ponsaelius Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Atalanta have a wagebill which is less than every PL team except Norwich. They're a great little club who are punching well above their weight at the moment, outperforming the Milan clubs on their doorstep. Having been to Bergamo for a game in November I came away with a great impression. In the city itself you simply don't see kids wearing other clubs' merchandise. It's a proper hardcore, parochial support - in a good way. That said, there's a definite truth that the CL has been completely (both by circumstance and by design) monopolized by the larger nations which is pretty much to the detriment of European football as a whole. Although that seems to be what people (the TV viewers) want to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Really enjoy watching Brighton. Naive Potter has done a canny job to completely change their footballing philosophy in a short period of time Totally agree. Wish he was our manager. They also absolutely played us off the park.

midds Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 They look head and shoulders better. They’ve got a clear plan and a vision of how to put it into operation. They’re knocking it about really well and it’s good to watch. Palace are shocking like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re knocking it about really well and it’s good to watch. Palace are shocking like. They remind me a lot of us. Play a lump up front, men behind the ball and hope the pacy wingers and in their case full-backs rather than wing-backs, can do something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Brighton bought players perfect for their philosophy too. Webster, Maupay, Mooy and Trossard all look good and Potter's used Burn and Alzate regularly and made them look competent PL players Successfully phased out Murray too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 at Alzate becoming a full Comombian international. Born and raised in England to Colombian parents. Kid is fluent in Spanish, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Plays pretty much as a left back for them but tucks into CB when required. It's a bit weird watching a 6ft 7in left back but he looks really comfortable on the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 As much I like entertaining football, it isn't always about that - it's about a clear plan and goal that eventually will lead to results. Brighton are starting to show that. Love to see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
