Absolute nonsense that managers would prioritize height for defensive situations even if it means sacrificing impetus in our attacks! How could Tuchel think that having Alonso and Azpi as our wing backs would be great for our attack? I could understand his way of thinking if Leicester had ginormous players in their team but they haven't... Ndidi being the exception. Edited May 15, 2021 by DDA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N'didi is 1,81. fofana, evans and soyüncu are all around 6'2 but alonso is no good in aerial defence either so why bother DDA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as if Chilwell is weak, a dwarf and terrible at defending set pieces/crosses either! DDA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be focusing on our own game and not paying so much respect to minnows. DDA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No serious mass gain visible, just a favourable lighting angle. It is natural for guys with a high caloric turnover and fast metabolism to lean out a bit in summer. He will look just as scrawny  in his kit next season as he always does. King Kante 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmers have best physiques for me. Pitt in Fight Club also. And it is more difficult to get it, you have to do a lot of cardio and nutrition is most important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most guys with average genetics can’t support any meaningful muscle mass with body fat this low so just look like twigs in real life  and only good on camera . Otter Mode really only looks asthetic on shorter men IMO whilst taller ones can pull off bear mode better. but from my personal experience it is probably healthiest and best for all year round performance to aim for 10-14% body fat and and weight of height in cm -100 give or take 3kgs depending on the size of your frame. also one should not  compare oneself too critically with actors or professional athletes who spent years with personal trainers, chefs and most likely peds  to achieve that look for just a specific timeframe. swimmers also have a wide range. Look at Ben proud, the 50m butteflier. He almost looks like a professional bodybuilder and is on serious gear whilst some swimmers physique like Ian thorpe’s every man can achieve easily. I have been doing fitness for 10 years. The Alonso look is probably what I had in year 2 but I admit he looks better there than i did bc he is a bit shorter than me and just so tan lol. I am white as chalk all year even after Caribbean vacation. 😅🙈  NikkiCFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Inter is so stupid my man. 100m and Alonso rejected. 115m accepted. That first offer is like 140m. DH1988 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His fitness advantage over all the international players really comes in clutch right now. he does not even look like moving in slow motion atm and reached a few balls that i previously would have thought are beyond him. I know he was on good scoring runs before, but these were 2 of the best games I ever saw from him. On this form he surely is worth a lot more than 15m and given how slow Serie A is, he would set it ablaze on current form. Really hope he manages to maintian this run for a long time before he inevitably reverts to his usual self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Still has plenty to offer here as a squad player if I am honest. Showed that yesterday. As mentioned before by many, not amazing but solid enough and pops up with a goal at times - not bad for your back up left back/wing back. Still think hes a much better player than Emerson too.

If you are counting on him for more than that you will remember why he angered the fan base over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
