When you see the werey coach and even some of our fans here defending a striker that can't shoot well in the box, you can't but shake head in disbelief.

Kimbeast:
What the hell has happened to Palmer. Zero goal in his last 15games for us. 1 goal in the last 16. Is it down to tactics or just out of form?

Debroslink:
La liga can lay claim to this too. If any La liga clubs make it to the final, they are winning it.

It’s the way you guys play

He will bounce back

Sportsweb:
Yes I agree but he needs to step up.

He is flopping so hard. Maybe one season wonder

🚨 “Can you achieve top five target if Nicolas and Cole don’t start scoring?”

Maresca : “No”

“Is it as simple as that?”

Maresca: “Yes”

Nateev, what do you think about this interview response?

Android17:
He's the same Cole Palmer. Your team just isn't getting enough PKs to pad his stats.

Don't forget you were the 2nd placed team this season. You needed the best player in the league to will you to the top like Foden did last season but instead you regressed to 6th.

Uncomfortable truths.

Please a quick question, where is the folden this season?

Inter are strong because they have the best tactician left.

Inzaghi knows what to do vs whoever you put in front of him. Whether to be ultra compact, to use setpieces, counter attacking, counter pressing, positional play, route 1 name it. Inzaghi has some trick to try.

Enrique's team has been the most fluid & unpredictable. Incredibly dynamic, pacy, intense. They remind me of City in 2021.

Flick has the best attack in world football at the moment and the most dynamic player in Lamine. Pedri is the best CM in the world.

Arsenal are very structured. Tactically discipline side with work horses everywhere, but they're not dynamic. They beat RM courtesy of 2 otherworldly freekicks & counter attacks at a desperate (and poor) RM.

I'm happy RM lost but you guys are being hyperbolic about Arsenal. It was Tuchel's poor Bayern that knocked them out last season when they were infinitely better than this season.

Time will tell.

Android17:
People are actually pretending like Liverpool did not make light work of this same RM (not through 2 free kicks when RM were trying to draw 0-0 going back to Bernabéu).

People are actually forgetting how good this Liverpool team has been all season. They are on course to have 90+ pts in the EPL. They got to the Carabao final.

The only reason they're not in the UCL SFs is because they played PSG. They'd have beat Aston Villa too.

nateevs:
For this specific response? He's right!

What's he to say? That Madueke or Sancho or Enzo will replace the goals if Nico and Cole don't score? The team is filled with notoriously profligate players.

You can create the tactics that make Madueke arrive in interesting positions, but you cannot make Madueke out-do himself, neither can you make Sancho out-score Palmer. It just didn't dey.

Bimmarlykay:
We're saying the same thing,am tryna make Airbere know that his assertion of Arsenal being the "most balanced" is just a textbook stuff. Those bookmarkers coined thier believe from the fact that Arsenal eliminated a formidable Madrid comfortably... which Madrid ain't this season.

Time always tell.😎

AirBere:
Chief, "most balanced' does not mean favourite. People are talking about Inter and PSG and quite rightly so but for me they all have a 25% chance of winning. The remaining 4 teams are very equally matched and there's no clear distinction between them. However, If at gun point I'm told to pick a favourite, I'll say Barca simply because they're the most experienced team left in terms of the number of UCL won compared to the remaining teams, their coach is good and they're playing really well like others.

You clearly didn't understand the "most balanced" post and I wasn't judging arsenal based on their performance against Madrid. It's just their pattern. They're not defensive like Inter neither are they ultra attacking like Barca. It's why I said they're the most balanced team left.

Final go be 50/50, semi final is 25% for all. No clear favourite.

Relax

What happened to ''we will find other solutions''?

Amorim drafted the slabhead upfront in recent matches to get a winning goal and it paid off yesterday.

Arteta faced the striker's challenge and drafted Merino upfront and he has bagged couple of goals and assists to boot.

This Maresca can't be using Chelsea to learn the trade, the stakes are too high.

AirBere:
Same with Laliga teams. There's a reason why both will have 5 representatives next season in the UCL. Two apex league.

Leave conference league. If Betis are able to overcome Florentina, I don't see Maresca getting the better of Pellegrini
