Kevin Strootman is extremely underrated as well.

Completely agree..... a massive reason why Roma have started so well, i can now see why Red likes him so much. hmm

Enyeama should be included. Was the key figure in ending Monaco's unbeaten streak and has only conceded 4 goals so far this season.

Still playing like a beast for those that actually watch him.

Since he returned, he was pretty poor in his first games back. Pretty irrelevant against Madrid, his passing and shooting was off. He was brilliant against celta vigo, but still not completely right, his shooting was still not right and he was on full greed mode cr7 style. Didn't see espanyol, but heard people were critisisng his performance again

Must shout out for Verratti as well who has been excellent for PSG this season. Was going to include him on my bench but Totti >>>>

Right, so he played 4 games, 1 brilliant, 1 bad one and 2 average ones. What about the other 13 games of the season, most of which he has been his usual self at?

Yeah but you said "still playing", I took it to mean current form

Messi
Ribéry - Raffael - Sam
Ramsey - Sahin
Rodriguez - Lucarelli - Naldo - Großkreutz
Agassa

Unless "you can show me better [sic] argument than rating [sic] composed from every single minute of every player, over 200 different recorded statistics, each one valued on the researched perception how [sic] it affects the game, without any bias what so ever", this is the European team of the season.

Champions League, the same story. Injured, unfit, out of form, regressed Messi, still world's best player. :coffee:

Just take the best players for the best teams so far:

- CR7
- Neymar
- Costa
- Ibra
- Ramsey
- Hazard
- Suarez
- Ribery
- Lewandowski
- Totti
- Vidal

Those have to be the top players of the season so far... of course, it's fluid.

by free_cat Thu Nov 07, 2013 4:10 pm

Insisting that Neymar has been better than Messi won't make it true and makes you all look like fools.

Why are Barca fans offended some neutral fans believe Neymar has been better/more consistent this season?

I think people are a little bit confusing level with expectations.

Messi is playing at a higher level than Neymar.

Neymar has probably exceeded many's expectations or at the very least matched them...meanwhile, Messi probably hasnt met everyones expectations. Incredibly high expectations that he created, importantly.

by sportsczy Thu Nov 07, 2013 8:20 pm

It's not a question of the highest level Dani... of course, when Messi is on, he plays at a higher level. But how often does he bring it this year? Does he show full effort consistently? That's why i rate Neymar higher this year... he brings it every time he plays. He may not always succeed; but you never feel like he's dogging it out there. Can't say the same with Messi.

And that's just as important as talent imo... this is a team sport. As the best player, you're supposed to set the example for the club and your teammates.

To me, Neymar has done that far more than Messi. He brings that energy level to go with his skill... it boosts the entire team.

I feel Messi seems a tad unmotivated and blasé for whatever reason since the start of 2013...
