I agree with the rest of your post. But bold is actually a bit of a myth. They even discussed it on Redcafe. Who can you really name who has left and did really well after leaving? McTominay, yes. Apart from him? Maybe one or two others. A few went on to win Serie A with Inter as solid...

I generally think how xG is arrived at is very weird. But in this case it makes some sense. Rashford's goals must have been low xG as they were both very well taken, and I can't remember that many other clear cut chances for Barcelona. On the other hand, Newcastle had a chance or two early on...

Yeah I know of the success of their national team, just wondering why Ecuador in particular are experiencing a good moment and doing so well with youth development. I seen Messi983 mention Independiente del Valle above too. What are they doing right that other countries in South America are...

Congratulations.

Hansi Potter?

Naughty Jury is still out but I am prepared to admit that I have been overly critical

Yes I am chilling on the fella. I think I will go easy on him a bit. It's just a game. But I want him to be consistent. He doesn't have to do that last night every game - that's unrealistic - but he has to be good in 70 percent of games minimum.

Ruben, that you? What have you done with Fin?

He's not easily impressed - unless you're Ronaldo :unsure:

Do you all think they might play better against Chelsea on Saturday? Chelsea played on Wednesday night, difficult game away at Bayern, have to travel to Manchester. United have had more time on the training pitch, so in theory they should be better rested and prepared. But like I have written...

3 minutes too long to listen to that accent. Just post the transcript.

I notice you love him as a player, you are in here a lot. Don't blame you, he's top 5 in world player imo.

Still early obviously but he looked really really good tonight. Assured, confident, claiming crosses. Not that much to save but made them well with no mistake.

Good analysis.

True but I think he knew he couldn't win the midfield battle. He could have tried with physicality but he probably knew they'd get passed round, so went the high press route to try to stop the ball coming into Barca midfield in first place. Problem is you cannot keep that intensity up all game...

They're very good in central midfield. They're just not elite like PSG and Barca, as you, me and serghei all said on recent pages. At the top level of the game, the difference between an 8 out 10 and a 9.5 is enormous.

Even now I am a 43 year old man, Kanu's first name will never not be funny.

Hahaha great minds, I just sent something similar (see above lol). and thanks

Also @KingLeo10 good to see you online. Haven't seen you on as much for the last month or two.

Yeah he got a good win tonight. Let's hope Rashford can maintain it as it would be nice to see Barca do the double or even the treble.
