I don't see anything weird with his reaction, as mentioned by others, most top players show some frustration after bad games/getting subbed off. However he's seemed mature and professional in general so it's not worrying.

He can play for teams with simple tactical setups and do very well but for advanced tactical systems like Flick's he will be a big target. It was already noticeable several seasons ago that teams left him on the ball. PSG last season is a good example. Everyone needs to be very comfortable...

Regarding the comments here about post-injury/surgery, he has always ran and moved weirdly. He runs with a lot of tiny steps and with a lot of knee flexion. It's hard to move efficiently like that. Before his injury, he had some of the same issues with movement.

Nothing unexpected. Simone is cold blooded in cup games like Filippo in front of goal 😎

Inzaghi FTW 😎

It's not really an error, its just one of those that you expect your keeper to save sometimes. Those kinds of headers go in regularly and are also saved regularly, but sometimes they will, I wouldn't put it down as a black mark against him.

Simeone is a piece of shit. Never seen such a big club play such terrible football. And to make it worse they always bend over for RM... Time to go! Get in a coach who reflects the size of the club now.

What's new! Same old shit.

Since he's been at the club he has been present for a large number of historic humiliations and been playing in many of them. Cubarsi and Inigo so far have hardly put a foot wrong and have been absolutely rock-solid in games against top opposition. We have had enough time to see what Araujo...

The whole point is Araujo will end up on the bench. At that point he is too valuable to keep as a bench player and you could do much better by selling him. The question in the air is how we will replace Inigo, even though he is clearly rock solid, he is old and somewhat injury prone, what is...

Honestly... Flick arriving wasn't just correct from a sporting standpoint, but also for the reason that he clearly brings the best out of Lewandowski, and his effect on Gnabry is like that of his effect on Raphinha. These pairing will go down in history.

The decisive moments are always what determine who is legendary vs who is just very good. A lot of really good athletes across tons of different sports get forgotten because they didn't make their mark in the most decisive moments, where everyone is watching, but, this could be the season where...

When you play for a team that expects to win every match having some great defending moments and last ditch tackles as your MO isn't enough. He is just too inconsistent on the ball and in his positioning. He needs to be tactically and technically sound. The 11 players are a unit and we can't...

Where will we find a 36 year old striker with 34 goals in 38 appearances? Those are numbers put up by all time legends. He will genuinely be incredibly difficult to replace. This season is proving he is a generational striker, and really what he needed was to lighten the load, because he was...

It was pointed out so many times here, by the same people, me included, that our goals conceded rate at that time was not sustainable and would not hold against better opposition. We benefitted from opponents missing clear chances (which happens, sure) but more importantly, when teams started...

Attack is the best form of defense. Playing keepaway ball and conservative slow buildup gets you hammered by the top sides. That only works against teams that can't challenge you for possession. Football has changed, its quick, its fast, its physical, and this is the style that dominates games...

In regards to Lewa, two words, and there's nothing more to say : Fucking. Legend.

Ferran is simply a victim of circumstance, the expectation when he came here has distracted people from what the reality is. He is starting to look like he is almost worth it. Yes, he is not a star player, and we are well aware of that, but the role he's found as a supersub has been extremely...

Football has become faster and faster, and more and more physical. The types of players we saw some decades ago may never exist anymore unfortunately. The most effective footballer these days is a fast, strong one, who can play with one or two touches, and pass the ball quickly. Modern football...

Koeman would have been a great sporting director. Even though he didn't work out as a manager (predictably) he was very good at identifying talent. Maybe sometime in the future he can come in as a TD and work in the backroom team.
