Flo so desperate, has looked a right fool throughout the Neymar pursuit & subsequent/convenient tax issues

A smoke screen for Vardy.
Neymar vs. Real Sociedad:
He's done this 3 times now. Against Rayo, against Roma and against Real Betis. Becoming a bit of a trademark touch of his.
Football isn't fair. How Barca can play him, Suarez and Messi on the same team is scandalous.
Players who do these sorts of things make the game a joy to watch. Best used to do things simply to entertain, some old curmudgeons hate it because they view it as show boating. I think its beautiful to watch and the sort of things only the most gifted can get away with.
When done "naturally" it's a joy to watch. Like in this case, he doesn't slow down the play or anything. It's nice to watch but also purposeful. What I find annoying personally is when players slow down the game, like pulling standing stepovers without getting past the defender just to end up with a sideway pass after hogging the ball for 5 seconds. But Neymar isn't that kind of player anyway, he incorporates the trickery into the natural flow of the game.
And here is the assist to Suarez:
Intentional or not? Any other player and I wouldn't be sure but with Neymar ...
Exactly. Football wouldn't be so enjoyable w/o players like him.
Yep, he may as well have intended it and got it slightly wrong and so was fortunate.Intentional or not? Any other player and I wouldn't be sure but with Neymar ...
World class is almost an insult in describing him.
Comfortably the second best player in the world.
He's not comfortably better than Suarez.
Not surprised - He is going past players for fun these days.
Suarez was better in 14/15 but Neymar has probably edged it half way through 15/16, given he's had a few clumsy displays infront of goal this season.
Messi is low due to an injury-ridden season so far, but surprised to see no Suarez or Ronaldo there. Even if both are not consistent dribblers, they play in teams with very high chance creation. Modric and Marcelo being prominent despite not being attackers is pretty good.
Marcelo is a special player.
He's great but also perfectly suited to Madrid/Barca type teams. Absolutely brilliant in attack, better than most wingers, but he's pretty poor at the back. Worse than Alves was, let alone the likes of Cole and Evra at their peak.
Maybe. Suarez has 29 in 29 which is better than Neymar. There's not much of anything between them overall.
Neymar must have created more chances and have more assists, though. I agree that there's not that much between them. That said, Suarez is the central striker, and has had a couple of games where he's been a bit of a bumbling mess infront of goal. Just the couple of course.
Very true. Even with Suarez' misses, he provides so much to the attack were he only to convert a fraction of what he does.
Increasingly, Neymar will become the main creator in the team in the attacking third when Messi begins to settle into a more deeper playmaking role
To be honest, some years ago I thought he's another overhyped Brazilian kid. He developed so well, he'd be the best player if not for Messi
Neymar is basically answering the question of what it would be like with Ronaldo and Messi in the same team.
Except I think neymar is becoming a better player than cr7 was.

At their respective peaks, Cole was probably the most balanced of them all in terms of attacking and defending.
He already is.
So Modric and Bale create more chances than Messi? Yeah, that's not true.
It can be. Messi has missed 2-3 months this season, hasn't he?
The feck does this mean?
These are not averages so give a skewed perspective if your purpose was messi vs neymar.
Yeah, I forgot about that and this graph shows how they do in total over the season so far.
Messi was injured for a while
Neymar really benefits from playing in an era of soft tackling.
Neymar is destined to be the next best player in the world for a few years. But personally, at this moment in time, I think Suarez is better.
He's universe class.
Which skillful attacker doesn't fall inside that category?
There's hardly a true definition for World Class, let's not invent another one..
Haha he's not even close...
Have you been watching Ronaldo this season?
Indeed, leaving Ronaldo in the dust...
Yeh this season he's been better, but that post I responded to was saying he was better than peak Ronaldo which he isn't yet, but he be in the future.
The comment he made seemed to imply that Neymar is better than Ronaldo ever was, not just this season.
