serious doubts = they make him captain + go on a media campaign before his return. yeah, all signs point to him being offloaded tomorrow.

Don't have time for the xG shite, that's Birdy's department. Let's just look at the three biggest saves he made in that match. 1. Eric Garcia should score a tap-in there, instead shoots at the middle of goal, in the direction of the GK. Good on Sommer to get back, but that's an easy goal for...

We essentially knocked ourselves out of that tie. With better finishing Sommer can't do shit. Yamal shooting at far post(but not far enough) over and over again made him look better than he is.

Fire should be there since we missed the CL. But as it happened to us this season, things can change quickly in football. Hopefully we finally get it right in the transfer window. Sensible to have him on 2 more years. Barca/Madrid managers don't last long anyway.

Except the egos stuff, their players are not worse than what we have.

GK - Stegen + Tek as backup FB - lots of work since only Kounde is top notch. I'd bring a better LB, but I know everyone hypes that bum Balde CB - we need a world class CB, should sell Araujo and replace Christensen since he is injured most of the time DM/CM - we are stacked on numbers but low...

Madrid's defense isn't even that worse on an individual level, when compared to ours. On paper they have the better squad, but they couldn't click all year.

Some in here have lost touch with reality it seems. Last year Raphinha and Ferran were absolute bums, now they are better than Mbappe and Julian Alvarez. Flick has devised a system that allows for guys like Eric Garcia to score ffs. Put Mbappe in this year's Barca and he would have insane numbers.

This! Comparisons with Isak and Alvarez are idiotic to say the least. We wouldn't have won anything this season if Ferran started all games.

even his highlights don't look that impressive. what's the deal with this guy?

Best player in the world if you put him in a functional team. Even in this terrible Madrid, he did pretty well.

He shoots like that vs Sommer and scores at least two goals. Instead he put it in Sommer's reach and suddenly the Swiss is the second coming of Lev Yashin.

Mate I get your frustration. But it has to be placed elsewhere. Have we won everyone would have hailed Tek as clutch and world class. Reality, from my point of view, is that we shot ourselves in the foot by not taking our chances and playing risky football all year. I've always said that we...

Far from it. I'm all up for us getting the next big wknderkid GK. Just stating the fact that you place too much importance on the GK when actually we lost because we play a kind of football that concedes lots of chances per game.

Elite save? Are you blind? Garcia shot straight at him with his weaker foot. From that position he could have easily placed the ball left or right with his stronger foot.

Based on what? Courtois conceded at near post from that Yamal shot in the Bernabeu. And he could actually see Yamal coming and also distance from goal was bigger.

Bar first leg where maybe he fucked up for one of the corners, Tek or Sommer or Courtois prime wouldn't do jack shit for the rest of the goals we let in vs Inter. Stop overhyping Sommer's performance when he was beaten 4 times in Milan and the other shots that he saved weren't really that great.

Again with this shite about top saves. Those were top saves because our players were predictable with their shooting. Reaction time was great for Sommer, but if Yamal puts the ball a couple of centimeters to his right or start shooting at near post instead of doing the same stuff every time then...

No, we don't with our current finances. We could have won a treble with Pena and a retired Tek, go figure. GK quality won't save you if youare shit. Shipping lots of goals regardless of opposition is not a GK quality thing.

Same keeper who shipped 6 against us? Tek shipped 7 but was free. What's your point here? Yamal places better his shots and Sommer ships 8.
