  1. You really think Maatsen has what it takes? i dont really see it yet even though he still is super young so might have huge upside still. i think if we want to win something this season or even make top 4 we need to be safe and at least get a backup goalie unless Cech really still got it. But for next season where there is an AFCON and we need to win stuff, we 100% need a PL-class backup goalie and LB.
  2. Not here to goad but I guess i was right. Lampard defensive coaching was never the problem. Kepa/Alonso were. Have been saying this all year. Even back had Derby he had terrible goalies. In fact we have conceded just in one game since end of september, which was the only game where Kepa was playing. Chilwell+Mendy+(Silva) still without a goal conceded. Would really interested to know how you guys who took the opposite stand now see this. Just a purple patch or has the system improved?
  3. Praise the Lord if that is the case. I also read clubs are free to deny their players to join up with the nts anyway. we should definitely make use of this
  4. Acm and shitty are really lucky to have them. Uncapped wc players are a rare treasure. likely to have a better career and stay injury free longer. I wish more of our players would reject call ups. It sounds harsh asking them to retire from representing their country but in fact you are just helping the corrupted fifa so there is no fair representation anyway.
  5. Whilst I think it was clearly a penalty even though it goes from foot to hand it should be punished. What is the hand doing up there anyway. If this goes unpunished defenders could e.g. just flail their arms onto any kind of botched clearances or blocks. I do not really think it was a 2nd yellow tho. Clearly unintentionl should be a card.
  6. Smart move. Better change penalty taker early and not wait for Jorginho to start missing more like manure did. with Pogba who missed like 4 in 5 before they changed back to Rashford and then penandes
  7. Another convincing win another clean sheet. We are getting in our stride. Shame the int break will destroy everything again.
  8. Werner is the kind of player who likes to play every minute of every match. Doesn’t mean we should let him tho. He looked gassed already in the last one
  9. We are not over exerting ourselves here but it surely won’t hurt getting Cho in for Werner. Heck I would even sub off Chilwell and Silva
  10. This is ridiculous. If this really happens I am quitting int football for good
  11. at the same time blatant WWE excurses like frankenstein's on Azpi go unpunished. English football and football in general is sadly going down the drain. european super league will be the final nail in the coffin.
  12. it is a long season ahead. in the end we will get top four and the fa will heave the dippers to the championship again.
  13. But Zouma looks an inch or two taller than Rüdiger, who i have personally met and i think is the full 1,90m he is listed, on this pic too. So maybe, Zouma himself is taller than 1,90 and Mendy is about accurate? Player heights are often off but i have seldom seen one listed too low, albeit there are a few cases in the squad that are definitely wrong.
  14. EPL refs are corrupted Pope still catholic
  15. Read an interview from schurrle and he said that Eden would be the worst player in training but the best on the pitch every game. Confirms what we all knew that he simply never had the edge to get the absolute best out of himself
  16. 5 in 8 now i think. Real robust striker, good pace, decent technique. i can see him becoming our third/second striker after giroud leaves if he is content with that role.
  17. gonna make a bold prediction. If Silva, Mendy, Chilwell play more than more than 90% (so at least 28) of the remaining league games together, we are gonna have the best defence in the league this season.
  18. game vs Rennes should be very different from the one today. They are a good side, very athletic, a couple of dangerous players and they will tryto get on the ball and take the ball to us. ----------------Mendy----------- James---Silva---Zouma---Chilwell -----------------Kante------------------ ------Kovacic-------Mount----------- Ziyech--------Tammy--------CHO Kovacic i think can be important in this one, will be important to have a 1 on 1 player who can stay on the ball for longer, CHO in for Pulisic and Tammy deserves another start, Werner looked gassed.
  19. Good perofrmance from ginter today vs leipzig. Ialwys find it amazing how gladbach have no-name non-international german and austrian players like hoffmann or wolf to play at such a levle they can compete with superexpensive squads. i guess we just have alot of talent in the ocuntry
  20. How can you injure yourself without any contact or pressure on a plain field of grass? there does not even seem to be a ball in the vicinity. The boy really is a glass cannon needs to be managed super carefully. maybe sit him out the next two games so he cant feature in the intl break at least
  21. Is it just me or did he actually look better as a no. 8 than as a no.10 so far. When he dropsback and controls the tempo of the play he is just as comfortable on the ball as jorginho. I would still like him to shoot more often and go into the dribbling but i guess it will come.quiet but decent game from him
  22. that one got me the scariest moment of all halloween
  23. always knew he would come off as the best ouf our recent academy graduates. complete fullback.
  24. He was gassed so a lot of his dribblings and passes did not came off but still played a decent enough match. Well taken goal. I think next season he has a shot at topscorer if he stays healthy.
  25. shit that looksl ike a legit goal. bad defending
