He is not that good, at least not for us in that position. He had a good game because of the inferior opponents, he'll get exposed when we play him against better teams with better wingers. So it's either we get a new RB, which i strongly recommend, or continue with Sergi Roberto

Sergi Roberto hasn't been world class there recently.

Both should be used..

In the little chances Vidal has gotten..He has impressed.

Debroslink:


It's called the law of diminishing returns. Can't you see we are depreciating since then?

We are integrating a lot of new players into the system. These things are not always as easy as we would like to think.

The road has been set for us to destroy that useless Aneota stadium!

jpmoriarti:
Vidal must continue to work hard so he can completely earn the coach's faith. One good match is not enough.

Andre Gomes too


Maybe they're just not as good as we thought

It's like telling Messi to play the role of CM. He will do well there, but that's not his best role.

Roberto should come back to his natural position. He's better than Rafinha, Dennis and Gomes.

I'm yet to see Vidal play against a decent team because my coach will not even try it.

Debroslink:
I need us to embark on a winning run this year if we have any hope of winning another treble.

Well, it's good there's still a good number of inferior opponents to play

Aleix Vidal is trending on Twitter..Worldwide.

Hypocrite! Must it be Neymar?

That what?

dmcdad:

Really? I no see am oooo. Him no get name?

LOL, go see Doctor den

Debroslink:


Anytime you come here and troll Neymar, we all know your intent which is to place your Idol above him.

And no matter how hard he tries, he only ends up putting him below Neymar.

Since it's even 2 legged tie, they can do their routine agidi in their home, and then come for sure thrashing @ camp nou. Nothing spoil

Which One? Native or Medical Doctor?

Debroslink:


I'm not into digging old posts, else I would have brought some here. I've never been an advocate of Enrique's tactics. Just that I don't campaign against him everyday like Mr Bykebyke.

Ohh you mean say you no be politician like bykebyke? Okay...

Hazaaaarddddd assist king!!!!! !!!

That's because he didn't impress enough against the inferior sides he faced. You probably didn't see him during the pre-season when "old" James Milner became spectacular against him


We can do better jare

dmcdad:

Yes!

And that's why some of us here shoot ourselves on the foot. In the Iniesta-Lampard comparison, our stand has always been that goals scored doesn't tell the story, hence Lampard ain't no where near Iniesta albeit he has scored far more goals. But when it comes to Arda-Neymar, all of a sudden goals scored becomes the litmus test and the deciding factor. Are we not hypocrites then?

Each time a barca fan tries making that Neymar/ Arda comparison I just dey weak...Arda that's very clueless on the ball, he keeps turning back to pass to alba...he can't even stretch defenders

It's better to keep a blind eye to such misguided comparisons.

Messi ticks off Las Palmas to match Raul´s LaLiga record

14 January 2017

Lionel Messi added another landmark to his vast array of achievements as his goal in Barcelona's 5-0 battering of Las Palmas saw him match Raul's record of scoring against 35 different opponents in LaLiga.

The Argentina superstar scored one of the easiest goals of his astoundingly prolific career when Las Palmas goalkeeper Javi Varas spilled Rafinha's cross into his path for a simple tap in.

That goal made it 2-0 early in the second half at Camp Nou in a match dominated by Barca, with Luis Suarez's double and goals from Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal completing a comfortable afternoon.

Messi had not previously scored against Las Palmas in LaLiga and in doing so he joins Real Madrid legend Raul atop the list of goals against different top-flight opponents.

Las Palmas were just one of four teams to have never conceded against Messi in LaLiga, but that list now sits at three with Cadiz, Murcia and Xerez - who are all no longer in the top flight - boasting that claim.

Our thread is a bit silent today because bykebyke has got little to whine about Enrique. I am beginning to think he's happier with Barca drawing or losing, so he'll have a lot to complain about.
