2-2 Malen, Sabitzer Lewy (I have always called him Lewa which is apparently the feminine version of his name), Raphinha

Left wing with the rest of their attackers :lol:

Surprised the Olympics is so low. Thought it would be top three with the two football events. Could be because it is on for half the time those are. I expect the Copa is so popular because of Messi - can't imagine it beating Olympics and Euros any year he isn't playing in it and winning it. I...

I did mate, altered to 2-1, got an exact, thanks son. Kept Atalanta one tho

I think that is true of a lot of football fans though - we have natural biases in how we like to see the game played and gravitate to those who fulfil those wishes, and rail against those who don't. I have my biases too in terms of players I like. But I acknowledge (mostly) that the players who...

Every player has those clown moments though. Lewa has had them too. I have saw plenty of disasterclass Ronaldo compliations. I think those clown moments were overblown too - missing chances doesn't make someone a clown. I like Benzema more than Lewa because I think his all-round game is...

I agree, but like I said, Neymar and other great talents did do the business to a high degree. So they have both. It isn't a Ben Arfa situation where there's loads of talent but nothing was accomplished. Thiago did well at Bayern too, so again, he didn't fulfil potential but still showed a good...

Also, it works both ways - people slag off Benzema in the past to elevate what Ronaldo was doing and excuse any poor Ronaldo performances. It's called people having a thing for one player over another. Maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle. I feel though that Benzema has been a world-class...

Tbh I don't care what Madrid fans think, don't usually rate their opinions on football, either the online fans or the real life fans. I watched Madrid loads back then and I don't agree, he missed chances yes but he did a lot of great work for years for Real Madrid. Otherwise they'd have got rid...

To be fair to Tempt, there's nothing wrong with being a big fan of a player. I don't wanna gang up on tempt here. It's more a curiosity thing why he is drawn more to Lewa than the rest. I suppose Lewa just plays a way he really loves. Plus he seems a cool and fashionable guy off the park. He...

I didn't say he doesn't belong to that list. I am saying he is in that list and I don't know why you like him more than every one of them. Why him and not one of them? I think it's unfair to say he's definitely better than guys like Neymar or Benzema or Suarez or Salah. I think the reason most...

Thanks, was only gone a week really though, shows how omnipresent I must generally be lol I will post in more moderation soon. Always great to see you

Fair points. Let's hope Barca and Lewa continue to do well, starting with tonight.

With players playing much longer and sports-science improving, cloning seems like the next evolutionary step in football loll.

Aye they are jekyll and hyde at and away from the Westfalenstadion.

Yeah I agree those were both very good performances and me myself am not blaming him. I just think his lack of legs could prove costly when the difficulty ramps up in latter rounds. No elite team should really be starting with a 36 year old striker, let's be honest.

Tempt is a really great guy and I like him a lot. Still, I don't know why he loves Lewa so much. I can't think of any reason why he would love him much more than Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Benzema, Suarez, Salah, Van Dijk, or any other excellent player. Lewa seems a great guy too. But still.

He's doing well to score goals, but you and I both know there's much more to football than stats, as I have said many times and seemingly have to keep repeating myself on. You can definitely argue a younger more dynamic striker would bring more out of the other players. Football isn't just goal...

Yeah probably right. He's like that.

Will United lose in Plzen tomorrow? This game and their last game are away games against two smaller teams, and the type of places that are banana skins for this United side (though they MIGHT be in better form by 30 January). In between they play Rangers at home (who are home themselves to...
