    I am not slagging Xavi, just saying thought he'd be an amazing coach and so far it didn't work out that way. Even if he did do his part.

    Kylian Muppet

    Mbappe is very talented but not as talented as Neymar for me, nowhere near. But yeah, Neymar could and should have achieved a lot more.

    Joan Laporta

    You'd think with Xavi's immense football brain, spatial awareness, and understanding of the game tactically as a player he would be an awesome coach. But it hasn't worked out that way. Goes to show there's a lot more to being a great manager or coach than an extremely high and intuitive...

    Hugo Ekitike

    Wow, that's amazing.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    I heard that too. I don't know if it was finasteride maybe. He developed something called myopathy too, not sure if linked. He always had a rather fat face and round build though, even when he had awesome hair. He will always be remembered for scoring the winning goal in a World Cup Final at...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Yeah agree. But he had a lot of ability that he just never fulfilled. And as I say, he had health problems etc. But yes, not at level of Lewy, Gundo and Reus. Or close.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Yeah. I hadn't thought of him for a while, but you mentioning him instantly transported me to 2011, playing FIFA online on PS3 as a 29-year-old. Sometimes going Dortmund and running riot with Lukasz Piczczek, Marcel Schmelzer, Großkreutz, Jakub Błaszczykowski (had to copy and paste this guy's...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    There's a forgotten name from the early 2010s.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Football needs to reduce the number of games, not increase the number of subs. Five subs is already destroying the rhythm of many games.

    Manchester United

    Ah right, people saying it about MATS.

    Manchester United

    I dunno, who said that? I have said since day one that every pass over 30 yards goes out the pitch or to the opponents. Also, true on Newcastle. Though they're already getting their excuses in and saying the league is irrelevant for them anyway lol.

    Alejandro Garnacho

    I know some like him, but he's been really dreadful for ages and gets worse every week. Above average pace, but not lightning, poor dribbler, can't link up, can only cross along the floor, not high, and even then fails to pick people out or put it in good areas often, no football IQ, weak...

    Nico Williams

    Yeah I agree. The finances for Barca aren't in great shape and it makes more sense to strengthen in other areas, if even possible. He seems a luxury buy.

    Manchester United

    They have Newcastle at St James' Park on Sunday afternoon. Newcastle are fighting for CL places so they should take it seriously and really should be winning with their superior physicality, hunger, technique and scoring prowess. Plus Amorim might rest players for this second leg.

    Nico Williams

    He has his uses in some ways, but he is likely limited. One good thing is he links up well with Yamal for Spain. I am on the fence. Part of me thinks he's decent, another thinks he's a low IQ speed merchant. Can't make mind up. Not being able to beat a poor Rangers team when they're done to...

    Manchester United

    Makes some good points that boy (don't agree with everything, but some). Garnacho, Ugarte and Hojlund are indeed all awful.

    Nicolò Barella

    Put it in here too since has now has two threads He's been fantastic for years, as I said to Gazz in my response in the De Jong thread (who is also doing very well right now, incidentally). It doesn't matter to him whether it's Inter or Italy, he does his job well. He works hard, passes well...

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    He's been brilliant for years - one of my favourites

    José Mourinho

    Fair points but this is a bit disingenuous lol. Chelsea were never really a serious contender, at best an upper mid-table team. Mourinho came in when Abramovich bankrolled the club, so he had much more money and resources than previous coaches did (though they did spend a good amount in the 90s).
