I would have taken off Paredes instead of Herrera. Two holding midfielders versus City is not enough mobility. You need more movement between City's defenders and midfielders when you have the ball.
The commentator is going to be in some shit for that "latin temper" comment. Edit: and there's the apology, lol
How he's looked this season, I personally would have Stones over Maguire any day. Plus he's confirmed this season that if you play him next to a quality CB, he's actually pretty good himself. Worked very well with Kompany and now with Dias. He's not a fridge like Mag: the guy can move and even score some goals when required too...
I am so pleased for Gundawg because he was such an amazing player at BvB before all the injuries and he has really fought back to show his true level
Not really a surprise that City win the dirty state oil money head-to-head. They spend their dirty oil money in a more balanced way - at the back as well as the front.
PSG is not a well built team though: for an oil rich club like them, there are way too many average and not good enough players. They have lots of work to do...
Amazingly PSG lack genuine quality in midfield despite how much money they spent Brining on Draxler is an admission of failure - the guy is nowhere near good enough
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Herrera tells RMC: ‘We talk about respect with referees... the referee tonight said f*ck off to Leandro Paredes. If we say that we get a 3-4 match ban.’— Matt Spiro (@mattspiro) May 4, 2021
Hope Pogs stays, but if he does go we want decent money for him. PSG need a lot more from the defensive side, but would also genuinely benefit from someone like Pogs and are one of the few clubs who could afford him. If they somehow fluff the league too there could be a financial reaction.
Have a feeling that it might not be the end of this, Verratti is another complaining that the ref might have insulted him. Marco Verratti: “The referee told me “F*ck you” twice. If I do that, I get a 10 match ban.” Andre Herrera: “The referee told Paredes to f*ck off. It’s incredible.”— Julien Laurens (@LaurensJulien) May 4, 2021
My apologies, I was dead tired. I'm working 7pm to 7am these days so I'm more all over the place than usual.
