Kroos gets the same type of criticism from Madrid fans that Busquets gets here. But Busi managed to make Kroos look like a fast box to box midfielder today lol

He's back indeed :rockon:

Or maybe he just stepped up big time? Again, it's his passing, vision, and playmaking that were noteworthy tonight, things that he was criticized for in the past. Even with Barca's shitty defense he still had a lot to do to thread the ball through to Gosens or set up Asllani for a one vs one...

Yep, pretty much. Some of the boys over at Forzainterforums are saying that his second half performance was his best in an Inter shirt.

Not really. His composure, passing, and decision-making were excellent tonight and that had nothing to do with Bar?a's defense.

He had a monstrous game. Could have easily set up a fourth goal as well if it weren't for Asllani's selfishness.

Nobody is denying that. But people in this thread are literally attributing an injury involving a piece of bone getting detached from the thigh muscle to the "softness" of modern players :lol: It's an asinine take that doesn't merit any serious consideration.

You truly have no idea what you're talking about :lol: just mindless blabber that contradicts itself. If players are stronger and fitter today then that makes them inherently better prepared to deal with injuries. But hey refs allowed a lit bit more roughhousing back in the day so that totally...

It's really funny, isn't it? :lol: Players from that era would crumble around the 30 minute mark from the high pace and intense pressing of today's game. The vast majority of football players before the 00s could hardly be called athletes. The game was played at a snail's pace and most players...

That's one way to look at it. The other factor is that people in the Latin-speaking part of Europe tend to be more chauvinistic about their languages and simply don't see speaking someone's else's language as something to be proud of. In Spain and France some people will openly mock you if you...

He was absolutely phenomenal when he came in. He should become their starting RB in no time.

Idiotic take. Vini has already come up against fullbacks/wingbacks that are faster than him and still managed to turn them inside out. There is much more to trickery and dribbling than just speed.

Really? yikes.

It's the worst club from a sporting point of view. Players like Casemiro shine when they're the muscle for more technically gifted midfielders who can pass the ball and retain it under pressure (Kroos and Modric). Casemiro and his new teammates possess neither of these qualities. He'll...

I don't see the Saudis selling Bruno G when their project is just starting. What about Alaba? he can play DM as well.

You truly have the worst takes around here, which is saying something.

Losing the CL is expected, unless an unusual result such as a first-round elimination or a round of 16 humiliation against a weak team occurs, he's safe there. Losing the league will get him fried though, imo.

What? The Raphinha chance was almost a penalty. He had a direct shot at goal and missed it badly. I don't know what kind of bias you have against the guy, but those were clear cut chances.

Not sure if this is a serious question. He set up plenty of chances in the middle of the box, including one that useless Raphinha sent outside of the stadium.

Maybe watch football now and then? what a silly comparison.
