Should have a bunch of assists too but Lewa keeps missing the chances he created. Makes his stats look much worse than they should in reality be. Been superb last few games in the final third and also making the right choices on passes.

Was actually losing most of the duels against Albiol and kept diving to try and save face and make positive plays. Did have some nice linkups in attack and couple chances created but idk. He's not looking like the superstar striker he is. Age or teams focusing on him??

Well, to be fair to him, it's not like our defense is shutting up shop and conceding no chances. We give up a few big chances basically every game but 99% of the time they are missed or saved.

They're struggling to put any real sequences of play together. Not that surprising, their lineup really doesn't look very strong. It is crazy how some people think their team is better than ours.

Selling him is pointless at the moment because we're just gonna get low balled and take all the risk, 30/40m is probably the best we'd get and that isn't that much. If he doesn't pan out we made a ok profit. If he does pan out we made a terrible decision. Even if the club does think about...

Think people are jumping the gun with United because of how much progress they've made but they are still far away from being a top team. Love ETH and his work but they need a season or two more before they will get into that top echelon.

Having so many injuries of course can affect your level. Mobility, flexibility, trust in his own body, top speed, these will never be as good as they once were. A muscle is always strongest before it has been injured, once it is injured, it can never be as strong as it once was, even if it's...

Their plan has become cross to Haaland.

Nearly 4 years as manager and will still have nothing to show but a top4 finish/FA cup if he doesn't win the league this season. They have played fantastic stuff at points but this process merchant stuff is getting a bit boring.

I think he has something like 7 big chances created and 8 xA this season. How is that his fault? On probability the chance of none of them being converted is astoundingly low, he has genuinely just been very unlucky.

Benzema has gotten better in his later years, if anything. Might have lost a yard or two but his finishing/goalscoring ability has been far better after 30 (could say it is a consequence of Ronaldo leaving, but he has also had some crazy xG overperformances too). Adding to that, his linkup and...

A main core of Xavi's identity as a coach is very intense pressing and counter pressing and doing it high up the pitch for 90 minutes, both as a way to create offense and stop the opponent progressing the ball. People seriously want Messi back so he can stroll around the pitch not moving a...

Well... United played a great game, but again without the 3 points.

They are starting to really get into rhythm and play nice football.

I feel that is precisely what validates someone's praise, the fact that they display foresight and see the good qualities in the manager instead just judging by the trophies won. Anyone can say Pep, Ancelotti, Klopp etc are good managers just judging off their accomplishments, but people praise...

Andoni Iraola, who is one of the best coaches in LaLiga doing fantastic work with Rayo, is about to get poached by Leeds in EPL. They went up as 6th in Segunda couple seasons ago through the playoffs, and are already established as solid LL team. What a shame and I hope he doesn't move. This is...

The buyer of those future assets wasn't a made up company created by Barca. It was a real investment group with a totally legal deal which was filed with the correct figures. Not sure how selling your own assets to another real company is the same as creating fake betting companies that don't...

Its not really possible because in Europe the opponents can match or better our intensity. The reason we are having so much success in Liga right now is because we are literally pressing the opponent off the pitch every game and physically dominating them. We may not have that advantage facing...

He is definitely opening up space for the midfielders/wingers as teams pay more attention to him, but still, he needs to help more in the buildup and be technically consistent when he holds it up, most of the time it just bounces off him or ends up with the defender. Looks his age at times.

Imagine Frenkie had caved and agreed to go to Man U in summer.
