All right, Jordan was the best. Pippen was in his shadow, but Kokuc comparable to Pippen?! No way Jose!!!

Thanks for that because I started to feel lost around here...thinking that being a fan of Lewandowski requires some sort of gay infatuation prerequisite...or smoking something special...which, in neither case, I don’t have.

I stand behind what I said... I don't value Lewandowski to be that big of a deal as Messi or Ronaldo is. I don't even expect him to make it to the core chapters of football history. He'll dive into an oblivion within 10 years after he retires. Ronaldo and Messi will be still talked about...

'Kokuc/Lewandowski' was not meant to be a comparison but analogy. Its only purpose was to show where Lewandowski stands in the rank, if compared to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo; that's a shelf below. Similarly, Kukoc was not even close to the rank of Jordan and Pippen.

That plays a big part too. Or, now, when I think about it, you may have actually nailed it. However, he seems to be confident enough in getting out of the Penalty Box, Neuer style, and manage the tasks there. When I think of Szczęsny leaving his PB and do some play that high on the pitch, it...

There is an opinion that a goalkeeper must know that he is #1 and rotations should not undermind his confidence but that was with reference to a National Team... not how goalkeepers are to be managed at a club level. If I remember correctly, Flick wasn't rotating Bayern's Neuer for CL matches...

It is an away game, with a middle of the table side, so knowing Flick, he won't experiment too much; good result (I guess that could only be a win) would set right vibes when the league resumes after the break.

The thing is that when your team is kicking ass, you can't get enough of it...and thus, such an interruption is nothing else but annoyance.

Interesting that fewer people want them, or at least that's what I think. Well, the World Cup and Euros are still fun to watch and somehow those NTs have to qualify there, and in order to qualify, some practice is needed and the NL gives them practice.

I noticed that it is also dependent on certain events that set the benchmarks of its flow. For instance, the weeks when there are games of significance like Bayern and Madrid fly by fast, those of international breaks come to a crawl.

Damn International breaks...get me off my rhythm and disturb my mental peace. 🙃 When you on the road driving a truck for days on end, you like the regularity of league matches on the weekends and CL in the middle...time flies better and more efficiently. Remember, Time is ONLY linear as a...

So far, under Flick, he's been right on the money. Worth every penny....treble in the making and all that jazz.

Lastly, Lewa at Barcelona has still some work to do on his legacy here, not to be remembered as 🚜. Hopefully, this season he will prove everyone to the contrary, and I would consider that it would be a great achievement, if he could be remembered as good as Stoichkov is... So far so good on...

I really understand the emotional vesting of some of his fans, perhaps frustrated by the lack of consensus of his greatnest in all aspects of what makes a footballer remembered for decades to come, and the fact he was cheated out, in 2020, from Ballon d'Or but let's be honest, he is not as good...

Ehhh. No way. 👎 I am not blind. I am not buying this smelly bologna as a good kiełbasa ... He is not a good dribbler, in a classic definition of the word. Dribbling is not his weapon. He might have shown a few moments where he trick - fooled his opponents (e.g. love that heel pass trick against...

Oh...he will, but Szczęsny I'll remember not exactly as a savior ala Jan Tomaszewski in England vs Poland on Wembley 1973, but rather someone who cost us dearly and made me wanna kick his ass bad 🤬😤🫣e.g. Poland vs Greece 2012 or vs Senegal 2018. Arsenal or Juve fans could easily relate to that...

I remember this one, of course the other one against Slovenia too. Nice...but.... Let's be honest, those were no dribbles, ala Messi, Ronaldo, or Maradona style, those were excellent runs with the ball. There's a subtle difference... A dribble in my book is when a player fools the opponent...

That's just how it is in life...A mediocre goalkeeper steps up to the task and offers no reason to take him out. Maybe Szczęsny presence did the trick. Good for him.

Llĺ So , we could effectively argue that in the first one, he had a good 'muscle' reaction and reflex that someone else might be lacking and the second was about his foxy intuition, which is Mother Nature given, not necessarily available to someone else. I can buy it, why not? 👍 I am a Lewa...

The theory is that it would be some luck for someone else but for Lewa it was his skill and expertise of positioning and ... as someone eloquently put it, awareness.
