You can see that the quality of Bilbao's players is rather low, they are just very well coached. Seeing their players miscontrol basic passes or overhit simple balls gave me the impression that against sides with more quality, as usual, we would get thumped.

This relies on believing the league is essentially entirely rigged and the results are already pre-decided, for them to have that much precision in manipulating the games.

The goal wouldn't have happened, you can clearly see Valencia players stop playing as they hear the whistle. The mistake is the lack of clarity in not blowing immediately after the corner and then sending off Bellingham and Rudiger for dissent.

Nah I didnt. The implication is they help Madrid enough to get them to win the league then they give some favours to Barca to pretend the refereeing is even. But the league is still at risk so it makes no sense for them to harm Madrid now as part of the conspiracy.

Thats absolute rubbish. The league is nowhere near done.

That was the right decision. The attack was well over time and the corner should have been the last kick.

Nah all 3 were bought to be starters. Havertz and Antony still are. They didn't live up to expectations.

It isnt largely due to decisions made by the board and Xavi.

I wish Inter gets taken over soon by a rich board so we can really see the culmination of this when top athleticism is introduced along with technical ability. What a team and manager.

Hes a very interesting player. I have watched Inter a lot so I can leave you a long analysis in a few hours when I am free to write it. For a top striker, he has a very unique profile, but I'd say his game is mainly centred on three things : Movement Touch Use of body/strength (proprioception)...

Which one???

I would note Chelsea's underlying numbers are very good. They are just very weak in the finishing aspect.

Or Palmer... lol.

Has some physical problems for sure. Its possible they have examined him and figured that it was just anatomy or better to leave it for his performance, but this guys leaning so far forward, he's got some of the worst lordosis I've seen from any football player. That is usually because of bad...

Good point. Sometimes having experience and different profiles from the bench can make the ultimate difference. Luuk de Jong also had the caveat that his style fits perfectly Xavi's cross and pray strategy we see all the time so its baffling why he left and we start a striker in Lewa who isn't...

One of the problems all top clubs have with players like these is theres no real ways to give them opportunities whilst the expectations are so high. Their value usually can only grow when they leave, or maybe if they are given a lot of time from the bench, but its understandable why many are...

Long night out 😭

Incredible season in Holland so far. 31 goals in all competitions and its March. Of course, he was already doing this in the Eredivisie before, so not unusual, but suggests he still has a lot left in the tank and maybe we could've kept him around given Xavi's strategy of crossing against parked...

The mark of a good striker is getting in many positions to score. With these players they usually work it out with time. Once he gets confidence up and starts feeling out the new environment (Laliga GKs are probably much harder to beat than Brazil league GKs) the goals will flood in. Remember...
