    Hans-Dieter Flick

    It's not even specifically about running, its about discipline in general, like passing to teammates when they have an open goal, holding your position, sharing the ball etc. There are a lot of signs of greed from our attack specifically.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    I wrote this at the start of the season but we are not in struggle mode anymore, that is, the players are starting to see themselves as superstars again. When you have your back against the wall its easier to work. It is harder to keep going once you achieved your fame, a big contract etc. As...

    Xavi Hernández

    Not that he can't have his own tactical vision. But every manager gets many things wrong. And the 'meta' of football is constantly changing especially at the top, what worked last season might not work this one and so on. The best ones are constantly changing how they play to reflect that. I...

    Xavi Hernández

    It can manifest in different ways. I always emphasise there is a difference between arrogance and self-confidence. That is, some can believe they are the best, but they know they are the best because of how hard they work, and some believe they are the best without basis. Someone like Pep is...

    Xavi Hernández

    I think he actually has a lot of room for improvement if he can give up his ego and pride. He has some strong qualities. He is just so convinced by his tactical acumen that he will never listen to anyone else on footballing matters and therefore will never improve his weaknesses. If he starts...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Richard Kone at QPR is a special player, we should seriously consider looking at him for the winter or summer window. I am 100% certain he will end up moving to a top club.

    Premier League 25/26

    Liverpool are lucky to have the points they do, they already could have dropped points 2 or 3 more times. Really unconvincing so far this season.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    He talks too much, let him prove himself as a manager before he says anything 🙃

    What are the main flaws you see in Cubarsi?

    6 - Gavi

    Seems like every time the 'conservative' option is chosen player just ends up getting surgery anyway and missing far more time/getting hurt again.

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    I didn't like the idea of signing Diaz honestly, he's on the older side and his end product is very shaky. Paying 70-80 million for him seemed like a bad deal. Rashford is more proven and tbh a better player.

    Xavi Hernández

    It seems clear he is waiting for United, even since he left Barca he speaks about United so much and references their money. Probably will not take too long for Amorim to be sacked, so we will see how he does with the budget he always wanted.

    CL: Barca - PSG 1-2

    We lack a reference point to make the ball stick in attack. Often against teams who press very hard, it can be difficult even with ideal tactics, sometimes you need an attacker who can play with his back to goal and collect long passes. Against very intense pressing like that having a striker...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    He just tries too hard sometimes, it's not that he can't get the better of Mendes, he just treats every opponent the same, which is not always a bad thing, but can be problematic when you face defenders of a high level. In these sorts of games he should recognise the quality of the opponent and...

    7 - Ferran Torres

    The way he came back from being a laughing stock and cast out to being our best squad option without complaining shows enough the guy is mentally strong. It's not easy to come back from that at a big club and keep going. 'Mental fortitude' here probably means composure in front of goal, he can...

    7 - Ferran Torres

    What kind of strikers do you think exist these days? We aren't in the days of R9 or Van Basten. Guys like Gyokeres, Sesko, Ekitike etc sell for 80m each.

    23 - Jules Kounde

    Just too sluggish. Seems like he is a little inflexible. They should be controlling his mass gain, at Sevilla he was much leaner and more athletic. In general, those kinds of things should only be instructed by the team's medical staff, I would imagine it just him personally working to build...

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    Having a backup performing like this is a privilege, what is clear is that we will be able to compete when he plays and when he doesn't.

    7 - Ferran Torres

    I don't agree with what's being written here. I actually think he is a special player. One thing to note with him is he is always improving which is rare at his age. Importantly a lot of the mistakes he's making are things which are easily fixable. I believe if he continues on the same path he...

    Champions League 25/26

    Galatasaray's team is incredibly strong on paper, wow. Singo, Sanchez, Sallai, Torreira, Lemina, Gundogan, BA Yilmaz, Sane, Akgun, Icardi, Osimhen...
