I could see a player like Coutinho or Kovacic making it here as our LM. We need someone who is very strong on the ball and can at least dictate the tempo a bit like Iniesta does and Xavi did. We can't replace them but playing 3 crazy slow midfielders where both CMs excell at nothing and just...

How you can say he is shit after he played such a great game against us is worrisome. Kinda makes it seem like you have no idea what you're talking about...

Almost every player needs to take time to adapt, especially in his case where he was given very limited playing time in a stacked team and midfield. Each time he played he showed massive effort and workrate and you could see he had tons of quality-making good runs, dribbling into space with his...

What?! He was running non stop and covering a lot of space. It's not easy defending for two positions because all Messi does is walk around all game. He played fine. Mascherano was the clear worst player not only in the first half but entire game.

Yea Kovacic is a hidden gem and not given the recognition he deserves. He's fast, has vision and defends very well. Not to mention his workrate, he never stops. He's twice the player Gomes is.

Why foul someone with a few minutes left when their back is to the net, 2 yards from the sideline...at the 30 yard line. Just total nonsense.

Gomes walks around all game long. No idea how people are all over Arda for not working hard but are defending Gomes for some reason. Being slow isn't an excuse to jog around all game long.

All his qualities I was complaining about when we signed him are what people are complaining about now. What happened to the "you don't need to be fast in our midfield, look at Xavi!"? The kid didn't even impress at the Euros but we signed him for big bucks anyway. He was such a what,huh...

Being isolated has nothing to do with both passing to no one or the other team repeatedly. He's been just bad, despite Lucho's tactics or lack thereof.

Dear God, has he made a completed pass yet?! Absolutely awful. Just awful.

Yea let's just keep rotating and starting players despite form and with complete lack of logic. They need time to develop...

He will get his chance, Klopp would never sell Coutinho in the winter when he's performing at this level and LFC is in a serious position to fight for the league and CL spot. We'll have plenty of time to see how Gomes and Denis adapt as CMs. I think Arda has already displayed enough for us to...

Except they are two totally different players. Fabregas required everyone around him to suit his style of play to shine. Not to mention we intended for him to play CM, and when he couldn't we forced him into false 9 and he is both small, weak and slow as a turtle. As soon as he didn't adjust to...

Dan Alves defending was underrated for someone who was so amazing at attacking. He was just very bad in the air.

He's played pretty well for Brazil when given the chance. He's very young and has a lot of talent. Too young and too early to know if it's just hype. Not sure he's going to get as many minutes as he'd like at City though with Pep having multiple forward options ahead of him and having De Bruyne...

All players who look like lampposts when we get counter-attacked. Gomes has a lot of improving to do before he even deserves that position. He's just lucky Arda sucks there, Rafinha is left footed and the rest of the midfielders are playing even worse. Denis impressed the most, but for every...

I don't even consider Gomes or Arda, all 80mil of them, to even be considered AM. They don't have pace or are good finishers. Arda is a good dribbler but Gomes isn't even. Gomes seems to be smarter though and understand the role better than Arda already. The only true AM is Rafinha and Coutinho...

I understand that. That's exactly why I took the time to explain how to compensate his work rate in the entire rest of tthe post. No trolling. People called me a troll and idiot too when I said we should play Messi back at RW and buy a CF. It happened though. Then we won another treble...

Messi isn't declining because of lack of effort or age, it's quite clear that he has a persistent muscle issue. 2 seasons ago at 27 he was running at the defenders all season long like he always had. Then he had a few muscle injuries and they've been nagging him ever since. You just don't enjoy...

I wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't, because other than to the Valencia fans- he was a nobody and still is. I was saying it before we signed him, and I'm saying it now. What sense did it make to bring in a player that isn't even better than what we had in Munir. You could tell Sandro didn't...
