Leyqute:
He’s gotten England playing in a different way and they’re looking dangerous. Like you said , new manager bounce and it’s Finland, but it’ll be interesting to see how he progresses.

England has got talented players and I won’t say it’s impossible for them to match those teams you mentioned, even though they are nowhere near them right now. Time will tell.

Kane scores.

I agree 💯

andrewbaba44:
This de ligt guy sha

Let me finally see his United performance before I decide to call him a fraud or not

Delightful is a fraudulent CB. That Ajax team, coach included, Lisandro excluded na pure scam.

Maguire will eventually bench Delightful but I could be wrong sha lol!

raumdeuter:
Germany no dey that level yet. England is still currently more talented than Germany

Germany just dey rebuild

I think they are. If they had beaten Spain which was a very close game with Germany looking better in some sketches, they would've won the euros.

This Germany under Negelsman will flog this current England.

Edit; I agree that the current England team is more talented yeah!

Leyqute:
This guy [/b]has turned England into a dangerous possession team. [b]It’s Finland anyways. Would be good to see how they perform against top teams- if he’s still in charge by then.

I think he'll be given the job but England will still fall short when it matters. He's a good coach plus new manager bounce but when you watch Germany, Spain and Argentina, I just don't see England cutting it against those teams. Especially Germany. They're really fast and strong.

PDPGuy:
The Special one 😁

Raumdeuter, Mourinho mentioned Boateng among old men them in relation to winning something including the UCL. Seems like he knows ball lol!

obonujoker:
As a Barca fan, I wish say our coach fit buy Kolo Muani as our new striker

In my universe, Kolo Muani is a Barca legend. I'll welcome him at Barca when the time is right.

We'll never forget Munai! 🙏

hopefulLandlord:
You mean 2011 when your team was looking lost and ref had to help them by giving Van Persie a harsh second yellow? That team?

08/09 trumps that team anytime anyday brother. Anytime I see people clown Barca for that Chelsea match I know such a person didn't watch the match to see decisions that also went against Barca too in both legs.

Lol okay

I know that Barca is always helped by refs. Every success at Barca in it's 125 year history is always orchestrated by referees but for today, I'll not be running in circles with you.

If you feel 2008/2009 was better than 2010/2011, then I respect your opinion and you're right.

My pick is 2010/2011. By far the best team according to Oliverano. Others will pick 2014/2015 msn, others 009, others 005. It depends on what you feel was better.

Oliverano feels 2010/2011 was better than them all!

Awesome01:
For me it's the sextuple squad. 2009/2010.

It's 2008/2009.....2009/2010 lost in the semis to Inter Milan who eventually won the whole thing.

cuffee:
Fans which is your best barca team among the four below? Andrewbaba44, awesome01, jpmoriarti, ijustwantto, obonujoker, oliverano
2008/2009
2009/2010
2010/2011
2014/2015

2008/2009 won everything and most will choose them as the best and quite rightly so.

But you see that 2010/2011 team eh. Believe me, I've never had such peace of mind watching Barca play football.

I doubt you'll ever find a one sided UCL final like the game Vs United. Even when Rooney equalised I wasn't moved a bit. One of the greatest football managers of all time couldn't cope playing against that team.

My pick is 2010/2011!

Believe me Ferran is really a curious case. Managers will continue to play him and fans will keep complaining. What they see? I guess something beyond movement.

Whatever happens, when it's time to get rid and i hope it's sooner rather than later, we shouldn't sell him to a team in Laliga because he'll definitely become our boggey player. He looks like one of those players that'll always turn up against Barca.

2G/A today Vs Switzerland!

Leyqute:
——Ugarte—-
Bruno—Mount

I feel like this is ETH’s first choice midfield

None of them can keep the ball so expect one touch football of the highest calibre!

BlueMann:
Lautaro is most def making top five ahead of Wirtz.

He lacks the necessary PR and has gone under the radar. Inter captain, Won seria A, best player, top scorer, won Copa America, top scorer. He's rated but not all that. I think he did better than Mabape last season too but most people will still have Mbape as top 5.

Personally this is my top 5....

1 VJnr
2. Rodrigo
3. Jude
4. Lauturo
5. Kross/Carvajal/Writz.

There's no first grade abi world class player in his prime who took a pay cut to join any club. Not even their boyhood club. None!!!

Oshinmehn and his agent messed up big time but no need to rewrite history!

airmark:
Egbon, you are obviously desperate to score a cheap point where none exists. Simply because your highly rated Jackson has started to cost us points with his cluelessness in front of goal and you know the impending .

Meanwhile, did you hit at Haaland when he managed only 1 goal in his first 4 Epl matches for City? Haaland later won the Epl golden boot, player of the season award, despite having a poor first 4 games.

Don't you think people should have learnt from Haaland's case and not jump into conclusion after the first 3/4 matches of a striker in a new club?

Baba, you are showing your hand too early o.

Looking at the emboldened, You've echoed this more than twice and I'm genuinely curious. May be there's something I'm missing.

This is Haaland's third season in the EPL (2024/2025)

This is what he did in his first season(2022/2023) in the EPL.

First game Vs Westham.................2 goals
Second game Vs Bournemouth....0 goal
Third game Vs Newcastle...............1 goal
Fourth game Vs Palace....................3 Goals

Total 6 goals. So in first 4 EPL games, Haaland scored 6 goals not 1.

I actually had to check the stats again but like I said may be there's something I'm missing!

Van Nisterooy is upset on the bench. But this is him right now. He knows what's coming!

At 1:0......three points!

slaawomirr:
Damnnn niggar

Don't say what you Don't know

With a good psychology, logic and intelligence you can win betting

Ensure you are not being emotional when picking games...

Go back to my messages
I told you all That psychologically Chelsea is wining this game...
Even if crystal Palace brings in Ronaldo and messi to play for them..they will still lose

Playing with semantics and jumping from pillar to post with paragraphs of essay after essay on why Chelsea must win. I've actually read three of your essays on this match thread and was just laughing through out lol.

I only pity punters because, imagine someone who actually followed your essay abi advice and put good money on this game.

Chelsea failed to win...run o o, I say run!!!

Leyqute:
Why is Palmer playing DM tori olorun?

At one point he dropped between the two CBs to receive the ball. May be that's the instructions or Chelsea midfielders are too mid to move the ball up to him.

Leyqute:
Nice way to get his first league goal of the season.

Yeah definitely!

Speed, height, good dribbler and can score. If he can sort his injuries and join a better team, he'll be remembered.

I like his style of play alot.

Isak 🐐

I like this guy eh!

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Removing Lewandowski tells you that Flick is a serious coach.
Good game all round.

I love❤ this version of Raphinha. Complete footballer. Defense, midfield, striker Raphinha dey everywhere.

Olmo is very skillful, his passing accuracy is top notch

Oyah take and fill in all the blank spaces!!!

Sergi Dominguez remember the name!

Raphinha 🐐

Ijustwantto:
Lamine, olmo, pedri and ferran all called up for Spain upcoming match. I wish them injury free. Only God knows the kind soap wey ferran use dey baff😔

Ferran still getting call ups?

Baddestguyp:
With our paper thin squad, we still can't afford to rotate and this might lead to our squad completely drained before January.


To fight Madrid's super team in the league, we also have to play to win every game.

How much more can this paper-thin squad take?

If we get one more injury in a major position, we are fûcked.

When you look at things, you realize that despite Madrid having a very shaky start to their league campaign, they are in a far better position than us.

Realmadrid are the European/Laliga champions and the rave of the moment and quite rightly so but they're not invincible. They could be beaten and will eventually be beaten just like every other team. They're the best but they also lack DEPTH.

Can you name a defender for Madrid other than Rudiger and Miltao? If Rudiger or Miltao is injured who plays? If Tuameni(DM) is injured today, who plays?

In the context of the UCL and this could be an unpopular opinion but when you look at Madrid, apart from may be Cavarjal, no Madrid defender will start at Arsenal. Unless they sign a centre back, they're one injury away from disaster. Point here is that, so far this season, thier defence is weak and ours is weaker.

Right now, thier attack is their biggest strength because Kroos is not there, Modric is old and Cama and Jude both out injured.

Yes, they're better than us, but light dey end of the tunnel!

This new format is screaming for one thing.... Squad depth!!!!

Resting key players will be fatal. Normally, by matchday 4 or 5, you have fringe players playing because you may have already qualified. Now, your match day 4 could be an away game Vs Dortmund, Citeh, Arsenal depending on your pot with everything at stake. It was so in the previous format but it's a bit tricky this time.

Omoh, we need players o o o.

This is pure competition alas survival of the fittest. Citeh will wipe people wetin no good sha

I'm happy that the R16 knockout format was kept intact and the fact that once you're eliminated, no Europa for you.

Superleague lite but I love it!

ChristoBam:
Ten Hag can literally set up that Madrid team like he set up Man Utd in his first season and win everything. That's facts.

Facts?

Fact= a thing that is known or proved to be true.

No evidence suggests that Ten Hang can literally set up that Madrid team like he set up Man Utd in his first season and win everything.

It could be True/False. As such, the aforementioned is just an assumption that could happen or not happen it's definitely not a fact!

jpmoriarti:
If he leaves today, Barca can sign like 4 players with the space he will create in FFP. This is crazy. With Bernal's injury, this hurts so much more as a Barca fan. Quite unbelievable how we got to this situation with this Dutch man.

That's the price you pay when you outbid an oil club. When he was at Ajax, PSG offered FDJ a lucrative contract, FDJ stalled the contract, Barca(Bartomeo) offered more transfer fee and doubled his salary then he joined. That's why I always laugh when I hear him talk about how he "Love The Club". I'm not against him getting his pay, na him money but the love the club gimmick will always be hilarious everything considered.

How many managers now yet nothing to show. Like those before him, he'll run down his contract and leave for free in 2026.

This is on Bartomeu 100%!

Kilishihunter:
Lots of Liverpool fans don't want bajectic to come here, almost all from the ones I've seen, I could literally feel their venom while reading their cs

Baba the wailing on twitter and Reddit no be here. I'll check Liverpool thread whether them don wail reach there too.

I mean kid is 19, won't play for them and was already heading out until Bernal injured then Thiago talked him into the move according to reports

I think their fear is that if he comes here and perform well, his head will be turned and he'll want to join permanently.

If he comes, I'll support him as always but too many kids, not a fan! 🤔

Ijustwantto:
I don't really get your point.
Are u trying to say dat the current Manchester city na small club or watin?

Nope, definitely not lol. I think he's basically talking about the weather. The weather and the general surroundings in Spain especially Catalonia is better than Manchester UK. Talking from experience!

Gucciboy:
Barca are going for bajcetic on loan from Liverpool

Was good last time I saw him but he's been injured for sometime now or so.

Flick is who I trust. If he feels the kid can do a job, why not...
