If he start odoi over Lingard, Radford, sterling and Ali in important game then I believe him.

Nah the moment he talked about moving kante, then I stop listening to him. Kante won player of the year and wc playing in super defensive team. Leicester very defensive, Chelsea under Conte very defensive and France team was very defensive. It is that simple

Interesting ucl draw, not perfect but not bad Spurs vs city, I don't like team from the same country to face each others but with 4/8 it is quite difficult. Should be fun. But city is arguably the best team in Europe. I don't see spurs going through at all. Barca vs united. Two teams with porous defense. With Ole luck anything can happen. Ajax vs juve. This is going to be a big test for this young Ajax squad. Juventus is always difficult. Pool vs porto. It is very difficult for any team to play against this pool side. You press them, their front 3 is a nightmare to play in transition. You camp in your box. Their two fb are really good providing width.

Wrong post

Because it is harder.

Sarri is not a fraud. But scoring wise it is still the same problem. We struggle to score against physical team with compact defense. It is the same problem. We have 0 clue on how to break down teams that park the bus against us. We cannot do pool way with two marauding fb. Trent and Robertson are absolutely fanstastic. Robertson engine is fantastic and Trent crossing is just brilliant. City spread team wide and use their two am in half space. But they have silvas and kdb.

Juventus? They should have beaten real last year and they almost beat bayern a while ago while losing their first leg. This juventus team is really2 good. Allegri problem is sometimes he tend to be super conservative which weird looking at his squad.

I hope for tasty quarter final. Ajax vs porto Spurs vs juve Barca vs pool City vs united

Liverpool key is more than just pace it is their front 3. That what make them really2 special. It is difficult to assemble that kind of front 3. They are excellent as individual but they combine even better.

No fb can handle cr7 in the air

One of my favorite stat in football this days is expected goals. It give you a very good sense of who is creating more and better chances. It is not perfect but it is pretty good. The interesting part is Solkjaer united expected goals/point is actually pretty poor, and it enrage most of united fans. There is even a post by ESPN writer that said SAF won the league in his last season by far surpassing their expected goal is a prove that expected goals is a fraud. I actually think it is the other way around. For anyone who watched united that year know, that united can play crap the whole game and RVP can bail them out. Having WC striker that is in form can solve tons of problem. It is the same early in Moyes tenure,i watched the same thing but of course it can't continue.

It is a very smart move by him. If you watched rm last season, they were awful. They need to get younger. Zidane did what Ance did for us. Get the best of wc players in their last leg.

Zidane back to Madrid is such a a weird appointment. I think it is a move to please rm fans more than anything.

Kante is maybe very good at winning the ball but he is very small. Physical duel is not his strength. I much rather spend the money on fb/CB. But we need one more if we don't sign kova permanently

He can dribble and you can see his quality but his passing is really2 meaningless. I said that one pass to Hazard clearly sum up everything. Instead of trying to shoot and if the defender commit, pass to Hazard he pass to Hazard straight away. It was over hit but it was the wrong play.

If we want to develop our youth we need to give Ruben a chance. I think Ruben has good potential for this team, with kante and jorginho we lack height and physicality. I thought Ruben provided that today.

I don't understand Kovacic at all. How a player with such excellent technical quality can play football so safe. His passing are meaningless and he does not dribble enough. Being on the bench for so long for Madrid has ruined him.

Get healthy and LCM is his position to lose.

United is imo the most dangerous team at the moment. It is not that they are playing well or like most United fans believe they are playing the United/Fergie way. They simply cannot do wrong at this moment. They can concede 5 good chances and created almost nothing and won that game. It is almost impossible playing aginst this kind of team.

He has looked lethargic since his first day. But he was playing against 3 cb. They way Sarri football is setup, he is playing almost as lone wolf in the box.

Other than that stupid counter that we concede we didn't give wolves sniff of goal. Defensively I have no problem. We are playing with David Luiz as our cb after all. There is no way we can be absolute rock defensively. Offensively, this has been a theme for us especially against team who defend deep. In the 1st half. It was absolutely atrocious. Pass left no space. Pass right no space back to the left still no space. No clue. That was the story in the 1st half. Emerson and Azpi did not contribute much offensively. And we definitely should not sign kova to permanent deal.

2nd half he did nothing. But that is not the problem. Higuain is least of my concern. The fact that we created zero opening let alone chances especially in the 1st half was concerning.

Really? Higuain looked slow which has been pointed out by Sarri but he did absolutely fine. He doesn't look close to Morata. He hold the ball well and tried to connect with his teammate. Our midfield and our fb is more of the problem.

Lol I rarely agree with you but today Kovacic was the problem. I have no clue what he is doing. Pedro was fine. His off the ball movement is arguably the best in our team plus defensively he is pretty solid. I thought CHO did fine, a couple times he showed his inexperience but he did fine. He need to stay wide and let Azpi come inside so that he can have more space to play one on one. With Ruben on far post, it is going to be a good tandem

People keep saying CHO, CHO. Nah, CHO came on and did well but he made a couple bad mistake that led to counter.
