Neymar scored the 5th goal of the game, mate, but even without him doing barely anything in the first half, you could still see quality written all over him.
He did have a much better second half, predominantly because he got the ball, the first half he was starved of it. He's still a little raw in some of the things he does, tries to beat one too many players or plays the wrong pass etc. But he has top class ability.
He's incredibly quick, and such a fluid mover, so quick on the turn and effortless acceleration, great balance. His dribbling is fantastic too, great close control and trickery, even when running fast. He also has insane touch when balls are fired into him, nearly every time perfect weight on his lay offs and first time passes. Hard to judge his movement on today's showing because there was space everywhere, but he knew where the space was and had great timing. He took his goal brilliantly too, dummying the keeper and then walking around him to slide it into an empty net. Composure personified.
He did have some bad parts to his game though. He went down like a sack of shit every time he was touched, rolling around for about an hour each time too. He's also fairly weak and easily pushed off the ball, and a little greedy at times - although he is very clearly the superstar of that team.
I'd kill to have him here, he's a superstar in the making. Oozed class and ability. Looks exactly the sort of player I'd expect to see on Barcelona or Real Madrid's left wing some time soon. Sadly. And that's if Chelsea or City don't get their grubby little hands on him first.
