But didn't you know, you can't count that because all he does is spam crosses and anyone can do that. Anyone. It's not like having a good final ball is even a skill anymore. Half the people on this thread could just knock the ball on and spam a cross, you idiot!!

Rafael Borre scored for Frankfurt again in the final and scored the winning pen in the shootout. His stats don't seem great but passable for his first season in a top league, however when I've seen him in these EL knockouts he's been seriously impressive. He reminds me of Aguero. Maybe we...

Just because we beat them doesn't mean he played well. We may have won the Super Cup against Madrid, in fact, if not for Busquets 'brilliance'.

Trapp made some great saves today. He was good against us too.

FM ratings are pretty much made by scouts/in a scout-like system. Fans of clubs/leagues/nations who watch the teams frequently (they prove this through season tickets I believe) volunteer to do stats for certain teams, and it is all moderated by a 'head scout' for that league/country that gets...

FM is very different to FIFA tho. FIFA are far more inaccurate in how they rate players and actually sometimes adjust their stats to fit in with the meta, it isn't a realistic video game. FM is much more realistic in stats and gameplay.

It's awful how a club legend is becoming this hated, simply because of his own massive ego. But he truly deserves it. He thinks he is brilliant and is going 'unnoticed' when been total shit most of the season and responsible for loss of silverware like in the Super Cup. Yet still talks about...

Don't agree. During our good run we were crossing almost every attack, the difference is they were landing those times and clubs didn't setup to stifle it yet. Go back and watch and very few chance creations are from the middle even then. Difference is teams are reacting to us now. Same thing...

Newcastle have 67% possession. Remarkable.

Agree with everything you wrote. Overall he had a good season, it would have been great if he could do better in cups but our performance there was very poor. Balanced out by our great league run however. Just saying that like you said he can't get a free pass next season.

Because I think if we do badly next season and get embarrassed in Europe again, it will be claimed we have a terrible squad and it's not down to Xavi. It isn't and won't be better than Real's but it's a clear 2nd in Spain too. Guys like Pedri, Araujo, Frenkie, Dembele would play good minutes at...

Vinicius was a joke even amongst his own team before this year. 'Fictitious'. Kind of like how people hate on Dembele and called him Dumbele. If he was here, have no doubt he would have been frozen out well before he became anything. This attitude is on every football forum in the world, there...

We have a striker averaging a goal every 90 minutes and a winger who is LL's top assister despite only playing half a season. Just matters which perspective you see it.

You probably haven't. Definitely haven't on any semi competitive level. You say that someone can become LaLiga top assister in half a season just by having good acceleration :lol:. There are many players in the top5 leagues much more athletically gifted than Dembele that can't do the same thing...

Not ever top level by any stretch of the imagination but I think mid-table clubs and maybe EL clubs could do worse. For a fullback his physique seems optimal. A bit small in frame for a CB, but would be one of the stronger FB and fast too. Also good on the ball like you said and puts in a...

People who think it is easy to do what Dembele does ('just knock the ball past the defender') have clearly never kicked a ball in their life. Top division defenders are not pylons, LOL. We have Ferran Torres as our clear evidence, who in fact has a higher top speed than Dembele. Yet he can't...

He is fast, strong and tall. You can do worse at FB/CB. Has a long way to go technically and we didn't see it as Getafe didn't put much pressure on our backline but like when we played Bayern you see what he is missing. However physically, he is very good and still young so maybe there is...

Xavi has not changed anything, and neither have the players. The difference is teams understand well how we play now and that is the limitations of a simple system. It gives clarity of instruction but also means the opponents work you out quickly. Teams are coming out in a 5 and pushing our...

He took the meaning of 'silent impact' to a whole new level :lol: :lol:

Bobo's been waiting to open that bottle for half a year now. It should be nice and aged for today :lol:
