This team is hard to watch. I keep having to remind myself this is a dead rubber game just to avoid getting riled up.
I think the club will use Mou's "requirements" to move on Fede and back Tchouameni in this. I was listening to a Global Madridista's podcast and he has a friend that knows Fede personally, and apparantly he isn't a very nice person in general, they live next to each other and their children interact.
Funny no one spoke of Fede not being a nice person until this season.... at least not that i've heard or read anywhere, i wonder why.....
Valverde is the type of player who playing as a forward gives you a hat trick and a win in CL knockouts against one of the hottest teams in Europe (City) but also sacrifices for the team and plays midfield and defense when the back line us decimated by injuries. Tchoumieni is the type who doesn’t give you goals or assists and refuses to play as CB even when it’s his best position and would alleviate many of the teams problems that resulted from an under strength and often injured defense BUT he will send the team Captain to the hospital and out injured right before a high stakes game against the clubs biggest rival. It’s a no brainer. It won’t be hard to find a no talent enforcer, Pablo Garcia and Graveson level player. They think they are the new Makelele and Anelka but they are the generation of French Frauds.
It's like a lot of people have already said on this forum - the performances, toxicity and poor senior leadership have resulted in so many players showing their true colours. That, plus the leaks, has compounded the players' behaviours.
Mbappe's shot to goal ratio must be absolutely awful. He needs a million chances. Simply not good enough.
arrrgh....really wanted Franco to score that. Would have done him so much good. Had a torrid few months
The more I see of the last few games we're playing in, the more I begin to question whether Mourinho can turn this around.
Mou does not care if a player is a nice person and I bet if you asked him you would get some sarcastic clap back like “I like a guy who gets a little dirty sometimes, you can’t play this game for 90 minutes without breaking some of the rules.” As for Mou’s requirements or whatever I’m fairly sure he prefers players like Tchou and Fed over Mbappe and Trent for example.
Another offside. It's just endless. Doesn't know how to time his run. Mbappe should have 4 goals in the game
Kylian “I can’t wait because I’m crazy greedy” Mbappe offside once again and an easy pass into the back of the net called back.
If Kim Bappe stays and start next season as a 9 again.....the season is over This set up is self sabotage
There's such wild opinions on this forum, some of you need to be a little less cryptic. Are you suggesting a media conspiracy against him, or referencing that he got into a literal fight with a teammate and ended up in the hospital, after wide reporting that he was making numerous highly dangerous tackles against that teammate during training?
