    He won't. If you have watched football for as long as I have the signs are there - you can see it coming a mile off. He failed a lot of the time when it matters in his prime so he will definitely underperform in the crunch time now he's past it. This will be Flick's undoing.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Yeah I am not denying he has been world-class. Just saying as a player he is very bland and by the numbers. He scores loads of goals but would you pay to watch him? Others 'achieved' less but were far more talented. I agree too, I get on with Temptation but he is taking this fanboy behaviour...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Not sure why you are laughing - are you denying the individual should be subservient and secondary to the team? Or that Bayern had a monopoloy over the Bundesliga? Or that Robert's all-round game isn't really that good relative to players he is compared to? All seem fair shouts to me.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    The problem with not looking beyond goal stats, or context. The guy scores goals but even at his best he was only acceptably good in the link up phase. Really good hold up play but clearly someone like Modric, Xavi or Iniesta are much better footballers than him. Iniesta and Xavi ar 100 times...

    Yeah I was just joking, but there is a serious debate about that sort of thing in France. I am not really a fan of Zidane as a coach but will be interesting if he gets the job.

    Reported for discrimination against bald people... Just joking.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    That's because of the increasing, mind-numbing, dull as fuck American influence on and corruption of our game, which attempts to drill a highly qualitative game such as football down to boring numbers. Other reasons for it is the internet era and being able to aggregate all sorts of stats, as...

    There must be something about being LW Number 7 at Real Madrid that makes players cunts.

    Premier League 24/25

    Liverpool are good but the PL has been weak this season. I think they're a step down from Klopp's best teams but don't have peak City to go against.

    Premier League 24/25

    That's not really true, it can be but other coaches have got their ideas across quite quickly. Maresca, De Zerbi himself when he went to Brighton. Amorim seems a good coach, but that club is unfixable and he needs to work miracles there. I will make a bet with you (if I am still here by then)...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Stuff like 'experience, guidance to the youngsters' always makes me laugh when people desperately use them about clearly failing veteran players like Lewy and Ronaldo. They are vague, nebulous, intangible 'qualities' just like 'mentality' is. They can never be proved or measured or seen like a...

    He's a good player but this is an ordinary world.

    Yeah it was a fun game and the Rangers fans were singing like mad. It's just a shame about that one moron throwing the coin at Engels. I enjoyed it though. I don't support Rangers anymore, and the quality of football isn't good, but you see the odd flash of good play - mostly from Cerny and...

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    Even in 22-23 he scored more than half his PL goals in a 10 game period. Boosted the rest of it in the cups and Europa League. And his general play was as appalling as ever. He's a purple patch player - a fraud who fools those who don't analyse him deeper. Plus since then his attitude and...

    Álex Valle

    CCV is quite average on the ball I think. He's more of a big brute battering ram, an old-school defender. Some may disagree but that is how I think of him - good defensively but a problem on the ball. Teams seem to target him for the press in Europe as well. Yeah I thought it was strange Taylor...

    True, the league has seen players like Van Dijk, Frimpong and a few others play there in the last 10 years and subsquently step up to a much higher level. Tierney did well at Arsenal for a while too. And Wanyama at Spurs.
