I think he's a decent coach, but 'clear his name' made me laugh. It sounds like he's been on trial for theft or something lol.

True. I agree with you. Many people will boil it down to stats even though they shouldn't. I agree there. I just posted in Ronaldo's thread about it. Thinking Messi is Ronaldo's superior is a popular opinion, the general consensus. However, thinking he's much better, as I do, is less common...

I disagree about Ronaldo (both on his looks, i don't rate his looks and many women don't too and the other stuff, Messi was far better at football outside of just stats). I don't think Ronaldo comes close to Messi, but we can disagree there. Bellingham to me is a good player but more of an end...

Like I said in his thread, the striker market doesn't seem that great now. Is there a single striker in the world (other than Haaland) who measures up to Lewy himself in his prime, Suarez, Benzema, Aguero, Zlatan? I think as inverted forwards became popular maybe fewer young players wanted to...

I know nothing about how good most teams are other than what I gleaned from the Olympics. At the risk of sounding Eurocentric I expect the best teams are all in Europe? I could google it in seconds I guess. Looking at the wikipedia page Egypt are the only non-Euro team in the top pot so I guess...

Yeah it is a bit weird to discuss some players' looks but Tempt kept dragging me into it. I don't really care, other than Ronaldo who I never understood how any women liked him. But yeah, should stop outside of Caffe Catalonia.

Yes, Lewy seems a decent guy to me, and I would love for him to make me eat my words and help Barca to one or both of the two big trophies. It would be a nice ending to his career to top it off with a CL trophy for Barca then go somewhere else or retire. But it just looks miles away from...

Yeah they might be gambling that they can carry him in general play and hoping he will pop up and finish the chances in enough games to win the league, or enough big games to go deep in the Champions League. However, it is a very risky strategy given his age and his poor general play. In his...

It's one of those where it looks great in photoshopped pics but you know if he grew it in real life candid pics would look nowhere near as good as those. But yeah, it would definitely improve his creepy looks.

No opinion on his comments about Ronaldo as I didn't hear them, but yeah the stuff about Maguire and the Glazers is dumb,

I saw those photos before. He looks a lot better with stubble. Amazing what facial hair can do as he looks awful clean-shaven. However, I doubt he'd look as good as those heavily edited stubble pics irl.

He is a dreadful coach indeed (at least right now). Without sounding like a dickhead he doesn't come across as the smartest of guys so probably not cut out to be a coach. Not to say coaches have to be very intelligent but he seems like he's lacking a lot in that regard. Did he really say...

Yeah I said that myself. Temp's big love for him puts people on here off him a bit. Though their love and care for Barca probably overrides what an internet poster they've ever met does. But it does play a big part. Bayern are a huge club, as are Barcelona. Obviously Bayern players of past...

But the thing is, as people rightly note - if everyone agrees he's past his prime and well in decline - why should people be happy he is playing up front for Barcelona at his age?

I don't see why people would be biased against him though, mate? It isn't a Ronaldo situation where he behaves badly and is a rival of a Barca player. Lewy is pretty inoffensive as a person and plays FOR Barca. I think people just genuinely don't rate him at his age. Now, if you are saying they...

We will see what happens. Maybe I am too dogmatic and in being a big proponent of eye test. I also have a big liking for seeing mistakes in games and where they can be improved, and not believing 'moments' (whether it be a tackle, a save, a pass or the ultimate moment, a goal) compensate for...

The problem as has been discussed ad infinitum though is that he scores goals but doesn't do anything else. His all-round performances seem to be to the detriment of the team and he needs to be carried in general play. Fanboys on twitter rave over his scoring stats. Those stats conceal all the...

'He's a liability unless he scores right now.' That sentence sums it up exactly. Some forwards do stuff like in the video multiple times in a game, but score a goal and it is all forgotten. What is never remembered is the hypothetical goals better play could have led to. No player is perfect of...

Neither was the telegraph.

Good one.
