I hope he does. At this point griezmann should be a backup for fati as a goalscorer at LW and trincao/dembele should be playing at RW.

The point is, he could have got it somewhere else, so hasn't really fleeced us, especially since he signed the contract in 2017 and gave 2 excellent seasons and an okay one. If he signed one now for the same amount it wouldn't be worth it. There are players in this squad who don't contribute...

Messi is on crazy money, but he is one of the few players in the squad who could have got the same contract playing for a different team, maybe even more. The wages city were rumoured to be willing to pay in the summer were even higher. Most of the squad are overpaid and won't get near that...

Griezmann is a obviously a better player than him, but based on his performances for us he has been poor. I wouldn't have much of an issue with griezmann if he didn't cost 120m or if he was younger. Unfortunately, we did another stupid transfer and we can't afford to wait a couple of years for...

We don't have to play them every game. We should try it against weaker opposition and see how it goes

Just shows how bad the griezmann transfer was. He hasn't really been much better than Carles Perez was for us.

He might end up being a flop, he might not. He deserves a proper chance to play RW. Griezmann has been useless there, dembele lacks football intelligence and we are broke. Who are we going to get to play there?

Dembele and griezmann have had enough chances. It's harsh to judge a player on a few sub appearances. There is still time for him to come good.

Where can we play him? Can't play on the left or the right, can't play as the AM and can't play as the 9. Should have sold him this summer.

True. He was bought to be a backup, is 20 years old and cost 30m. He didn't do anything yesterday, but either did dembele and griezmann who cost a combined 250m.

Argentina wouldn't have qualified for the last world cup without Messi. They were getting something like 0.8 points without Messi and 2.1 points with Messi, so I don't see how he is holding them back.

That is your opinion and not a fact. To me, mane is better on the ball and Salah is a better finisher. There isn't much between them tbh, but when you say Salah is better than mane and there is no argument, that is wrong. Nearly every LFC fan I know, rates mane higher. They missed him against...

He's going to have loads of games where he's anonymous. He's 17 so he'll be inconsistent. There's no middle ground when judging players here. When he has a good game he's a generational talent and when he has a bad one, he's nothing special.

Was thinking the same thing. No one could control the ball or even play simple passes. It seemed like Messi was the only player with quality on the ball.

I don't think he was. Even though David Villa is underrated, peak Suarez was outrageously good. He was a pressing monster and could win games on his own from absolutely nothing over his 2-3 year peak.

I agree that he's the best CM ever, but it's wrong to credit Spain's success to just xavi. There was a crazy high level of players in 2008-12 squad. Most of them were at their peak some time in that period and a lot of them declined the same time as xavi.

Real Madrid will probably end up with both of them.

It's up to the coaching staff and him to talk and come up with a plan to decide which games to rest. Valverde actually rested Messi a few times and it backfired. Those couple of years the team was so dependant on him we needed him to play every game. We lost our unbeaten record in 17/18 when...

You need to put things into context. Messi's legs have gone and he isn't capable of pressing at 33. He, along with Ronaldo are the only 2 players in modern football that have been at the top for around 15 years. Other players might be there for 3-4 years. You're acting like he's 27 and doesn't...

He hasn't been Liverpool's best in the last 3 seasons. He was their best in 17/18, VVD was their best in 18/19 and mane was the best in 19/20. Mane has been the best overall imo.
