    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Unfortunately this happens to literally every player in a top club at some point in their career, when you play bad, trolls come out of the woodwork and write nonsense and threats, there is nothing to do but block or filter them.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Araujo seems so emotional, as well, after Gundogan mentioned that his red card was stupid he threw a tantrum. He is a guy who cannot keep a cool head. If you fuck up just focus on the next game. It seems like anything that can go wrong does go wrong with Araujo, he is so tense.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Haaland would not? Yamal and co would love a player like Haaland. He is constantly constantly getting in behind and can ping balls to him non stop, where at least, if he can't score, he is able to hold the ball up for his teammates. Haaland would score 40+ goals in a season here.

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    I think the reason Frenkie has few goals and assists is he doesn't always play with one touch, he dribbles and carries the ball a lot, and he's good at that, but closer to the area in general to score you need to play with one or two touches. Sometimes he can lack directness or aggression, he...

    CL game 5: Chelsea - Barca 3-0

    Who's fault is that though? Dembele showed significant improvement under Xavi and was finally starting to find his feet, ironically this is the point we sold him. We did all the work in bringing him back, Xavi was getting the best out of him, and then we decided to sell for pennies. I agree...

    Joan Laporta

    This season's market is not really in question because at this time we had almost no space anyway. The markets to evaluate are the lever markets where we had spending money and over those couple years we also issue some hefty contracts and renewals. Some decisions like the contracts gave to...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    To add to that as mentioned we are using a very large amount of budget space on him so its not like he is a cheap stop gap signing. For the money spent on him we absolutely could have gone for a younger forward, the like of Osimhen etc. But we gave him an absurd contract considering his age...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    I agree that he is very good when he receives service but still we could benefit from a striker who has a little more in his all round game. Sometimes in these kind of games you need a striker you can kick it long to and they can recover the ball, shield it or win a foul or something, when you...

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Who will pay for him at this point? We won't receive any good offers from clubs he would agree to go to, unless he is fine with going to the Gulf or something. There was a point where he was demanded in the market but that has long passed, we have trusted him long enough that we have displayed...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Throwing Dembele out was a huge mistake and there are those of us who said it whilst it was happening. Absolutely criminal we let a world class winger go so cheaply knowing we do not have the money to replace him with a similar player.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Whilst what JamDav wrote is true, Lewa is very limited in his all round game at this point, he is also very very good at what he does specifically, so if we can get the ball to him near the area he will contribute. It could be useful having some forward or AM alongside him who is good at...

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    I still remember how this guy Araujo couldn't man mark 37 year old Acerbi and cost us the game against Inter. Just wow, with defenders like that, who needs opposing attackers? Agree with what you said. Its not like there are many clear options out there anyway that are waiting to take the job...

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Sacking him will not change anything. Whilst it is 100% true his idealism is causing us to struggle sometimes I don't think finding a new manager will raise our level by much. The fact is, at least last season, his tactics got the most out of a squad which is limited in some ways, and we are...

    CL game 5: Chelsea - Barca 3-0

    Tbh in the modern day market huge transfer fees are more and more common, eventually 100m will be what 50m was 5 years ago. You see it regularly now, Liverpool signing Isak for 120m GBP, Wirtz for 110m etc. The market has grossly inflated and now you have to pay that money if you want the most...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    There is no team that spends that much money but that it will work out for them eventually. People were deluded thinking these teams like Chelsea won't eventually come good after spending over a billion pounds on players. Those teams have the budget to plug and play new signing after new...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    His off the ball work is just weak. I said this before but he is brilliant on the ball, the question is, what happens in games that are harder to get into, where there is less space, where ball to feet might not be possible? He needs to learn to threaten more with his movement, to make runs in...

    5 - Pau Cubarsí

    To be honest we are playing a system that demands a vastly higher level from our defenders than what they have. It is not really his fault. He is a kid and he's hardly physically developed yet let alone ready to play in the most demanding high line in the world. I think he would look better in...

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    There was a period we could have sold Araujo for 60m+, during his renewal Bayern wanted him, and after Xavi's conservative style football painted him in a good light he was talked about as a top defender. I think now we will struggle to find any team he would want to go to who will make a...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    This is correct. Receiving the ball centrally is far, far harder than receiving it on the wing. If you are in the centre you have to receive the ball with your back turned to the goal meaning you don't see the position of the defenders behind you, and unless you check your shoulder quickly you...

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    He just gets targeted in the buildup every time vs top teams. If I recall the red card against PSG was also from a missed pass of his and then he had to commit a foul in order to stop the counter. In that game they intentionally left him on the ball. Teams know they can leave him on the ball...
