Almost none of the current XI were involved in us being 9th before he was appointed. Christensen, Kounde, Aubameyang, Ferran, Dembele, Pedri, Lewandowski, Raphinha, Kessie did not play during that time period. The team was completely different due to injuries and new signings coming after. So...

They don't buy the best players. They buy B tier players who we already have.

Agree, but even if we draw the worst group possible (that is, Arsenal, Milan, Newcastle) I would still expect us to qualify over Milan and Newcastle. However, the odds of that are highly unlikely, usually as a Pot 1 team you get at least a decent group. Would be shocked if we drew the hardest...

I'm definitely not saying he deserves praise for that, I'm saying it's likely to happen, especially as a Pot1. If we draw City in the 16 and we go out acquitting ourselves decently nobody is going to get at him too much. The issue is we've been knocked out by these teams such as Frankfurt...

That's not the year before... that's 22-23, which was last season. This season is 23-24. In 22-23, they finished 2nd in group, not 3rd, as you put in your answer. Anyways, here are some teams that have made QFs in the last few seasons : 22-23 - Benfica, Inter, AC Milan, Napoli 21-22 -...

How can they finish 3rd place in the group when they played City in the round of 16 :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: They finished 2nd, 1 point behind Madrid, in their group in 22-23. Imagine specifically doing a fact-check on where a team finished in a group and getting...

I think he is doing worse than is apparent to the eye. Since he came in we have been playing even more awfully than before and consistently awful. I know it's a simple way of looking at things but our lineup hasn't substantially changed except for him (and no Dembele, but Dembele was injured for...

Winning the league two times in a row would be a huge achievement, yes. But a team who can win LaLiga two years in a row can do better than a CL QF, also.

You seriously can't write something so ridiculous and actually believe it. Some kind of teams that make QF every year are Leipzig, Porto, Benfica, etc. Not super teams. B tier teams are regularly doing it.

JN is still available, no? If we don't do well this season I would give him a shot.

Did Greenwood try to rape his girlfriend?

We really need him fit ASAP because the defense is not the same without him. His injuries and condition should be treated with the utmost caution, it is known how injury-prone he is, why risk him if he was carrying a knock? That could cost us the season, genuinely, if this is a long-term injury.

If you guys want to go live under the Shariah... Go ahead. Nobody's stopping you... You can go to Afghanistan or Iran or somewhere they practise it to the letter. Even Saudi Arabia knows how fucked up it is themselves because they are rewriting their laws to remove Islamic interpretations and...

He doesnt fit the STAR criteria

Barca zoo Pedri - red panda Abde - buffalo Lewandowski - brown bear Gavi - tiger Balde - cheetah Xavi - ?

Oh ffs please not this again

That's rich

It would most likely be 4-3-3. Can't form a back 3 with Cancelo as that makes no sense, he's an attacking player, it would become a back 2.

3m is actually a pretty big amount for a Serie B club. I don't think they are usually paying transfer fees more than a million there. Hell most LaLiga clubs can't even spend that apparently. Probably why he had to go to Italy as all the clubs here are broke.

We're going to have to face the music eventually though and stop kicking the can down the road. We have to sell and make money to get our head above water in the LaLiga salary cap, and eventually function above it. Just staying below it forever won't be productive and it is a vicious cycle : we...
