Of course he should be the most criticized. You think sei e easy to sit for Messi throne?
Mind you, no one can sit on Messi's throne. That throne is Messi's alone. Ronaldinho had his, and Messi didn't have to sit on Ronnie's throne, but created his own throne. If when the time comes for Neymar to finally own the team, then that wouldn't be him sitting on Messi's throne cause he ain't worthy to sit on that throne. He would only make a throne for himself, rather than sit on Leo's throne.

Dmcdad, 10d0ve.


Neymar and Suarez aren't really at their best ATM but who should be more criticized? For me I think it's Neymar. Suarez is 29, he is already getting old, if we look at his performance over the years, he hasn't been bad at all from Ajax to Liverpool to Barcelona.

My point isn't that Suarez shouldn't be criticized of course he should judging by his poor scoring form. My main point is Neymar should be more criticized than Suarez. Neymar is seen as the next heir to Messi, He's 24 and at this age, Messi had already won 3 ballon d'ors. It's high time he stepped up his game by being more serious on the pitch, scoring goals and having great impact and influence on the team even when Messi is present. Neymar is a very fantastic player, he's the best player in the world below 25. Suarez's job is scoring and nothing else, Dmcdad once said he doesn't give a damn if Suarez plays rubbish as long as he keeps on scoring and I go with that too. Neymar as the next heir to Messi should not just limit himself to scoring and making assists, he should learn to influential, charismatic and matured.

In conclusion, Neymar should be more criticized than Suarez.
Well said. But all the while Neymar has been criticised, how many times has anyone pointed or singled out Suárez? My point? Neymar is the only one getting the hammer, which I think is unfair.

You don't love Neymar as much as i do
I adore him
Against Malaga there was a particular high looping ball Thrown at Neymar...He was off balance and shouldn't have controlled the ball...Yet he produced a Zidane Esquee Turn off balance and controlled the ball brilliantly!!.. Thats Neymar
The point We are making is simple too
He should have grown far more
He's 24
At 24..Ronaldo,Messi,Delima,Ronaldihno,Zidane already had World best in their Kitty
Whereas Neymar has shouldered the responsibility of a Whole country since he was a teen and has over 50 international goals... We want him to do more and cement his place with the Greatest
Our criticism is born out of Love not Resentment or Hatred!
And I hope you know he wouldn't develop as much as he should with Messi in the team. You don't know this? Tell me you do please... Messi owns the team, and rightly so. As far as this team is concerned and as far as the club is concerned, Messi owns the team and Neymar is the number 2 man. There is a different way he plays when Messi ain't present, albeit I must admit this season's wasn't as we thought it to be. What am I saying? Don't expect much growth from him with Messi in the team, doesn't mean he shouldn't grow and improve.


As par the world best thingy, that ain't fair I must admit. He happens to be in the same era as 2 monstrous players in Messi and Ronaldo (CR7). And those guys are miles above the rest to be honest, especially taking cognizance of their consistency over the years. Meanwhile, we should also take into account the fact that at this age of Neymar today, Messi and Cristiano were far off stats-wise. Does that mean Neymar is or would be better? Nope! It just means there are different ways players develop.

Nevertheless, I don't have issues with you or anyone criticising Neymar. Heck, I have said this for the umpteenth time that he has been criticised alot recently, and deservedly so. But everyone forgets that the team generally is bad, save for Messi, Piqué-Umtiti and maybe... Just those even. But why Neymar is the only one being criticised is beyond me. Like sebod rightly stated, we criticised Messi sometime during Tata's season, and honestly, it was deserving. Although alot were on as regards off-pitch issues, but that's a different kettle of fish and would be a matter for another day. I could remember we spared him some criticisms then though, especially with his tax evasion ish. Meanwhile, Neymar has been facing same issues since he got to Barça. Could it be what is taking its toll on him? I honestly don't know and wouldn't wanna speculate either. But then, we should consider it also as a possibility. Truth be told, if we were in his shoes and we get to face these kinda issues almost on daily basis, do you honestly think we would still lace our boots every week to play football? I'm not using this as an excuse for him, but just exploring certain possibilities.

Back ro the nitty-gritty... Initially you came up with stats to backup Suarez's form, to say he hasn't been shiit. But hey bruv, stats can lie sometimes and doesn't tell the true story. Tell me, is Cristiano having a great season, an average one or a below average one? I would answer that for you. He is having a below average season, at least up till this time. Things might change tomorrow, but for now, his season is way below average for a player of his calibre. Yet, the stats, as compared to other players ain't bad if you ask me. But how about as compared to the man himself? That's the question you should have asked yourself with regards to Luisito too. Now remember, I stated it categorically clear earlier on that, despite Neymar's not-too-bad numbers, especially considering his assists tally, he has been way below his standard thus far. Did you catch my drift there? I didn't compare him against anyone, but himself. If I had compared him against the average player out there, he would have been very good, if not great. But then, he ain't the average player out there, hence, his comparisons is either with people of his quality or with himself. I expected you to reason in that light with Luisito too. If you do, you would obviously get a clearer picture of what I have been saying since time immemorial.cheesy

Bykebyke would attest to how I had complained about Rakitic this season, and also during games against his former team, Sevilla. Busi? To be honest, whether airmark or no airmark (lol) he has been way below his standard this season. But then, it's just Neymar everyone is clamouring about. But why?

I have said alot already, but I believe enough is a word for the wise. I need not go further than this.

Dmcdad is right! He doesn't even advocate 4 Ney the way he's often accused to. He puts barca first, n if you do same, you easily realize even suarez' so called hard work has only had so much negative effect (he's getting too much cards) he's missed a game already thru suspension, He's not even making dangerous movement, not creating chances, not scoring, but he's definitely fighting more
I have decided to drop this argument. There is no point arguing further. I have made my points, anyone who decide to not take cognizance of em, then that's not my problem.

I'm a Barcelona fan before any player. I am no player fan before club. I love Messi and Neymar like there is no tomorrow, but even the duo don't even stand a chance where Barcelona is. There is even no competition. I try as much as possible to be objective with my views. No one criticised Pique more than myself, Johnpaul88 would bear witness to that. But then, he is a gem in my eyes. Mascherano was an apple of my eye, but I have stated it this season how I would love Umtiti to take his place.

The reality is that, many of us here detest Neymar. It's no news bykebyke, coded01 and co don't like the dude. That's understandable. And it's also no news myself, homesteady and some others like Neymar. But does that mean we shouldn't call a spade by its name? Absolutely not!

Alot of us look for a way to criticise Neymar with everything he does or didn't do. Neymar can be childish, that's true. He can be resentful on the field of play, that's also true. But does that take away the fact that he is a fantastic footballer? Not at all. He is still growing up, and I believe with time his attitudes would change. Heck, Ronaldo would be 32 in a few months, yet he behaves awkward almost every now and then. Does that take his potential as a footballer away from him? Not at all.

Reality is, everyone can never be Messi. As cool and humble as Messi is, he is nowhere near Iniesta when it comes to being humble and cool. I am yet to see Iniesta lose his cool, at least like I have seen Messi in some few occasions. Or do I mention Kaka? Point is, everyone can never be the same. Not in any way saying Messi is bad, nah far from it... Just saying there are varying degrees of humility, and the likes. We just need to appreciate everyone in their own unique way, that's all.

I case my rest.

Suarez isn't top notch this season and its becoming obvious due to the niche he's carved for himself in 2 seasons with Barcelona
Scoring 88 goals and 43 assists in 100 games shows he contributes more than Neymar Fo Barcelona
His pressing is the reason Messi appears revolutionized recently
Suarez is the reason we counter attack with venomous pace and alacrity..add crisp if you like
Before Suarez came to Barcelona we could barely play effectively with counter attacks..Pedro,sanchez,Villa,name them were all lethargic and not as quick as Suarez
Suarez doesnt just score, He assists too Bro
Last season he had d highest assist with 16...Rivaled only By the Rabbi himself(Messi)
So for you to say Suarez doesnt offer more than Neymar is baffling
N.B: Don't get me wrong..I am not comparing them both,i am only analyzing their general contributions to the team
I am dropping this. I would have liked to react to this post of yours, but I think I'd pass.

But seriously we need to be a bit soft and sympathetic with neymar. This dude, along with messi has had a lot of legal issues, unresolved, hanging over his neck for years now. That is to kill off a player's career. But both he and messi have weathered the storm thus far. Those guys have been through a lot and the damned spanish prosecutors aren't backing down.
Walai, you don yarn well. In yesterday's match when Neymar was getting wined up by the Celtic players and even supporters, and he decided to follow suit, it happened to an extent I thought within myself that this guy is having issues inside of him that are bothering him, lest he wouldn't have gone so far last night.

I really pity the guy last night. I could sense the frustration, probably not even from the match, but from something worse, possibly the merry-go-round of cases emanating from every corner of Spain. Now aa if the existing cases were not enough, they wanna add tax evasion to it.

I mean, last season some Hazard fanboys attributed Hazard's poor form to his issue with Mourinho. I wonder if he faces half the issues Neymar goes through every now and then if he would still be a footballer.

4. If Neymar goes to Brazil today, he would likely shine and steal the show even if na just friendly but will come to Barca to serve una shiit cheesy
5. Many people want him to keep on developing, but it seems, he is dwindling


There you have it, I can go on and on. cheesy cheesy cheesy
If he is dwindling like you claimed, how come then he performs for Brazil? Do you even read what you type? If a player's performance dwindles, is it not supposed to affect him in every sphere of his play? Say something else please...

Ronaldo is the 2nd best player in the world currently, but tell me he has been great this season. As far as I am concerned, he us not having a better season than Neymar, and not even his hat-trick against Atletico would change that because one match doesn't change anything.

Of course I know where you are heading with this stance of yours, but as always, you go tire cause your boi has got nothing on Ney regardless of his poor form.

Meanwhile, Suárez and Neymar are my players and I love them both. It's just that Neymar has been criticised alot recently, deservedly so, but then everyone has kept a blind eye to Suarez's form. And whether one is 3rd best or not, it doesn't change anything. Why was Hazard criticised last season? Was it because of he was the best player in the world? Nah! Because he was far below his usual standard. Same goes for Neymar and Suárez now. Now don't even go there at all... Neymar is poor currently, but has equalled the Champions League assist tally in a single Champions league season.

Next time, come up with something more worthwhile. Else, we go tour that lane you want us to tour. Cause any day of the week, your boi no be Neymar mate.tongue

Suarez offers more than just goals to Barcelona
Suarez chases every ball
Suarez runs his ass off
Strikers experience goal draught,it doesn't mean they are out of form bro...
Neymar looses the ball more often than not
Neymar gets involved in unnecessary fights
Neymar tries to dribble 2-3 players and thus loose the ball at the expense of the team
Neymar has been far worse than Suarez this season
I disagree bruv... Yes, Neymar has been poor by his usual standards. But he hasn't been bettered by Suárez this season.

Your first line means Neymar doesn't offer more than just goals too, right? Issorait!

Your lines 2 & 3 are practically the same thing.

As per line 4, it ain't about goal drought. It's about his general play and contribution.

Line 5 -Neymar loses the ball more often quite alright, but that is also attributed to the fact that one of his duty in the team is to break or open up defence with his creative and dribbling skills. And of course, not all are successful, hence...

As per the unnecessary fights... It goes both ways bruv.

Like I said earlier on, he dribbles as part of his duty in the team. Yet, as much as Suárez defend from the attack (that's by pressing), Neymar is more involved defensively nowadays. Everyone would attest to this fact.

Neymar constantly creates chances. In La Liga presently, his successful dribbles can only be rivaled by Messi. That's part of the game. Chances created, I think he has the most presently too. That's something. Assists, he has the most in the team presently. That's something too.

Yes, he ain't on top form. Infact, he has been poor thus far, but I disagree Suárez has done better. There is a reason stats sites like Whoscored, Squawka and the likes have always rated him highly regardless of his supposed poor showing. He brings alot to the team too. Did you notice our attack became blunt when Neymar left? Why? Because Messi was always there to throw the mass, but there was no one in the form of Neymar to push it forward like he does, hence... The attack got blunt overtime.

Remember, I'm not saying Neymar is having a great season. He has been poor in most cases this season. But I have to reiterate that; he has been better than Suárez still.

Neymar deserves it most of the time, this season. But doesn't Suárez also deserve to be scolded too? Like he has been way below average even.
