Wasn't Coutinho tried in midfield at first and was bad at it? Can we sell this guy without massive losses?

League titles are not missing for either the club or Messi. Our wants are elsewhere.

What? He is already one of the best (if not THE best) CBs in the world. Also, scores from headers all the time, something that our team is totally useless at. Also, it was a miracle that Ajax went that far, Spurs were the strongest team.

Respekt_III The last time Ancelotti won the CL was in 2014, 3 years more recently than Pep's last time. He has also won it more times.

Small EPL teams are very weak and very easy to beat, despite their immense (relative) wealth. Results clearly demonstrate this. But, EPL top 6 is by now the strongest in Europe by far. Out of the semi-finalists, only Ajax can be considered as a poor team. Spurs have more revenue than...

That's what I have been saying myself for years. But our worthlessness in away CL games has been too frequent (almost permanent) to be put down to luck. Exactly the same thing (worthlessness in away CL fixtures) applies to Pep, with both us and his subsequent teams.

Cool down mister! This is just a discussion on a football forum, don't be a child. I know that Mou's results have been disastrous in recent years (you have to admit though, that United's squad makes ours look world class through and through) The main thought I have, is that we need to build a...

2014 - 5-0 agg. defeat to Real Madrid (Ancelotti) 2015 - 5-2 agg. defeat to Barcelona (Lucho) 2016 - 2-2 agg. defeat to Atletico (Simeone) 2017 - I don't remember the aggregate score, maybe 5-5? but got eliminated by AS Monaco 2018 - 5-1 agg. defeat to Liverpool (even EV did better than that...

Correct. But Pep had better teams than Mou did. BTW, I do not prefer Mou to Pep. It's just that Pep is unrealistic at this stage, and also "been there, done that"

Yes we do, but they are not too far behind. Overall the Premier League is astonishingly rich and like I kept saying over the years, this financial might was going to show at some point. The only surprise is that it took so long. Also, we totally outclassed Spurs when we faced them in the GS.

Pep is a serial loser in the CL, which is the only title that has eluded us in recent years. Why would we ever go for him? Also, why would he leave City right now?

You are right. I am still amazed at why Messi & Suarez did not retreat in the beginning of the 2nd half in order to help our struggling midfield & defense. If Liverpool did not score early in the 2nd half, the tie was over.

Pep - no Ten Hag - maybe, probably yes Wenger - big no Tuchel - NO Ancelotti - yes

It's just a thought on a forum. Who do we go for?

9 years ago, when people all over were creaming their pants for Jose, I was the only one on this forum and elsewhere who made the counter-argument. But the fact of the matter is that times changes everything, both us and Jose, riding so high a few years ago, are now deep in the gutter, both our...

It's not that we should despise football players, or anything like that, but my bombastic and slightly vulgar comment was meant to underscore the degree to which professional football players have it good, and portraying them as some kind of victims or oppressed underclass is inane to the...

Whatever you say there is true. But, there's a huge difference between an unlikely event, and an impossible event. What happened last night was unlikely, but was possible, especially considering Barcelona's away form in the CL for some time now. We have been a lion at the Camp Nou, but a...

Mourinho is right.

They are multi-millionaires with lifestyles you and me can not even dream of. Moreover, they are worshiped as demi-gods or superheroes. Young and beautiful women want to suck their dicks. They did not even make it out of high school. Yes, we should feel for them.

Mourinho is gunning for Barca job.
