⚽️THE FOOTY THREAD: PSG v Bayern

[AZwildcats]

I’m dying at Dembele telling the ref “muy mal” and getting sent off for it

Alright gents, so my hotel in Manchester was about a 25 minute walk to the Etihad. By the way, Manchester is a delightful city. Absolutely loved my 2 days there. Anyway, rain was in the forecast all week for Sunday, but we only had a few sprinkles here and there! The Etihad itself is beautiful in it's own way. The inner halls are wide and the food was quite good. We shared a hotdog, a burger, chips, a water and a beer for around 22pounds total!

I got some really good seats, 4 rows up from the field. The views were spectacular. Pre-match , we were right where Wolves were practicing, and close to the visitors end.

Fellow Mexican, Raul Jimenez came over to give some love to a couple that had a Mexican flag with them. Then, after the match he came back again to take a few pics. Class guy.

The game was awesome. Atmosphere was great. Supporters stands were nuts the whole game. Wolves fans went bonkers when they scored. Although, they were talking lots of trash after the match. Thank god that visitors have their own exit cause ish wouldve gone down lol

Cancelo needs more playing time. Wolves defense was solid all match, even though City had a few good chances. There just want much room in the box for City. Otamendi was terrible. Those missed sliding tackles happened rt in front of me. So stupid. Tough outcome, but life goes on.

Like Kroenke paying Arsene to be his scapegoat for being cheap

That said I think the fans will eventually demand for Ole to be out. They’re going to need a manager that attracts and demands talent in the market and results. A manager who is more of an extension of their own aspirations for the club. Ole doesn’t have the clout to be more than a company man.

The question is going to be will the board/ownership budge

I don’t think they budge because they’ve already been thru 3 managers, they’re tired of being embarrassed by their inability to make competent decisions.

They’re going to ride this out with Ole and stick to their stupid “Brexit FC” plan, at least until next Summer.

Plus I’m sure the board are thrilled they have a manager they can control now. They couldn’t control LvG and José. OGS puts a positive spin on anything, he’s too nice.

Ole here to stay folks, at least until next summer or beyond....

That’s awesome, so you were close to the Wolves fans then right? If so....

No pics of Adama putting that work in homie?

This isn’t footy related but life related....

With the rise of Far-Right politicians winning elections all throughout Europe/World (Spain, Italy, Hungry, Brazil, etc) since Trumptard was elected....

Portugal’s Socialist Liberal President was re-elected in a LAND SLIDE. His far-right opponent forfeited in disgrace. We remain one of the few countries in Europe with a Leftist President.

Proud of my country for setting a standard and not getting brainwashed by the Right. Proud day to be Portuguese....?? ??

So so dope man. Super jealous def on my bucket list

[sonoftony]

arstyle27 glad you enjoyed Manchester. I need to go back ASAP

 

[Beans]

Manchester is such a dope city... glad you made it, sucks they took an L

So much wrong with this club. Firing Ole won't change anything. Said from day 1, he wasn't the right choice. But firing him changes nothing long term. Really have no idea what the way forward should look like. Baffling that Woodwards head isnt on the chopping block, just shows the glazers could care less.

Didn’t Tibout suffer an anxiety/panic attack last week?

where is the bus that says "he's trash"...?

Tbh I can definitely see them competing for the Championship next season at this rate

If Flo wants to spend €100 on Gaby Jesus and he genuinely thinks Gaby Jesus could become Bale’s replacement...

He’s officially lost his mind. He’s done. He’s become senile. Time to fire Flo and put him in nursing home.

 

[Sinner]

 

[Verde Shuttles]

I'd be surprised if we bought Gaby especially at that price, only forward I see them spending big on is Mbappe in one or two summers, and the source is Don Balon.

I like that Ruben Neves rumor better, as we need to rebuild our midfield and I would be looking at a keeper.

 

[jape]

btw from what i saw yesterday i don't see real madrid bringing back reguillon.
he's all heart but so sus when pressured.
he was food all night long.

Everybody knows my thoughts on Gaby Jesus.... he’s bang F’n average to me. Absolutely not worth that money, he couldn’t doesn’t deserve to be in the same sentence as Bale.

Maybe a bad night, he's been real good for Sevilla
2 of Carvajal, Mendy, Odriozola, Marcelo, Hakimi and Reguillon will have to go.
I think Carvajal, Mendy & Hakimi are locks to be here in the future, Marcelo will go soon enough, this summer would be preferable.

Not buying the Jesus rumor at all

I haven't really been tracking him. If that's the case I can still get down with the Carvajal/Odri on the right, Mendy and Hakimi on the left.

Also Verde Shuttles , you know I love Ruben and my Portuguese players. But regardless, I’ll always keep it real. I think Ruben Neves has digressed in the last year, and it’s disappointed me.

Yes he can score a wonder goal, yes he can pick out a precision pass from 60 yards away. His right foot is magic. But he is not an energetic box to box midfielder like prime Luka Modric.

He’s slow, he becomes lackadaisical, he allows a lot of mistakes on the defensive end. He’s very stagnant, Moutinho hustles way more than him. Also Neves ball control is good, but definitely not great.

If RM want Neves to be the Luka Modric replacement it won’t work out. But maybe I’m wrong, maybe he needs to be surrounded by world class players but judging Neves on the last year. I expected more.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

The thing I like about Neves is that he barely plays in the box, I want somebody in that mold maybe not exactly him, what I want from my CDM at RM because our fullbacks, Ramos play so high up, (once Ramos goes this won't be much of an issue) and Kroos is a jogger is for him to stay back. I think it's fine to have a player that screens the defense, doesn't lose the ball and can pick a pass. That's where my constant frustrations with Casemiro comes from, you don't offer enough offensively to justify going so high up the field, and he's a complete liability on the ball when pressed. It's not only him that does that but he's our worse player in attack outside of Varane.

So you’d want Neves to play a Xabi/Pjanic/Jorginho role?

That could work. But an energetic box to box midfielder, Neves won’t be that.

 

[noskey]

Lyon has fired Sylvinho. Not sure if that was communicated in here yet, but I know there was discussion of him being a disaster so far.

Wenger masterclass incoming?
