    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Defence is poor imo. You're right, none of the CBs or full-backs are anywhere near good enough for one of the CL big players. Maybe Cubarsi will be as he matures. Though part of it is how he sets up. He could get them tighter defensively, but it would also come at the cost of far fewer goals...

    Yeah he's best in the central areas high up the pitch, trying to turn and play in pockets. and play one twos or dribble, making little opening. he's not a deep controller nor is he generally any good when he drifts too far wide, in my opinion.

    Fair enough, thanks. Like I say I wasn't really referring to Garcia. Just Porque was referencing a certain style of goalkeeping and saw my chance to say I don't like one trick pony shot stopper GKs (not saying Garcia is that, he's not apparently).

    Hahaha ferran torres brother. it's a hard life for a goalkeeper. You have to judge the individual situation - do you rush out and try to close the angle, knowing if you let the forward in he has a better chance of scoring close to goal? Alternatively, that player might round you as you said...

    De Gea is like that too. I don't like those type of goalkeepers, though. I prefer all-rounders who are good on crosses, command their box, good with their feet. Casillas and more so De Gea were one trick ponies, and once their reflexes declines they were finished. This has nothing to do with...

    Yeah he seems more a silky playmaking genius to me who offers a lot throughout a game without necessarily scoring or assisting loads. Rather than a stats monster. Of course Messi is both, but Messi is a one-off. Of course, he is still a teenager, and he may become that combination of player in...

    To be fair he can barely speak his native language so no surprise to hear he's struggling with Spanish big style.

    La Liga Round 3: Rayo - Barca 1-1

    Sadly I agree. Think this season will be a big wake up call for Barca. I have thought so since the summer, but as a non Barca fan it doesn't seem right to criticise in front of a forum of Barca fans. Pedri, Yamal and maybe de Jong are the top class players. The new keeper looks promising...

    Need to get into form before Newcastle and PSG come knocking.

    How was he when he came on? He didn't get much time to play.

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    I am half-joking, I know it is far too early and I didn't even watch the game. But so far from what guys on here say, it seems consistent with his career at United with having one good game and 10 bad ones. He needs a chance. But I fear the worst. BUT he could prove me wrong.

    An 18 year old kid shouldn't be the club's only hope to create something in the final third.

    Too early to say I told you so? Probably. But I don't expect much to change.

    I can't be bothered arguing with you mate. Let's wait and see.

    Pep Guardiola

    I agree those first players are poor, but Not a chance in my opinion. We will see. Heard all this before from other posters on other forums with their past teams. The penny still hasn't dropped for guys like you that they're finito. None of those four players you mention are anything special...

    Pep Guardiola

    It's partly the system and partly the players. You think loads of players are good who aren't and lazily just blame 'the system' and alleviate them of all responsibility. It's a mix of both. Do you reckon those players are as good as the players they had previously? Which of this list gets into...

    Most PL games descend into hoofball very very quickly.

    Manchester City

    They've spent 300 million on this lot. Waste of money most of them will prove to be I expect. Marmoush, Reis, Khusanov, Gonzalez, Reijnders, Ait Nouri, Cherki, Trafford
