Flip Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Motta, Silva and Lavezzi were incredible. Verratti was great, got caught out a few times, but that comes with his style of play, which is just brilliant to watch at times. Wasn't Verratti's biggest fan tonight, seen him have better game. Was the weak link in midfield. Him, Cavani and Zlatan weren't very good while they were on the pitch. IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pogba, Thiago & co are nowhere near him in terms of talent IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't watch enough of Juventus to say much about Pogba but seem like two very different styles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 In games like this Cabaye is probably more suited to start than Verratti. I do think Verratti is a superior talent but as of right now Cabaye has better offensive instincts.... be it where to pass, where to make runs etc etc. Verratti doesn't have that in his game yet, but that's something that comes with experience and it will come.

IMO He seems to have split opinion tonight, seen a lot saying he was great and a lot saying he was poor. Not one of his better performances, but still found myself rather impressed with him overall. Some of his passes over the top were excellent, shame none of them came to anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Verratti wasn't at his best in the first half but he was better in the second when he played at a higher tempo. His style of play isn't always suited to being as deep as he often plays like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Lucas should be going to the world cup, no ? Probably not. Not performed well enough and Bernard is Scolari's little love-puppet. (understandably as well, plays always very well for the national side). Expect Willian, Oscar, Ramires, Hulk and Bernard to be called up with Neymar, Fred, Jo and then Paulinho, Fernandinho, Luiz Gustavo and Hernanes. Could possibly if we opt for one LB only since Luiz Gustavo and Dani Alves could play that position if Marcelo breaks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Swedish football fans are so fucking small time man it's unreal. Every bar that shows football tonight will have been packed with Zlatan-fans cheering on PSG. The first bar I went to, when Lavezzi scored, I thought it was the world cup and Sweden had just scored, it was that mental. Grow the fuck up and support a team, not a player. As for the game, stupid move from PSG to start defending as soon as they scored, but they did really well in the second half and deserved the win. Lavezzi is such a lovely player to watch, must cover an insane amount each game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I would take Lucas if he had been playing well constantly but sadly he hasn't as you always want players like that too well as they get you off your seat. Needs to be playing like that regularly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen you (and others) say plenty of times that Moura hasn't been good enough this season. For me, he's one of those players that whenever I see him, which admittedly isn't often, he looks a great player. Probably very inconsistent, and I would assume not being a regular starter won't do him any good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's been terrible for the national team as well as inconsistent when playing one game and then not playing the next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised jo is going to the world cup, to be fair he did have a good confed cup last year but i thought maybe leandro daimao would be ahead of him, I have heard bernard has got excellent potential, In all honesty i need to seriously watch more copa libertadores but it's always on 2 or 3am on bt/espn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a player Scolari will take with him because he offers another dimension to his game unlike the others we have, but I don't expect him to start if Fred break down.

Nobody Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Will it be Thiago Silva and David Luiz at CB for Brazil, Felip? What's your expected/preferred starting XI? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Will it be Thiago Silva and David Luiz at CB for Brazil, Felip? What's your expected/preferred starting XI? Yeah. I don't expect any changes from the team in the Confed unless someone gets injured. Can see David Luiz moved towards midfield if Luiz Gustavo suffers an injury even if we have Fernandiinho, just because Scolari will want the DM to have some height and go down in defence to act 3rd CB at times when the fullbacks push on. Only change I could see happening is Ramires playing instead of Paulinho if Paulinho keeps sitting on the bench for the Spurs.

Adriano declined when his father died, he lost all sense of life and all sense of his talent and gift he'd been given at birth. Started to re-involve with gangs and alcohol. Lost the plot completely. Is at At. Paranaense now trying to get back. But seems like a lost cause. As for Adryan, I don't expect him to become much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
