I saw ekitike vid and the boy looks good too .. He's got dribbling on him too ..

Ekitake is ok, he is like Isak without the finishing but Sesko is better. His ball striking and Aerial ability are not at his level plus he underperform his xG by 7goals.

Why must it be an Italian coach? You sacked Spalletti, got rejected by pioli another underwhelming option now freaking gattuso is the favorite to take the job. Go for foreign coaches if no better options.

The more I watch Sesko review videos the more I wonder why are going for Ekitake over him. His heading ability, hold up play and ball striking are very impressive and he always outscores his xG.

Tah still starting.

raumdeuter:
Besides goalkeeper they dont have any area better than England

Goalkeeper Italy
Defence equal or England even slightly better
Midfield England
Wingers England
Striker England by far

If your list of England defenders includes Maguire then no further discussion.

Tonalli and Barella is a better combination than rice and whoever.

Apart from Kane England has no other striker.

Enzo5:
of course England have a better squad, but that you statement, anyway retegui I know who are they.

Look at norway's four attacking players haaland, soloth, larsen, odegaard, then when you want to mention those that can hold their own bobb, nusa but who is orsolini

England have better Attackers, Italy has better starting goalkeepers, defenders and midfielders. Orsoloni scored more league goals than Saka and Foden combined last season. Retegui scored more league goals than Soroloth or Haaland last season. Spalletti needs to get more from the squad. The players are descent enough.

Enzo5:
to be fair apart from bastoni, barella, tonali, retegui who are the others, like I have to goggle their wingers. ya zaniolo, fratessi, locatelli are names I recall but what have they done this past season. what did calafori even play for arsenal

Let's compare them to England. They have better goalkeepers, better defenders, Tonali and Barella is a better midfield combination than Rice and Bellingham, England has better options in attack but Retegui,Kean, Orsolini, Raspadori can hold their own.

Italy have quality players when everyone is fit.

Goalkeepers: Donnarumma, Vicario, Meret

Defenders: Cambaiasso/ Di Lorenzo. Bastoni. Scalvani/Calafiori Udogie/Di Marco

Midfield: Tonali, Barella and any of locatelli, Fratessi, Rovella, Zaniolo etc

Wingers: Maldini, Orsolina, Raspadori,

Strikers: Retegui with kean as back up.

So Nico Williams release clause is just 58m euro.

I know injuries forced Nagelsmann but Tah should never be called up again. What a wooful performance

Nubel saves that.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Who be dis German striker wey no fit hold ball

Watch your mouth. Woltemade is a gem

Cc Pkasso

Hope you are watching. Nearly all of Portugal chance have come from Tah positioning. Seems like he cant defend high line, how will he cope at Bayern.

Sane can never change.

Lovely set up from Nagelsmann. Woltemade has been disappointing

Nagelsmann with a back 3. Let's see how it goes

WhoDeyHause:
If not that the transfer market is now unstable, Wirtz is nothing but a 80m player maximum, for apari oil money to run away from that deal proved they was something fishy, he's superb but for 150m? Who die.

Wirtz is worth that amount. How much did Rice go for? If Wirtz is an 80m player then Yamal is 90 maximum.

Nagelsmann needs to keep it simple and flog those Portuguese.

Nubel

Kimmich. Tah. Anton. Mittelstadt

Pavolvic. Goretzka.

Gnabry, . Wirtz. Sane.

Woltemade

55Million Rejinders
30million Cherki
45million Ait nouri.

City have used the Wirtz funds wisely.

Aiit nouri is still 23? I thought he was way older. City are not playing around.

Unlimited22:
Yet ANOTHER City academy product.

I think he was also at Chelsea academy at a younger age.

Seems we are serious about getting Gittens. Progressive carries and Successful Take-Ons he's in the 91 and 99 percentile so he's a very very good dribbler which is the only thing he's exceptional at.

Android17:
Capaldi, I'm not piling on you but Flick performed miracles this season.

Performed miracles with Pedri, Olmo, Ferran, Yamal, Curbasi, Fermin, Garcia that won the Euros and Olympic last summer plus having kounde, Balde, Lewandowski etc Performed miracles with Madrid having only rudiger as their senior center back fit this season plus losing Carvajal to an Acl with vibes and inshallah as coach. If Flick performed miracles then there are no words to describe what Conte and Slot did this season.

Enzo5:
Cherki for 30m or trust paez

How is this even a serious question.

pkasso:
Lol. Enrique dey read your posts for NL? Enrique never compromised on the basics of his philosophy. He only tweaked his system with the players finally understanding what he wanted and were able to execute it almost perfectly. Did he play boring football at Barca?

Flick defeated a league-and CL-defending champion that just added the best player in the world, in Real Madrid. On 4 different occasions. Including 2 finals. Let's not forget this same team trashed Barca flawlessly the previous season.

Barca were also top of the league in early October only for them to hand Real the advantage. All this flux and change is not abnormal in a title race. I'm sure if we check the weeks spent at the top of the table, Barca will be number one.

Keeping consoling yourself with imaginary Ws, bro Everybody else knows the truth.

Too many shalayes. Did he twerk his system from boring possession football to fast pace quick counter and transition?

Flick beat a manager I never rated especially when it comes contesting league titles. All I see is W's.

Capaldi:
They don't have a dead midfield. They have a dead coach. Any tactical Coach worth his salt will dominate that Flick Barca with the worth of talent he has to pick from. Ancelotti is just clueless.

pkasso:
You were quick to criticize Enrique right from the start, ignoring the fact that he was trying to change the identity and philosophy of that PSG team. Implementing all those changes wasn't always going to be fast and seamless. In his second season, he has delivered a first CL for his club, winning the final in the most dominant fashion ever seen, after losing the best player in the world. Guy, just eat the humble pie!

I like how you used another of your victims, Ancelotti take cancel Flick. Sense no go kill you Let's pretend anyone gave Barca any chance of competing with Real this year. Not only did Flick win, he won in style playing some of the most entertaining football we have all seen in a while and a flawless Clasico record to boot. All with 0 signings!

I know you too well to go down on back-and-forths with you. All your shalaye doesn't change anything. This Double L dey your forehead like tattoo. You just can't see it

No L was given. I criticized Enrique for his boring football and he changed. That's a W for me.

Flick won the league against a manager known for bottling league titles. Ancelotti was ten points clear In December yet finished 2nd which explains why he has only won 6 in 30years. Another W for me.

Cc Pkasso..... For once he stopped playing boring football so good for him.

Capaldi:
Enrique is inept. His name should stop coming up. The squad is tailormade for Nagelsman football. Are you not tired of Passive tiki taka nonsense over the past few seasons, death by backwards and sideways passing with no bite .

Capaldi:
From all Maresca scouting report I have seen he is just another Pep copycat. Hopefully he is not the boring version like Enrique. I don't have time for pointless and boring possession football.

Capaldi:
I hate our slow build up. Look at how Bournomoth were spreading play with forward passing out wide in several passes and it was killing us. Can't believe we've gone back to slow motion, sideways useless passing football again when Luis Enrique is not our coach.

pkasso:
Capaldi, my guy. Don't you think it's time you apologized to Luis Enrique. The man don make you eat your words oh. And Hansi Flick too. You've been dragging them all these years, questioning their abilities as top coaches. Now is the time to say "I'm sorry. I was familiar with your game but agidi no let me gree." No be to dey drag Kimmich every time.

Na God save you sef. You narrowly escaped a monumental L with Inter knocking out Barca. A Flick-Enrique final would have seen you chop dragging like never before. Inzaghi tried for you, but unfortunately he couldn't finish the job.

The two best teams in the world right now are being coached by these guys. Let your apologies be louder than your disrespect, bro!

Enrique winning the champions league after spending 700million in two seasons doesn't change my opinion about him. Infact he changed his approach to a more direct style of play with quick transition unlike the boring pass to death I always criticized him for.

Flick winning la Liga against Mr vibes and inshallah who has 6 league titles in nearly 30years was expected. He has done nothing special.

Caicedobets:
That was the only exception because in recent memory I can't remember any other team winning UCL with it.
It is a formation which is easy to find out..just make your wingers to pin back the opponent wing back and drag the centre backs around


The formation looks very predictable and even Tuchel couldn't dominate he league the seasons that followed that UCL win.Pep still beat him like four consecutive times in the league after that final

Too much explanation. Tuchel won the champions league with it, Inzaghi went to two finals, even Pep used a variation of 3 at the back to win his champions league at City.

Caicedobets:
Yesterday match reminded me why no team has ever won the modern UCL playing 3 at the back
Some formation are outdated and infact tells you that football has advanced

Conte won the league with 3 at the back but fell off the next season after he was found out both in the league and in Europe.

A certain German won it at this club with that same formation.
