If they don't buy a LB and a CB they will suffer on that side indeed. But TAA is a step in the right direction. They needed 3 players in that line and one is already addressed. Real is most likely planning on creation from fullbacks, rather than midfield. In a way, TAA is a Kroos replacement...

Is the goal prevented based on xG or "post shot xG" According to football reference (they quote opta) his Post shot xG - goals conceded is 8.3, which is the top in La Liga and 8th in Europe top 5 leagues. When you adjust it to per 90 minutes, to remove data being skewed to those played more...

It seems they are cooking the next Inigo Martinez

His first goal since Palmeiras

Miranda I agree, but Grimaldo & Montoya held their own in Segunda and looked great. Montoya was equally bad with first team while Grimaldo didn't get a chance. Cucu for me was much better player, but this is debatable depending on who you ask. I just don't see it with the kid. His profile...

Mental resilience is different from motivation or "wanting it more" my mate. You are comparing apples and oranges

0-4 win in important game against Lugo. Relegation battle is getting interesting, still a tough hill to climb but not I think it is in our hands.

Leaving this here. :stv172:

That is absolute nonsense, again, easy route here. Maybe because a guy like Dumfries is bigger, stronger and more athletic and the ball was closer to him? You think if it was reversed it won't be the same? That's pure science fiction

Pedri has consistently put his body on the line to a fault. But how many times he is put in the same situation? Pedri went for the ball against a bigger player and Denzel beat him to it. It is a situation he isn't trained for. The same way Raphinha failed to clear the ball, the same reason...

I said it before the game, Flick got the players that B team were willing to spare, rather than best players. I doubt he felt that Dani atm is better than the lijes of Toni & Virgili.

Developing players against men who fight for their living. It is a sort of internship. A taste of real life but under controlled conditions.

This is just admiting you don't see the fine details and chosinf the easy way out of it

Dude, those are athletes who live on being competitive. Our personal experience are irrelevant here. Motivation to be great is more about your off the pitch work, some guys will dedicate their lives to the craft, others don't. Wgen it comes to in games, players 99% guves it all on the grand...

So, did we want it more on the first leg? Did Salah not want it more and it affected them? Why was our best half in the tie in the 2nd leg? Maybe it has something to do with the team being old? Maybe it has something with them deciding to target our weaknesses? By their iwn admission looking...

It is a nonsense still. Energy has nothing to do with well. I could have the well to run a 40+ km marathon and lacks energy to do so. It doesn't change anything about my well. Preparation is a totally different thing from well too. Those are the technical stuff, which us actually the things...

I get it with those two, despite one being mediocre and the other isn't a serious footballer, because he hated the amigos so much and there was a general desperation from Culers to get rid of them. Fernandes played in Busquets position and Emerson in Roberto's. But after amigos have left, it is...

Not at this level unless it is very extreme cases. Like a team who won everyone several times and starting to get complacent. Like seriously, which football player won't be motivated to win CL? Come on now

Mingueza and Cambiaso. Players like Vanderson & Fresneda had some rare appearances on the LB. But I agree, it is more theoretical than real.

"Who wants it more" is one of the most stupid terms in sports. In this level, in CL semifinals, every player will die to win it, those are competitors ffs. People just created that terms as it is easier than talking about fine details that decide such games.
