You said that. "City don't need to buy Galacticos because they have a system." If they don't need expensive players ("Galacticos") and the system is what gets the results, why spend over 600 million Euros on players? Put 100 million worth players in that system and see what happens. Whether...

Some sort of joke that I missed? Team which already had likes of Agüero, Silva, Fernandinho spent over 600 million Euros in the last 3 transfer windows and is described as if they were getting by on a budget with youth development. lol They paid 70 million for Mahrez to sit on the bench, 30...

And someone explain to me in detail how you believe Coutinho can replace Iniesta. One player had extremely low goalscoring and assist numbers throughout his career because he would rather keep the ball if a final pass wasn't 100 % certain and was almost un-dispossessable. The other goes on a...

He played 90 % of the time as a forward for Liverpool, why are people surprised? https://www.joe.co.uk/sport/how-jurgen-klopp-plans-to-alter-philippe-coutinhos-role-in-liverpools-starting-xi-for-next-season-126094 Also on Liverpool forums they had the same headaches where he should play...

I'm convinced we have the stupidest fanbase. Because I haven't seen this kind of nonsensical "short clip analysing" from any other fanbase. Rakitic is the player who made the most forward passes in La Liga out of any player last season, just to get this out of the way first. That alone makes...

Messi alone is paid close to 100 million a year with bonuses which skews it enormously. lol @ United though.

Intrigued to see what will happen. At clubs like Madrid or Barca "creating a good environment and lifting the mood" type of managerial changes might fly but United have a mediocre squad, no star player to bail them out individually and heavy competition so it might not last more than 2 or 3...

Valverde is a 7/10 good coach on par with the likes of Pochettino or any other good but not special coach. Right now there are only 3 coaches who could be considered a tier above (who are all not available): Pep, Simeone and Klopp. But Simeone plays eye cancer football and Klopp has won jack...

Are you my personal Stan? You write to me all the time even though I never mention you. I think people who claim Tata "50 crosses a game, Messi must not touch the ball, losing La Liga last game at home, 0 trophies, 0/6 wins against Atletico" Martino to be a better coach than Valverde have awful...

Meh. There are coaches out there who manage to fall 10 points behind with Bayern in Bundesliga or fall out of top 4 and concede 5 goals in a Clasico with 3 times CL winning Madrid squad. Luckily we never had coaches who were that much out of their depths so Barca fans have developed an elitist...

Do you actually have anything to say or do you quote me all the time because you subconciously feel your own stupidity exposed by my posts? I'm not a fan of any coach or player, I write it as it is. I've criticized EV plenty when it was on...

To refresh some memories. Ajax actually put up a video on their channel "Ajax defeats FC Barcelona in style", that's how badly we got rekt playwise under Tata. WWcnQuElxRs And to add insult to injury, they outplayed us with 10 men for an entire half. "Barca standard season till December"...

Alves didn't cross by his own instructions. He crossed because tactically the team was set up badly in a way that Alves only found himself in crossing positions. Alba made double digit crosses and even Xavi made half a dozen crosses in that particular game against Real Sociedad. Why did Alves...

Looked it up. It was actually 50 crosses against 10 men Sociedad at home.

You have memories of a goldfish. Under Tata we set a crossing record against Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey. 42 crosses, was it? And that with Alves, Iniesta, Busquets, Messi, Pique still in their prime years + Xavi + Fabregas + Neymar who was thrice the talent that Dembélé is. Valverde is...

Apparently Harry Kane is the top striker talent in the world right now below the age of 30. Have you seen the chances he blew yesterday? One shot went straight to the moon. Rather keep Suarez until he's 40 than invest fantasy money for Harry Kane and Icardi level talents. No wonder Perez...

Xavi and Iniesta were special and it was apparent. Iniesta was 1 year older than Alena when he came on at half time in a CL final and played one defense splitting pass after another, including the assist for the equalizer. At 22, Real Madrid were ready to splash 60 million on a 22 year old...

Certain players have certain abilities attributed to them. Like "Busquets = intelligent". It's a cliché. How many times does he run up the field to press mindlessly on his own when it's not on?

Alena will never make it here or at any other top club. Already know this after watching 1 full game of him against a good side. Nothing to do with "getting used to teammates" or "needs right coaching" either. You see some actions, how he has difficulties controling a simple bouncing ball and...

List is shit and PL-biased. When do you know a list is PL-biased? When it has De Gea on top. But regardless, look at the striker list. 8 out of 10 are 30+ years old. Only Icardi and Kane are younger than 30 and I wouldn't want either as a Suarez replacement. Atrocious. CM is equally bad. Kante...
