Busquets is the most respected player in the squad after Messi. If he wants to stay here starting until he's 37, he will, and no matter how rubbish is actual play is it will be justified with how his "unseen genius" is winning us matches. Just hope he has mercy on us after 2023.

When it looks to good to be true it probably is. The positive media campaign after the last match to make it seem like Griezmann was flying here, Setien had unlocked the keys to the team, the players had come together and we were going to play champagne football from that point forward after one...

Would rather drop Busi and go with Pjanic-De Jong-Roberto, but not realistic I know. Also Vidal is pretty much shite in any role greater than injecting a bit of life into the team as a sub. If Rakitic stays he will get many minutes simply based on being a veteran and never being injured. If Puig...

I would agree with this assessment if I was confident Madrid could keep up a 90 point pace next season, but they could also very easily implode without some good attacking reinforcements. Cannot win matches 1-0 forever. They will likely finish the season with fewer than 70 GF. That is horrific...

This is the position Milan had the ball. One lone attacker with no options and two defenders around him. No midfielder's first instinct in this scenario is to sprint back as hard as they can because this a routine situation for defenders. It is better to stay a little forward so you can be an...

What exactly is the mistake he made there? Ronaldo tried dribbling through the midfield like an idiot, lost the ball and Milan started a counter. What did you expect Pjanic to do there? He did his job covering the passing lanes for the cut back. He is not a defender.

He played well. Shambolic defense leaked goals. Juve completely lost the midfield once Ramsey and Matuidi were subbed on for Pjanic and Rabiot.

Don't worry about him winning the CL, Juve have big problems. They'll be lucky to get past Lyon.

Pjanic has been very good. Great technically, always evading his man and making a forward pass. And Sarri thinks its a good idea to replace him for fecking Matuidi when they're looking for a goal?

Juventus comical defending. :lol:

Doesn't mean we've signed him yet, just that we've reached an agreement to extend his 111m release clause until the end of the transfer window on October 4th.

One underestimated aspect about youngsters getting playing time next season is that the number of substitutions allowed a match should return back to 3 instead of 5. Right now we can see almost every promising player getting some time on the pitch. Opportunities will be far more limited next season.

Our kit for the 2020/21 season got posted on Sweden's Nike website. Really nice in my opinion. Did not like our shirt the past 3 seasons at all. Thin stripes and the checkered pattern did not do it for me. This could be the best since 14/15. Have to see it on the pitch to decide if it's better...

Trincao would be lucky to have half the career Di Maria has had.

People need to take it easy on him from both sides. Let's wait and see what he becomes. He is 17 and is homegrown product that doesn't have a massive fee attached to him. If he becomes world class that would be great, but even if the kid only turns out to be a super-sub option I won't be...

Encouraging signs. League is done and dusted, but if we can build from this maybe we can put together a decent run in the CL. Need to see it in more than one match though because we have a history of playing some good football against Villarreal in previous seasons only to return to our regular...

Let's not forget United have been shite for 7 years on the trot now and have had countless transfer flops. It is also not like they have "arrived" yet and joined the big boys. They've shown some improvement recently, but let's not get carried away here. They're still 5th in the table behind the...
