Haha comic and tragic! When u put it like that, can't think of another top club where players have it so easy

Was joking the other day but yeah, board actually managed to pamper our hard-working lion cubs into Love Me Feed Me Never Leave Me Garfields.

Picking up their kids from school just before match _ no warm-up gym - just a pool table and a auto-refill Purina 9Lives dispenser. The other coach was gobsmacked and said his team would take 10+ goals or was it? per match if they did the same :lol:

Even Pep and Klopp couldn't tame our players at this stage. Pique skips training to join strike rally... ma man SpeedBouz quick to follow lol Good luck controlling Leo and force him to stay in the top corner where he'll never see the yarn.

Solution: hire Jackson Galaxy to reset the meow button and pair him up with a hardcore master chief drill instructor to whip them back into the zone. Cats who can't cope will immediately ask for a transfer to China, Japan or MLS.

Only Leo gets a pass on BUD/S ... err cuz he's my fav hehe srsl, cuz u wanna protect ur Ace in the Sleeve

BUT put him on a 10 days per month juice detox and incorporate more flexibility and yoga into his routine for longevity.

Confiscate Demb's game consoles and make him watch hours of foot analysis + hrs n hrs vs MaTs and defenders so as to hone his finishing skills under pressure.

Select based on merit and current level so as to boost motivation. Weaker players will ask for transfers by themselves instead of board trying to convince them and the better ones will get promoted. Easy P!

Then, bring in 10H or Xavi or whoever fits best :D

wow what a fucking bizarre writing style. have never seen anything like this on a football board

Do you think that players are scared of him?

What an absolutely and anciently outdated garbage is that?

Do you think X player will more successfully dribble is he is scared of the coach???
Do you think Y player will more successfully aim a long-ball is he is scared of the coach???
Do you think Z player will more successfully finish is he is scared of the coach???

Scaring you OWN players is equal to taking their CONFIDENCE away, which is the best recipe for losing.
A good coach is a respected father figure and as such, always has the AUTHORITY over the young players, but authority can be a very POSITIVE notion, WITHOUT FEAR!

A good coach should scare the OPPONENT with his tactics and game, and never his own players.
How can you build up a thought-flow and repeat such an awfully stupid anti-sports thing upon that?

It's another Dybala at Argentina scenario where Leo has decided it's not going to work with Griez and he won't work well on the same team as Messi.

Villa/Zlatan at Barca got similar treatment.

What should Messi do to make it work? Its really not that simple. Griezmann and Dybala are probably the two top players who are the least compatible with Messi.

Watch the Copa America 2019 3rd place match vs Chile. Messi and Dybala worked well when they played at their best position for the first time in the NT. Even Dybala said it himself that he proved that he could play well with Messi after the match.

Let's first see Griezmann at CF and Messi on RW before say that it's another 'Dybala situation'

ronaldo can mesh with anyone because his style of play doesn't conflict with others. throw 2017 ronaldo onto this team and barca run riot through europe, with dembele and griezmann's full potential being unleashed. that's not happening with messi

Oh yeah. He definitely ran riot with Juventus last season and is doing it with Juventus this season.

I've read a lot of bullshit on this forum, but you're taking it to new heights now.

Imagine thinking Ronaldo, a player who relies on service, would do well in this current Barca team who create barely 4/5 clear chances per game :lol: :lol: :lol:

The proof is there that he relies on service as Juventus are playing some ugly football and Ronaldo is barely scoring...

Delusion level: 1000000000

ronaldo wouldn't thrive with alba, griez, dembele, fdj, arthur, etc. providing him service? do you seriously think that juve even has anywhere near as the same offensive firepower as barca?

and like i literally stated, inserting 2017 ronaldo into the lineup would be a boost to everyone as he offers something completely different to current messi. i never made any suggestion about him being a better player than messi, but just that his style of play won't conflict with others in the manner that messi's does. you can take that how you want to take it

You didn't say he would be a "boost", you said we would run riot through Europe and Dembele and Griezmann's full potential would be unleashed lol that's some funny shit man.

First of all the list of players you named on the previous post, don't you think we should be playing some great "attacking firepower" football (as you called it) with those players without Ronaldo? We are not, pretty much the opposite at the moment.

As for 2017 Ronaldo he relied on service, his build up play in his last two years there wasn't much different from now. Madrid was a well oiled machine and he was the final part of it. That Kroos-Modric midfield, Marcelo with the crosses, Benzema being a world class build up striker in that system and everyone else.. Ronaldo needed Madrid as much as they needed him. That's why he's got only 34 goals in 56 games for Juve so far, pretty poor return especially when you think he plays for Juve who dominate Serie A and that Serie A is a weaker league than La Liga. On top of that you have a 36 year old Quagliarella outscoring him in that same league lol the proof that Ronaldo doesn't just join a team, they start smashing everyone and players unleash there full potential is right there for you to see with Juventus.
