    La Liga 23/24

    That was the right decision. The attack was well over time and the corner should have been the last kick.

    Nah all 3 were bought to be starters. Havertz and Antony still are. They didn't live up to expectations.

    Let's talk about Xavi's replacement (2024)

    It isnt largely due to decisions made by the board and Xavi.

    Simone Inzaghi

    I wish Inter gets taken over soon by a rich board so we can really see the culmination of this when top athleticism is introduced along with technical ability. What a team and manager.

    Lautaro Martinez

    Hes a very interesting player. I have watched Inter a lot so I can leave you a long analysis in a few hours when I am free to write it. For a top striker, he has a very unique profile, but I'd say his game is mainly centred on three things : Movement Touch Use of body/strength (proprioception)...

    Premier League 23/24

    I would note Chelsea's underlying numbers are very good. They are just very weak in the finishing aspect.

    16 - Fermín López

    Has some physical problems for sure. Its possible they have examined him and figured that it was just anatomy or better to leave it for his performance, but this guys leaning so far forward, he's got some of the worst lordosis I've seen from any football player. That is usually because of bad...

    Rey Manaj

    Good point. Sometimes having experience and different profiles from the bench can make the ultimate difference. Luuk de Jong also had the caveat that his style fits perfectly Xavi's cross and pray strategy we see all the time so its baffling why he left and we start a striker in Lewa who isn't...

    Rey Manaj

    One of the problems all top clubs have with players like these is theres no real ways to give them opportunities whilst the expectations are so high. Their value usually can only grow when they leave, or maybe if they are given a lot of time from the bench, but its understandable why many are...

    Luuk De Jong

    Long night out 😭

    Luuk De Jong

    Incredible season in Holland so far. 31 goals in all competitions and its March. Of course, he was already doing this in the Eredivisie before, so not unusual, but suggests he still has a lot left in the tank and maybe we could've kept him around given Xavi's strategy of crossing against parked...

    Vitor Roque (loaned to Real Betis)

    The mark of a good striker is getting in many positions to score. With these players they usually work it out with time. Once he gets confidence up and starts feeling out the new environment (Laliga GKs are probably much harder to beat than Brazil league GKs) the goals will flood in. Remember...

    Rey Manaj

    Having quite the season in Turkey. 14 league goals in 1600 minutes for Sivasspor (tied with Icardi's 14 goals, who shot 3 more penalties than him). He is 2nd in top scorer race, 4 behind Dzeko.

    Raphinha is really fast. He just can't dribble.

    Felix is such a whiny bitch. Get him out of here.

    Let's talk about Xavi's replacement (2024)

    Motta has a view of the game that not many managers have, the way he thinks of football is really special, I'd also add he is a very perceptive and intelligent guy in general and seems to understand football psychology really well. One of the main principles of his game is very "Total Football"...
