Mike Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Barca even more fucked now, Suarez out for the season. Griezemann and what's his name and/or Malcolm could step up? My info is a bit out of date, I've missed so many matches this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Suarez was in great form but think that could work out ok for Barca if they put Griezmann through the middle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikky Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Suarez was in great form but think that could work out ok for Barca if they put Griezmann through the middle Yeah has to be Griezemann as the 9 - he looks lost in any other position in that team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 It hasn’t gone down well with the proper Man Utd fans You just can’t say that as a Man Utd manager. It's interesting how much flak this got, yet Pep came out and said how he couldn't compete with us after we beat them and nobody batted an eyelid. Solskjaer is everyones favourite guy to hate at the minute. Pretty pathetic. Still in the FA Cup, into the knockout stages of the Europa League and sitting in 5th in the Premier League and just after winning 4-0. Not sure what else anyone expected from him to be honest.

Tribesman Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Whatever you think of Valverde as a manager, the way Barcelona have treated him in the last few days has been a disgrace. If you want to sack him then just do it now and put a temporary replacement in charge instead of undermining him as they are now. This situation helps nobody. It is strange they have decided he is not up to the job on the back of a meaningless semi final defeat in the Spanish equivalent of the Community Shield. Clearly losing out on a huge cash windfall from an El Clasico in Saudi Arabia meant more to them rather the two 2nd leg collapses in the Champions League in the last 2 years.

Its 2 years worth of steady decline which he seems to have no answers for (its Messi that has bailed him out countless times) - this season has been worse, they can barley string a performance away from home - playing a turgid 4-4-2 hasn't helped - should have got rid of him end of last season Barca's recruitment has been very poor recently (take De Jong and Arthur to one side), so that part of Barca needs looking into also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Pearson doing a great job at Watford and no surprise to me after him building the side that Ranieri took over at Watford. What a difference to Brewcie. Pearson just gets on with the job, no quotes from the PLM book of quotes, no spinning plates and no excuses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever signs the players should be sacked as well, lots of money wasted on the likes of Coutinho and Malcolm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
