We just don't have any variation or balance in our squad profiles, or it would be easier to make a defensive setup sometimes. There is a ton of the same profiles and no real variation. A ton of inside wingers, a ton of possession midfielders who don't defend, no actual strikers, etc, Looking...

I think when Roberto and Pedri come back that he won't play much at all. He was the last midfielder left on the bench after Gavi got injured. The Benfica game was very telling. We needed a goal to qualify us essentially and he doesn't put Puig on to try and get a goal, even when Nico was out of...

After a tough start at Spezia under Motta, who has some quite unorthodox lineups and rotation schemes, Manaj looks to have now secured a place as a starter and scored his first Serie A goal for Spezia today in 2-2 draw with Sassuolo, in a great performance as CF.

Konrad has been starting most games now for Marseille and Sampaoli now fits him and Harit in the same formation, but he hasn't been playing very well and is regularly taken off at 60 minutes. His last goal involvement in all competitions was over 2 months ago. He has 749' league minutes so far.

Bobo is just trolling you guys

Under no illusions as to the strength of their squad, but a couple notes. 1) This time, we should prepare tactically in a way in which conceding 3 or 4 is not possible and certainly not 8. If Xavi is tactically astute, he will shut up shop and look for opportunities to break on the counter...

We have a great challenge ahead of us. Despite that, I'm disappointed to read so much pessimism and unironic predictions of us losing 5-0 or whatever, it kind of shows how far our standards dropped. This is a Bayern that whilst is some way better than us, is one who has lost recently to...

Puig was playing very high up the pitch and we lost defensive balance and structure when he came in. Gavi is a great b2b and his movements are hard to replicate. Looked decent on the ball and no real mistakes though so alright performance.

Pedri is not La Masia. He already played a full pro season for Las Palmas before coming here. Neither is Araujo, who was not trusted even in Barca B when he came here, but worked his way up to be a first-team star. Maybe the moral of the story is youngsters are good but not all of them will be...

Memphis is what we call a BUM CRUSHER. Consistently putting in bad performances against the top half teams and only shows up Vs relegation teams. The one thing I admire is his attitude. He's so happy to be here and to play for us unlike some and took a massive cut to make it happen. He...

Dispense with Depay as 9 and put Dembele CF. 442 style structure with it being more of a 451 without the ball. Try to break in numbers and get balls down the line to Dembele. Alba and Dest fullbacks for the pace. Our squad is very limited in terms of profile so it's difficult for us to play...

People here complain about Depay losing balls... In his past couple games in Austrian Bundesliga, Adeyemi has lost the ball a unbelievable 42 times in total. The Austrian league is weak and he is playing for the by far best team in it. You can compare it to playing for Barca B in Segunda B...

Adeyemi has only scored once in the last 8 games. Since the transfer rumours have come out he is playing poorly. Giacomo Vrioni, player of a relegation team with 250 less minutes played, is only 1 goal behind him in the scoring charts. It seems to me if his form doesn't improve he may not even...

Was his last 30 that bad? I stopped watching after 60 but in that 60 he was good.

Bad game. I'm not big on Nico but no coincidence, he has been moved deeper again and look he's not playing good anymore. He was good at AM where he can go forward with less defensive responsibilities. At DM/defensive CM just average and played bad today. Get more out of him by playing him...

Miss you

Even bobo started trolling now

Coutinho for FDJ is pretty shocking. Could be Xavi resting a few players for Bayern as serghei pointed out.

This is how most top forwards score their goals at a high level. Most are tap ins or six yard box finishes as the job is done in movement and team play. It looks easy but yet, so many players lack the instinct and don't ever seem to find those easy tap ins that players like Sterling get many...

There is MRI that they use in U17 World Cup but it's known to be inconsistent.
