City setup similar to the way bayern setup. Narrow fullback, wide winger.

Not suprised at all with the signing. Guardiola want cb who can really pass and stones is one of them

What happen to Rooney, it looks like he lost it

He better start playing because andy king is no kante

Really surprised Leciester does not sign anybody to replace Kante. They looks kinda weak in midfield

Pirlo was excellent in Conte system even though he was poor defensively.

I don't get what with this complaint against Courtois. He is angry and clearly emotional. Do not compare playing for you country vs you club. I think Messi decided to retire after losing 3/4 th final, the pressure and the disappointment is completely different. and based on what I saw in this forum, most belgium think the same thing that Wilmots need to go.

Haven't watched much RM lately but man, Ronaldo looks really poor. Yes he scored the winning penalty but he was really bad. And this RM team is pretty poor for UCL winner standard. Ancelotti UCL winning team will destroy this team

I will be surprised if they win it next season but it depends on who they sign. Manu will be a great team again with or without mourinho, since they are the richest team in England

I don't really like 2 striker formation unless you want to play like leciester or atletico-madrid. Deep with compact defence and focusing on counter attack

I think he is better of staying at am. We don't really need a striker

I guess you are who you are and he has been a very successful manager.

Jose works best when his team is the underdog because he like to create " us against the world mentality" - We were second tier team in his first stint here - Madrid kept losing against Barcelona - We were a new team. IMO that mentality is good when you are not winning but after a while you get tired of it.

It is absolutely fine to do that when you are not contending for title. Again, back to Epl last 5 winner.(city, Chelsea, leciester, united) I don't think we can say any of them really play a lot of youth

IMHO playing youth player is a conundrum. You want to play more academy player but you want to be title contender. You want to play more youth but you want deep senior squad. Playing youth especially straight from academy imo is a big gamble. Maybe there are only three title winning manager that really play a lot of youth, SAF, Wenger and maybe Van Gaal Everybody said Wenger is a perennial loser but Arsenal always promote their youth player. Iwobi,Coquelin, bellerin, wilshere,etc. They haven't challenged for title for ages but they always promote their youth. The same thing with Van Gaal. He sold di maria,chicarito and van persie. Now Rashford,Lingard, Bruno mensah has more chance to play but they are clearly not a title contender. SAF is the only outlier, but he is like the Godfatther of Manchester United. He can do whatever he want. Howevery, the last time he won EPL, he bought Van Persie. By doing that he sacrificed Welbeck growth. IMO, playing youth is a gamble. You need to hire manager that trust youth but at the same time you have to be ready to be 2nd fiddle team for a while. Then if luck is on your side, they will turn into a world class player and you will dominate for a long time (Barcelona) , if not you will become 2nd fiddle team for a long time (Arsenal)

Good move by ranieri moving okazaki to the winn, much better defensively than mahrez

half way there

Bad goalkeeping by schmiechel

His biggest problem other than that he is a fantastic gk

I said last year I know exactly what willian is going to do when he is on the ball. But this guy is beyond riddiculous when he is on the ball, basically he is useless. He does not offer anything. He cannot deliver final ball, he cannot shoot, he cannot dribble. I have been screaming since 2nd half, please bring somebody in. It does not matter rlc or even pato just bring somebody in. There is no way they can be as bad as this guy on the ball

That is the problem. He has not improved a bit

Beyond bad

TBH I prefer for us to sign a really good CB. We need a partner for Zouma, I don think Cahill is the guy.

Hector Bellerin is fantastic
