Yes, I know the barcaforum mantra - we want a GK to bail us out in the CL. Whatever the fuck that means. GK won't save you if you have a shit defence and attack that can't outscore the opponent. Barcaforum likes to wax lyrically about Madrid and Courtois performances in the CL KOs, but they...

One was injured all season? What are we comparing here? He isn't Neuer to command that kind of authority at NT level. He's picked because he's the current best they have who wouldn't be next in line to Neuer?

Based on what exactly? The guy starts for German NT but he can't for a club where he is captain?

I think you're confusing how Pena was ditched in place of Szcesny to what happened with Stegen after he came back. He wasn't starter right away and played only two games in a league that was pretty much over. His salary isn't that big by all accounts. But nobody really knows what it is.

It usually happens in countries that don't have a big pedigree when it comes to being successful in football. He is their best player ever no? Being held on a pedestal all his career deludes him into thinking he is above anything and anyone. It happened in Romania with Hagi and I think it is...

Just like barcaforum regarding Ter Stegen. :mou:

No it's not clear. It's just a different context. Even a guy like Mendes, who btw is an absolute beast, gets a bit overrated because of recency bias and more importantly the state of football these days.

Yeah, a good core. But the rest are nothing special. They shouldn't play this good at times with the players they have.

I dunno man. What talent pool are we talking about? Goalkeeper is nothing special. They are bad at FB. CBs they should be good with Hujsen, Cubarsi and Asencio. Mid Pedri and Rodri, Yamal in attack. The rest are mediocre to say the least.

Good that Spain lost. They were getting too cocky. Wake up call and maybe they fire DLF.

@BBZ8800 cmon man, I want to go to sleep. Post the essay already!

Would Mourinho drop the old guard?

Mendes is different gravy to the bums Yamal faced in CL.

Based on?

Stegen was promised No 1 spot when transfered. Comes in gets injured in preseason and Bravo takes over playing two seasons at starter in LL. In the meantime Enrique was fucking around not being able to promise him anything. Ter Stegen proves in the CL he can be no 1 and thinks he can go to City...

Sell to Saudi. Peaked last season. Get two LWs with the money.

He looks like he could be Guti's son.

Mbappe got them over Argentina. Not the best by numbers but the difference maker.

Nah, get Barcola instead.

In 2016 yes. In 2018 Mbappe got them over the line, he was the difference maker. In 2022 it was Mbappe nearly soloing a WC.
