This guy is just a worse Adama and Adama has been two months without a club. Just sign him instead if you want this SELL OR RELEASE

It's not a coincidence that Ferran racks up so much more xG and gets more chances when he comes on... Someone with pace and legs to run in behind and constantly move. Lewa expects the chances to drop at his feet or to be played clean through without having to do any work. He even said himself...

Of course it counts. We could have beaten Benfica to go through then got put out by Frankfurt when winning EL would have given us the first seed, meaning we never draw Inter and Bayern.

Brighton would be an outstanding move for him. Its a team where the players that have performed well go on to transfer for huge fees. Its a very watched club as we all know and all the top clubs monitor their squad. Plus, it isn't as high of a level in terms of the surrounding teammates he'll...

Who calls Messi a genius for scoring open tapins? I don't follow Messi after he left Barca and I haven't commented on any of his MLS games. But from what we all know Messi is the last person to only score from rebounded tapins. The fact is that since the World Cup Lewandowski's scoring record...

His xG is 2.27. He's got 1 goal.

5 posts here and all of them defending Lewandowski. What's your background? Are you a Lewa fan like Temptation?

He was meh and scored a open goal from a rebound. Not really something to celebrate.

The thing is athletic destroyer type DMs aren't hard to find. They are a dime a dozen and fairly cheap, you can find ones who actually defend and make the safe pass 10x better than Romeu does if that's what you're looking for. Why it had to be this guy is beyond me. There's nothing particularly...

Fuck him then. Not only is he greedy he's shite. He was once great... Now he's over the hill. Unfortunately he is finished.

True but you can do better than Romeu. Get an actually good defensive DM who's athletic and the midfield will be incredibly strong. Having Romeu and Busquets there has caused defensive deficiencies.

I want to see more of Fermin Lopez. He seems really athletic and has a decent shot.

He's just Busquets but worse on the ball. Busquets could at least make a Hollywood pass from time to time and con the ref for many fouls. This guy is just basic, big slow DM who makes short passes and cuts out play from time to time. But decent teams are passing rings around him.

Never forget Xavi and the club tried their utmost to throw him out. He is one of the best midfielders in the world if played in position. You can't lower the floor by getting rid of a player like this.

I would put it like this - last year we played like shit but we were very good at shutting opponents out of games. We gave up few chances. This year seems we are way more vulnerable defensively and regularly giving up big chances.

He has brought Balde and Lamine thru and given them a lot of trust at really young ages, tbf to him. Now the challenge will be to see if Raphinha takes him out of the team instantly or Lamine rightfully keeps the spot.

I agree with this bit, but I'm really convinced you don't get away with this against better sides. I feel that we were set up better last year especially defensively and that so far we are showing some decline over time. Feels like a regression is going on not a progression. I would also add on...

I mean, if he gets us another LaLiga and we show a little progress in Europe, I'm not sure anyone can really argue with it. At that point the proof is in the pudding. It just doesnt feel conducive to success but again I did say the same last season as well as others, and we ended winning it, so.

Do you seriously think this is fine? We're in the 3rd season and we are still seeing the same terrible setups game after game, with us edging out wins over much worse sides by quality typically. 100% we are not winning anything playing like this. We aren't good defensively anymore either. The...

Its not that difficult against Lewandowski mate.
