    nah a lot more than that is needed, barca have literally no substitutes that can make any difference, this is the reason behind Madrid's dominance. a bench with the likes of isco, asensio, kovacic, vazquez, nacho, ceballos, marcos can win u games on their own (kinda did embarass barca with most of these names starting)

    What? You can't compare them.

    The only thing that Asensio has over anybody is his shooting (which is phenomenal tbh). When it comes to dribbling and passing he's average at best.

    Of all the players you listed only isco and asensio can "win games on their own".

    But fine, let's compare that bench to their counterparts on the barca bench.

    Isco>All barca backup midfielders.
    Asensio>Paco, Asensio>Munir
    Kovacic~Roberto, Kovacic~Paulinho
    Vasquez<Turan, Vasquez~Rafinha, Vasquez~Deulofeu.
    Nacho<Mascherano, Nacho<Umtiti, Nacho<Vidal
    Theo>Digne
    Llorente<Paulinho, Llorente>Samper
    Ceballos~Denis. Ceballos<<Rafinha

    Did i miss anyone?

    So yeah, maybe last year when they had Morata and James you could say they had a major advantage in squad depth. But this year, outside of having Isco and Asensio as backups. The rest of their bench squad is actually inferior to ours.

    Problem isn't that we don't have quality players. It's just horrible mismanagement from the Enrique era. And the "Gap" that pundits love to talk about is currently nearing 0. Coutinho would in fact make our squad depth better.

    As for the first team, I'll concede that LOL in it's infancy won't be as good as BBC, but then again Messi normally scores as much as Bale and Benzema combined so who knows.

    Nacho is better than all barca defenders except pique when he's in form, ur really showing how little you've watched him last season, he was one of madrid's best players, single handendly put bayern's defence in his pocket

    Nacho better defensively, which is why he can play CB, but as a wingback, Vidal is much better in attack. Overall Vidal gives you more.

    Not sure what you find funny. I watch alot of madrid hoping they'll lose. I know how good the squad is, and alot of players get overrated because the team has good chemisty and cover each others weaknesses.

    this proves my point further, stats aren't everything, if so then pogba is better than kroos and modric and iniesta and many others he isnt half as good as

    I never said stats are everything, you found something funny about me saying vidal is a better wing back than nacho. At least when it comes to attacking, since that is how we judge wingbacks nowadays.

    Wheeew g.d., what a result for Liverpool... I know that it's still very early in the season, but I have a feeling that Arsenal will struggle to put teams away this year.

    Also, Liverpool should cash in on Coutinho while they still have the chance. £140 million is absolutely crazy, Liverpool would be okay without him for the first half of the season, they could probably replace him in the January transfer window.

    Didn't catch the Pool-Gunners game but once again my heart goes out to you Arsenal supporters :mjcry: might as well apply for a managerial position myself.

    Those wings look scary with Mané and Salah, if Liverpool can add some steel to that back line they will add more flavor in UCL & League!
