Haha...obviously? Gtfo.

PS worst choice here is Busquets.

United should really stop buying wingers and try to buy some central midfielders. How long are you going to rely on giggs and scholes? United seems to be in some deep trouble right now though, especially with their owner. If it weren't for fergie, this roster might not even make top four in epl. I really think once fergie is gone, this team will become utter crap unless mourinho decides to come.

You know what got me thinking the other day? How many players in the epl as a whole would actually be first team members at barca or real? I can only think of bale and rvp so far. Rooney? I'd definitely take messi over him, and i'd probably take benzema over him. food for thought

You're right, finishing level on points with a team who have infinite money is "deep trouble". A good team is one that is greater than the sum of its parts. Stop wumming.


No thats a good league team it will only get you so far and you will over perform only so long, some shaking up is i order unless winning the pl or league cups is all you care about. Even then the lack of quality will catchup to you, despite fergi tme and 12th men..

2 defeats? Really? In 126 freaking games? Each and every time I see some new stats for him my mind is truely fucked.
4th Balon incoming.
So there you have it, that's why pep didn't rest him(not that messi would agree if pep wanted to anyway), he knows how big of an influence he is.

If I were a manager with Messi on my team I would put him on the pitch regardless of his fitness. In fact even if he had two broken legs I would still put him on the field to lie there and give moral encouragement to everyone. He would probably find a way to score too.

I kinda have to agree with Busquets being top class. I like him even over Iniesta, who is more flashy but less solid.

Also Mascherano as CB is probably the best one in La Liga. I'm really impressed with him this year, doing even better than Piqué and Puyol.

Busquets is definitely one of the best DM in the world, arguably the best.

Doesn't matter if you hate him or not, he's a great great player on his position.

You can't play like Barca does without an awesome defensive midfielder. Part of the success of Barca (and Spain fwiw) is definitely Busquets.

imo Busquets is not even in the top 10 of DMs in the world. He plays well in Barcelona because they like tiki taka players in all positions. Again imo he actually is no better at playing the DM position than people like Song, Parker, Cambiasso, Gustavo...and he is no way near on a par with Touré in terms of what he can bring to a team. Twisted would you seriously take Busquets in your 'imba team of the year'? Or are you just de facto defending a Barcelona player because your middle name is Barcelona?

And in terms of Busquets v Iniesta...you honestly can't be serious. It's not even remotely close.

Man all those Barca fans calling Busquets world class again, he is one of the most overrated players in the world.

Barca stopped destroying the opposition once Toure left, says enough imo.

Busquets and Iniesta play very different roles and I would have agreed on Iniesta being the best any other year.

This one tho, Busquets has been a beast and we missed him hard whenever he wasn't playing. We can replace Iniesta with some other guys but Busi's job has no replacement in our squad.

Watching all the Barça games helps to realize that

That is a really stupid stat to use.
Of course if a player scores you have more chance to win. If ANY player scores you have more chance to win.
That's a useless stat that shows nothing.

You know Paul Robinson has a 100% win rate when he scores? Must be the best player in the world then!

I think it's more to illustrate how much Barca rely on messi to perform. They essentially set there team up so that if messi plays well, they win.
