mrmojorisin75 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Stats definitely don't tell the story with someone like him, I personally think this is the best season of his career but the stats won't suggest that. The decision making in particular took a big leap than any other previous season IMO. Fair point. As I've said elsewhere as well that's what's set Suarez apart and made them tick for me too. Neymar is basically the selfish cunt of the three and the other two are more than willing to set him up on a plate when they can. Would like to see Neymars assists vs the other two for the season. Two less assists than Suarez with a dozen or so more goals, I think. I'm honestly shocked by the assists stat like, but then stats is stats. Suarez missed about three months of the season Well yes there's that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Neymar is definitely the most selfish of the three like. He's also the youngest by a fair margin though, that aspect of his game has time to develop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Tbf I don't think Neymar is selfish, his assists numbers are far greater for Brazil than it is for Barca and I think there's a reason for that. I think his role is just diminished in terms of general play because if they all hogged the ball it wouldn't work as there's only one ball to share around Suarez and Messi are just much better playmakers so they handle that responsibility more which leads to more assists, where as Neymar seems to me is using his pace and movement more and doesn't get involved in the build up as much. He had a lot more assists last season and I think there's a reason for that, mainly because Suarez is there now he doesn't need to be much more than a goalscorer who can dribble extremely well. Reckon if all 3 of them tried to be the guy it would all fall flat on its face as I expected it would, as of right now it all fits perfectly and all 3 have adapted in different ways to make it like that.

Geordie Ahmed Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Harsh calling Neymar selfish, think he works very well with the team and actually on many occasions he looks for Messi even when he is probably in a better position to score Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Neymar has been instructed to be more selfish. Last year he was always looking for Messi and it didn't work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year he was always looking for Messi and it didn't work. He still has a problem with that though, when he's 2 on 1 with Suarez he'll go for the finish himself but when he's with Messi he'll look for Messi. He still looks for Messi a bit too much even when Suarez is in a much better position. He'll get his fair share of assists when he starts doing that.

Mole_Toonfan Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 31 f***ing assists man. Responsible for 89 goals. That's without mentioning the million and one times he'd slip someone through who would then assist the goal or something like that. First goal against Juve was like that, Iniesta did great but his pass was the one that opened it all up. He probably has a hand in everything they do.

Barcelona gave me everything, they took a chance on me when nobody else would. I never have any desire to play for anybody else, I will be here for as long as they want me.
