this common sense is not common to them, the 3 of them, there level of stubborn hatred and support they show each other is unique. It's like 3 blind men leading each other

We are more than 3, we are majority here who don't rate Enzo or at least know he is holding us back

swiz123:
My eyes bleed whenever I read your analysis. No one in history types nonsense so confidently.

First , Enzo plays CM and makes more riskier passes than Vitinha. He might not be very fast but so is Fabian Ruiz who is also a CM but why is Ruiz’s lack of athleticism not an issue? Let me educate your lack of critical reasoning.

PSG press aggressively and most importantly as a unit. Opposition are forced to go long which makes them turnover possession. One thing about losing the ball while trying to go long is that you can’t press in sync to win the ball. This allows PSG so much time with the ball. Vitinha benefits from this and also complements this by always being available to receive a pass.

Where was his controlling ability when Portugal faced Spain? Think properly for once and let go off agenda. One player can’t be the problem of a team, you always do this God!!!

Enzo was gliding like an Eagle during the World Cup because of Argentina’s effective press. I remember you gave De Paul credit for it. Why not give Neves credit for PSG midfield because his relentless press ensures PSG have possession which Vitinha enjoys.

Stop talking rubbish

Vitinha and Enzo are both CMs so they will be compared on CM stats which are around passes and pressing effectiveness, not AM stats which is for Palmer to qwantar with Ruiz

Caicedo = Neves
Enzo = Vitinha
Palmer = Ruiz

Enzo was the DM for Argentina with McAllister and DePaul doing the shuttle runs. Enzo just had to sit back and sweep up. He does not have the legs to recover from the shuttle runs. He should stay in the position we bought him for, which is the only position he has legs to play, at least he won't be vacating the midfield and not getting back

Singapore1:
I agree that 85% pass accuracy is poor for a midfielder ( I am even of the opinion that anything below 90% is unacceptable because it mean miss 1 out of every 5 passes which is poor), but you're only focusing on that one stat. The full stats show that Enzo took more risks, won more duels, and created more chances. You're not being fair to him, and the only reason you dislike him is because he’s not your typical Bissouma/Lavia/Caicedo type of player.

Does he need to do more? A big yes.
Is he being disrespected? Also a big yes. he is the "jack of all trades" of the 3 midfield we have ..

No worry, by Sunday you will see the wide chasm behind those useless stats.

Enzo pass nothing ball to Gusto, Palmeiras keeper fumble Gusto shot, Enzo pass nothing ball to JP, JP unleashes screamer, you tally assist stat against useless teams and use to compare with Vitinha who is babying the best midfields in the world

Enzo cannot even compete adequately against a midtable EPL team. Spits

If you cannot close space and you cannot control the play, there is nothing to discuss in terms of midfield work, and Enzo is woeful at both

Madueke is just about the only Clearlake signing sold for a clear and decent profit except Angelo Gabriel which was a parapo sale

Respect Madueke, he doubled his value unlike every other Clearlake signing which are losing them millions

Ballzproblemm:
Noni madueke fee agreed on £50m+

A good sale price achieved by Chelsea

Arsenal to the rescue once again

I would have sold him for £35m

Realtord43:
The herd mentality here is worrisome. If any one here criticized a player here some will just join in without having self thought.

Imagine calling Enzo Fernandez ghost worker but he's toping the assists chart and going neck to neck with Vintinha in stats.

Which stats is he going neck to neck with Vitinha in?

Do you know the wide chasm between a 95% pass success rate and 85% success rate for a central midfielder?

Only clowns who don't know midfield work will read anything into those stats, none of them are relevant for a CM except pass success rate which he is lagging behind woefully

That 85% pass success rate Enzo is on is what you expect from your run of the mill KDH level midfielder while the 95% for Vitinha is a Xavi level stat

And the most important stat for CM work, which is no of passes per game is missing, nor do any of those stats show you the number of times Vitinha makes his press in time while Enzo is nowhere to be seen on his presses, that's why we call him a ghost worker. Those who watch football for spaces closed and rejected are the ones who will call him a ghost worker while Playstation watchers like yourself never see any problem in a midfielder who never closes or gets close to his man on his half of the midfield press

You no Sabi anything midfield

airmark:

Styles make fights.

We need strength and ball winners in that middle and swift transmission to catch them unawares at the back. Enzo should come in the 2nd half to finish up and shame you as usual.

If he can't do the above and he doesn't control, what his he good for?

Proper passenger

Enzo na name of street or pole?

Otherwise known as Casper

We can outscore them with this.

When water pass garri, we done see say you no rate Enzo

diggz:
E no go better for Fayose honestly. Na him start all this nonsense with the photos.

Mr stomach infrastructure, the first Governor to make weaponisation of poverty and sharing garri and rice his cornerstone marketing tool, and unashamedly so

CAPdan21:
Sure..but he's not like he had a lot of options bar staying another season at Nott forest
Liverpool, Man city and Arsenal are stocked with midfielders, Man UTD has no European football and probably does not have the finance for midfielders...Chelsea has a lot of midfielders right now so it's not a priority position leaving Spurs...

Thing about signing for Spurs at his age is he will finish his best days there. At 25 turning 26, he should have been making his big move that will fill his trophy cabinet. Looks like his will be a career unfulfilled. I think City were sniffing round him earlier before the Cherki deal so he is a candidate for the top clubs, just that his timing is off. If I were him I'd wait one more year than move to Spurs. Moving to Spurs is a death sentence for a player hitting the prime of their career. Levi go lock you down there and frustrate you. Who will remember Son career?

Sportsweb:
‼️ Chelsea have sold Mathis Amougou to Strasbourg, and the 19-year-old midfielder will sign a 5-year deal, 6 months after joining Chelsea for €15m.

~ @lequipe

Looks like he was always destined for Strasbourg from day one hence Maresca never bothered to give him game time even in walkover Conference League games

Maybe Blueco didn't want Strasbourg to approach St Etienne direct

Enzo5:
one plays in ligue 1 and gets all the hype, the main difference on sunday would be down to tactics by the managers, because someone can't even say that joao neves is better than caicedo or that Ruiz is better than palmer or Santos.

another area is our weaker cbs and gk, Enrique brought out the best of dembele and doue, these boys could easily have become average under a different manager

Miechonu dia, stop trying to mention Enzo with Vitinha. Vitinha is everywhere controlling the game while Enzo is absent, only thing he does is run into the box and take 5 mins to get back into midfield

Sunderland got a very good deal for Adingra at £21m

Adingra can play for B+ to A- team, his delivery is superb and he doesn't waste time. One body-feint move to create space and an accurate cross is coming in immediately

West Ham should have got him for the opposite flank to Bowen, perfect balance between a crosser and a box runner

drisham:
Gibbs white to spurs is a deal I didn't see coming

That means he settled for less

His next move should have been to an A grade team

Sportsweb:
If Caicedo and Lavia are fit, there's a little chance or we lose honorably.

Without Caicedo, inter Milan will use us to motivate themselves

fredoooooo:
Only fools will not give psg their flowers, I am in love with the Trios in the minefield, kwara and Mendez ... the best team in the world today.
If its not madn3sss how will someone not respect what pep has done in the game.. its either you're jealous or you're a fool... Reality determine , every one has opinion .. you don't need big grammer to define common sense

Only an avtistic person will interpret the below statement as not giving PSG their flowers. They are far and above the best team in world football, but if there is any team with a chance of getting through a tie against them, it is the teams I mentioned below. What does "somewhat contain" mean to you?

Ibime:
Only Liverpool, Arsenal and Bayern have the tools to somewhat contain this PSG team in World football

And Pep team was the best but Chelsea team got through them once with Di Matteo and twice easily if not for Ovebro cos Chelsea had the tools to contain them. Infact Chelsea was 2/2 against that Pep team, or 100% success record if not for Ovebro

AirBere:
Bayern will do initial gra gra against any solid team but eventually they'll lose normally. They're not that good. Didn't they run Barca close only to concede 4 and lose? Did same against PSG only to lose 2nil against 9 men even though second goal came very late.

Arsenal lost home and away. On your list, I only trust Liverpool.

Liverpool is no 1 on that list of course

Anyone who watched Bayern game last week knows it could have fallen Bayerns way on another day. Bayern showing depends on whether Kompanys brain is touching. Last week he went with extreme pace of Koman which put PSG on their toes and Pavlovic gave them better control in midfield, and they had more shots and more possession and only conceded in the 78th minute

Arsenal were never blown away despite losing Partey and having to field Trossard upfront leaving them weak in both midfield and upfront. With Zubimendi and Gyokeres coming in, their armoury is more robust

andrew444:
You can’t win all games albino ,the same Bayern you mentioned was disgraced by me and lost against inter

You also turned Dortmund to prime Brazil. One time is a coincidence. 4 different matches against Inter and Dortmund shows you soft as baby doodoo

geoworldedu:
Arsenal's touching distance of home and away gbas gbos. Bayern's annihilation of 9 man to 11 man

Bayern were in that game blow for blow till PSG late goal. They then overextended themselves on counterattack at the dying minute to concede the 2nd

andrew444:
Dey play

You score me 7 and you concede 10

Next season your albino eyes go clear

Clown,you turn common InternMilan to prime Brazil, you dey make noise

How did Marascal become ireti again

Diggz can put you through. Something about village headmaster and Gringory

Debroslink:
PSG have beaten all these teams you've mentioned.

Pedri vs PSG midfield. UEFA should make this happen.

It wasn't a walkover. Bayern ran them close just last week and could have won. Liverpool only lost on penalties and Arsenal were within touching distance but hampered by Partey suspension

Your boy Pedro go chop am. No fault of his own, the Flick highline will be put to sword

User09:
And why's Arsenal in this?

With Zubimendi.in their midfield with a striker they are robust enough

They would have been robust enough to run it close in UCL if Partey wasn't suspended last season

User09:
I may need to go watch that Botafogo match vs PSG again. I remember lots of deep blocks

I need to see how they did it and what possible strategy we can adopt.

Leave that to Ireti

You can watch all you want but is Ireti sensible enough to drop his stubbornness and implement it?

diggz:
Barca nko?

Barca wey dey leak goal like tap against Dortmund and Inter

They'll be out before end of first half of the first leg

Only Liverpool, Arsenal and Bayern have the tools to somewhat contain this PSG team in World football

Alonso should not allow his aura be undermined like this. Last last he should have kept it tight

Modric still has decent pace and energy

Tottenham should bring him home

diggz:
lol …I need his level of trust in the ghost worker for humans in general. By the way, who would you field in midfield if both Caicedo and Lavia are not fit for the final?

Santos plus one other
