So transparent when managers do this. I remember Marco Silva beating us quite comfortably a few years ago with Watford. the atmosphere was terrible yet These were his post match comments https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/42123692

We have our first glory supporter

Yeah he was great. Brilliant driving run to set up the goal

Was definitely about to pull his shorts down at one point after the goal then decided against it

Geeeeeeeeet uuup

No

We look tired

There were a few claps aswell though

Phew

Class from Bruno, poor from Schar

Crowd is very flat atm

Has to be given

Hope Almiron isn’t on the right

That’s ugly now you mention it wasn’t one of them linked to us with a swap deal for Steven Taylor

At some point he has said he wants to go back to Brescia where he played in Italy

Xavi, Iniesta, and Messi were already in the team before Pep, but they definitely played their best football under him. Pique was a Man U reject, Busquets was indeed brought through by Pep, who had first managed him with the b side i think. The way that team would pass the ball though. I doubt we’ll see anything like it again.

I rate Pep above Wenger tbh

He has also created the greatest team of all time, revolutionised the game from a tactical point of view, improved players where ever he has a been.

yeah, just seems to be mixed reports as to how much Ashworth will have to do with that player recruitment side. Seems he’ll have more to do with the academy side of things. Hope that’s it the case though, he seems to have done a good job in the recruitment side with Brighton.

I’m actually a bit surprised we haven’t add two or three top quality scouts to improve our network.

Aye but Joselu is mint in La Liga isn’t he? Was in the tea of the year not too long ago alongside Messi.

from what I’ve seen he’s a straight up cf. could be wrong though I’m sure nobody or one of the Swedish lads will set us straight.

Hope not think jotenko said he was shite aswell a little while back

I want Isak

I’ve always thought those jibes about Atleti being boring to watch completely untrue. It’s fair to say they can be defensive minded, but as previously mentioned their players are always so technically gifted they’re still enjoyable to watch. They’ve had some lovely players over the years. Forlan, Aguero, Falcao, Koke, Saul, Griezzemann, Felix etc.
