    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Where will we find a 36 year old striker with 34 goals in 38 appearances? Those are numbers put up by all time legends. He will genuinely be incredibly difficult to replace. This season is proving he is a generational striker, and really what he needed was to lighten the load, because he was...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    It was pointed out so many times here, by the same people, me included, that our goals conceded rate at that time was not sustainable and would not hold against better opposition. We benefitted from opponents missing clear chances (which happens, sure) but more importantly, when teams started...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Attack is the best form of defense. Playing keepaway ball and conservative slow buildup gets you hammered by the top sides. That only works against teams that can't challenge you for possession. Football has changed, its quick, its fast, its physical, and this is the style that dominates games...

    In regards to Lewa, two words, and there's nothing more to say : Fucking. Legend.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Ferran is simply a victim of circumstance, the expectation when he came here has distracted people from what the reality is. He is starting to look like he is almost worth it. Yes, he is not a star player, and we are well aware of that, but the role he's found as a supersub has been extremely...

    23 - Jules Kounde

    Football has become faster and faster, and more and more physical. The types of players we saw some decades ago may never exist anymore unfortunately. The most effective footballer these days is a fast, strong one, who can play with one or two touches, and pass the ball quickly. Modern football...

    What will we win this year

    Koeman would have been a great sporting director. Even though he didn't work out as a manager (predictably) he was very good at identifying talent. Maybe sometime in the future he can come in as a TD and work in the backroom team.

    What will we win this year

    So your argument is essentially the same players who were there under Xavi are playing better now, therefore the squad is better. Well. Not sure how I can respond to that. It seems a bit of a desperate argument to try and drag down the team's current achievements. Raphinha is 28. A 6 month...

    Genuinely not sure how you come to this conclusion.

    What will we win this year

    PPG is not really a useful statistic outside of any context, last season we were miles off the pace and had already lost the league mid season, we strung together wins at the backend of the season. It would be akin to pointing out how Madrid had an incredibly poor season during Xavi's title...

    Flick has converted the haters! Look how optimistic this place is now. Love it.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    By far the biggest mistake the current board made was instantly giving him the huge contract. None of the other mistakes really come close to this one. But, you have to strike out occasionally, it is unfortunate. The Middle East will be interested in him but it is doubtful he will go. One...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    I mean, this is what happens when you aren't good enough to play for your team. You don't play for them. If he wants the feeling of emotional connection he can go somewhere else where he will be a part of the team... But let me guess... He won't for a certain reason (🤑)

    What was the something?

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Wouldn't mind if Lewa wins the ballondor this season tbh (given things work out in CL for him and the team), he deserves it.

    11 - Raphinha

    Its taken from Transfermarkt. Last season he played 1300 minutes in the league and they list him as being fit for 2700 of those. Even if we chop off like 500 minutes or something, he was never undisputed starter until this season, really. Then, before that, Dembele was mostly preferred over him...

    11 - Raphinha

    He is saying this because he wasn't regularly starting under Xavi. In his last season he played like 50 percent of minutes he was available for in La Liga.

    Champions League 2024-25

    Any CL KO has the chance to be dangerous, and it would be one of a very very long list of CL upsets where teams got complacent, it is so easy to fall into complacency in the CL. Teams never learn from this. I am sure Flick is aware of this though and no doubt we will be taking the game as...

    Liverpool

    Nunez can also play on the wing. He is more of a forward than a striker. He has the type of chaotic style that will probably suit Atletico and their defensive football well.
