  1. Haaland is offside (he’s behind Pope). He’s interfering by tussling with Thiaw who would otherwise be trying to block the shot.
  2. Nah it’s not. Haaland is offside and is impacting Thiaw’s ability to play the ball.
  3. Haaland is blocking Thiaw. Haaland is offside. Thiaw can’t play the ball because he’s Haalans is offside. NO. GOAL.
  4. 2 players hate to be goal side. If he’s behind Pope he’s off.
  5. Haaland is impacting Thiaw. It’s taking so long they might just give it.
  6. I hope this contract make Botman step up into a leadership role. This is pure conjecture but he comes across as a quiet and cool character but not a leader. As the old guard move on we need the likes of Botman to step up. Burn is slow himself. But I think he takes responsibility in that position on the weekend where Botman didn’t. Ditto for Pope vs Ramsdale. 2 leaders vs 2 players that aren’t. Pope Trippier Schar Burn Tino **new young GK** Tino Thiaw Botman Hall Botman needs to become a senior man back there.
  7. I strongly believe a lot of our success is due to the fact we have a team of men. And I’m happy for that to continue. As our experience heads leave we do need to get some new experience heads in. Or just leaders in general.
  8. Move on leaders for minimal fees and not sky high wages. Who played and excelled in 90% of our matches last season. While having PSR issues when bringing in much needed replacements. Great idea lads. Keep them coming.
  9. I love Rayan Cherki for example and 20 years ago he would be romanticised. But now because he hasn’t done KDB numbers we don’t rate him there.
  10. Isn’t it just one or two players? And you’re not always going to have ‘best of all time’ active players. Ronaldo aside I don’t think players 97-07 were better than what we have now. But they were a lot more aesthetically pleasing I guess
  11. Owen was obviously a world class player in his pomp. But Mbappe and Vini are both better. A lot better too. I don’t think they can ge in the same side however. And we are yet to see Mbappe work in an elite club side. The footage of him ignoring Alonso is untenable player power.
  12. Yeh playing a back 3 at Real Madrid just isn’t going to work. It has to be out of this world to work. It wasn’t. they were doing 6 hours of video analysis a week. For every opppnent. From next to 0. It’s far too much too soon. And like I said - this is a team that has won multiple league and CL titles.
  13. Yeh they beat Osasuna by simply being motivated and working hard. They don’t need huge tactical analysis. The players do need to respect the coach. People forget it was Mourinho coming in and changing the culture that sparked the golden era even though he didn’t win. The players did eventually get him out (as do most teams btw - this is not specific to Real) but Mourinho installed a discipline and a work rate that lasted a decade and longer. I do thi no Mbappe is one too many big ego and the biggest. Jude and Vini jr. have won it all with Real. Jude is a team player.
  14. Glad the talk can come to an end.
  15. Yeh we need reinforcements. Howe is going to go for all of it. Bruno G better sleep well tonight.
