messi is no doubt one of the very best,if not the best player in the world today,but do you honestly think he would love to play against 7-8 athleticos over 2 legs in a season?

All the Agueros Kane, Alexis Salah that are not as good as 1 Messi leg are doing it and scoring plenty goals

So I compared the season Vidic won POTY to this VVD breathtaking season, look what I found. grin

Vidic has almost double everything he had. It’s mind blowing. If anyone dare compare VVD with Vidic again, the person will receive e-knock.

That is what media hype does.

At a time they were legit comparing this guy to Maldini and Vidic

U are not actually listening to urself. Loserpool has played all those defensive teams you are referencing in your post. Loserpool play attacking football and they either wọn against them or drew against such teams.

Why exactly do you think barca will lose against such teams?

Which points wolves, Crystal palace, fulham.etc wan gain against barca? So Zaha will breeze past jordi alba like it's nothing and Andre schulre will take pique to the cleaners àbí? grin

U've got jokes bro.
well zaha breezed past city,schurrle is another story.wolves on the other hand are probably the best counter attacking team in the league.if you factor in that are a very large chunk of their goals come from the counter.
it might seem funny,bro but if there is no space to utilize in your opponents final third of the pitch scoring become difficult.
chelsea,and intermilan are good examples here.
but if you stll beleive barca would stroll to the epl title,i cant fault you as it is your opinion and well it might be true for crazier things have happened.

Say what you know. Many barca fans do not like valverde because they feel he has left the core barca style of play.

Many barca fans wanted a certain quique setien of Real betis to replace him due to the way real betis play what many felt was the barca way.

Barca fans enjoy pure, undiluted quality football. No hypocrisy there.
i actually admire Valverde,he got his tactics spot on here.knowing liverpool would go gungho.

So after watching today's match you think in all sincerity wolves will beat barca just because they play counter attacking football? Loserpool beat wolves in the league away with their counter and still lost against barca, but u think wolves will devour barca?

Wow! The same barca that has been whipping athletico for a while now?

At least we go rest. VVD is a very good CB. The best in the EPL obviously.

The hype was just too much and his praise singers need to take a chill pill.

I checked Vidic worse season for us when he played more than 10 games and I compared with this VVD season. Notice the difference even with double the minute played.

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by afrodoc2: 1:54am On May 02, 2019
VVD’s weakness is his relatively poor acceleration and response.
He is good in the air and on the ball, has good speed for his size, and his positioning is good too.

He is not even as good as Paul McGrath. Those comparing him to Maldini and Vidic were on some special Kwale weed.

I laugh in Itsekiri. Chelsea may win trophy before Hazard does at Madrid.

I'm sure after seeing that free-kick, Hazard will be pressuring Chelsea board for a new contract. He can't just go to Spain to pick up a contest with a demi-god.

Messi was an assshole when he lost an awoof pk against Chelsea and Torres later buried his team at Nou camp. So it happens.

He is still better than your kpon kpon Rudiger.

Suarez and Coutinho did the right thing by leaving Liverpool for Barca. They'd probably have still been trophyless

Neymar really killed himself by leaving Barcelona.

Bros how far? As a statistician, what is the probability of loserpool qualifying?

Very low. Barcelona has Messi, and despite being outplayed on their own turf he made all the difference yesterday.

I'm not taking the credits away from Barça but the game was lost the moment Klopp opted for a change in tactical setup to counterbalance Barça's hold on midfield play by dropping Firmino, Firmino by default is a press resistant player and his off-ball movement and spatial awareness would have proved useful in creating clearcut chances for the likes of Mané and Salah. I would have expected Klopp to sub him on immediately as Keita replacement when the latter suffered an injury. If you look closely you will notice throughout the large spell of the game that Mané and Salah were wide apart with little or no linkup play and rely mainly on scraps and highballs to run into.
Having said the above, let me briefly discuss Liverpool's backline; using Joe Gomez is understandable because he's better defensively in the RFB position than TAA but TAA is better attacking wise. Matip is underrated as well as Robertson they played their hearts out and deserv more accolades. VVD is good but failed to live up to expectations last night he's too laidback thus costing his team in crucial moments.
Overall Klopp played into Valverde's hand and the Barça coach capitalised on Klopp's naivety by subbing off Coutinho early and replacing him with Semedo this altered the dynamics in the second half.
Arturo won the game with his tireless work rate and tactical fouls.
Dembele's miss may proved costly but Messi is a living legend and is far more impactful than he is credited for.

Now that was what I was talking about. For over 10years now messi has always been the difference, he comes out of the blues does his thing and saves the day. He creates magical moments out of nothing.

You don't wish all that away in one day.

As a guard against financial ruin, I don't bet against Messi in any match he will feature. Even if it's just for 4 minutes injury time alone.

Looking at VVD stats compared to his partners in Liverpool defense, VVD has the least tackle attempted and tackle won but surprisingly he has like triple their clearance.

If we look at it closely it seems Matip, TAA, Robertson are the one doing all the dirty job while VVD just clear the ball out.

What do you think? grin

I thought Raumdeuter told us tackles were done because of poor positioning or defending.

Be that as it may, I was surprised you were using only tackles to know who did dirty jobs. What happened to aerial duel won?

That is what people who watch closely will notice, Which is why I said all those media whores who follow polling booth awards all over. Today vs their best opponent ever, VVD was the biggest let down in the defence

He was the one caught flat footed for 2 goals, he was the one running away from attackers to avoid being dribbled

Pay close attention to Robertson from last season till now, the crucial blocks he makes while our MCM is ghosting all over

Tackles are suddenly important, you are shameless.
