    Antony

    My talent ID is poor for not rating Zirkzee? Come on lad. For me, he flatters to deceive with a few nice touches in the middle of the park. He's a 5 a side player. What has he done there or in his career to justify mocking anyone who doesn't rate him? I actually do rate Diallo in terms of...

    Antony

    It's not either/or - Amorim can be struggling and the players can be not good enough too. Both things can be true at once. Amorim hasn't lived up to his reputation, but these players will never be competitive no matter who coaches them. Antony is obviously doing better than he did there, but...

    Bruno Fernandes

    Thanks. Fair enough. It's just my opinion. I also agree they'd be even worse if you took him out of there. He makes them a bit better than they'd be without him, but as we can see with all the evidence, it is nowhere near enough to make them even a decent or good team. I just feel if they...

    Bruno Fernandes

    Him needing to be the hero and have everything go through him is a big part of why they're so bad. Although obviously they have a lot of poor players and the coach isn't covering himself in glory either. They need a team, not him constantly spamming passes. He also disappears against good...

    Alessandro Bastoni

    Yeah I agree. Saliba is really good but benefits a little from PL hype. I prefer Bastoni myself. Better defensively.

    Dean Huijsen

    He's impressed me a few times this season, played especially well at Old Trafford (which opposition player doesn't, admittedly). But he looks good. Tall, good in the air, intelligent marking, good on the ball and good under pressure. He needs to fill out body wise for a centre half, but he's...

    Barca squad/XI 2024/25

    He's a very good player but feel it might be a case of the stats outweighing the performances. I think Lamine has probably been more involved in open play throughout the season for their resepective teams. Like I say though, Dembele is a great talent, and it's good to see him fulfil some of his...

    Summer 25 transfer priority

    Goalkeeper or striker. Obviously Lewy has been good for Barca at points, but he will be 37 at the start of the season. Much too old for a number 9. Torres can't really be trusted to lead the line. Szczesny has always been a good goalkeeper, but isn't elite, especially at his age. Though Barca...

    Antonio Rüdiger

    Not officially, clinically psychotic, but definitely violent and aggressive.

    Antonio Rüdiger

    Well I wouldn't say I am neutral, because even though I don't support any club, I have preferences and much prefer Barca to Real M. Lol. Their entitlement is staggering. But yes, for anyone of sound mind, the way he behaves is terrible. When he threw something at the ref in the Copa Final it...

    Antonio Rüdiger

    His behaviour is appalling. He's a violent psychopath who happens to be good at football. The entitlement in that team and club is beyond parody.

    Bundesliga

    First photo in white shirt staring into camera doesn't even look like him. Even his face looks a different shape, squarer and wider, not as long.

    Manchester United

    I think they are done as a club for a long time to come. The two main trophies for 'elite clubs' are the domestic league and the CL. They haven't won either for twelve years and that looks like going on a lot longer. Unless there's a collapse by the numerous teams above them they will...

    16 - Fermín López

    Looks a quality player to me. I like him.

    Summer Olympics Paris - 2024

    Can't see an Athletics thread so put this in here. Diamond League started back up again. Also swimming then athletics world championships over the coming months. 1 week for each. Looking forward to it.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Yeah think that was it Horatio mate. Now you mention it I am sure it was Leganes. Barca were woeful that night but got over the line. Only time I have watched them they've been poor. Actually I watched that 2-4 loss to Osasuna too. Other than them two games Barca have been great every time, win...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    While he's right and that is true, it is still a risky game to be involved in basketball games all the time. HOWEVER, you can say it is high risk high reward - Barca score so many goals because they take risks at the back, and they take risks at the back so they can score more goals. Is it...

    Premier League 24/25

    Have dropped to 55th in the world and 20th in UK (out of 75,000 and 27,000). Still extremely high but disappointing after being tenth in the world a few weeks ago. Am limping over the finish line. Last week was particularly tough - so many upsets and the community average was 2 correct outcomes...
