A taller goalkeeper covers more range. And hence it is logical for him to expect the ball for a broader range. But as the consequence it will affect his speed of reaction. The more range you try to cover the less reflexive you will be. You should not expect a goalkeeper to be the most reflexive...

Some fans think if he had dived he could have saved it :rofl1: And some think he should have tried irrespective of whether he could reach it or not. But the thing is a good Goalkeeper knows how much range he could cover. And so, they will always expect the ball within that range. How do you...

Mbappe is just another youngster who got suited to the style of his team's system. And this Mbappe hype is going beyond tolerance and he is so much overrated to the level Ronaldo has been overrated. He is not a game changer. Just see Real Madrid playing excellent team game without Ronaldo...

Too good to be true. With this board, even if this happens, it would be another Tata Martino type of coach.

I have seen the qualities I mentioned in a Champions league game against Borussia Monchengladbach. One might argue it was against mediocre team. But again, quality is what it is within. That's why we can never see Rakitic totally control midfield even against granada nor can we see Suarez...

In terms of midfield prominence, their system is numerous times worse than us. So, he is yet to play in a system founded on midfield.

No. The number of games where midfield is the protagonist and not MSN (Like it was during the coaching tenure of Cruyff, Van Gaal, Pep, Tito).

I'm not talking about number of games. I'm talking about number of midfield oriented games. I should have clarified it in the post. Will edit it.

:lol: This board is atleast great at trolls.

Okay, in case if you're willing to listen, I shall reason. Some people including Allegri see him as a huge talent because of his attributes such as very good first touch, clean shooting, elegant movement with the ball, accurate short passes. These are the attributes that is very essential for...

It's the system that is Joke. A system where the greatest midfielders of all time look like mediocre footballers. I am very much sure even if we sign Weigl, he will struggle the same way like Gomez. And the same can be said for Alena and Samper too. This system only suits to box to box...

Just not signing a midfield controller till now is enough for us realize that this board and the technical directors know nothing about football. What is obvious for everyone who just watches football in Television is not comprehensible for this businessmen. Even if they don't have least amount...

I haven't watched yesterday's match. But from what I have seen last season, I can clearly see that Gomez has a very high potential. My question is if the system cannot make the best out of two of the greatest midfielders in history (Iniesta and Busquets), then how can you expect a young player...

Thank you :)

If the board had even the slightest idea of what good football is, Sarri might have been our coach now.

Let me mention things which are very obvious yet many in this forum aren't aware of 1. The board and the scouting department should take the 100% blame. The board for drifting away from the Total Football Philosophy and making the club as a business organization and disrespecting Cruyff...
