2021 Preseason

[DonAK]

Cant we unregister Coutinho and Pjanic to solve this?

Nope, although I think the hope is that we agree a deal with Juventus in the coming days so they take Pjanic home with them.

Perhaps Agnelli and Laporta already talked about it.

Defense still a mess but same players same problems. Second half cooled down duo the subs. Still only a friendly so i dont expect us to win so easily against big sides.

DeJong and Pedri should make our midfield solid. They can probably carry Busi. (In easier games)

 

[te amo barca]

We won 5-1 in one of the few games he started last season in La Liga. It was one of our clearest wins.

I just don't feel secure when he has the ball. He is too "twitchy" and easy to bully off the ball.

Yeah, he is too ofensive for a defensively unsound team. A start here and there against some weaker side is a non issue though.

He needs to go on loan as at this rate he will be lower down pecking order than last season.

True. He needs to realize to develop as a player. He is not going to correct his mistakes by being sub.

 

[Rassvet]

We're apparently unlikely to be able to register our signings for the game next weekend unless a major breakthrough happens within the next few days. So might have to start first game without Memphis, Emerson.

Depay is the only one that is essential for next week.

 

[Birdy]

Didn't watch the game.

What formation did Koeman play? 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1?

 

[Zidane82]

Chiellini coming. Alba frozen in shock.

Chiellini is just a thug like Pepe - he took out Greizman in the box !?
Ref didn?t even blink ..

 

[Zidane82]

Emerson has a nice presence. So much is clear already.

Really !!!!?
I thought it was a dreadful performance.

His first four touches were bad passes and in dangerous positions - like watching Roberto again !!

I was shocked how poor he looked .. poor defending ( stupid booking ) , poor in attack . I?d love to see his pass completion stats

Dest is a far better RB on this showing

 

[Zidane82]

Balde reminds me of Rashford somehow.

Baldi looks better than Alba already !!

 

[Zidane82]

Emerson's been pretty bad. But this is his first game.

I agree - he has been piz poor
Everyone else thinks he was fabulous ?!?

 

[Zidane82]

Emerson looked really shitty to me... Those first two passes, wow

Plus most of his others as well ..

 

[Zidane82]

Good performance.

Depay and Demir the standouts for me.

Pique had good second half.

Yep .. Baldi looked class and Nico shows great promise

 

[Zidane82]

And our top 2 promising stars did not play, Pedri and Fati

No FDJ or Gavi either !

Not to mention Coutinho and Dembele
