That stadium does no favours to the country image of Belarus. Dark, gloomy, cold and poorly lit – proper Soviet style

Alexander Lukashenko is the last of the old skool Warsaw Pact style dictators, even though he dates from 1994. He, conversely, also has not so much love for Putin lately, he is a strange cat.

Well I happen to know that some people in continental Europe and Scandinavia would have no problems calling UK the Russia of Western Europe

Luiz and Rudiger actually make a huge difference in our attacking play. We are so mechanical without them at the back 

[Johnnyeye 7,414]

so far its looks more like a training drill than anything else, pass, pass, pass, pass...

Now we can all see the importance of Kante. No balance in the team at all, the defence is naked.

Exactly. And some would consider selling him because he doesnt have end product 

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

Way too slow.  No one making runs.  No 1-2s, no one making the 3rd man runs.  Too horizontal, needs to be more vertical.

People criticize Kante but he actually makes a lot of vertical 1-2 passes that help move the ball quicker. Barkley is holding onto the ball for far too long.
