Nope we are seeing progress which is what matters the most. You still have the standard of Roman and that is wrong. We are building something that can be sustainable to compete for many years, but it's not this season. So lower your expectations. I think next season is when we should start to be more of title contenders and be more consistent. This season I still expect us to be like this, which is something I mentioned after the Barcelona game when everyone was calling us a title contender. And even Maresca knew it not to get carried away. We are going in the right direction but not yet. I do hope the board sees that as well and continue with what we got and build the squad in the areas we need improvement.

@Vesper good article, but is a ball playing defender? He might come cheap but I'm not sure if he is what we need for Maresca style of play. I would have prefer Hincapie which we did not went when he was available.... Unless I see Murillo or Bastoni I don't think no CB will take us to the next step up we need. And thus we will continue being soft in defense for a while.

I agree, I like Delap and to me at this moment in time I prefer over Pedro. Pedro and Delap together is just not working at this time, so sorry Pedro but with Cole back he will take your place. Until Pedro can improve and see what he brings to the table the two type striker is not for me. And last no point in repeating the same stuff I always mentioned as our undoing. This is why for me Maresca has done amazing, that he can bring us this far with that defense is amazing to me.

Nah if we got a good defense we would be 0 to 0 into second half which is what is more important.

Told you from the get go. That defense was weird lol

The defense that we got is not good as well for this type of style. This is for me I'm more surprised that we have achieved so much with this defense, and that speaks volume of the manager. Get this guy the ball playing defender and we should be killing it.

We got no defense. Until then we will continue to have ups and down. So we are better for CL this season and PL not ready.

How you thinking Estevao starting? As I been saying he is too young and the PL is different then CL. He needs to continue to come as sub not starting.

I would take out Pedro and bring in Cole. It's just not working the Pedro and Delap partnership at the moment.

By the way hato has not played much. As I been saying as well the board are not good for defense, they need to higher one director for this.

But we can still change. I'm not sure if Delap and Pedro right now is good. We need more control of the mid. This is where Cole can help.

Yes not surprised. This is why I have said many times we are not title contenders and we need to spend good on defense.

Oh interesting. But even then over gusto? I'm not sure still

Not a big fan of badi at rb. This is not looking good for me.

I want to add one thing about this, I totally agree with you on this. But you know why it's missing? First the atheist, they don't believe in God so morality comes from a moral giver. That doesn't compete with them Second evolution, morality holds no reality here, because morality is information, and nothing can come from evolution less am intelligent being inbeds morality as a programmer does to it's systems. And third Christianity as a fad then something real in one life. Example my mom was a Christian therefore I'm a Christian, it's my family religion. Wrong, that is tradition for this person but holds little value or practice what it means to be Christian. That is some of the view of why morals it's missing. Which I agree with you.

Again your bringing your point of view. Which I agree. But the powers up want the oil ir seems like and a lot of Venezuela people I talked prefer that.

Well what you got to support your view? Where's your Venezuelan representative? As well NPR states something similar Yet most Venezuelans despise Maduro and voted against him in last year's presidential election that was considered by many — including the U.S. government — to have been stolen by his regime. One Venezuelan analyst, who asked to remain anonymous for his safety, said that most Venezuelans would support U.S. military action to remove Maduro. https://www.npr.org/2025/11/27/nx-s1-5620605/trump-venezuela-maduro

Who said that? I have not read that? Maga? Yes they are crazy I don't argue that.

Nope. Don't want another war. But hey the higher ups want the oil. And a lot of Venezuela people that are in the USA are in favor of this, well the one I talked too. So to each its own.

https://newlinesmag.com/spotlight/what-venezuelans-are-thinking-amid-us-saber-rattling/#:~:text=The U.S. military escalation stirs,should intervene militarily inside Venezuela The U.S. military escalation stirs both hope and fear among Venezuelans. Debates about the use of foreign military force to topple Maduro divide Venezuelans at home and across the diaspora of nearly 8 million who have fled the country. Some Venezuelans, exhausted after years of failed attempts to remove Maduro through elections, protests and international sanctions, now see military action as the only option left. Others are more skeptical, fearing that those who remain inside the country will bear the cost of military attacks that unleash violence and chaos, without any guarantee that democracy will follow. Still, many Venezuelans now openly support a U.S. military invasion, even if they remain wary of U.S. involvement in the region. There’s widespread unease that military force is not the ideal path to a change of government, but it may be the only one left. An October poll by the DC Consultores polling firm surveyed 1,103 Venezuelans across Venezuela, of whom 86% supported Trump’s current actions in Venezuela, 49% thought Trump should capture key regime officials from Maduro’s government and 17% thought Trump should intervene militarily inside Venezuela.

And from what i heard and read they prefer that.

Yes the Venezuela people should speak about that. You should ask.

Like I said that depends on the people Not everyone thinks like you.

If the people of Venezuela want that then it is what it is.
