He seems like he just manages on vibes and no critical thinking or reflection on his own tactics. Probably will blame intensity after we lose.

They're using a different system, I don't know why we're using the same strategy that we did against their version from last seasons. They are far more centralised now.

Never getting it is worse

Rudiger didnt cost them a penny... I thought no good players went for free?

Kounde should go first. He is a good player but not shown near enough to justify his value given the fact we have Christensen who's been very reliable and available. Kounde's best moments have actually come at RB and its not worth it to play him out of position there if we can get 60 or 70 for him.

The finances aren't as restrictive as is claimed. Yes we don't have much to spend but we also never try to raise it either. We only sell players in downturns or that we're desperate to get rid of but we never sell any players other teams will pay a lot for. We have this very protective...

I think it's a great sign he is already getting that many chances. He looks much more active than Lewandowski, has good movement, seems strong and hard working and therefore will probably get a fair number of goals. Just because he missed the chances now doesn't mean they won't start going in...

Dembele was a more important player than Lewandowski... Its understandable why he wanted to be paid the same. He should really be getting more. As for Griezmann theres no guarantees but with the performance he's showing at Atleti it would probably have been more worth to drop the Raphinha or...

We had two of the best attacking players in the league on the books and let them go for cheap to sign much worse players. They had very high salaries but cant have been less worth than what we have signed with their absence.

The club didn't really make the right decisions with the attackers. It was more worth keeping Griezmann and Dembele around and paying them massive wages than having Lewa Ferran and Raphinha here.

He is a bit of a cunt to be honest. Seems to never think anything is his fault, insults and attacks the players and does the poor old me act pretending he is hated by the media... reality being he is one of the most protected coaches we have ever had.

Wtf

I think its not really clear if he pushed him or just had his hand on his back. The slow mo replays make it impossible to tell.

Some good actions by Fermin also.

Surreal to think Lewa mentioned that one of the reasons he came here was that it's easier to win a BallonDor.

Lewa is a worse version of Ronaldo's 2nd Utd stint. We can at least be grateful he helped us last season, he is now fully done, bye bye, off to Saudi Arabia. Bet Roque will hit the ground running. There are plenty of chances to be had in this team for a hard working physical striker.

Its not surprising he ended up leaving, he was treated awfully, no club throws a player into the stands for wanting to leave on a free. In that case we should have sought a replacement urgently anyway, its about the profile, none of our forwards can break a high line.

It wasnt even about how good he is but the profile he brought. Players like Doku could have done similarly. We needed a fast physical winger to ease pressure from high lines and we didn't get it. We have no winger who can break a high line and take the outside.

The point was we needed that threat even if not Dembele we needed a winger with pace and 1v1 qualities to ensure teams can't press high and leave their line so high. Since he left, and we didn't replace him, teams are playing lines up to the halfway point with no fear, it's ridiculous. We signed...

If we had Dembele this game we probably win 3 or 4 nil. Say what you want but he was a very good fit under Xavi. His departure is one of the biggest mistakes made under Laporta's new presidency. Signed 3 forwards who don't get in behind and don't have those characteristics to bypass high...
