Think there's some fair points there for sure, about other teams being fitness or physical monsters and that overcoming the talent deficit to the likes of Barca sometimes.

I need to watch him, and the Bundesliga in general. I don't wanna rely on the old misleading YouTube videos. But I did indeed watch one of those videos, and this guy looks absolutely class from that. Very fast, fantastic right foot both when dribbling and passing - can play through balls along...

I know - you are preaching to the choir if you have seen my posts lol. He's nowhere near those players in flair. I am simply saying that THAT version of C Ronaldo was fairly entertaining (nowhere near those players' levels) but far more entertaining than his later self.

Yeah true. You'd think he'd have fit in at Barca like a glove though. Fair point that he hasn't had many great head coaches to learn from. I don't really know where he goes from here. I am expecting he will go to United when his contract runs out, as they seem to be the popular destination for...

Fair enough. Yeah videos can be misleading but I will watch that package later anyway (busy now), and I don't doubt what you say about when watching full games. Thanks for the good post and for expressing your opinions in a clear and thoughtful way.

@fergus90 Going through a rough patch mate. Do you think it's a reversion to a general level after such a brilliant season last season? Or just a blip and hangover after the amazing Bayern result? I did think it would be hard to maintain the level from last season, especially given more games...

Yeah I normally agree with @MontenegrinCuler on football but I really do not rate Leao at all. I acknowledge though that maybe I am being harsh, and that he watches Milan most weeks and I do not watch them as regularly as that. Maybe the guy is better than we give him credit for.

So being serious again, how do you guys see Amorim lining up? He seems wedded to 343/3421, but is there any chance he goes four at the back? Onana's long kicking seems to have improved and he doesn't see as much of a clown these days. Every chance he will regress again, but if he can maintain...

Fair point. You aren't gonna hammer teams every week. Sometimes you have to grind out a win while not playing well - every successful team does this. What I will say is the Robert non-call would have changed the complexion and course of the game, as others have alluded to. But yes, very bad...

I think he's a very good player, I do rate him, I am not getting on his case. However, in this instance,, I tend to agree with @Birdy that an actual, conventional right-back would be better. A player who can consistently attack like Alves used to (not as good as him, obviously). What Kounde does...

Bit of a stream of consciousness here about the type of player he is. Just watched that video again I posted earlier. It's excellent. While his touches were a bit big and his technique was a little scrappy and unrefined, he really did have a lot of ability. I don't really buy that he's a...

For a guy with loads of talent and a lot of press-resistance he hasn't half fucked his career. It's a shame.

Yes, people were writing that he was better in an advanced or number 10 role. For me he has always been a deeper lying player. I don't think he has the killer edge or shooting to play in a more advanced role, though admittedly his ability in tight spaces can be an advantage closer to goal, near...

He does look a real talent to me, as I have said before. Think he could be the DM lynchpin for Barca and Spain for years to come. I know a few people on here are still unsure, but for me he looks like he could really be a mainstay in the teams.

True, I will stop. Cheers.

Yeah, he is a brilliant player and that is a great video, some beautiful touches there. I don't wanna slag him off or anything - it's just me rating him relative to his peers and past strikers, who were also, like him, amongst the best strikers ever. Cheers.

He looks like Bruno Fernandes, if Fernandes wasn't ugly and was indeed quite handsome.

I heard this toolbag say in his post-match interview 'the fantasy players won't be happy with you taking the second goal away from me'. This isn't the first time he's referred to FPL. Why is the imbecile so concerned with that? It should never be on his mind, and he wasn't being funny either. I...

Just watched a brief press conference with Amorim. He seems like an absolute tit. Might well be EtH Mk II. Sorry @Messi983, I know you like this cunt.

Fuck sake, that is even better than the Slot one. Some funny comments on the video: 'That low centre of gravity allows him to change direction quickly. He is the one for the future.' 'makes sense how salah can dribble into tight spaces and defenders struggle'
