    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Yeah you make fair enough points there. I am not FULLY convinced, but definitely what you say is very reasonable to say and makes sense. Redcafe can be good when it's not about United or their rivals or anything like that, as it is brutally biased towards their own team. There are a lot of very...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    So I read through this earlier - a lot of interesting stuff, good discussion points, and some hot takes I wasn't sure of too. But overall it was a good discussion that I liked reading. I notice you said Yamal is not on Neymar's level technically. I am not convinced about that and I am one of...

    Iñigo Martínez

    Yeah I usually like and agree with a good amount of what jamrock says too, Zeni. I have liked Kimmich for a long time, but he is getting older, has more injury issues, and does appear to be on the slide a bit. I also think his composure under pressure looks worse than it used to, whether he's...

    Manchester United

    They really should have lost again tonight, lol. They did make mistakes themselves though - Dalot has awful positioning and his decision to cross to Rash instead of Hojlund (latter was in a better position) in the second half was criminal.

    Europa League

    In hindight, should have stuck to 2-2. That's two Man United games in a row I have cost myself points by changing at last moment. Got Rangers-Steaua completely wrong too, lol. I believe I still have 5/9 correct outcomes tonight, which is ok.

    Europa League

    I don't rate him but to be fair he has done that fairly often this season, he is capable of a wonder save or two. It's not his first double save of the season. They needed that and the Ugarte block too because Fener have been the better team tbh. Eriksen is still very good technically - lovely...

    Europa League

    @Fati_Future_BallonDor Not a bad start with the early games - just a shame was unable to swing an exact with one of these five close It would have been 6/7, but PAOK equalised in the 93rd minute (the live now games are finished, just not been updated yet on the site).

    Europa League

    Tadic, Saint-Maximin and En-Nesyri is a pretty good front three to go up against United. The Moroccan is exactly the type of strong, annoying number 9 that United have struggled with in recent years. With Dzeko to come off the bench maybe too I think both defences could be shaky so I am going...

    Sergio Busquets

    Sneijder was a player I rated a lot. But he needs to stay off the pies rather than worrying about Busquets's personality or perceived lack of guts.

    Europa League

    I can't decide between 2-2 in this game or 3-2 Fener.

    Yes, Brest are at an enhanced level right now.

    Champions League 2024-25

    Likely need 17 points to grasp top 8. The Footballer Manager players will have run the sims. Fewer might do it but I don't think so. So that means Barca would need another 11 points from 15. Doable.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    The 5-0 drubbing of Real Madrid is the surely peak level any football team can attain. It was perfection.

    CL Round 3: Barca - Bayern 4-1

    It's very easy to say and much harder to do, but try to look to the future mate. You can't change the past. This is an exciting young team that has a lot to look forward to.

    Erling Haaland

    Wikipedia talks some amount of bollocks. Noel Gallagher clearly edited this: ' A prolific goalscorer and widely regarded as one of the best players in the world, Haaland has all the attributes of a complete centre-forward.[169][170][171] He uses his sizeable frame to hold play up effectively...

    Real Madrid

    Just watching highlights of all the games again in the CL. I know it sounds bitter but how many times did balls bauble off Dortmund players or come off them and into a RM player's path? It happened for at least three of their goals. Vasquez's goal for example - nothing square pass, deflects back...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Yes I agree, it's really mostly any injuries curtailing development and potential burn out factor that concern me. But the Barca coaches and staff will hopefully manage him sensibly. Anyway thanks for the discussion here - I have enjoyed it. But it is 1.30 am and I really should try to sleep...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    That's my fear too, and @Don Juan Laporta Estruch keeps trying to reassure those of us who are more pessimistic individuals in general that Lamine will have an all-time great level career. He really can have that, but it is so difficult to be brilliant from as young as 16 to as old as 33/34/35...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Probably Pele was the last one to be such a young prodigy. He scored in the World Cup Final - two goals - aged 17. R9 maybe too. But even then, R9 was an unused sub at 17 in USA 94 (though doing well at club level) and almost a full year older than when Yamal was starring in and winning the...
