I don't know how other people see it but I for one think it's very hard to make an impact on a game if you touch the ball just 14 times.
It's a consistent issue with Haaland in big games. He gets isolated because he lacks link up skills. Aguero was a completely different profile. But Aguero also underperformed in CL big games just like Ibra who's technically supreme.
Haaland likes to play on the last line of the opposition defense and Guardiola's tactics/philosophy make it even harder to get him involved by turning players into automatons. And I suppose if he played proper wingers out wide there'd be more space for Haaland as well.
Man Cities kit is absolutely hidious. Looks like a care bear took a random shit from a great height. What on earth were they thinking.
Sporting defender Debast (who’s been shaky since joining this summer) scored his first professional goal against Lille yesterday. Banger.
This is when the greatest of all time players make a difference no?, when the going is tough, he seemed to be involved very little in the general play ( which is my absolute biggest concern with this player) as per normal, and......... no acres of space to run around in like he seems to get in the EPL game after game, it's just one game though so.......... no one is on top of their game all the time Even Kazakhstan seems to have figured out how to make the machine malfunction Yup, i used to bash Benz when he was a 9 and didn't score a lot because of course Ronaldo was the focal point, but Benz ALWAYS PLAYED FOOTBALL for the team, he never disappeared , Haaland is deadly in front of goal, a good player in that sense but just not the kind of player i like, when the going gets a bit tough he seems to disappear because he's just waiting around for something to come his way, i guess it works for him but i'd rather our team did not have this kind of player , as for GOAT striker, nah, he may yet have a sparkling CL season but just not my cup of tea
I think they will bounce back soon tbh. Its generally a good squad, but Fonseca is a dud. I think their scouting not being elite anymore is what hurts them the most. How do you replace Kalulu with Emerson Royal smh.
❗️Javier Tebas: "Barça paid Negreira because he sold them that he could influence the promotions and relegations of the referees. I think they will be sanctioned, but not at the level of the story that is being constructed in Madrid." pic.twitter.com/5AqPBBDD42— Madrid Universal (@MadridUniversal) September 19, 2024
Think Leverkusen have played great on the counter. Not dominating or anything but they are essentially scoring with every chance. Olympiacos are unbelievably poor.
You are right. Don't know why I wrote that. I was thinking of Feyenoord but still wrote Olympiacos >.<
Carlo said after last game that every team suffer in CL. If we played today vs Feinoord no chance we will be 4-0 like Leverkusen. That’s mean that Carlo isn’t preparing the team correctly. We are struggling too much. Every game is hard for us and that’s annoying
Man if this is how much you suffer supporting the most successful team in the sport’s history than I can only imagine how the rest of your life goes
hhhhh brothers.. I know I’m pessimistic and pro-emotions. I just want us to win every game 2/3/4-0 or with easy result p.s. I’m a fan of RM since 94-95 (I was born 1984), so I have been through long time with the team Let’s not forget we had like 7 seasons no going through 1/8 stage
