Kuro Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 About time Barca brought through some more kids too. Actually 5 La Masia graduates on the park now, well more if you include Betis players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuro Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I fucking love La Liga, what a great game to watch that was. Wouldn't open my curtains to watch 95% of EPL games if they were playing in the garden, but will happily watch every single La Liga game in any given season if possible. If you're a football fan that is as good as football gets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Kink Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Glad to see Griezmann off the mark already. An absolutely wonderful player that never gets the credit he deserves. In 2018, he was much better than Modric and deserved the Ballon D’Or. His goal record for what is essentially a wide player in such a defensive team is excellent, and Barca should bring the best out of him. His record on the biggest stage absolutely shits all over the likes of Hazard etc who people cream themselves over. Over the last 4-5 years I’d have him behind only Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar. These are the proper elite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the proper elite. Whilst I don't agree with you about him playing wide (he was through the centre in nearly every game last season, occasionally pulling wide left and moreso after morata came), I do agree with you that he deserved the Ballon d'Or last year. He was magnificent all year for both club and country. It really seemed to affect him not getting it as he was awful in the second half of the season to the point where he looked like he chucked it. He's a wonderful player right enough, but it was time for him to move on. Good performance by Barcelona last night, especially with Messi and Suarez missing. Betis don't look like they've fully adjusted to their change in style of play at all yet. Great three points for Atleti at Leganes. Slightly more expansive from Simeone switching between 3-5-2 and his favoured 4-4-2. An absolute grind but pleasing signs given they had drawn their last three visits there. Trippier involved again at the goal with a lovely ball to Felix who set up Vitolo. Vitolo really making a case for himself to replace Lemar too, he's looked sharp and is almost like a new signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messi obviously should have won it easily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 And him chucking it was nothing to do with that and everything to do with him wanting to leave the club and with for Barcelona and regretting not doing it the previous summer. Messi had double the goals and double the assists while playing in the same position in the same league (and winning the title), to suggest Griezmann should have been ranked above him is ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Kink Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Ronaldo probably should have won it that year tbh. But using the new found logic of winning trophies = ballon d’or, Griezmann should have won it based on being the best player for his Europa League and World Cup winning teams. He was better than Modric that year for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
