    Premier League 2020/2021

    Second sample is still to be known, it could be false positive, at least per Egyptian federation Edit: 2nd sample confirmed He atrended his brother wedding a few days ago btw, and it was crowded

    I have to say, this was a great come back

    Mavericky Puig

    A-I was replying to the general points you make, about coaches making up their mind. It will always happen and I think it is understandable. B-In official matches, Puig got 3 minutes this year, Alena got 7, hardly "being given chances ahead of Puig" Those 2 and Matheus Fernandes has played...

    Mavericky Puig

    It is coaches job to select players or dismiss them, irrelevant of their history. There is 25 players in the squad, they can't give fair chance to everyone either.

    Victor Font

    I look it this way: We were like 5th or something in revenue before Messi era started. after him we are number one and at worst number 3 For RM, they are number 1-3 for at least a decade before CR7, so no surprise they keep revenue after him. Messi is a difference maker when it comes to our...

    8 - Pedri

    Iniesta was older than current Pedri at that time (18 years and 8 months, Pedri completes 18 in 2 weeks) He was getting chance while playing for worst Barca team in this century, against a team that was relegated that year. Pedri performance is very comparable tbh

    8 - Pedri

    I like Pedri more, but Fati goal scoring ability will always make it easier to appreciate him more. I am not convinced with Trincao yet, I think he is better than what he showed but also I think Barca was too early move for him.

    Sergi Roberto

    I won't blame him that much tbh. I said it on Dembele thread, he dropped back to help but then was watching the game and didn't help. This allowed both Moreno to attack without worrying, because he neither has someone defending him and no one to worry about in counter attack. Roberto found...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    His offense is needed, but his defensive contribution with us is absolute shit. Against Betis he will drop back the pitch but doesn't stick to his man, this allowed their LB to attack more (since Dembele was down and he didn't have to worry about him in counter attack) and S.Roberto found...

    Ronald Koeman

    1-Your link doesn't work 2-The photo posted 2 pages ago by Andresito confirms what I was saying, we were pressing much more than RM and they were still the better team. Teams like Chelsea, Lyon,Milan,Manu among others were better than RM in pressing too and all were inferior teams. Pressing...

    Ronald Koeman

    Barca had more pressing than RM and we still deservingly lost the league to them. The coach and tactics are important, but you need the personal to do it

    Antoine Griezmann

    Arda played 36 games and scored 5 goals with us. Only team he ever scored 17 or more goals is Galatasaray Griezmann also didn't score that amount of goals for us. You guys are falling easily for catalinutzR80 trolling :lol:

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Yes, because the repair surgery is more delicate in its rehab.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    It is the opposite, more severe injuries takes less time to come back in many meniscus injury. Ansu surgery seems to be to "repair" meniscus, this requires more precautions to heal.But long term you get your knee back. More severe would require removal of some cartilage, that is quicker but...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    We helped Messi and Neymar tremendously to avoid injuries, same with many of our stars. people here talk a lot about Bayern fitness and medical cast, but we were ahead of himand prepared more delicate players for prolonged careers. Only those who didn't listen (Dembele & Umtiti) struggled. I...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    ACL are rarely torn alone, it happens but most cases has meniscus injury with it. Depends on injury and treatment. Some injuries are repaired with surgery, so no long term problem as you have your old knee back, but it needs longer time sidelined. Typically 3 month iirc. Others has fragments...

    Joan Laporta

    Yeah, Alemany is a solid CEO, and a guy you want in your team as important piece of the buzzle. Though, we still needs some other guys, competent SD (most likely will be a new face, an ex player) and a good sporting consultant (ex coach like LVG/Rijkaard) This elections is Laporta's to lose...

    Ronald Koeman

    How many coaches had the 5 subs rule?

    Ronald Koeman

    I highly doubt we can ever work with any game play that involves 3 defenders for example, especially with lack of depth in our defense. so 343 and 352 isn't options. 442 won't work without a 9. 4231 is a flexible game plan, it is inferior to 433 for example but flexibility makes it more...

    Ronald Koeman

    Right now he is a mixed bag. One thing he surly likes: PLAYMAKING AND PASSING Past few games (probably since Sevilla games) we aren't Messi dependent anymore on build up, and that is even when we moved Messi to be our AM (his natural position atm). Coutinho, Pedri, Pjanic are all involved in...
