That is what he was. Martinez has used those tactics a few times with Everton among others famously against Arsenal when we beat them 3 nill.

As an Everton fan I believed at the time and still do when Utd bought him that Lukaku is the best striker in the world. He may not have the silkiest of first touches but it's not near as bad as people make out. Everything else he's up there with the best. Heading, clininal, pace, strength...

He was great that season but he still wasn't as good as before. He's still fantastic today. He's just not in my opinion up there with Pele or peak Maradona.

The inconvenient truth is that he's not the same Messi that won four ballon d'ors in a row and hasn't been the same since Barca played him against PSG with a torn hamstring. That Messi was the GOAT but today he's just a very good player however not one who is good enough to make up for that...

I watched the City game. Sane, KDB and Silva were awful and Jesus barely touched the ball. He tried to play more defensive with Gudogan but came up against the blitzrieg attack of liverpool. His big players had a bad game and the crowd and opponents were lethal.

I thought he did ok. He was never good enough to start for Barca but when he did he was fine. Of the bench he's even more inconsistent than when he starts and unfortunately for him after the Malaga game when he actually had one of his better games it was clear at best he was only going to be...

It's not limited to Bayern but they probably are the worse and it's a problem that is only going to get worse as transfer fees go through the roof. Ultimately clubs will have to sell once a player reaches 2 years and if the player refuses they will have to stick him in the reserves to force the...

I'm afraid not. Everton are owed a large % of any sell on fee. Barca will probably end up losing money on this deal.

He's fantastic in fifa. I actually prefer using him over Messi. It was probably the main reason I did this want us (Everton) to sell him.

True but they also tire in the 2nd half in most games so if they aren't ahead or worse loosing they struggle.

Theres been a lot of top players linked with us since we got new owners. None of them have come.

I can't say I watches a lot of Wolf's burg but he was awesome when they played us in the Europa and that was 3 years ago. I was surprised Jose let him go. Just think, Chelsea could have had Hazard and KDB.

Because they try to blow teams away in the first 30 mins. Klopp's tactics are like mine when I play Fifa 18

If he played for Everton they would have a different opinion. A lot of the London media are Spurs fans.

Dirty player who looks the kind of character who won't be able to maintain a career at the top. At the very least he needs to leave England before their media tear him apart, although playing for Spurs does help.

He's still only 23. Another 3 years of development playing for a good Series A team will improve his football IQ. But let's be honest. His career hadn't been a disaster. It's just not quite reached the heights required to be a starter at Barca.

City will dominate for as long as Pep is in charge and give the age of the squad I can see that being another 3 to 5 years before Pep takes over the Spain national side.

Exactly. Getting this group of players playing like this is far more impressive than what he achieved with Barca. I also think the speed and competitiveness of the BPL has forced Pep to go up a gear. We (Everton) even handed him his worst defeat 4-0 so unlike the other leagues it hasn't been...

I think PSG will suffer from playing in an easy league and won't be able to go up a gear. The Spanish teams look poor (for them) this year so I really think it will be an English club and City are by far the best. In the past I have been very critical of the BPL too so I'm no fan boy. Obviously...

At the time I thought they were the best team ever but this man City team maybe better for the reason you gave. I think Pep has solved that defensive weakness with his tactics even if the players aren't as good.
