Sarriball :howler: Also lol at the Jorginho and Torreira overraters.

Long but highly recommended piece on Fergie's pre-Utd days (which makes it slightly off-topic, but this bread is as good as any): http://timeontheball.net/2017/06/16/furious-fergie/

Tell them. These Germans are always two years behind.

I'm surprised your lack of footy knowledge includes even German players. Thought it was just some weird bias with Khedira.

Is Sarri blaming the weather, the schedule, or the hotel?

He's the current flavor of the month for the avg footy fan.

Morata was poor in Serie A too. Was great on the counter vs open defenses in CL under a coach who capitalized on his strength. Not suited for a high possession Sarri team in a more conventional CF role. Giroud is very good and useful. Not WC but the type of player generally underrated by the...

Not sure if Varane is finally sober now, but a month ago, saw he was responsible for half or majority of goals Real conceded. 1546702266 Was the best CB last season though.

Van Dijk and in-form Varane best CBs in the world now?

How was best CB in the world van Dijk?

I thought Pool already won the PL, what happened?

No way you can pin it on the players. Only a dogshit coach loses a locker room like that, to that extent.

That was a very enjoyable watch. SAF style play, SAF level performance too. Cardiff looked as good as a relegation guaranteed Serie A team. Neither good technically nor good technically. "The depth of PL."

It'll be Conte or Pochettino. 0 chance of Zidane coaching Utd, which is in worse state than the team he quit and won't be in CL or be a title contender. His agent even rejected the notion of him ever coaching an EPL team IIRC.

This is incredible:

+ Fekir and Depay in attack and Mendy making runs on left flank. Too bad their defense is crap. Could've been a Monaco from couple of yrs ago.

We had a fatigued team in that period after all the injuries. The reason Spurs' midfield ran over ours, which wasn't great to begin with. Injuries and fatigue magnified that. Plenty of knockout ties are easy, esp in R16, but yeah, in games between top teams, upsets aren't rare.

Surprised by how good Pool's defense is. Off-topic: Want Napoli and PSG to go through. Liverpool would be a genuine CL contender this time unlike their lucky run with lucky draws last season. 1544315635 As for Arsenal, amazing (not really) what having a midfielder capable of defending can do...

When Buffon used to make a mistake once/year, it was talked about ad infinitum while concluding he was finsihed. It seems best shot stopper in the world De Gea makes a mistake once a month. Neuer used to do the same when he was considered de facto best FK in the world. Lloris overrating is the...

If they wait too long, they'll have no hope for 4th place.
