His consistency is interesting. His moments of brilliance can be amazing.


Marcelo will never take the defensive side of his

responsibilities and execute them flawlessly. In his good defensive years (this is not one by a country mile) he tracks back hard and recovers well. Since Casemiro earned the starting holding midfield role a year ago he has relied (sometimes too much) on Casemiro to cover for him. Maybe the years of running have caught up with him? He can be pure magic and has scored huge goals for Real Madrid.

And there is James...what a nice goal. I miss that guy.


He's still one of my favorite players to watch.

It always seems as though he's run out of fucks to give.
