Kroos is better than Rakitic.

Fuck you 4rnau.

 

[Dytza]

I forgot to mention this was made by ArnauSG not LFP

Close enough

There's only one player besides Cristiano who made it into last season's best XI.

 

[Arnau]

ArnauSG proved is very accurate.

So, 40 year-old Valerón will be back to La Liga football with Las Palmas next season. What a fucking legend.

 

[Arnau]

Yeah epic playoff final. Zaragoza won the first leg 3-1 and Las Palmas scored the winning goal when the game was about to finish.



I'd loan Halilovic to Las Palmas, they play an associative attacking football that suits him.

 

[MaSsiVe]

Even the play leading to the winning goal was dramatic...football is awesome.

Second year in a row it happens, too. Cordoba did the same thing last season.

 

[Arnau]

Playoff is awesome and extremely unfair at the same time... i mean, Girona ended up the table with 21 fucking points more than Zaragoza and the later were few minutes away to promote...

 

[Arnau]

Successful tackles in the LIGA+UCL for 14/15:

Neymar - 54
Messi - 41
Suarez - 27
= 122

Bale - 29
Benzema - 21
Cristiano - 11
= 61

Oh come on, Arnau. You know full well why that is, it's not because the Barca players are better tacklers but because the system they play in asks them to press far more than Real's. If their numbers were similar it would bode poorly on the Barca players.

I'd expect this from Xaviesta, not from you.

 

[Arnau]

Madrid doesnt press with the forwards nor they chase back 90% sure because they dont want to. Luis Enrique did a good job involving everyone in the wet work.

 

[Mandieta6]

Barca's forwards have been pressing for the past 5 years. Your stat is indicative of nothing of note, I have no idea what you bothered posting it and I am very afraid that you might be catching Xaviestitis.

 

[Arnau]

This point the attitude of one team's forwards and they other. Physically supreme CR can't run to win a fucking ball.

Tbh he's slower than ever

Exactly my thoughts.

No, it tells more about the teams' tactics.

They have been pressing for the last 5 years my ass. Remember Messi and Neymar under tata martino. Pedro is always running like a headless chicken so Alexis is actually the only one who used to press like a maniac.

Lucho deserves more credit.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Dipshit, pressing has been Barca's M.O. since Pep arrived. God damn you lack perspective, or maybe you just have some illness that wipes your memory every couple months. If so, my condolences.

 

[Dytza]

We used to make a pretty good pressing with Rijkaard too. Especially Eto'o and Giuly.
