    Premier League 2022/2023

    Absolute domination by Liverpool this 2nd half. Arsenal are so lucky to even get a point here. 2 unbelievable saves by Ramsdale.

    Premier League 2022/2023

    The speed this match is played at is incredible. It's been full intensity sprinting for both sides for pretty much the entire half, up and down, hardly any stops in play.

    Federico Valverde

    Don't want to be dismissive but it was allegedly said 3 months ago. Surely taking revenge this far down the line is a bit odd. Think Baena deserves to give his version of events before we judge anyone for what happened.

    La Liga 2022/23

    Fear is not why they won that CL last year. It was two players : Benzema converting every single tiny chance that came his way and Courtois saving almost every shot. That CL is not repeatable... Those two were playing at all time legendary levels and probably won't happen again.

    La Liga 2022/23

    They won't win the CL. They are not soon to be 15 points behind this Barca for no reason. They can't keep defying logic forever and I think they lose either this or next round with Ancelotti to be sacked soon after.

    La Liga 2022/23

    I wouldn't be surprised if Villarreal end up becoming 3rd best team next season. They are very well organised and play some great football, with some fast physical players too, and Setien will have time to work. Likes of Atletico and Bilbao only getting worse at the same time.

    La Liga 2022/23

    Madrid aren't very good. It beggars belief how we lost 4-0 to them.

    La Liga 2022/23

    Tbh, whenever I watch Villarreal, they look like a very solid and organised team. Positionally great and always try to play football. The results haven't been going their way recently but they look like a good footballing team.

    La Liga 2022/23

    I think a ref would be hesitant to give a red seeing he won the ball, but it's a dangerous tackle.

    Copa is something, but it's a second tier trophy. Ultimately CL, then LL/league, are the two top priorities for any top team.

    They haven't made CL quarterfinals for 13 years. This was their first time since 2010.

    Eduardo Camavinga

    He will become one of the best LBs in the world if he stays at that position. He is perfectly suited for that role. As a midfielder he doesn't give a high level and I imagine soon he will be converted full-time to left back.

    Xavi Hernández

    Being completely fair, Xavi deserves another season to show the culmination of his project after winning LaLiga. There is big question marks over knockout games and if our title this year was very lucky or not etc but winning a league title in this fashion is a great achievement and he should...

    Xavi Hernández

    Bayern's net spend per year pretty much never surpasses 60 or 70m and is frequently close to zero. They don't spend that much, they aren't a great example if you want to talk about big financial giants who we can't compete against. A lot of their players were very cheap too.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    More athletic players tend to get injured more. It is usually the slower and weaker players that tend to stay injury-free.

    6 - Gavi

    He's talented - he can do things with the ball some players wouldn't dream of, that is precisely the problem. He has a lot of ability yet is never showing it and just playing like a standard workhorse midfielder with some extra square ups and hard man acts. He can do a lot more than he's doing...

    Xavi Hernández

    Frenkie and Christensen played in both legs. Those are their best players other than Rashford and Casimero. Should have been a cakewalk to knock them out if you think their most important players are 'random'. Also not sure why you're playing up Dembele after calling him shit the entire season.

    Franck Kessie

    Yes, he gave away the pen, but otherwise had a good game and a great first half. I don't think we lost because of the pen, we were being flooded after the 2nd goal. For rotation he's more than fine, there are better teams with worse backups than him. Fair point about mistakes, he seems to lack...

    Xavi Hernández

    The argument about injuries continually assumes that all our opponents have their squads fit 100% of the time and never have injury issues. When United were missing Eriksen, Martial, Antony, Sabitzer, Lisandro, 4 of those are key players when fit, and we missed Pedri and Dembele. Is injuries an...
