Also starting to worry Flick has some sort of obsession with Rashford. How long is he gonna tolerate his attitude?

No, Yamal is the only creative player in this line-up. Flick is looking for balance in this low-level Copa game. I don't think Roony can carry the weight of the team currently. He could when more experienced legs are introduced in the second half.

I think Romania has the best package by a mile in terms of internet, television and mobile for high end services for very low price.

I pay 30 EUR for:

TV:
La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Serie A, CL, EL, Conferrence League, and Romanian League, with La Liga, European competitions & Romanian League most important games in 4k.

+ HBO MAX + Sky Showtime + 4K option for channels that broadcast in 4K (mainly Eurosport and DigiSport).

The magic in 4k despite the incredible picture quality on a big OLED is they start coverage of matches 5-10 mins sooner than official transmission on regular channels (you see shots from locker-rooms before games, tunnel conversations between players, refs, and whatnot).

There are no commercials. In the half time, instead of some stupid commercial break, you get all replays of major game actions from every camera angle and snapshots with very interesting match facts.

It's almost as if they just give you a direct connection to most important cameras that broadcast the match. Really feels like you're in the action.

I used to have EPL before also, but EPL got bought by some stupid streaming service for a lot of money, which is the model you see in other countries, one which I hate beyond belief. But after Klopp left, I don't care at all about EPL, so, not a big miss for me. Not paying for that to see some half-assed title fights which happened in each of the last 2-3 years. Looks to be the same this year also, with Arsenal running alone. If something changes, maybe I buy it for last 2 months into the season.

Mobile:
I have 2 phones on it, nothing too fancy, but gets the job done.

Internet:
1Gbps connection, and and latest router models in custody for best connection from multiple rooms.

I kid you not, not sure how long this lasts, but I'm enjoying it.

I had an offer for Netflix + Disney also for the max package, but I cancelled Netflix because the content went to shite, last great shows I watched on Netflix were Mindhunter and Dark. The German series Dark was probably the greatest thing they had on that platform.

But, unfortunately, as the wages are getting higher, the services are getting worse. More and more foreign corporation, many shady and exploitative, are looking to penetrate the Romanian market, and I wouldn't be surprised to see our society become more like the West in terms of prices and quality in the communications area.

Digi Communications are going strong on Spanish market also, I believe it's the fastest growing company of this type there also because they offer a great service for a fair price. And their infrastructure is very advanced.

Now you know the real reason that Tate guy went there.

Exactly. Playing without Frenkie, Pedri and Lamine, our game would look like that of Madrid with probably the same success. We need at least one player able to create chances against low-blocks.

Yamal probably plays because he doesn't like being on the bench. He's our only player who is getting preferential treatment from Flick imo, and it's something we need to be very careful with in the future.

I feel like every player is very applied to Flick's methods, except this one. You may not like it, but he's our own Vinicius type.

This is stupid take based on nothing. Did you see Lamine protesting or looking unhappy when he had to sit 60-70 minutes two games ago? Didn't he also praise Roony in social media after his succesful game?

Yeah sure Lamine doesn't want to be on bench because no player wants to be on bench. But 60yo easily angered german dude won't budge if someone twice as young as his own children has a problem with his decisions.

In 99,9% situtations Flick knows the best than us here. We are already rotating many players. Gotta leave some of the stars out there and not expect Rashford or Roony suddenly starting to decide games for us.

Don't wanna hear injury excuses tbh when the guy plays Copa del Rey lower stages. He must be so fresh and fit if he can play vs Santander 4 days after playing an El Clasico.

Guy has to sit on the bench in these games. You'll never have a good RW back-up if that guy can't even get minutes in Copa del Rey vs Santander, and only plays when Yamal is not fully fit.

Disagree. Roony is also easier to sub at HT if he's not doing well. If Yamal has a half-assed game, he isn't get subbed at HT regardless. Rooney should have started here. Olmo is plenty creative.

But it's done. Yamal needs to go into the game fully focused because a loss here ruins every momentum for us. The problem for us, is that if Roony plays well and doesn't get minutes regardless, he will want to leave. You have to give him more to keep him. He is underused for me considering how he played vs Bilbao and Betis.
