Busquets has been absolutely outstanding so far! Top-notch passes.

Best performer so far bar Messi, of course.

Seconded This new formation by koeman has taken a lot of defensive responsibilities from him so now we are seeing his more technical side

I hope Messi gets another goal. It's been a while since he scored a hat trick.

This is not fair sha

ThierryJay:


If we are to go by stats. Shebi Neymar has surpassed Ronaldo De Lima's number of goals for Brazil na. Why are you not saying he is kukuma better than or comparable to the Phenomenon? Or that he is even better than Pele when he surpasses Pele's goals record for Brazil (just about 7 goals to break Pele's record I believe)

;;;!!!!



Guy, you are mixing lies and half-truths and using it to promote this your laughlaug;;! agenda.

Who told you Messi has never got more than a 9.5 overall rating on Whoscored when he has got SEVERAL 10.0 ratings in the past

Even since 2015, Messi has had way more total number of assists than Neymar so how could you say Neymar matched Messi on a creative level??

You say Neymar had his best dribbling statistic in his first season in France, why wouldn't he when he went to a lower quality league? But how do you know that Messi has never reached an average 7.1 dribbles per game? Need I remind you that during Messi's best dribbling years between 2007 - 2009, this statistic was not being compiled as at then. In the four years that Neymar spent in Barca and La liga, he only topped the dribbling statistic twice while Messi also topped it twice. So how was his dribbling statistic better than Messi's when they were in the same league?

Are you telling me that if you have the option of having a prime Ronaldinho (2003 - 2006) in your team and Neymar of any time, you'd think twice before making a choice? I can't recall Neymar being ever nominated for Ballon D'or or Fifa World Best, meaning that he is still an unfulfilled potential like Hazard. That is who you are comparing to a Ronaldinho who ruled the world for 3 years as its supreme player and who some fans even believe is the GOAT.

Statistics is not always the best yardstick for assessing players especially if they are in different positions/eras. Of course you can always compare any player. Indeed nothing stops you from comparing Pius Ikedia with Diego Maradona since they are both players. But then, that's where the comparison ends.

Go and ask Ronnie for forgiveness bro.

Stats comparison, ronaldinho v neymar(opta)

Dribbling: ronaldinho(Barcelona)(ucl 2004-2008) 112 dribbles in 2993 champions league game =3.37 per game

Neymar(Barcelona)(ucl 2014-2017) 176 dribbles 3407 cl minutes =4.6 per game
Ronaldinho dribbles world cup 2006=2.8 dribbles per game
Neymar 2018 world cup=4.4 completed per game
Neymar ucl dribbles psg 147 completed in 2132 cl minutes=6.4 per game
I don't care what anyone says now,neymar is a superior dribbler at any level,league,ucl,world cup against any opponent,it's not even close anymore, ronaldinho wasn't even the best dribbler in his team let alone in the world ,a fully fit neymar since 2016 has never been outdribbled by anyone,not even messi.
Ronaldinho averaged 2.1 key pass in 2005(2.1) per game,but guess what lampard averaged more, ronaldinho wasn't even the best playmaker in the world in the world cup.
Now let's get this straight from 2016-2018(world cup considered)no-one has had more key pass than neymar
Neymar2016/2017(most key pass),2016/2017(most key pass)2017/2018(all time key pass ratio 3.5) per game 2018 world cup 24 key pass(4.per game
Ronaldinho cant beat neymar in deep stats,it's not a comparison,all I spilling is pure,pure fact and that is why still being a superior GOALSCORER,ballond'or or not,it doesn't change the fact that neymar is a superior GOALSCORER, playmaker and dribbler
Well for comparison here are other players stats
Cr7(2003-2009)ucl 189 dribbles completed in 4277 cl minutes =4 dribbles per 90 min
Lionell Messi Barcelona 639 dribbles in 12152 cl minutes=4.7 completed per 90minutes
Eden hazard (for Chelsea)153 completed in 2928 cl =4.7 per game
These are world class dribbler on par with anything ronaldinho can offer,neymar standard is just crazy,neynar had a bad game against Belgium in the world cup and still created 7 chances in that game(that is the level neymar is right now) even when he has a bad game ,he is still a dominant creator and dribbler,13 dribbles completed against real Madrid 2017/2018 round of i6,15 dribbles completed against Juventus 2016/2017 quaterfinal against two of the world best team and yet he was still adjudged to have a bad game,please if you Know can you show me any game was a dominant dribbling threat against a big team as neymar was in this two game,at the end of the day minus the showboating,neymar is the closest player in this era to messi that is a devastating dribbler,world class playmaker and yet still a prolific GOALSCORER
It's not a myth,just me spilling pure fact.;!

Koeman vex for Mingueza sha.

I wonder what he did,
He had a good game

As usual Koeman with his God-tier Confusionism.

How Puig remain for touchline still dey give me wonderment. With all that dead midfield after Busquets was taken off and De Jong to defense, baba still decide to let vendetta decide the game. Smh. **Facepalms***


This guy no fit win us Champagne lai lai, no be Curse. How Roberto and Pedri tey for that field still dey surprise me.

cumz:

He wasted a good pass from Messi where he was through on goal at 3 vs 2...

Busquets played the whole game. Get your facts right

Kilishihunter:

I wasn't surprised when he did anyway,I would have been surprised if he actually played it.

The strange and unusual substitutions from Koeman in the second half changed the whole game..

cumz:

I guess it was when he had the opportunity to shoot and maybe score when the game was at 3-2, instead he gave a very bad return ball to Messi, thank God he's vocal about this nonsense pass to Messi and generally not shooting tactics.

Both team scored an own goal,both team scored from penalty spot, crazy match if you ask me.


Btw,is Koeman a cleric,y he dey always wear those evangelist suit na

Omo Messi is the most selfless player in the world

Una don start.

When una play Madrid, we no hear all these noise o

Kilishihunter:

Him dey craze.

Wetin him dey give Griezman pk for?

Did Griezman tell him that he's lacking in confidence?


Mtcheew

But why is such gesture like the penalty offer from Messi to Griezman not recorded as an assist?

I mean, what better assist than giving a penalty you're supposed to take, to a team mate in need?

FIFA needs to look into this.

Wow

This La Liga is something else


Between Athletico, Barca and Madrid, anybody wey drop points again from now na OYO.
