Xiaomi is doing everything right.

Can't wait for February to come with Note 7 Pro with it.

me too, I started saving for note 7 then I heard there will be note 7 pro, so I'll just wait. By May, do have an idea of how much the 4gb ram version might be?

Adiwana:
I dont get excited of us signing anybody again because I know Valverde with his poor man management,lack of rotation will relegate anybody we sign to the bench.De Jong will come in,will be frustrated with lack of game time which in turn affect his form on the pitch.And before you know he will be called a flop.And with that little chance he will get,he will not turn up because the pressure and lack of confidence will heavily affect him.Next turn is to plan selling him to PSG.smfh

sometimes before typing offpoint think and watch Barca matches. Our midfield is chosen to offer support to the attack while offering support to the defense. Busquets, Rakitic, Vidal and Arthur do this effectively, and these three are better than Rafinha, D Suarez and even De Jong. But excluding Arthur all of them are above 30. So answer me this, will you sacrifice winning results on the altar of squad rotation??

hmm, nobody is blaming Valverde for Coutinho's travails. Coach has provided him with everything to thrive

paule:
Messi scores the 3rd goal with his weak (right ) foot. Where will Barça be without this genius of a player?

where Madrid is not. Finally Guardiola left, we didn't collapse, Xavi left, we didn't collapse, Iniesta left we didn't collapse, Neymar, Ronaldinho etc, we didn't collapse. Messi will go too and we won't collapse. Instead Malcolm will be man of the half decade

Tshabalala say hi na?

paule:
We are screwed when Messi retires... The team was without form & void till he came in & sparked the game.

actually we will be better than Madrid

Kingsley10000:
he can't perfectly fill that neymar's space or replicate what he has done for the club...its just putting a square peg in a round hole...dembele is an awesome player no doubt but he still has a very long way to go and alot of development....the only thing going for him is his speed,where he's lagging behind is he isn't as creative as sane,mbappe,drauxler,neymar etc

na wa o, just go to Enyimba fc thread

well coach saw that Coutinho was experiencing some resurgence and gave him a run of games. So we can see for ourselves, Valverde was never the problem. The problem was the players, first Dembele, then Vidal now Coutinho. But I feel he has vindicated himself enough. Well Malcolm...

Ozkar:
I'm actually enjoying our matches lately. I get this sweet warmth inside seeing players like Lenglet, Arthur, Dembele, Alena improve drastically. I'm looking forward to our game today. I hope Coutinho plays and has a great game to silence critics and end doubts.

I feel for Malcom.

Malcolm was an unfair display of financial might to Roma. However another way we can look at is, our first choice pure winger is Dembele, who is good at the left and right flanks. Then we have Coutinho who is more imaginative, a creative force and can work those half spaces efficiently and plays between the right back and the right center back allowing Alba to overlap and handle the right back.

Malcolm is being benched by two exceptional footballers, and the coach trusts their performances as both offer him pace and unpredictability, Dembele and guile, finesse and creativity, Coutinho. Malcolm is a plan C, when all are injured, only then can Malcolm play.

Excallibur:
Come to think of it , we dont hold possesion like before, is this a tactical change? Are we playing more direct football ? Are we finding it dificult to keep possesion like before ? Should this be a cause for concern

as matches start we dominate possession with percentages as high as 65%, and play a high defensive line, then we score and then Arthur is removed and possession drops to 55% or lower. And then we start using counter attacks as our defense also drops deep. Simple sense, our defense doesn't handle counter attacks too well, so its better we sit deep especially when Semedo/Roberto and Alba are not so energetic than allow one wicked small boy to embarras Pique in a foot race.

Eleniyan15:
I'm not saying our boys are bad, I just want us to keep working on it because when we meet a more tactical all they need is to press us more from 65min then we would definitely drop point, that game against TOT exposed us.

If you noticed when Manchester United scored against Tot, the manager and crew were very happy because they know this boys so well. Yesterday match it was
still the same.

Let blame MOU our players are not use to that kind of tactics I hope they catch up very fast

Please exclude Shaw, his a good player but fond of waiting for ball to meet him you can't do that against very fast player like mbappe and co.

Shaw will chase Mbappe and catch him, even Koulibaly (slower than Shaw) caught Mbappe

Olamyyde:
Busi is the best Dm barca has ever had period!

Guardiola was just an above average Dm for barca and does not have half the silverware busi had as a player.

uh who coached Busi to being the best DM Barca has ever produced? Guardiola.
What wing did Guardiola play? DM.
Also remember Busi started young unlike Alonso or Fernandinho or Lahm who were established DMs before they worked with Guardiola. So what makes you think Busi is better than Guardiola? Besides its not like Busi's work at the base of midfield is so glaring like that of Kante, Casemiro or Fernandinho

Shittaakeem:
What is the essence of face without front or back?

true, and Miss Scarlett has good boobs and a nice ass. Unlike Gal Galdot.

Eleniyan15:
Who else notice when it 65min upward our team doesn't press well anymore, this could make us loose point with more tactical and stubborn team.

It almost cost us the game against Tot, thanks to de gea who saved us .

Maybe it MOU effect on the team, United hasn't be playing high pressing game all week suddenly changes occurr, I just hope they adapt as soon as possible.

oga pressing takes energy, that's why for it to be successful, the team must score goals quickly then retain possession for the remainder of the match. But remember gen gen pressing needs high energy levels, energy levels that just Rashford, Lingard, Herrera and Shaw can maintain in this team.

this picture of Scar Joh, has trumped Gal Gadot o, that chest is not here.
But we are African men na, we don't always follow face, we follow curves!! Curves complete a lady o...

please let's not involve ourselves with an unnecessary argument with mr Zedoo. He watches Barca matches so his good

Olamyyde:
Guardiola does not deserve to be above busquests because he wasn't better trophy or ability wise.

Ability wise?? Whollup, Guardiola promoted Busi to the first team over Yaya Toura and Keita, established DMs, not because he was full on better than them but because what Guardiola wanted to establish, Busi had it. Cryuff the greatest manager in Barca history played Guardiola, Guardiola the next greatest played Busi in the exact same wing he played when he was still active. What makes you feel then that Busi was better than Guardiola??

My Barca all time 11
Antoni Ramallets

Elnino4ladies:
How Iniesta better than Lampard Don't tell MOTM shiit

its not just man of the match ish, why do you think Modric won Ballon D' or when 2nd to 6th all outscored him or had more assists than him? Some midfielders just sprinkle excellence on the field. Modric, Pirlo, Iniesta and others. Lampard might have outscored them but all three offered some things Lampard didn't

airmark:
Iniesta was also not quite like Lampard. So?

ok

redmi note 6 pro users, there are more custom roms for you. Xda developers have smiled on you guys

madrid5:
you dey think,this is why many people talk about iniesta so much it only buttresses their point.

Chelsea has had many legendary players but none in the ilk of Iniesta. Lampard was a better goal scorer, Makele was a better defender, Essien was the box to box king, Fabregas was an excellent deep lying playmaker, and so many others, but none is quite like Iniesta.

Coutinho14:
so we are just gonna pretend like Busquets ain't a top ten player? ok

Before Busquets started playing that role, Guardiola played it under Cruff, that deep lying playmaker that also screens the back 4. Guardiola played it, Busquets is playing it now. Oya, your own top ten let's see.

hensben:
Better team on paper. Spain consist of champions of ucl and wc. Btw, I am talking of when iniesta was at his peak Spain was the best team in the world.

currently Hazard is at his peak, yet we still can't compare him to Iniesta. Just leave the comparison ish, compare Hazard with Neymar or Mbappe or Salah or Mahrez

madrid5:
the reason why I join arguments like this is double standards, if stats are what truly say how good a player is without watching games then we should use if for all players,not the ones you don't like.

finally stats are not everything, in Ozil's time in Spain, he had more assists than Xavi and Iniesta combined, but if you are to choose between Iniesta, Xavi or Ozil, no right thinking footballer will choose Ozil over any of them
