Agreed. I love Greek people!!

Well you really made the squad sound shite. I'm more convinced that I'm overrating it now. :lol: But I guess it's still a top 5 squad itw, innit?

Xavi doesn't seem to have a defined style of play. It's just a combination of great individuals sometimes produces sick Football. Naturally, his style is turgid. A proper coach can produce great patterns of play even with much much lesser players. Like look at Potter at Brighton. Barca...

Laporta's first choice ahead of Xavi was Hansi Flick. He would fit the bill imho.

Meh, what a boring answer! I was expecting something far more hipster and unexpected. Disappointing. I don't think Tuchel/Klopp will fit the "Barca DNA"/philosophy the club demands. Not that Xavi plays anything like typical Barca style mind you, but somehow he has developed a reputation of...

United have been tremendously profitable under the Glazers from a business standpoint. Fantastic Sponsorship deals and revenue influx. Glazers are great at that side of the game. They couldn't care less about trophies though as long as the business is this fruitful. It's a super...

KL, who's your favourite current coach?? If Xavi gets sacked tomorrow and you can handpick a xoach for Barca who'd you wish for ideally??

If he does that he's a legend. But that'll never happen. Top 4 itself will be a sensational achievement.

If he finishes top 4 with Bilbao, he's a World Class coach in my book. Top 10 itw. No debate. Bilbao does look like a perfect fit for EV.

Yeah but now only 3 clubs are an upgrade on us realistically speaking. We're bigger than the rest. And he can't go to Bayern so that leaves only the Spanish giants. Out of which he can only coach any 1..... Very limited options. When he arrived we were total underdogs. Now we're one of the...

No surprises. Yanited are absolutely LOADED. One of the wealthiest clubs around. Any selling club takes the mick outta them. Leicester laughed all the way to the bank getting 80 mil for Maguire. Clubs know that Yanited will happily overpay. "Adult Disneyland" after all!

Hence the Real Madrid links I guess. Because realistically, how many clubs are bigger than Liverpool?? He won't go to Bayern coz of Dortmund links. The 2 Spanish giants are probably the only upgrades in terms of prestige and club size. So options are extremely limited as a step up from us.

With all due respect to ATM, Klopp is way too big for them now. One of the most accomplished managers in the world and I think the biggest clubs in the world would happily take him. Rumours are that Perez is looking to get Klopp post Ancelotti.

Apparently, Klopp wants to take on the Real Madrid job after finishing his Liverpool stint. Can you see Klopp fitting in at Real Madrid??

He looks a bit similar to Bernardo Silva.

I edited and mentioned the old school coaches bit. So that pretty much explains the Vinicius bit. Carlo doesn't micromanage. Neymar is probably the game's last pure entertainer at a high level of club Football. Compare the frequency of that to the era which went by.... How many Jay Jay...

Luck factor can't be dismissed in club Football. Were 2012 Chelsea a better side than 2012 Barca Real Bayern? Fuck No! The best always doesn't win. In 2004, we had Porto winning the CL playing Monaco in the final. Teams of that level simply don't win a CL in today's day and age. Maybe a nice...

Football is way more micro managed these days. There are definite patterns of play which many teams have to abide by. This is why so many of "Maverick talents" are extinct, outdated. The individual entertainment factor from the sport is diminishing. But better tactical units are being put...

The toughest era to win individual accolades is the Messi Ronaldo era. Lewandowski plays as a number 10 half the time for Poland and still excels with no service. It's pretty easy to simply dismiss numbers because Lewandowski absolutely demolishes Eto'o in it. At every level. Eto'o can only...

I don't think he got comfortable. He just didn't have the legs anymore. His stamina looked shot after a few seasons at Barca.
