Alvarez with a MOTM performance last night and alongside Rodri I'd say he's been City's best player this season so far....
- Remind the team they are on the cusp of yet more history; outright most Copa titles and join a handful of teams to win a hattrick of major...
Seems like Lucas Martinez (Fiorentina) has been good despite Fiorentina's poor season.
With Messi, Lautaro, Julian, Dybala, Garnacho, Di Maria and Nico I can see Scaloni trying a few things. 10 matches this year plus a few more...
Haven't looked at the lineups but the Brazil-Argentina encounters in the late 50s probably very stacked. Also the El Clasico in the early 60s -...
I know, it's an odd thing to say. But the narrative in some sections of the media now is that while he scores a lot, Man City have regressed...
Julian Alvarez and Riyad Mahrez dug City out of that one. The PL title race looked over at some point. And not to kick someone while he's down but...
[MEDIA] This angle of Messi's world cup highlights is really something special.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Harry Kane strike me as superior passers of the ball to Karim Benzema, but perhaps there's more being considered as...
For sure. If partnered with Alvarez he could give the side depth and off the ball runs/movement. Dybala works plenty hard too.
Seeing as Scaloni pretty much reached the managerial peak and has more leverage than any active football manager right now, I really hope he takes...
Going on memory and eye test Alessandro Nesta and Virgil Van Dijk seem like the ones for me. If 1-on-1 includes aerial duels too then VVD edges it.
Remember City are competing on 4 fronts this season and the second half of the season is so congested. If they go through in the FA Cup, EFL Cup &...
In what way would you say Laudrup was inconsistent? One game to another or during singular games he'd go from being heavily involved to being...
KDB is a better crosser of the ball, but that's really it for me. Laudrup is better at any other type of pass, is a superior dribbler, more...
After the final I have some changes to my XI GK: Emi Martinez - I'm sure Livakovic and possibly Bounou made more saves than him, but the last...
Congratulations to you guys. What a team and what spirit, it was almost stolen from them like against Netherlands but always showed great spirit...
They are quality players. Rabiot's been the only decent player for Juve this season and Dembele probably only has fewer assists than Messi & KDB...
I'm surprised with the plaudits going his way too and I felt he was a (hidden) weak link for them since the Copa last year. Whatever they are...
I had some close ones too. In goal I've considered Livakovic, Bounou and Emi Martinez with Szczęsny as an outside chance. At right back I liked...
With just the final and 3rd place match to go, I'd have this as the best XI Bounou; Hakimi, Otamendi, Konate, T.Hernandez; Tchouameni, Ounahi,...
That was a dramatic semi final. But really surprised by Van Gaal's approach there to basically circulate the ball between the three centre backs...
Good points, I think it would be useful to rest Di Maria, De Paul and Acuña. But Mac Allister still has a lot of running in him and is used to...
Messi performance was really easy on the eye, reminded me of some match vs Man City back in 2015. That night Barca won 2-0 and Messi had a penalty...
I thought Frenkie was okay mostly, the Senegal midfield is really physical and can keep things tidy plus Sarr really stretched the game. Apart...
