Yes: wow. If you see no technical ability in Dembele, you simply do not know what technique is in football. Just give up your own twisted ideas and hatred, say something if you don't repeat your mad agenda. You should digest the sad facts: according to your own statements, you know NOTHING...

Fortunately Grandson, I need no medication, but you probably do. Your highly cultured and marrowy reply clearly shows that. According to your goaf brain, everyone is an idiot who even considers poor Dembele being a football player, including: Xavi, Ten Hag, Zidane, Pocchettino, Deshamps, and...

Wow. "If you are on a different opinion, then just shut your mouth..." "We are the haters, we hate for the sake of hatred" - brilliant. The same people, with the same sentences, the same hatred - that has nothing to do with the game, the team or actual qualities, a complete and ultimate lack...

Hope you do not think that whenever I reappear for a short time (and you would immediately say something ridiculous, regardless of what I merely tried to share) that I would spend my time on admitting to you that I'm an idiot, who indeed just repeats himself and others, but you - the great...

Yeah, I remember your old problem. Is it Hubris-syndrome, or something else? But do not worry, you can be in good company here. Old is true, sage is probably not. But I definitely tend to know a bit more about this lovely game, compared to the exorbitant crowd, including the frustrated and the...

Yeah, people hardly understand anything around here, that's why I got truly bored and perhaps look around just once in two weeks here. After this bad game against PSG it just comes to mind how many times the yieldingly-flat guys with a small football-cortex shouted that Neymar had escaped to...

Each and every coach tries to adapt the solutions to the players available. Those, who say they are doing it for the foggy future aren't telling the truth. Koeman hasn't actually touched the defense, the structure (apart from trying three defenders for one and a half game). It's still the same...

Pique is 34, so no use to seriously expect anything outstanding from him. But the main problem of the defense is different. It's mostly tactical. Every 2nd class coach knows, that if you play two SLOW center defenders IN LINE with each other, in a horizontal line, sooner or later they will be...

A new manager won't help in this case. Barca needs to grasp that times changed and the contemporary high-class game is based on execution-speed and on speed as such. Having the boring and absolutely counterproductive possession, even when the opponent is opened up, having twice as much slow...

These are the moments and particular mistakes that ALL players will remember at the age of 80. Of course he will learn from it, because these mistakes teach a defender to be much more cautious and to concentrate by 200% higher. He is good material, raw but promising. Made a mistake that at the...

Come on folks, Koeman wanted to get rid of Puig when he joined Barca, and most probably has never seem him to train, at all. He simply dislikes this talented guy, which is understandable because Koeman actually was a very rough and physical defender himself, so obviously he likes the...

Yeah, his PR is definitely good, specially that the media considers him a world class player, which he has never actually been. He played with France at the right time, when after scoring a few penalties and easy goals, he became the hero, but he is not due to the lack of his capabilities. He...

Yeah, his best game so far just because he gave away three useful passes, one back-heel and missed some chances too... After Dembele's missed opportunity towards the end, it was a pain to see he couldn't hit the ball from 10 meters and found air. Great. Of course he is better in the middle...

Isn't Neuer, Muller or Lewandowski happen to be also veterans at Bayern? Come on, what a single sided reasoning from most of the folks here... Veterans can do things right and all that matters what they do, what they can still accomplish and how they are able to do that. Two Brazilian teams won...

I agree with your proposal but there's no way Setien will leave out Vidal for this crucial game. I'd most definitely play Puig, who is the sole midfielder with some liveliness, but the game probably will not happen without Griezmann, thus your wise proposal becomes one of the least possible...

More often than it was needed, I'd said several times here a year ago, that there is no way anything else could come but the present situation. Of course the reason is not Setien, as he has tried to put together this team in his own way, but the damage caused by Valverde for more than two years...

"Toxic" is a very heavy word and absolutely inappropriate in the context. If you are angry for the lack of performances, it doesn't necessarily implies that something is "toxic", maybe counterproductive or undesired. Furthermore: Everybody who played a bit of football in his life knows that...

Absolutely true! Regardless their ages they are success-oriented, thus they almost always respect, admire and follow a coach coming up by winning ideas.

Each and every team has senior players. If the team consists players around 20, then the remaining "old" 23 years old becomes the "senior". There is always a sort of hierarchy in the locker room and you can't avoid that. Nonetheless, as I have already mentioned that in this forum, football is...

"Laziness" has little to do with defensive contributions. It is the work-rate and attitude prominent in training and all other PREPARATION phases.
