    Cole Palmer

    Yes, as you all say, he is doing really well. He seems professional too. I just hope he can keep it up - I think he will. He's 22 and clearly wants to have a top career. As I said before though, my main reservation is Chelsea not giving him the platform or assistance to make the most of his...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    He's like Ronaldo himself - more famous and 'popular' than better people in his area or field. I bet there's much more intelligent amateur football talkers on youtube, and more charismatic too, but unfortunately screaming like an idiot and behaving like a moron (as this kid does) seems to be in...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    That guy - IShowSpeed - is an utter cretin who doesn't even like or know football, just uses the sport for internet clout lol.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Yeah Temp was a strange fellow. He clearly hated Messi, Barca etc. He had that attitude of loving the (fake) alphas of football, posted threads about Andrew Tate, talked about players' looks. He was clearly into the red pill/black pill/manosphere movement hard. He's just that type of guy. I made...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Fati is a good and kind lad. I feel he just trolls and doesn't believe any of it. He likes Ronaldo as a player which is fair enough, he was a great player. But he just can't accept that Messi is far better. Deep down he knows though. Rassvet doesn't believe anything he writes, and Temp seemed...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Yes, with their firepower they will always have a chance to win, assuming they can stay in a game (even if they get dominated territorially). Sadly it is what it is and Ancelotti knows playing average football but being strong in both boxes can be successful when you have firepower. He's not a...

    Transfers and Rumors

    Amazing that Ribery, Neymar, Robben and R9 had such injury-hit careers yet still produced such entertainment and beautiful football (though with Robben it was more before the Bayern doctors got him on the right path). Reus to to a lesser extent. Imagine how much better these guys would be...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    But he was mediocre at Euro 2016. He had like two good games of 6 and a bit and they won the final without him. His team-mates helped a lot, even if they weren't the best on paper, they still played above themselves on the pitch. It's actually a travesty he gets a lot of credit for that...

    Luis Diaz

    He's doing well and I do rate him to a point, but I feel he always has some anonymous games in him. Not sure he can maintain good form over a long period, but not many can. I think Liverpool really need better than the likes of he, Gakpo and Nunez even if they are okay/quite good players...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    That's how I feel about him. Ok, serviceable, not horrendously bad, but will have poor games and good games and flatter to deceive. He's not as bad as Maguire or Lindelof but he's very meh.

    Manchester United

    I couldn't really understand why they were rating the transfer window 8s and 9s with the five players they bought (on their forum). They always seem to think they've won the transfer window, how many summers do we hear this from them? Other than Yoro I expect all four of the others to be...

    Bernardo Silva

    Seems a slow start to the season for the lad. He has loads of talent and is very fit, but he is 30 now and has a lot of miles on the clock given his diligent, buzzy, hard running style of play. I wonder if perhaps he will start to decline soon. Far too early and small a sample size to say but...

    Jadon Sancho

    He's definitely better than he showed at United, or ever will show at United. He has a fair amount of talent and a better attacking team like Chelsea with superior forward patterns suits him more. Let's see if he can maintain his good start to the season. Seems a little more professional at the...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    Poor against Tottenham. I don't rate him but if he makes a go at it there fair enough. I think the maximum they can expect from him though is 'decent' or 'serviceable' rather than 'excellent' or 'transformative'. I'd be amazed if he (or any of their other signings, Yoro aside) is good enough to...

    Bruno Fernandes

    Probably is, literally. He's from Portugal and will have grown up watching Ronaldo.

    İlkay Gündoğan

    Bit of a strawman argument - I don't see anyone claiming Olmo 'guarantees beating big teams' - I don't say Masetro using that word 'guarantee' at all - correct me if wrong and he did say that. Nobody can guarantee beating anyone in football. He maybe thinks Olmo at this point in his career...

    Timo Werner

    Not bad outside the box but cannot seem to finish chances. It's a shame as he's a respectable dribbler and has decent work-rate. I could tell he was gonna miss them two chances - even his body shape in setting himself didn't look right.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Not having a go, but I really don't get how you say this yet defend Ten Hag, who (as one example) plays Rashford most games despite Rashford being unprofessional as fuck on and off the pitch i.e. his disciplinary issues off the pitch with going out before games, and refusing to put in any effort...

    Kylian Muppet

    It was just a gentle, playful joke. I am not meaning anything bad by it. My point was you didn't need to write Mbappe again as obviously Mbappe will be his surname. Unless it's one of those families where siblings have a different surname for whatever reason. Just in a sarcastic mood and...
