Dokko Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Just in time for the new FM. Going to have to boost up some of our players, especially Longstaff. Needs to be st least 145 CA. ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This result and everything surrounding it may well get some attention but actually getting out the group will probably be what would change some minds about us and how capable we are now.

Guest Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Still can't get over this. I'm sure the spine of their side were all players we'd have had here and were even linked with over the last 18 months (Skriniar, Ugarte and Ramos) and we've just splatted them.

Smal Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Skriniar looked an absolute disaster, didn’t he. Think Lascelles is better with the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Also, Ugarte looked an absolute villager as well. Truly awful with the ball. edit: clogger auto corrected to villager but I’m gonna leave it Edited October 5, 2023 by Smal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 40 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: Don't think his potential is being wasted. We saw his performance at the WC he can turn it on. Quietly - the last 4 years are as long as Ronaldinho's peak. He just doesn't have a CL to show for it and nobody rates Ligue 1. At this point he's pretty much just an international footballer. The PSG thing is a complete farce. As good as he is when he turns it on for France, I can't help but wonder if he'd be even better if he was in a healthier club environment, where he was actually being pushed and challenged to be more.

It’d be like saying we didn’t have a history so to speak. To others, that’s true. But we know it’s wrong. Aye fair enough, but my point was compare them against the teams I listed. Now they have a football club that’s nothing more than a Nike catalog that has failed to achieve anything more than the bare minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messi and Ronaldo were incredible players but also fantastic athletes, Ronaldo especially. When they got older and their athleticism wore off they were still absolutely excellent players. I’m not sure Mbappe is anywhere near the same player without his pace. Never seen him control a game on his reading, positioning, passing alone. When I see a very good player with a clear athletic advantage i always wonder what they’d be like without it. If it’s clear they’d still be a hugely influential figure on the pitch then I think they’re a great player. You’ve got to have more than one clear advantage over the opposition to be considered in the very top bracket imo. My take, anyway…. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Henry was better technically than Drogba. But Drogba was the better older player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. I wonder where Vinicius Jr. and Mbappe would be if they swapped clubs at 19. Or moreso how they are perceived. Mbappe's raw numbers are markedly better iirc. One is seen to be playing at his potential and the other isn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
