I would have guessed Iniesta or Xavi, but I looked it up. It's not.

I won't spoil the answer for the rest of you.

Is it the officials? I watched Narca play PSG recently and they seemed very creative.

It wouldn't have been right for him to provide Messi with an assist in the most recent game they played, and he really needed at least four.

Yes, Dani Alves, which i thought was very surprising and got me thinking about something else.

Is this a sign of the importance that Pep places on fullbacks and what we are missing this year. If we had quality fullbacks that were dangerous going forward, sane and Sterling could took in and play closer to sergio and be more of a threat in the box themselves

Tony Pulis has managed 43 PL games for various clubs after his sides have reached 40 points. He has won 6 of those games. Says a lot about his mindset and attitude

Very true re the teams that will be relegated.

Is trivia by definition not interesting?

i found this interesting!

Shows how key the full backs are to peps system, none of our full backs capable of playing it. Ironically i think kolorov best suited to it but has rarely played lb this season.

Linked with walker today for 50m im not sure hes the answer at all.
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting thread for sure.

Under any system, our fullback positions needed serious upgrading, but for pep's even more so.

Definitely the first thing to address in the summer.

To be fair that's amazing. I would've never guessed.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Where the deuce did you dig out those details NB ??

To my mind, they certainly are a damning indictment of the Baseball Capped one.
