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

    Nagelsmann is extremely talented. I think he may also be better than Motta (as someone who recommended Motta years ago as a future top manager). His view of the game tactically, like Motta, is very special. Motta has a better personality and character and Nagelsmann is probably better on the...

    The reason rape convictions arent comparable to most other crimes is simple... nobody normal records themselves having sex, and in situations where unprovoked attacks do occur, like this one in a toilet, there is no CCTV and no witnesses either - that is the case for most rapes.. so always going...

    CL Round of 16: Napoli - Barca 1-1

    We are lucky we didn't play a better team because we would have been seriously punished for that collapse in fitness around 60 min mark

    CL Round of 16: Napoli - Barca 1-1

    The team got tired after pressing so much for the first 60 minutes, now we are too tired to keep playing, they haven't done very much before the goal so they have more fresh legs. Hopefully we don't concede another.

    Quality touch and finish by Lewa.

    CL Round of 16: Napoli - Barca 1-1

    Napoli could have made many more chances if they had a more technical striker. Osimhen has ruined like 4 or 5 good attacks already.

    Pedri looks spent, goodness.

    CL Round of 16: Napoli - Barca 1-1

    Can't disagree more, I think they are doing a very good job with it so far.

    CL Round of 16: Napoli - Barca 1-1

    Really? We seem far better using that tactic, as boring as it might be. It's not perfect but seeing what a disaster 433 is under Xavi I'll be fine for him to stick to the old 4 box for the rest of the season.

    CL Round of 16: Napoli - Barca 1-1

    Are we playing with the 4 box? Haven't tuned in yet. Interesting we turned back to playing a midfielder on the LW seeing this as a 'must-win game' but tried to use the 433 during the season.

    I agree with you, the problem is that he doesnt seem to understand his own tactics and how players fit into them. He signed mostly associative attackers without 1v1 qualities when his system has shown from the start that the main attacking situations it produces is 1v1s on the touchline...

    Champions League 23/24

    You know Inzaghi has been around for a really short time right? This is only the start, that's why it's so special. I wouldnt compare the budget constraints either because Italy still had pull for top players at that time, Serie A has been in a sharp decline over the years and this Inter...

    Also says something about organisation of funds. We have to be smart with that money, we aren't a state-owned club. Our most differential players in the attack the last 2 seasons have been Dembele and Yamal, two fast dribbling 1v1 types, and we sign Ferran, Raphinha and Roque, 3 guys who are...

    Champions League 23/24

    I feel the most concerning thing is that we've spent nearly 200m on the attack (Ferran Raphinha Lewa Roque) and we still think that the attack needs to be replaced entirely. The first priority for the new manager should be getting the most out of them.

    Champions League 23/24

    We could be a superteam now. Dont be fooled by the teams performance under Xavi, they can play good football. We need to make the right managerial appointments first then the board need to up their game, but its possible we can get back to the top soon.

    They arent now, they dont have the quality to be, but if they get funding they certainly can be. They are on the precipice of becoming a giant again.

    Champions League 23/24

    Imo Inter are going to stay top as long as they have Inzaghi, if they get some funds, they may become a superteam again. He loves the club too and probably wont leave. The rest of their league is struggling a bit but I would say Serie A is becoming on par with Spain, slowly.

    Champions League 23/24

    When it works, yes, but theyve hit a ceiling and it isnt working anymore. Their success was mainly during seasons where Oblak was undisputably the best GK in the world and bailing them out in many games. He isn't that anymore and that's mainly why they aren't successful playing this football...

    So if Atletico are trash, Girona are just breakout, we are in crisis, and those are 3 of the 4 best teams in Spain, what is that saying about LL? One team league?

    I don't think they will have any problems, but let's see. Their team is hard to rattle. Their squad is experienced and Inzaghi has a very strong mentality.
