Actually, this is where u got it all wrong, I don't hate Neymar as u making it seem, on this same thread and on the Chelsea thread, I have praised Neymar in the past, when he plays well, I say the truth, against Atletico, he messed up until he scored that freekick which I commended, u can hardly find any barca fan say anything good about Hazard.

You are the one bringing Hazard's name into this discussion, Neymar has been shitty, barca fans at the viewing centre are all saying the same.

Its only on this thread, his excesses are overlooked.

I never said Neymar has been perfect in this match. He's had a poor performance so far I agree (he just scored as I'm typing this ) but my point is; It happens. There are days like that

Hazard is a wonderful player don't get it twisted. The arguments come in when Chelsea fans say he's better than Neymar

Goal Bartra

Chelseafan1:
Can't I say the obvious about a player?? for a player who u guys claim is better than Ronaldo, he shouldn't be playing this shitty.

I don't need to compare him with Hazard, as they grow older, we wud see who wud be rated better than the other.

Just as in many matches, he losses possession, miss chances buh u guys will only come out to shout his name only when he scores.

Anybody can say a player is better than another, especially on social media. You only get to judge when professional players and governing bodies judge with awards

Your track record regarding Neymar speaks for itself so I know where you're getting at. You can keep up with the comparisons but you and I know who's better

Any player can lose possession, it's part of football but you seem to never see anything good in anything Neymar does

rozayx5:
the formation is thrash


if enrique values his lead. he better reset things by bringing in S and the engine iniesta. we need to get back to the table top. cause bilbao might steal points from madrid and vigo aint smiling

I'm sure they'll come on at one point in the second half

This forward line isn't clicking at all

Pls who is HOC

It's abbreviation for Head Of Class

Chelseafan1:
Neymar is a fool, he's been wasting chances and losing possessions.

What's your obsession with Neymar? I'm sure you want to start your Neymar/Hazard comparison again

BTW This was the same way he wasted chances and lost possession last season and scored 39 goals

This one wey you close mouth

ddippset:
you didn't answer the question bro. Iam not questioning such line up against levante at home. Very good from lucho. I just got a bit scared they were injured or something.

Substitutes :

Masip, Mathieu, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto, Gumbau, Iniesta & Suárez





There's your answer

Johnpaul88:
Roberto's breakthrough as a fullback will relaunch him to being a better midfielder. I'm certain about this. The enormous confidence he's gained from the coach and players around him in this period would see him slot seamlessly into the middle of the park when next he plays there. This is what had been lacking in his game

I hope for the sake of the team that you're right. We're really short in the middle, especially with Rafinha's long lay off

dmcdad:
And this season them never gree lose. Na Oluwa hand we dey ooooooo.

MSN go crush them

ElDeeVee:
Yeah abi na u born me ni?

Dey deceive yourself

dmcdad:
Mehn, we go find am hot on Wednesday when we go play Celta for their home oooooo. those people no wan gree at all. Make we also dey hope say that same day, Bilbao go fit help us hold Madrid for San Mames.

With the form wey Madrid dey now, e go hard oh but e still dey possible sha. I just remember say na this celta send us from 1st to 4th when dem beat us for camp nou last season

darkenedrebel:
yet the same busquets is nowhere near the name yaya toure in the football-stratum currently..

Your opinion. He's better in my opinion

you are the only one that thinks he hasn't proved himself or copped a shirt, because soccer pundits in Marca think otherwise- the adjective they used in describing him was- indispensable

They thought the same of Thiago too remember? And we both know how good thiago was. Marca pundits don't play the game, their job is what they're doing. If Roberto plays well enough to earn his respect, he'll surely get it

that's part of the reason why his improvement would be stunted. if we don't trust him with big responsibilities, how then is he supposed to develop those xavi & iniesta-esque qualities needed to boss the midfield

Lucho needs to return him back to his original role & give him more playing time... or what would happened when rafinha leaves in january?

He should know he can't just get into the first team with ease at a club like Barca. The stakes are always high so he should make good use of the few chances he gets. The manager sees more than we do, he sees them in training, so he gives the ones who deserve playing time some. Rafinha had minimal playing time last season and he did very well

ElDeeVee:
32 and 10 respectively

I say since dem born you

dmcdad:
There are different factors that play either in favour of a player or against him. If you wanna look at it from such angle, at Samper's age, why is he still playing in the 3rd division? Does that mean he aint good? Of course not. Thats to tell you that opportunities differ, and so do other factors.

Anyway, like I said, he is not as bad as some of us make him seem. Not saying he is great at midfield, but definitely not at the level some of us degrade him to be. Plus, some players can be great at a position and thats just it, some others might not be that good in a certain position, but coud be useful if not more in other positions. Such players should be appreciated too. I wonder if Roberto had not been there to cover for Dani and the other RBs, what would have happened?

Certainly, he played the Busi role last season and he did great in nearly all the matches he played in that position. I even thought that was the best that could be done with him, to make him a make-shift DM. But alas, he came this season with another surprise to debut at RB. Lets just see how things evolve. He could play in the middle against lowly teams like Levante, Las Palmas and the likes... I dont think he is that bad that he couldnt be featured in midfield against such teams.

Meanwhile, useless Sevilla dey lose 0-2 for their home against Celta. If them see Barca now, all their body go strong. Wednesday's game against Celta would not be a cake-walk. Na only God go help us ooooooo.

The few games he played last season, he never filled me with confidence TBH. He can surely improve I admit but that doesn't mean I should rate him higher than he currently plays

Yes I agree he can play against the lowly rated teams to improve his game and I hope for the sake of the team that he does


You dey mind sevilla? Yeye team. Na to dey form commando when dem meet us dem sabi

ElDeeVee:
T-Pain ni

Na him opinion him give na. You sef give your own. How many leagues and UCL madrid don win since dem born you?

darkenedrebel:
how much play-time did he get to prove himself & how old is he? all these things should be put into consideration before judgement is passed...

he's one our brightest students from La masia, so I'm quite shocked when i saw you undermining his capability of playing as a midfield.
you obviously don't know who Sergio Roberto is & what he can do when he is in his element

How much play time did busquests get to displace yaya ? That excuse is stale. He should make use of the little minutes he get to claim a shirt like rafinha did last season

We can use him in midfield of course but definitely not against the tough opponents. I judge him based on what I see him play, there's no bias on my part. Or would you say lucho is being biased for not giving him more games ?

Dani Alves fit to play against Levante

ElDeeVee:
Who cares about when dem born you??
Madrid is more successful. It'll take at least nine years before you can match their record.

Why e come dey pain you na?

dmcdad:
TBH, he is not as bad as some of us have made him seem. Maybe we expect too much from him. Think about it...

I judge a player on what I see him play, not what he can improve to be. If a player is good, there's no ifs or maybes, he's good. Rafinha is about his age and we both know he's better. Busquests and Javi Martinez at 20 were already in the Spanish national team playing against the best teams

darkenedrebel:
what are you saying? Roberto is an awesome midfielder considering his age.
he had a brilliant performance in the Catalonia vs Nigeria match.

Awesome? For real? Maybe you're talking about another Roberto. See how surprised everybody is that he's playing well at right back when he couldn't do that well at his own midfield role

onuwaje:
Since dem born me who madrid help?

Lol

Awesome01:
With the recent lack of depth in the midfield now and inconsistencies and injuries.

Which would you prefer?

Sergi Roberto moving back to midfield while Lord Douglas or Adriano having another chance at right back?

The guy (Roberto) is wack in midfield TBH, he might play midfield in some copa del rey matches sha.
Adriano at right back is not bad. Dani Alves will be back soon, and I think Mascherano will get some minutes in midfield till January.


or

Messi dropping to partner Iniesta in midfield while Sandro partners Suarez/Neymar upfront?

Ehn? No go there oh. Our beloved MSN? No matter the midfield/defensive crisis we have, once MSN is available and in form, there's a very good chance we're winning

Welcome to Funaab bro
Na to come chop your matric rice now oh

The weight of such a legendary footballing nation shouldn't be resting sorely on the shoulders of a 23 year old guy. Its just too much, and it is evident when he is not there.

If only Dunga would be wise enough to make Coutinho a cog in the wheel to work alongside Neymar, things would be more rosy than they are. Coutinho is high quality, and if you integrate a player of his calibre to the team, with Ney the engine, not to mention the likes of Douglas Costa and Hulk, they would be something else. Hulk is a very good player too, but I find it surprising that they are yet to make him an integral part of the team.

I believe Brazil have the raw materials. They need just a coach that would turn those into finished goods.

If they can get the "5-time world champions" and " the only country to have played every world cup" out of their head, Brazil would be a team to beat. They have even more skillful players who play in the Brazilian and south American leagues. The ones who move to Europe too early lose most of their skills (especially in the EPL) maybe because of the training methods. Neymar's case would've been similar if he had moved to the EPL too

marqueetim:
For me he performs better in a Brazilian shirt, just that other players let him down there, the opposite is the case in Barca.

Brazil have good, albeit overhyped players though. Oscar, Willian, Douglas, Hulk et al are gifted footballers who can win a game on their own. If Neymar had played in the 2000-2006 Brazil team, he would probably have had less pressure on himself and won a laurel

marqueetim:
Roberto Carlos said "The Neymar we see at Barcelona is his best version. It is too much responsibility for him to be Brazil's leader already," Do you agree with this?

Yes. Brazil's load is too heavy for only him to carry

homesteady:
As in ehh! We were complaining of depth and the situation is getting worse!

Ehen this Samper guy, is he not a DM?

Who be Pampers again?

dmcdad:
Na only Bartra dey fit in or your imagination? Na program?

Hehehe. You know say na the next Puyil, so e easy to imagine

philfearon:
Na wa o. Leave Bartra Na.

Na just imagination
