Yeah said that for a while myself. Goal tally inflated by Flick's system's bias to attacking, and paper over the cracks of his hopeless all-round game.

He's a fanny of a guy and has very little ability. He's a kick and run merchant with slightly above average pace and who cannot pass or finish. Still can't believe he's fooled people into thinking he's a top talent. Probably because of the comparisons to Ronaldo off the park, Man U fucking hype...

He's a dickhead but he's always been a class technician with good football IQ. He's much better than Rashford, Garnacho, Sancho, Doku, Martinelli and plebs like that. People don't like him as a player because he wasn't getting stats at Man City and wasn't direct enough. But in the latter half...

Get destroyed giving space for balls in behind over the top and down the channels if you don't suffocate the space.

Thanks. I watched the game and found it dull as dishwater. Arsenal are extremely good defensively, but they didn't offer really much in the way of creative football. Liverpool were the same. It had goalless draw written all over it before the wonderful free kick from big Dom. But that's the...

True, but still think he's good enough for a club like Burnley. I never rated that Gyokeres fella much but gonna give him time. Still he doesn't look good at all to me. Looks a big ogre like Haaland. I am sure he will score goals, though. But I wouldn't be expecting silky link up play if I was...

I nearly spat out my water. She'd have swallowed.

Yeah he looked half decent there with that Goncalves fella when I watched them. Think he could have came on yesterday.

Can they do it on a wet night in Bonnie?

Still surprised Parker didn't bring him on yesterday at the Theatre of Delusions. Think he could have troubled them.

Defence is poor imo. You're right, none of the CBs or full-backs are anywhere near good enough for one of the CL big players. Maybe Cubarsi will be as he matures. Though part of it is how he sets up. He could get them tighter defensively, but it would also come at the cost of far fewer goals...

Yeah he's best in the central areas high up the pitch, trying to turn and play in pockets. and play one twos or dribble, making little opening. he's not a deep controller nor is he generally any good when he drifts too far wide, in my opinion.

Fair enough, thanks. Like I say I wasn't really referring to Garcia. Just Porque was referencing a certain style of goalkeeping and saw my chance to say I don't like one trick pony shot stopper GKs (not saying Garcia is that, he's not apparently).

Hahaha ferran torres brother. it's a hard life for a goalkeeper. You have to judge the individual situation - do you rush out and try to close the angle, knowing if you let the forward in he has a better chance of scoring close to goal? Alternatively, that player might round you as you said...

De Gea is like that too. I don't like those type of goalkeepers, though. I prefer all-rounders who are good on crosses, command their box, good with their feet. Casillas and more so De Gea were one trick ponies, and once their reflexes declines they were finished. This has nothing to do with...

Yeah he seems more a silky playmaking genius to me who offers a lot throughout a game without necessarily scoring or assisting loads. Rather than a stats monster. Of course Messi is both, but Messi is a one-off. Of course, he is still a teenager, and he may become that combination of player in...

To be fair he can barely speak his native language so no surprise to hear he's struggling with Spanish big style.

Sadly I agree. Think this season will be a big wake up call for Barca. I have thought so since the summer, but as a non Barca fan it doesn't seem right to criticise in front of a forum of Barca fans. Pedri, Yamal and maybe de Jong are the top class players. The new keeper looks promising...

Need to get into form before Newcastle and PSG come knocking.

How was he when he came on? He didn't get much time to play.
