Pique should be rested permanently. Might be good on the ball but he's a hopeless defender more interested in trying to look like Beckenbauer than do the basics.
La Liga - 2014/15
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
A few months ago I'd have agreed but he's been very good recently (that mistake against Villarreal aside).
Messi assist, Neymar goal. Same old combo.
Neymar got lucky with that 
Montoya has been horrendous even with simple passes. Couldn't pass to even save his life. May as well sell him for 10m when we have a chance.
And how doesn't Messi get a foul for that?
Awful challenge on Messi. Pathetic how players don't even try to play fair against him.
Great pass from Xavi, less so from Bravo haha
What a ball from Levante there, don't know who, but Bravo excellent anticipation because that would've been a clear 1v1
edit: it was Barral

Messi goal wrongly disallowed for offside. Scores two minutes later anyway 
With his right foot again. Great work from Bartra to steal the ball and assist him.

WOW. How can you give offside there!??
No ruling that one out!
What a miss from Messi
There are limits to his right foot finishing ability, he misses a fairly big chance there, after a great pass over the top from him had started the move off.
Should've squared for Neymar there, had a tap-in.
And again. Wouldn't call the latest one a big chance, but I'd back him to score if it was on his left.
Surprised Bartra doesn't play more. He's impressed me again today, great at winning the ball high up the pitch.
Yep that was a shame. Easy for Barca here though.
That's really poor from Neymar, should've shot himself anyway, but that pass was terrible.
Now Messi trying to be unselfish but screwing it up
Barca so good.
Now Neymar missing an easy goal. Maybe a bit less pisstaking would do them good.
Aaaaaan Messi scores.
Aaaaaan Messi scores.
3-0, tap-in for Messi after a very long sequence of possession... Busquets with the ball over the top for Pedro to square, Messi with his right foot again
Had to score, don't know how many chances they created within last 10mins. Pedro is good, looking fit and hungry. Great player to have as a backup who gives 110% in every game.
Barça and Messi a gift that keeps on givin in betting overs terms. I'm portuguese but i love watching Messi.
Suarez look "Why are they playing so good without me on the field?"
Sergi Roberto being given minutes ahead of Rafinha is a real shame.
A bit of a soft pen, no?
Thought that was a shocker but replay makes it look fair.
Rob Palmer and Gerry Armstrong must be two of the most clueless commentators ever at times
Hattrick
TBF, I would rather have Roberto playing 'this' match. He will get a run around. I am sure Rafinha will get more chances in more important games.
Messi closing in on Ronaldo. Only two more goals between them.
Ballon D'Or form
Yeah, in real time and from the regular camera angle that looked like nothing, but from behind and close-up it seems a fair call.
In the league yes, in all comps he's now 1 ahead of Cristiano. 37 v 36
El canibal for Neymar. Let's see if he can actually get something done this time.
The pass by Messi now on half-volley inside Barca's half squaring to Masche was probably better than any other thing he did whole evening. Was so amazing
Golazo!!!
What a goal by Suarez!
5-0, Suárez with the bicycle kick, holy shit... what a great run and cross from Adriano
