  1. Doesn’t look like a pen to me.
  2. You can't tell me that 08-12 Spain team weren't snide cunts when they had to be. Sergio Busquets being the prime example.
  3. Luis Aragones - Thierry Henry. I rest my case.
  4. Not a fan of miss comps tbh.

    Probably takes corners/free kicks. @foxghost that true?
  6. tbh I haven’t seen anyone in the last three years stand out for Chelsea aside from Kante, Reece James, and maybe Mount(the former two with poor fitness issues). Pre Boaly, it seemed like they had a patched together squad who got results through dogged team performances. Pulisic’s first season was good. He looked dangerous. I remember in the 2020 FA Cup Final Chelsea turning into a completely different team the moment he got injured as if they had all their hopes pinned on him.
  7. Pulisic is quality. There’s no denying that. His numbers at Chelsea are respectable and he looks incredible anytime he puts on that America kit. He just needs to work on his fitness. When he does play, he’s a livewire.
  8. Specifically remember people on here singling out McKennie as a quality player. Now he’s shit after a bad spell at a lets face it, Championship team. You really can’t trust Italian team’s motives for offloading their players. All their teams are broke so they’ll sell high and buy low like Tonali from Brecia. The constant trades between Inter and AC over the years. The big teams get the players in young, loan or sell them lower down the table and then buy them back for tuppence once they have a breakthrough season. Been doing it for years.
  9. Aye, him, Adams and Pulisic were all over England in the World Cup and were the better team on the night.
  10. Where’s this coming from? McKennie is a pretty good player. Was good at Juve. Leeds as a whole were shit last season. Hard to judge him on that. Always stands out for USA.
  11. don’t want him not even as backup. We’ve got a good thing going here. Could see it going like Lichensteiner when he went to Arsenal.

    Hope I didn't read this one here... Name the English player who has started in a Champions League Final but was never capped by the England Senior national team.
  14. He is. I don't watch Seria A so I want to see the best of the best in the Premier League.
  15. He’s bound to make a few blunders.
  16. I really want to see Man U get Onana. Just watched a compilation of him and he looks absolutely mental. There were clips of him bypassing his center backs and essentially playing as a defensive midfielder. Effectively, too. Will be very interesting to watch.
  17. he also played 39 times so he couldn’t have been that bad.
  18. Think it's a good signing. A midfield three of Mount, Fernandes and Casemiro looks good on paper.

    Aye, I live in Queens and the stadium is all the way up in the Bronx. Probably two hours to get there by public transportation if you live in Queens or Brooklyn. The Bronx has a large Dominican and Puerto Rican population and their main sport is baseball so that probably doesn’t help either. I did go one time and the quality was quite poor. Attendance was scattered and I can’t think of a notable thing about the game other than poor touches. I think the best crowd for sport in NYC is hockey. Ranger fans take over the the public transport and it all looks pretty exciting. I think that’d be the plan of action if I was visiting NYC imo. Easy to get to, too. If you’re not going to live cricket or rugby games in England, there’s no point of going to see a baseball or NFL game here. They’re just less exciting versions.
