Nagelsmann has one the most annoying and arrogant faces to look at in world football atm

Fumbles the ball in important situations, and his hold up play is below par. Expect him to atleast get a shot in when receiving the ball in the box with that much space, FDJ's pass was pretty accurate and clean too.

Must admit I no longer consider Alba a good option against quality opponents in European competitions.

He didnt rotate the teenagers who's played the most and consistenly runs the most, Pedri and Gavi. Only Balde who has played the least in our strongest back four. Christensen is a mature pro, played regularly at Chelsea for 6 years and played a CL final aswell as Semis in the Euros with...

I see no reason why Balde shouldn?t have started. he could have rotated against cadiz instead, it was clear that our defensive insecurity was affecting the team all throughout the game until Balde and AC came on. Even switching Kounde and Araujo turned out to be the wrong choice, Kounde is...

Really tried to tell everybody that he wasn't a new Lenglet or rich mans Lenglet or whatever people her were saying.

Incredibly satisfying to finally see some speed on the team. Kounde and Christensen were almost the two most advanced players on the pitch, yet first ones back. Covered almost the whole pitch in something like 10 seconds. Beautiful.

Christensen has been consistently class whenever he hasn't been injured. Think people in here were unreasonably skeptical of him from the start, even tho it's true he's had some mental issues at times, it has affected very few games over the span of his carreer in top football so far. And even...

He was slow in all aspects of the game until the first goal. Had poor awareness, quite a few poor passes and lost his duels. Grew into the game and played well later on tho, but really looked like the odd one out of Pedri, Gavi and FDJ who all started much better.

Tbh not that useful of a comparison. Demb?l? also left the pitch, and the match changed significantly, too many other factors could be at play. Other than that, hope Xavi keeps trying different midfield setups and formations without Busi and his special skills.

sounds tempting indeed

Both De Jong and Dembouz were subbed off as a precaution due to some discomforts they had according to Xavi.

:bruise:

Definitely our most underrated signing so far. Not as aggressive or physically imposing as Araujo, but a smart guy with good awareness, enough speed and solid defending fundamentals. Like I said earlier, was an absolute no brainer on a free that would be a significant on all our defenders form...

Had it been Pirlo or Modric spraying those perfectly weighted passes all over the pitch, being absolute class on the ball, I imagine you'd be giving them much more credit and praise. Yes Messi was an absolute freak of nature for most of his career, but what he's lost he makes up for in other...

Gr8 comparison.

Stunning how he's managed to make such a shitty ending out of an otherwise very impressive career. Never been on the same level as Messi IMO, but didn't think he'd self destruct so badly literally within the same month of Messi securing his legacy as one of the absolute GOATs of the game...

Kylian was a ghost for 80 minutes, with his team having no shots on target. Then almost had his penalty saved, with Dibu getting a hand on in. A penalty that came out of nowhere due to Otamendi clowning about. Then scores a beautiful goal, but even then Martinez gets hands on it, and again is...

Messi hitting 54% this season, with 3,76 succesful dribbles per 90, better than Ney, Vini, Mbappe and Dumbele in both metrics:messi: And this at 35 years, getting slower with each passing day as BBZ would say.

Trying to credit Fati's succes when he first emerged to buzz or luck is trying a bit too hard imo. Sure, there was alot of buzz and hype, but this kid was 16, and breaking all sorts of records in Barcelona, CL etc. Also, he was not a fluke. You could see from his very first appearance that he...
