I remember a good few goals he's scored for us where he entered the box or made a great run in behind @ Osasuna, Betis, Valencia etc. More times the issue with him is he can't control the ball well after he gets it in behind but makes the right runs in the first place often. Struggles with...

Absolutely not for Raphinha. One of his best skills is movement and making runs in behind.

Against Madrid, Atletico, Man Utd, Bayern, this guy was awful. In the biggest games he has been poor even before the World Cup. Credit to him he is very good against lower LaLiga teams but if we have European ambitions he needs to do a lot better in that aspect.

Yeah... 30 goals and somehow can't tell you more than 5 of them because almost all of them are statpadded goals when games are already over or against terrible teams. The guy had a bad season man. You have to say it.

I wouldn't put too much stock in a game after we already won the league.

Bayern haven't been trophyless for 2 decades. And they hired Tuchel to 'maintain the treble'. Hilarious.

Tuchel hasn't been a very good appointment so far has he. Going to break the record for most sackings at this rate!

60m these days for the right player can be a good investment. If he ends up being a good DM even just for a couple years the price will have been worth it. Kimmich likely much better player but also older and more expensive so pros and cons for both. Probably have some resale value with...

Zubimendi looks in good shape and quite mobile, he probably won't be that low intensity. Have not watched him much either but from the games I did see with Sociedad vs Barca/RM etc I didn't really notice him and see him do anything special. Though, sometimes that can be the mark of a good...

Araujo with ball playing skills is probably the best central in the world. With the physical skills and defending skills he has, including a great understanding of the game and top mental fortitude, all that is missing is the work on the ball.. which is improving a lot and he's starting to...

I guess the thing is Walker is not one of the best 1v1 defenders or even close to it at his position, he's just fast and strong and not that known for being amazing 1v1s (more offensive), but Vini make him look like that. Aaron Wan Bissaka is the hardest full back to go up against as a winger...

He's amazing but he is more associative. Never understood the description of him as a 1v1 demon. It seems when he gets closely marked he tends to fall out of the game, and has struggled against Walker, Araujo, Foyth etc when he's been specifically marked. Needs teammates to connect with and to...

He's very talented in technical and physical terms but in terms of understanding and reading of the game seems to be miles off it. Constantly making wrong choices, leaving open holes around him, getting pulled out of position etc. The opposite of his midfield counterpart Tchouameni, who despite...

Madrid are in much bigger problems than people think. We rail on Ancelotti for some choices but reality is that squad is incredibly overrated and without him a lot of them will probably be playing in Betis soon. Valverde, Camavinga, Rodrygo, Militao are not the players made out and probably...

Could be seen this year vs Madrid too... 2-0 up fairly quickly and should've really managed result from there as can be seen Madrid are relatively easy to stave off if you keep an eye on Vinicius specifically. Fell into the trap of trying to go for more and ultra aggressive and pissed it down...

It's unfortunate, because Klopp era Liverpool have literally lost 2 Prem titles by 1 point. 2 points. The difference between winning 1 PL title and 3 PL Titles.

Doesn't matter that this is one of their worst seasons in yonks, they are still putting out United and Juventus and making the finals of the EL. History really matters, doesn't it.

We all know Pep is historically very honest in his interviews and never, never lies.

Loves us so much he left us Ferran for 60m.

I would, and also, their league performances have been great, they are just severely underperforming their numbers compared with xG due to Lukaku and co missing chances.
