcelona are winning and so should surely be sat back defending now?

Game over man.

Pedro carded for being a typical petulant cunt.

Another brilliant strike.

Aww fuck. Niang did everything but score.

Poor Constant. Not good enough at the throw yourself to the floor if touched or likely to lose the ball skills.

Alves manhandling Constant ffs.

Milan are going to need a goal just to stand a chance of winning at this rate.

What a fucking goal.

And I hate seeing Busquets wailing.

Love a Champions League night at the Camp Nou.

Tight bottom 10 is the norm, isn't it?

IT'S A BLOW FOR THE NATION!! Really is. Damn.

Wouldn't have a problem with the comparison if the sample size for Sissoko's performance wasn't a mere 6 EPL games.

But Roma wouldn't be Roma without a skin-tight Kappa kit

He appears to be struggling because his game is all about gambling on the last man. He probably accepts that it's a fine line between getting it right and being given offside. His gambling on the last man played a huge part in winning at the weekend.

HBA insurance would have to be a creative player. We have very few options.

Correction, 3 assists in 6 games. 1 assist in every 2 games Which, of course, is misleading

I can only comment on what I have witnessed, but Sissoko's priority is to play direct into goalscoring areas with ball retention only an option if there isn't a player in such an area. Most of his attempted passes have a low likelihood of success. Stats can certainly mislead without the contextual information. There were several games last season when Tiote racked up 50/60+ passes with a near 100% pass completion rate. The vast majority of those passes were short distance and low risk.

How many of those were scored/assisted before the switch from midfield to full back?

Love this insight; sounds perfect.
