TBH Rodrygo for example hasn't shown that much more than Brahim, kid is so talented. Last season too in the minutes he got. We are blessed with him and Rodrygo for the future. Needs more minutes tho, would loan him out in the summer. He's our Dembele in terms of talent and play style, only difference we bought him for peanuts. He has no weak foot.
Great scene with Unionistas fans there, they’re cheering as if they won the World Cup lol wish our fans were half as behind our team as these guys. Their pitch is horrible and has contributed to some of our struggles, having said that we were still the better team and should have put this game away in the first half. can we not see Bale again? Like ever? I get not playing well, it happens but he obviously doesn’t give a shit about the team at this point, it’s so clear to see with his body language, doesn’t track when he loses the ball, never gets stuck in etc... just keep him on the bench, give his minutes to Brahim. Another awful player today was Marcelo but he at least looked to be trying.
Maybe Gareth just thought playing in this game at this venue was beneath his superstar status so why bother
James was awful. Choked a sitter, turnovers galore, slow as a snail. But there will still be calls for him to play after every match
Yea Brahim needs to get more chances, even if you forget his talent, he gives 110% every time he is on the field, plus in 4-3-3 no one has proven themselves worthy of that right spot, Brahim can lay a claim there if given minutes.
He seems so average nowadays. Always needs to turn to his left foot, he is slow, needs a lot of time to come up with a decision or pass. Only thing he does gets the ball on his lefty and swings it to Marcelo. You will still see this robyblabla say how Zizou treats him unfair. Isco, Valverde, Case, Modric, Kroos are just better.
My stream of course froze when we scored our lone decent goal. Got to hear the goal call though. As have people said, we could have been way better, but we got the job done with a minimum of effort and no one got hurt. Unionistas were worthy opponents, didn't resort to thuggery, and I hope that they stay up this year. I now need some caffeine if I want to stay awake the rest of the afternoon.
Yes he was but IMHO, no one was “good” Vinícius just ran around a lot without any end product, I can’t remember Benz except for those two shots just before he came off, Case and Valverde so so, defence the same, Marcelo doing the same as James, meh all around for me, but, we won so , yeah..... there’s that
He couldn’t care less at this point I suppose, sooner he is gone the better, but I am biased , I was never a fan
At this point we are just wasting a sub by starting Bale. Because he'll come off, either because he doesnt give a shit or because he gets injured. After Utds result today maybe they should just put that bid in
Benzema didn't score in 371 mins. Jovic didn't score in 366 mins. Vinicius 233. Rodrygo 233. Hazard injured for months. Hope our attackers get in form for City because this is dreadful.
James hasn't played competitive football in months. It's understandable that he didnt look good. Either way. Good win, good minutes for the rotation guys, james included
Still my biggest fear from day one when it comes to this team, luckily we’ve been getting a few more goals from all around, especially the midfield , something that we all hoped for when Ronaldo left, but we desperately need at least two of those players mentioned to start scoring (again in the case of Benz) regularly
