Midtable player on a midtable team... Sterling has nothing similar to cr7. cr7 is a physical beast, who is 6'1 and about 180lbs with rocket launchers for legs... While Sterling is a small and frail english player that has immense speed and good dribbling ability. Their is absolutely nothing similar with these 2 players, now if you said walcott and lennon...

Zidane also said something similar to gourcoff and look how great he became...

close. I rated adebayor the same level I rate Lukaku. However, before James went to madrid, i was always high on James (not the whole after the world cup like most fans). James, would be the better player with cr7 and bale than hazard would be. Just like how invisible hazard looks with belgium, hazard would look invisible with bale/cr7... James is a better version of Oscar without the superb tactical awareness...

Pique always played well against cr7, however, I personally dont like Pique....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXL18LBBQzQ K... Hazard would definitely start over James or we can just rewatch the world cup.

Dont really know what oscar role was today. Seem to be in the back or on the wings more than playing cam. Im guessing jose told him to.

So ivan, cesc and hazard over carvalaj, modric and james? K

No one cares. Go keep posting oscar should be dropped.

Ummmm. No. I got warning points. Stats all you go for. Keep giving me stats

Cry. Like you always do. Stat man.

Don't cry mr stat man. Just smoke some ganja.

You kids look at stats too much. Modric dominated both liverpool and barca. Cesc was sold by barca, thiago left. .. huge difference.

THIAGO ALCANTARA LUKA MODRIC

lol. Messi was going to leave barca years prior, but didnt.... I highly doubt Messi will stay at barca for another 7 years.... Also, the point was goalscoring, not being a better player... Neymar has everything to beat both cr7/messi. You say Messi had to accommodate everyone, but in reality he didnt... The offense still revolved around Messi and even in argentina, it was aguero that had to accomodate Messi, which is exactly why aguero sucked balls in the world cup and the exact reason why Tevez is not getting called up for Argentina..

So, you definitely didnt watch barca, because messi rarely played on the wings and shafted zlatan during those years...... MEssi didnt have to accommodate anyone, everyone had to accomdodate messi... (HENRY, Zlatan, and even Villa) Messi hasnt had to accomodate anyone since Ronaldinho.

WOW... its fellaini, mata and blind??? Chelsea dont need cesc to play midfield than... rambo can take their whole midfield by himself.

FAB.... But its modric and james/oscar for me..

Neymar has a ton of attributes that will make him a successful goal scorer for barca.. Hes fast, hes quick, hes technical, hes a diving douche, and for his petite stature his shot power is quite amazing.... I would say neymar is already a better fk than Messi or anyone on barca right now... He's dribbling is one of the best even though he has a lot of cr7 useless stepovers in his repitore, the only thing that will really prevent neymar is injury concerns and his weight/strength....

it does... One big thing you forget is that Barca is NIKE... Neymar is going to be the next face of NIKE. What Nike wants, barca will do because the more money they will get... Meaning neymar will take all fks, pks, be the center eventually for barca... Messi cannot score as many goals as neymar on the wings, but I bet neymar could do the same given his position in the middle and the freedom messi has... Doesnt mean neymar better, but the goalscoring ability of neymar is easily possible to beat the record and the fact that neymar is a diving douche as well.

La liga record is beatable.... Give neymar free kicks/pks and make him the center of the offense, I bet he can beat it... Let neymar play the full 90 against scrub teams so he can boost his stats... from pks, he can get 5 goals from fks, he can get another 5 goals... Neymar already has scored his la liga amount from last year...

why not schurrle/cesc false nine and rambo in the midfield>

I disagree. I think hazard has reached his ceiling as well at a young age and wont improve as a player. He may get better stats, but attributes wise, I dont see him getting better? What do you think he can improve and will improve? Hazard is at his physical peak right now and dribbling wise is one of the best in the world... Don't see much improvement as I always said about Lukaku even though he was like 18-19 at the time.

Correction. Ronaldo at his peak is better than Messi, but Messi is better than Cristiano. I still think ronaldinho at his peak is better than Messi and even though Messi won a lot for barca, a lot of barca fans still feel the same way about r10vs messi. On a side note, this guy should of been the king of the world... This guy in pes had a 100 shooting power stat back in 06. This guy was cr7 with proper technique/skill.

hopefully he is given the start today...

Sergio didnt really decline... Its the fact that xavi and iniesta did and pep is no longer their manager..... Sergio worked well when xavi was at his peak, but now neither xavi nor iniesta can control the game as good as they use to, sergio is exposed quite a bit.... Even though they had dynamic dms/cms in both mascerano and yaya, they chose sergio because he work out better at this time. However, like Spain, Sergio will be dropped eventually.
