What difference would Vidal make? Sergi Roberto has done enough to stake his claim.
Versatility and cover for this season, agree about Roberto though, he's probably been Barca's second best player this season.

Has Neymar really been that good this season? I mean for him to get so much more praise than Suarez is weird considering they have almost identical records.

Yeah, he's better. Though they both play up front, Suarez is positioned closer to goal in the lineup so you'd expect him to produce better numbers really. Neymar is better at opening teams up as well.

And Hull for a season.
Still follow them. Off to QPR vs Hull on New Year's Day.

And Southend.
Not my fault. Kim Mitten stopped going to football so my trips in the English lower leagues are reduced to silch (can't afford it anyway).

Y'all forgot Orient.

You gotta feel for Phil Neville, he's worked at Valencia all season and his big brother comes in an nicks his next job. It's like being back at home being a younger sibling and doing basically all the chores then you're older sibling comes in does 1 thing and gets all the credit.

Never saw that coming tbh . Fair play to Gary for sticking his neck on the line at a big foreign club. Be interesting to see how he gets on even if it's only for the remainder of the season.

Gotta respect that. Good to see English coaches exploring football on the continent - together they'll learn a lot more than being coaches at United.

Will follow with interest.

I wonder how Valencia fans feel about them hiring an unproven manager with no experience of their league just because he's mates with the owners?

They've seen him on sky sports, they also want Carragher as his sidekick!

Yeah risky move for both parties. Hopefully, it's a success. I like Gary.

And brother of the assistant who I presume was part of the previous coaching staff not doing that well?

Looks like Real Madrid have fielded an illegible player in their Copa Del Rey match so might well be kicked out?

Just what they don't need!

Was just reading that, they should be kicked out but the pull and support they have over there in the media and in power will probably mean they just get another paltry slap on the wrists.

Not his fault as such but the last thing Benitez needed really as its a trophy Real won't be winning.

Real Madrid have been a laughingstock this season. There's really none other to blame than Benitez. Not in this situation particularly, but the season as a whole.

The minute fat Rafa was appointed you just knew the comedy would follow. He shouldn't solely take the blame on this one but his tenure has been predictably comical so far.

The same thing happened to Valencia when he was there.

Suarez, who really shouldn't be on the pitch after some off the ball antics (he'll never learn will he?) scores near post after receiving the ball in an offside position. The 2nd half had really died down for Barca before that. Though they should have been about 4 up by half time but for some shite finishing. Valencia have offered very little going forward though.

1-1 with 3 minutes to go. Barca took their foot off since they scored and have paid the price.

Not the end of the world for Barca but it was a dire game.
