    La Liga Round 1: Getafe - Barca 0-0

    Fuck it. Start Yamal or give him big minutes.

    Guys, don't get too excited... Serghei said he is basically just a more famous version of Depay...

    You don't need to be fast to be a good winger. Flexibility and general mobility, and of course, technique, are more important. If you can unbalance people with quick turns and fast feet you can be just as effective as a kick and run winger.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    He's been alright. Not amazing. Decent. Great for the league but been disappointing at the top level. Just a little too physically worn out to terrorise the top defenders anymore. Roque might be more useful in the important games as seems a physical presence with a lot of energy so at least he...

    Frenkie is a bargain compared to that.

    2023 Preseason

    Pessimism by odds is going to mostly be right... Because most youngsters don't make it. Easy to hedge your bets and say nobody will make it. But some do. Real analysis would identify a few youngsters in our team who he thinks could make it.

    2023 Preseason

    I agree with your post general sentiment, but the thing is that every prospect usually suffers from these conditions. You have to decipher who is good enough to mitigate these circumstances and make the whole journey. Yamal looks good enough. Imo as long as his career doesn't get seriously...

    Neymar Jr.

    A lot of that money went on players who aren't that good. Likes of Havertz, Tomiyasu, Vieira, Tavares, Kiwior, Ramsdale, even White, none of these guys make our team most likely whilst it cost them hundreds of millions. Most of their budgets have been spent on players who aren't top level...

    Sometimes just seems like he gets so tired he can't do anything with the ball, lol. It's regular to see him falling over or stumbling around when he gets the ball or make tackles, like he is drunk. Exhaustion from needless pressing.

    6 - Gavi

    When Pedri was this age, he made the jump, channeling his technical talent into his gamestyle and is now a pretty polished product who plays like a pro. Gavi instead of using that same talent they both have on the ball is spending development time doing a bad Gattuso impression. Its...

    6 - Gavi

    True. You articulated it very well. He has focused more on 'passion' and 'intensity' which is high floor low ceiling play, rather than actually developing top level technical skills in the long-term. Years are gonna pass and he'll end up no better than when he started.

    6 - Gavi

    He's not actually good at the art of pressing, he is just a lunatic that runs at anything that moves, which naturally forces errors but also leaves huge holes in defense and means when he gets on the ball he is too tired to do anything. If you want a ball winning midfielder there are better...

    Penal Madrid

    Madrid's business been terrible. Lost Benzema, one of their best players, that and replaced him with a career relegation battle level striker, who while being decent, shouldn't be anything more than a sub. That downgrade is huge. Meanwhile forked out for Bellingham who they didn't really need...

    Neymar Jr.

    And we have beat Madrid countless times in the last year. ...? Arsenal got trashed by City both times in the league last year, but them winning a community shield on pens against them proves they are better than us? When we beat Madrid like 5 times in a year and beat them to a LaLiga? Where...

    Penal Madrid

    Serghei will soon come to tell us how De Gea or Lunin are actually better than Ter Stegen, and how Joselu is actually better than Lewandowski.

    6 - Gavi

    You can say that to the people who are being reactionary, but some of us have commented the same thing for almost a year. He's stagnating. Doesn't mean he can't eventually improve but intervention is needed to put him on the right track not this nonsense hard man stuff he's doing now.

    7 - Ferran Torres

    He isn't bad to be honest. He's just raw and clearly isn't done developing as an attacker. Remember that he only started learning striker/forward roles at City. He has talents just needs to fill in the gaps in some of his technique and mental skills.

    6 - Gavi

    You joke but it seems like he's almost embraced that role. He runs around chasing balls he won't get, trying to act the hard man every chance he gets and making ridiculous fouls every game. I struggle to think part of it isn't him wanting to show 'passion'. When the better thing would be to...
