Nike

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.

You see how players voted right??? They all voted for their teammates and friends..... Or maybe the fact that cr7 gave alves the captain votes so alves can vote for cr7, lol.... cr7 won the award because he bitched about the award and for some reason they extended the voting right after he put past 4 against sweden in a playoff game...

Marlon brando going to kill you guys now......

Doesn't matter... This guy is better than both of them... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_C9CsERXnE

Actually, every professional footballer thinks Messi is a better player than cr7.... cr7 so called form is due to him taking 10 shots a game. And in football terms, no their natural ability is at 2 different levels... One knows had to dribble at players, the other excels at useless stepovers. Something, Neymar has in his repetoire sadly... Scoring goals is not being better, if that was the case, lampard would be the greatest cm ever when everyone outside of england and even outside of london disagrees.

Neymar is at 9 goals in 8 games after coming back from his big injury being option number 2-3...... Messi at that age was option 1 and the team revolve around Messi... Messi is still probably always going to be the overall better player, but it wouldnt surprise me if Neymar beat both cr7/messi single year record...

I've been waiting for this game for months..... I doubt Di Maria will be 100 percent, which means they will longball everything tomorow..

Easy. Rojo/evans vs costa. HATTRICK!

Not really. Messi is better finisher, but cr7 has better power, which allows him to take all those long shots from the left and long fks..... But I agree, it shouldnt even be a question who the better player is.... Doesnt really matter because the real ronaldo is better than both of them.

its the opposite. Messi to me is the best player in his generaton, but you should look at the thread in most controversy. I am definitely not a messi fanboy, but Messi is better than cr7

Neymar now has 8goals in 9 games, 0pks.... After coming back from his injury in the world cup.... When neymar beats both messi and cr7 record, I hope the same people that said messi and cr7 in the greatest of all time conversation, says the same argument for neymar since goals>better.

Because bale and cr7 are automatics and they need to fit both cesc and hazard on the team, so they need to drop modric and james.. Anyone can tell you that modric is better.

I counted 8 counters he messed up..... If willian messes up 1-2, this board wants his head.... Cr7 can never be a great of all time primarily because of this. His passing is terrible and he needs 10 shots to score 1-2 goals a game, which is why for portugal he sucks balls because on portugal he can never get as many opportunites as he does for madrid... On redcafe.. He was Barcelona's best defender today. Broke up more Madrid attacks than Pique and Mascherano

to an extent its true.....what your saying... However, that means that players in the next generation should be better than both messi/cr7 as well.

true. However, Modric is no slouch with chances created and his longshot ability is world class... He would also do set pieces...

Actually, I never said Kroos..... I said modric, isco and james... Kroos i dont believe in and Kroos will be the reason why real madrid lose going forward. So, basically the point in the combined 11 thread everyone put hazard as cam, but in reality james/oscar would start over them in a combined 11 for balance purposes... Modric has looked fantastic since carlo became manager... Not one game and Modric will always start over Cesc... At barca, at madrid and at chelsea. Also, if madrid looks fantastic against barcelona, it is relevant to show how their team allowed 0 goals this season? No understand? The possession football they do, allows their goalkeeper more opportunites for clean sheets.... The fact is modric and company took out their midfield.... Which gave them opportunites to counter so many times... Mainly James/Modric.... Rewatch the liverpool game, Modric took out their whole midfield without breakin much sweat...
