if Bayern stumble, I have them as favourites, and still would not rule them out

Weird decision by Cavani and Meunier to not play CL for them. Great chance to become European champion. Especially Cavani, he is still free agent.

even stranger is why Ligue 1 never finished their season

all the other big 5 did

or at least (as PSG is reduced to playing friendly games now) why not play the last game left to put all teams on 28

(PSG and Strasbourg) they are the only 2 on 27 games, all the rst are on 28

it wouldn't be hard at all to play that one game

also, not finishing the season fucks up Mbappe, Neymar, Icardi, Sarabi Cavani, and Ángel Di María's goals assists stats, both for the season and their careers

that 11 games knocked off

they all would have scored and assisted on a shedload of goals

I would be raging, especially if it cost me bonuses

Neymar only played half (or less) a seasons minutes and missed out on 20 goals both in the league and all comps, he probably would have hit 30 in both if those 11 games were played and ended up with well into double digit assists (20 would be a huge reach, as he missed too many other games with injuries)

Di Maria missed out on a great shot to have 20 assists and an outside (remote) shot at 20 goals as well

Icardi scored 20 goals in only 1900 minutes, so his totals would have went way up too

Sarabia missed out on a good shot at 20 goals and 10 or more assists

Cavani would have hit double figures in goals (he only played around 1000 minutes and had 7)

and Mbappe (who is going for Balon d'Or) was REALLY fucked, as he had a GREAT chance at being the first big league player ever to score 40 goals and have 20 assists (and this PSG would have been the first team in history with two players over 20 assists)

plus they would have had 4 players with 20 goals (and possibly 6 if Cavani had not been injured so much (but that has nothing to do with the missed 11 games, as i so doubt he would have hit 20 just through them), and Di Maria had just scored a few more (and then he too would have joined Thierry Henry, Messi, and Mbappe as the only players in history with 20 goals and 20 assist sin the same season in big euro leagues)

smdh

sucks to not see that all be given a fair shot

Sarri & Juventus can continue to slip up as no one else is going to take advantage. Can only imagine what things might have been like without the sudden break.

Lazio really fucked up. 1 point in 15 before the win last night. If only.

Sarriball. 

Yeah hasnt been great. I think from the off Sarri was in a difficult job because the age of that Juventus squad is very high and he is very intense about playing one way which demands a lot of pressing and emphasis on only playing the one style. 

Think any manager trying to radically overhaul a playing style like that with say 3/4s of their best footballers 30 and over was always going to be a difficult task. Sarri is more of a 433 manager and you can see he has tinkered with resorting to a 4312 to accommodate Dybala as well, despite only really using it earlier in his career at Empoli, he has always been more preferable of 433.

Plus on recruitment: Aaron Ramsey was a really odd addition, dont get me wrong good player, can get goals but don’t see what he would of brought to Allegri’s Juventus side when they announced it in January never mind Sarri’s. I dont think he is at that level or even if he was, he needs to be built around more and afforded a bit of freedom to thrive, he is never going to get that at Juve with CR7 and to a lesser extent Dybala. I can understand the signings of Rabiot and de Ligt, Rabiot is a good player, left footed, play on the left side in that 3, was very consistent for PSG over the years, capable of keeping the ball, winning the ball and breaking the lines and then hes in his peak years where as Matiudi, Khedira, Pjanic are all 30 or over. But even now hes being mentioned as a potential sale. De Ligt was a great addition for an aging backline obviously and Demiral is another promising player who can grow into a really good CB. The sale of Cancelo and signing of Danilo as well, odd. I dont think they’ve helped themselves in the transfers either as they are normally very shrewd. Arthur is a clever signing, proper talented player and will be a huge asset for them. 

Personally think Allegri did similar to what Zizou did at Real, just let the players have a bit more free reign and play a bit more freely as they pleased as opposed to following a hugely stricter approach with huge emphasis on playing the ball out every time, pressing without it, to that way which managers like Sarri, Pep, Bielsa etc like to use.

Honestly with the recent links, I do think Pochettino would be the man best suited for rebuilding Juventus’ squad. He did a very good job at Spurs in that regard IMO as well as giving them a clear identity despite a lack of trophies. Juventus is all about winning though but they took Sarri who isnt a huge winner in regards to trophy’s, just the one here, so I think Poch would be their first choice if they do get rid of him. Weird sacking a manager after winning a league and buying him a 70m player to be the figurehead of a vital part of his team though. Do think he will maybe have the luxury of another season though I dont think it would look good on Juve if they did sack him after winning a league despite some ups and downs but they might not be able to wait to sign Poch.
