Di Maria lost a lot of balls and looked lost. I'm not saying he should be sold ffs, why can't I call him out for playing poorly? Because that's exactly what he did.

Completely disagreed there, Ronaldo's influence was very low and you would not have been blamed if you hadn't noticed him in the first half at all.

turning into chad? , you clowns tell me more about higuain "the spirit of madrid" has he fluffed his chances and cost us cl final or better ozil "zidane heir" getting gassed by 60 mins and missed his chances too, but you all gather around to circle jerk and pretend it never happened, lets not forget about magic isco again you all group up to turn into "chad" to defend him when he was flopping.

sorry i have an opinion and i stand on my own and say it proudly unlike you clowns

You're entitled to your opinion man, I personally disagree with a lot of them.

Sorry I was aggressive earlier btw, however you have a problem understanding the values of the club and why certain players are loved and are popular and why certain players are not like even though they are talented.

Study the club's history mate and maybe you'll understand why you seem to like players no one really cares that much about.  

apologies accepted and sorry for my reaction, anyway real madrid nowadays is flip floppy and very political, from the board to the fans, so i will stay true to my opinions and i also feel a lot of you should have games without the blinders either.

I was probably the only who said isco and di maria was hindering benzema got laugh at, fast forward today both got kicked out of the attack and the guy is producing, who would a thought?

lastly every player can be criticized nothing wrong with that at all, its when you guys group up to lay all the blame on benzema while bypassing everyone else on the performances, is when a debate starts up i dont care if he is popular or not that will always be BS.

Fair enough mate, for the record I don't think you're wrong about the flip floppy stuff.

@BC

Agree to disagree,

Did Xabi commit a single foul today? I can't believe our midfield just disappeared without a blink for 25 minutes. I can blame Modric, but Xabi is usually out there breaking some legs before he lets the midfield evaporate into thin air.

I was upset that they braced us and we just took it. It was pretty clear this ref wasn't sending off anyone today, so we needed to bruise some people.

dude, benzema still scored, lay off him. I swear we have the most fickle fans. He's our top goal scorer this season ffs! Grow the *bleep* up and quit complaining..

He did and they showed a replay where he should have been carded.

Yeah he shouldve been carded, you know what, cr played like shit (even though that wasnt the case..), whatever. Only coincidentally, di maria "played" as bad as cr (was he even on the field today? idk..) because you know, hes argentinean

BC please stop with the bs

hala im done arguing with you i have no reason to lie on a forum, its a matter of opinion so if di maria played well for you he could be bad for me, anyway show me all the laughable excuses i wrote for benzema?

yeah rotating with higuain every week for 3 seasons is a excuse?

being the least ranked player in the attack yet being criticized for not playing like falcao? is a excuse?

being booed in the first game of the season for no real reason at all( prob morata ), would have helped him progress?

isco and di maria wasn't hindering him in attack?

again you guys simply don't like him so everything he does gets bloom way outta proportions, every player goes through slumps but when benz does, it the end of the world and we won't win anything with him blah blah.

end of the day this is benzema first shot at being the starting CF for us, from his time in madrid, guess what? he is producing just as good as anyone else.

Messi what a goal

Was a dreamy freekick.

Valdes.   

Must be like 7th consecutive set piece goal barca have conceded in the league

Thing is whenever we draw/lose, everyone performs poorly. Whenever we win, everyone performs well/adequately. The games that we have struggled in this season are the one where the opposition press us, which results in players losing the ball, players being out of the game etc.

I don't really see any point in blaming a single player, when it was Ancelotti/the entire team's fault.

In terms of Di Maria, yes he had a poor game, but so did Bale and Ronaldo apart from his goals, so did Modric and a few others too.

It's not a single players fault.

I think 80 % of the goals we conceded were set piece goals this season. Barcastuff had the numbers up, it was was something like 19/27 a few weeks ago.

Aside from Busquets, Puyol is the tallest and around 5'9 ?

Carvajal and Marcelo not starting screwed us up IMO, Coentrao and Arabeloa should never play together.. Ever

Lopez was poor for that second goal as well, got caught day dreaming..

There needs to be a replay center that can review incidents, and communicate with the refs to give cards for dives after they have happened.. Pepe acting like he got head butted made me sick to my stomach, I'm tired of seeing shit like that from players.. They should be given straight reds, that would stop it

Where is Suso

A Barca goal outside of the box that isn't a freekick?!   

Alexis vs Real Madrid.

Xavi, 34, still shitting on every other midfielder in the world. DAT performance.

yes, what a performance of xavi vs almeria, let's give him cookies

100 push-ups.

Well, tbf, if people on this forum were calling Modric the greatest player in the world simply because he had a couple of great games against the likes of Almeria and co(not saying that you were one of them), I think that Xavi deserves a cookie

Oh there is not doubt that Atleti do not have the money that Barca or Madrid have, but they are poor either. Would a poor team pay €50m on a player that technically speaking is not their's?

No, but you seem to forget that amount they spent on Falcao is the amount they pretty much earned off Aguero sale.

Close enough:

Barcelona are the team that concede most of their Liga goals from set pieces (48%) and corners (38%) this season #fcblive [via opta]

A corner is not considered a set piece? (ie is that 38% part of the 48% or are the separate items?)
