And also Jao Felix but i doubt if he can be good as Kaka.

He is a good shout but I just thought that move to Atletico derailed his career. I watched him in Portugal and he was a talented kid

Looks like he is gradually getting back into form at Barcelona

šŸ˜¬ Only Neal Maupay (.8.) has had more shots on target without scoring a goal than Enzo Fernandez (6) in the Premier League this season

WhoScored



well well well,yes your primary work is not to score goal but I expect you to do when the opportunity presents itself.

I had to download our highlights again to watch over and over again in other to see the fault of Enzo FernƔndez for Rice's goal as swiz123 opined but it seems the swiz123 actually watched a different game cause i don't understand and can't see his fault here. Pls good people should help me to see from 7:38mins and confirm.

You don't care about the fundamentals of midfield play beside forward and Hollywood passes. We have established that to be true.

A midfielder is much more than what you see. A midfielder's job is to control possession by helping his team ensure they keep the ball instead of going long all the time.

How do they do this?? It's simple, they cover a lot of ground in an effort to ensure they are always available to receive the ball even under pressure. Central midfielders with high passing volume do this a lot and hence, it becomes arguably the most important metric to judge a CM and DM.

When Sanchez received the ball from Colwill, Enzo should have opened up to receive that ball and if he did, he would have received the ball at the exact place Sanchez dropped the pass. Sanchez is blamed for not looking before dropping the pass ; he only relied on Enzo opening up to receive the pass.
Therefore, Sanchez made a mistake because Enzo let him down.

I will blame this on tired legs after the international break but this better not happen again. I only judge players based on their primary role and nothing more.

Eagle-eyed people will also notice that Enzo's lack of legs limits ibime's dog from running into the box to cause overloads -- something he is a little decent at.

I don't think anybody wanted Declan Rice more than I did.

Raumdeuter and his foolish crew were even mocking me that I was hyping a player that was playing for fvckin West Ham that no top club wanted.
They mocked me too. I initially preferred Rice but saw that our board donā€™t rate him too much before I settle for Caicedo. Caicedo is good too so..,

Yep he sabi run with ball till he enter box, then he go do nonsense

But his record for Brazil under 23s suggests there may be goals in him, maybe going through confidence issues
Brazil is overhyped now. If you notice since the emergence of Neymar Brazil started having unserious players. Is it a coincidence or someone dubbed as the next Pele actually affected the nation negatively. Before Neymar Brazilian players were not known for whining and sissy attitude. They werenā€™t known for lackadaisical attitude.

Thank you, I blame it on tired legs too. Sanchez was supposed to pass that ball to Sylva. Silva even called for the ball but he chose the middle when he wasnā€™t in his goal, that was stupid of Sanchez. In training, goalkeepers are taught to play the ball side ways if he is out goal post.

Unfortunately,your lengthy words doesn't depict what happened in the game/highlights above. You can not gaslight me with your beautiful prose.I have my eyes which cannot deceive me to do my own independent assessment.

How did Enzo make himself unavailable for Sanchez to pass to? Bear him mind Arsenal players were at his two sides. I believe he should have ran into Arsenal player same thing you and User09 usually criticise Mason Mount for that he was clogging the midfield paces.


The very first thing i said immediately we conceded that goal was to complain about our back passes. Often too many times at Chelsea, a players in Colwill situations will resort to passing behind rather than trying to be a little bit clever just by cutting it to pass to back to Enzo who had already scouted his surroundings to receive the pass? Our players are mentally lazy. OK,now let's assume the goalkeeper was the safest and only option for Colwill to pass to,he already got that right.


So what was the keeper supposed to do on getting the ball in that intense situation with the ball on his weaker foot? Try some fanciful pass in between ? Just before the highlights of Rice's goal there was also a similar scenario were the Arsenal goalkeeper tried to pass to Rice which eventually fell into the legs of Palmer. But we never see you telling us about how Rice didn't make himself available for pass but used Palmers miss to call him overrated.


I am all for fairness,replace Sanchez with Victor Valdez and Enzo with Xavi Hernandez in that highlights, and i am sure your narratives would have been different blaming valdez instead.

Popi grin grin

Even without trying, you could easily see that Palmer saw Rice and was intentional to intercept the pass. Go back and see if Nketiah even knew about Enzo nor tried to intercept the ball. Enzo simply was hiding by the periphery of Nketiah who had no intention of shadow marking him.

This situation is exactly what Enzo should have taken advantage of to open up behind Nketiah.

What I am saying shouldn't surprise you given that Sanchez was very mad at Enzo for selling him out cheaply.

When Rodri was suspended, I watched Kalvin Phillips keenly in the few moments he played and was surprised he was not receiving the ball enough to the degree Rodri was. City did not lack possession, but for some reason the stat could not be translated to Mr. Phillips.

Your post contains the reason why. He was never positioning himself rightly to receive the ball.

Guardiola likes technical security and control and grealish gives him all that. Doku at best should be a second half sub when city finds it difficult to break down low block teams.
If I had my way I'll do that. Or better yet freaking play Grealish in his rightful position which is in midfield. He has better retention than Alvarez, wins more fouls than Foden and has more gravity than anyone not named KdB or Haaland.

That was what made him special at Villa. Jack needs runners ahead of him but Pep is playing him on the wings like he is Iniesta - which he is not. Imagine playing Zidane as a winger (Jack is not on Zidane's level).
