We have been playing by far the best when Busi was paired with De Jong and not alone as a single pivot in the 4-3-3. The defense when we played 4-3-3 with him as pivot was diabolical. They have formed a pretty nice partnership, so shame to break that up, but he won't be impossible to replace by...

Yeah, but City have been outstanding against the best teams domestically, whilst Madrid are 3rd in their league behind pretty poor Barca and Atleti versions. If talking about how they've done vs the top sides this season it would slant City. After last year and the way it turned around, you...

To be honest I see City thrashing them over the 2 legs. The only thing that would stop City is mental issues (fear, concentration...) Because in terms of everything football wise they are the far better team. If Xavi can outclass Ancelotti Pep can do it too. He just needs to not overthink it...

1 goal and 1 assist in the last 19 Premier League games for Antony. That is dreadful. Might be hard pressed to find any starting winger in the entire league that's doing that badly in end product.

Problem isn't their defense, it's their attack. Nobody scores goals other than Rashford and their '100m winger' as Serghei likes to call him is one of the worst producing winger in the league when it comes to goals and assists.

This is the keeper better than Mats apparently. Lol. Mats hasn't made an error like that all season. Whilst De Gea is doing this almost every game, literally costing his team wins. Serghei will tell you he's better though.

Remember these two posts : New Serghei criteria. 1. You can only be world class if you performed in advanced stages of CL. 2. Players aren't good unless they have won major titles in their career. Come to think of it, it's like those literally apply to zero of the Man U squad, yet...

Olmo on a free is an opportunity we should take because it is value - even if he isn't the best out there, the chances of being able to resell him for a good fee is high. Get him in on a short term deal and give him a season in that LM role, if he works great, if he doesn't.. He can perform...

To you, maybe, because you will never say any of our players are world class no matter what they do or if they are rated by other fans/clubs. Vinicius is better than Dembele, he's just much more refined and developed, agreed, but saying Dembele is some kind of non asset like you were making out...

I associate this line more with Dembele than Vinicius. Vinicius loses 1v1 situations very frequently in games and his dribbling skills are not that unique, not much flair and often just kick and run. (Look at him vs Araujo for reference). He is much more skilled than Dembele elsewhere such as...

Benzema is definitely better but physically he is much less than even Lewa at this point, so they have to replace him now, despite how good he still is, he can't cope with a starting season anymore. He has missed like half the games this season only with muscular fatigue or knocks, not even...

The only one I see being a permanent fixture at Madrid is Vinicius, he is good enough in all aspects of the game, but Benzema is just about finished physically and Rodrygo is too limited despite being very clutch. Also when Ancelotti leaves they will look a lot worse, his impact is understated...

Clearly don't deliver in the league though. Benzema is always injured and Vinicius and Rodrygo have been decent at best there. Whilst Lewandowski to his credit was great the first half of the season and Dembele was also. They probably could've won the league if their 'big game front 3' showed...

Madrid kind of got fucked over in scheduling regard. There's not even 3 days before they have to play a crucial CL semi final tie after playing a cup final. It couldn't have been on some other day? 2 games in 4 days and the same team playing vs Osasuna will play vs City.

Inter are a good team. Not top quality but good and Simone Inzaghi's cup record is phenomenal. He has like a 80% win rate in cup games and he has played a lot of them. Madrid are really nothing special this season... I will be picking Inter with chest if they face off but again like I said I...

I can imagine it. I am quite sure they would beat Real if that is the matchup but doubt Real get past City City would be a harder proposition, but still possible.

That's the difference... in a whole half vs Osa, we would let them get into our box maybe once or twice. They go there twice in 5 mins vs RM. Though I don't doubt it would be different if it was the CDR final, as it is always different whenever we're in cup games.

Amateurs. Fucking trash.

Kroos legs are gone.

Clearly very easily beatable if they have lost 13 times only in the league. They've lost more times than they've won. So he is quite right to say it would be embarrassing to lose to them.
