Premier League 2018/19

How is Zidane a top manager when he finished 14 points behind one of the weakest Barca teams in the league? and even with Ronaldo in his team? Their only CL win which was 'deserving' or convincing was in 2017, and even then they benefitted a lot from ref decisions (like the bayern game). 2018 was their luckiest CL win with Liverpool dominating them and Salah getting injured early on in the game in the final.

In La Liga, they played well in 15-16 (recovered a lot of points compared with Barcelona) and they played extremely well in 2016-17. They played like crap in La Liga in 2017-18, true, but still played very well in some CL games (beat Juventus 3-0 away for example), while being bad in others.

Only bad season of Zidane in 3 years in La Liga was the last one.

Pep needs to replace Gundogan with either Rodri or Fernandinho.

Sure, but having a player like Ronaldo doesn't make everyone a great manager.

Madrid wouldn't have won 3 in a row with Benitez either for example.

Perhaps that's because Zidane was the right man for the job at the time. Benitez has won La Liga and CL with a far weaker squad than Zidane.

Lol, EPL refs are so dumb. A clear stomp on a player's foot in the box is not a penalty.

Benitez was a top manager back in 2005 too.

It's only 3 weeks into the season and the title challenge is already Liverpool vs City.

Spurs are finished.

 

[utility73]

Seriously, what is wrong with those incompetent idiots doing VAR ?

At least the Spurs got fucked by it for once

 

[Vahue]

Spurs have looked poor in all of their matches this season. Their luck ran out today.

 

[utility73]

Apart from that second half against Villa they have been piss poor.

Getting a 100% clear penalty denied is not called running out of luck.
