Classic EV, has such a way with words this guy.

Dortmund were unlucky. On another day they could have easily had at least two goals over us.

I'm not sure if he's fully fit. Maybe a change in fitness regime or diet is in order. He looks extremely sluggish on the pitch.

Great talent and has a lot of confidence. Reminds of Neymar on the left-wing for us. He is very raw though. Has to get playtime to learn the system/teammates and opponents. Hope he sees play regularly in the league.

When he's on his game he's still the most lethal striker around.

Arthur/Frenkie Suarez Fati

Modric definitely a notch below both Xavi and Iniesta.

As good as his second goal was I can't see him ever getting to occupy that position once Messi is back. This is without even bringing Suarez into the equation. It's an interesting challenge to find ways to optimize the positioning of all our forwards. Sadly it has fallen on the plate of quite...

The worst part of all this is it has exposed how indecisive and unprepared our board is. If we decided to go for him we should have given them Coutinho, Dembele, Raki whatever and wrapped it up early. If not we should have just said no early on and reinforced with other players. Now we find...

Must be insanely hard being continuously reminded that you have to single-handedly influence a team sport every game without fail through the season. No wonder he wants Neymar back. As good as Messi is, it's extremely unfair and just plain impractical to be this reliant on him.

Football is a team game. Our system is kind of all over the place right now so any player that comes in looks worse than they were in a working system. Players that rely on movement, passing, and positioning have all of their attributes nullified in our void of a team. They need to be excellent...

Losing to Pep is nice and all but we need to get knocked out by a weak team or hammered by Madrid. That'll be the only way to finally get rid of Valverde.

Not a fan of any deal involving too much cash. Should have wrapped it up before the opener giving multiple players. Now we're in a sticky spot. On the one hand, we can abandon this knowing full well that we'll improve once Messi is back. On the other hand that won't cut it for the CL under Valverde.

If it's just Coutinho+Dembele straight swap for Neymar and no cash, we should consider it carefully. Mainly because over the last two years I haven't seen their combined output better Neymar's even at his worst for all his flaws. I agree that in terms of how much we paid it's a loss, but the...

Is Arthur injured or something?

Terrible miss. That was their chance.

Dembele is unable to make a pass to save his life. At this rate, I doubt we'd even get a bag of chips for him in the market.

Loan option seems pretty good. We limit our risk and can always say no if things go south.

I always felt he needed to be given time. Now that he's had time, to me it appears that while he can potentially improve and offer more, it's not likely to happen for our style of play, with our manager and certainly not enough to justify his price tag. He seems to have focussed a lot on...

Alves was always a beast. He was crucial to what made the 09-15 Barca team. Never saw the sense in letting him go. Yes, he had blips and he wasn't gonna put in the same level of performances throughout long seasons but finding an RB with his skill set is near impossible. Great dribbler and short...
