FC Barcelona – The Problem Isn’t Neymar, It’s Cesc Fabregas
Everyone is looking to see if Barcelona are truly in a crisis now. Gerardo Martino has a world of pressure on his shoulders to find the answers after a very poor showing in the team’s most recent matches.

Manchester United – Great Wayne Rooney Seasons Usually End With Nothing
An interesting thing about Wayne Rooney over the last few seasons – it seems he dances between greatness one year and getting on everyone’s nerves the following season. Manchester United usually win their championships when Rooney isn’t at his best, although it shouldn’t have anything to do with it.

Chelsea FC Transfer Rumors – Juan Mata & Kevin de Bruyne Leaving to Atletico Madrid
It’s been rough for some players at Chelsea this season, probably more than anyone for Juan Mata and Kevin de Bruyne, who pretty much occupy the same position at the team, but aren’t favorites for their manager.

People are so used to see Barcelona win every match, that every loss, not to mention consecutive defeats, is a source for talks about crisis and falling apart. Like it or not, the Lionel Messi injury is something extremely difficult to deal with, even for a team filled with game changers like Barcelona.

Chelsea FC – Jose Mourinho Is Still Their Biggest Asset
Is making a switch into a 4-4-2 formation, playing that way for an entire half, that much of a stroke of genius? Yes, or at least it seems like it when you win. Chelsea took advantage of conceding a goal after only 14 seconds to fire back in an unexpected way during the second half, as Jose Mourinho made a change that his usually quite resourceful opponents couldn’t handle. Demba Ba being the spark of change might have been even more surprising.

Juventus FC – Fernando Llorente With a Championship Goal
It might be a bit too soon to crown the next Serie A champions, but there was something special about Fernando Llorente scoring a 90th minute goal for Juventus to give them the dramatic win in another lackluster display, which fit quite perfectly with the results around them, making it seem like it might once again be a Bianconeri season.

Liverpool FC – Luis Suarez Abandoned By Brendan Rodgers
Every once in a while Brendan Rodgers makes such a huge tactical blunder you can’t help but wonder if this Liverpool gig is a bit too much for him. Luis Suarez is talented, but even he can’t do it on his own against three central defenders.
