I did not say he is outdated at all. All I am saying is he needs to add elements to his system so he can have more solutions against different systems. The only thing that is specifically outdated about him is how he handles offensive transitions because he would rather have gradual control and...

Tuchel and Pep see the game very similarly in all honesty and there is no question that Tuchel outclassed Pep. But in a lot of ways, Pep is the creator of his own demise. His two biggest nemesis now (Klopp and Tuchel) take his own pressing principles and turn it right back at him and that is...

And the bald fraud claims are back :lol: Yeah I am curious how the players are handling it and if those doubts on his methods will start to creep in. Looking at the game itself, I think sure, no DM but more importantly for me, going four at the back did not do them any favors but it is deeper...

From the handfull of matches I have seen from Milan, there were not a lot of chances for me to judge him on this but how is his distribution? That was the only question mark I had on him being a good fit for us and I was wondering if anyone who has watched a bunch of Serie A this season could...

Anyone who expects Laporta to not at the very least weigh in on the sporting project simply do not remember how he was during his first stint. Priority number one for him is restoring the mentality, the philosophy from top to bottom that we had pre-Rosell/Barto and our brand of football is a key...

1392251764632600577?s=21 Worrying. Jordi aint it fam. Just let Pimienta lay down the foundations for Xavi either next summer or in two if he does well.

I do but the problem is that it is not good enough and really is just a slight improvement on what has been done before. His ideas are similar to Valverde: balance the possession approach with a slightly more defensive approach where we sit deeper at times. He is more demanding than Valverde...

If you cant understand that (you never fucking know) is one of the core morals of football, this isnt the sport for you.

I remember getting a text from a buddy of mine who is a Spurs fan during the 3-1 Supercopa and he said that this was worst he had ever seen Barca play over two legs. Even a neutral saw from the jump that EV was doomed. Only result he got against Zidane was the 3-0, largely due to a PK and them...

While I feel like it’s harsh to come at Messi and Frenkie in particular for being La Liga merchants, I do really agree with what you are saying here in the bolded parts. Basically, I would say that currently we are marginally better at playing possession than them but it is slow, predictable and...

Thing is with Zidane and you could credit it for him, he is very flexible systematically. They do like to attack vertically so I am not saying you are wrong in noting his wing play but I would not say they exclusive play this way and the 3 back system from Koeman handed it to them. I have seen...

Was it really the tactics though? The looks we got in the first half were not bad, Messi was getting free between their lines often. I love Dest but he had a very poor first half, as did Dembele. Really weakened our attack on the right and let them get into it. We need better quality in the...

It is not so much about winning headers. Yeah, it is great and all but him being taller means he can naturally bring down and win more aerial balls in the box than Mbappe could. He likes to finish more with his feet right now and the headers can come with time. But his movement and positioning...

Haaland. Zlatan 2.0 and younger than Mbappe. Be nice to actually be a threat in the air.

Not much has come out recently on this in terms of reports from the media outlets, his post is really the only news so far. Would make me believe he will most likely try and avoid a third surgery and see if he is better after the summer. In terms of comparing him to Umtiti, when you look at the...

Pass.

28! I feel like physically though, I have barely aged. Only thing that has changed is facial hair and my lips/teeth are slightly darker from coffee and spliff :lol: Definitely want to vouch for the activity keeps you young approach. Hell, some men hit peaks physically around 50-60s and age...

Fixed :lol: :lol: All you can do with stuff like that. Lets see if we can start a campaign with all the Karens in the US to send their thoughts, prayers and magical bake sales to heal his knee!

Other updates from this morning: It's not possible anymore to only remove part of his meniscus. He has already had two sutures, the second of which was hidden by the club. There is no meniscus left for a third procedure, so it would have to be removed entirely. — @fansjavimiguel The club are...

I lost all credibility here with that post with Serena. I'm done, feel free to roast me as much as you want. I'm probably wrong but I think it would be interesting to see at least.
