You and google or AI dey hold grudges like ADC and APC?

Ronaldo has multiple CL no world cup
Rudiger has multiple CL no world cup
Silva does not have multiple CL, does not have a world cup

You can win back to 3peat UCL but Pep's Barca will always be used as the yardstick to measure greatness

Mbappe off the ball is minus one and useless. Like messi like vinicius. They don't contribute anything defensively to the team they play for. They are just there strolling like stray chickens looking for food.

I think that was Alonso instruction to them ..



From what I saw yday even the midfielder stop pressing the opp of the opp player is already past the midfield region leaving the defenders to the remaining job .. .. there were times I was yelling at some Madrid player and almost asking myself why some of the players would leave another player to the pressing after getting past them like they just relax and hang around .

Must've been Alonso instruction .

He actually does make pertinent points. We seem to be constantly looking at what opponents can do to PSG, whilst simultaneously ignoring what PSG CAN do to opponents. It's not total analysis.

How many CLs and World cups did Nedved win before becoming the best player in the world at a time?

Caicedo in training

But no Lavia

We need to do away with lavia quickly

Nedved was never best player in the world. Nedved plays for a weak Nation Czech

Thiago Silva plays for the best country in world football

Yet he is having the type of records someone playing for Albania will have

I wonder why pep Barca is always the yardstick

Fabian Ruiz is underrated. That guy is world class and never gets mentioned among the greats

He never presses. Forget alonso. That has always been his style off the ball.

Balon dor was best player in Europe

FIFA WPOTY was the best player in the world

Don't know how true, I read Sanchez also didn't train with the GKs

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

By the way, there's no doubt that Musiala's absence affected Bayern's man-to-man pressing. Gnabry was completely useless in reproducing that same intensity when he came on. Goretzka was the same.

Usually, in counter-pressing effectively, every player has to be equally committed and focused. One lazy player can disrupt it. That's why Enrique wanted Mbappé out of the team.

CFC fans, do you have players who aren't committed to pressing intensely? What if you start well but lose the intensity by the 2nd half? How would CFC react if they conceded first? Bayern had to push forward even with PSGs red card because they were down 1-0. That's why Dembele's goal was inevitable.

Its lazy to just blame Kompany or to ignore each stage of the game. Dembele is another dynamic player who is excellent at 1 v 1s and has recently improved his decision making. You can strategize against a team but many times, dynamic players will have other ideas. Something to consider.

Lavia is usel***** to this team (Stop_Start) Without him, there's often a lack of midfield balance in big games (Tactical imbalance) Such a waste of talent!

Maresca needs to borrow some sense and start actual midfielders who can do the dirty work against PSG. He should leave out the ghost worker until we need him to freshen things up a bit.

Ireti… whether by fluke or by talent, you’ve gotten us to the final, so whatever you do, just don’t embarrass us by losing Ph00lishly.

well maybe because he has been average or a bit above average for much of his career or because people are focusing more on the short portuguese duo in PSG midfield

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

Kudus and Gibbs White. Spurs are looking good for next season.

Meanwhile, don't see Forest repeating their top 7 finish next season.

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

in addition to kudus and a better manager, they would at least do better than united next season

drisham:

That means he settled for less

His next move should have been to an A grade team

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

Psg will harm us from the wing

I doubt we can cope with Kvara/hakimi press

Mendez doue press

Plus Sanchez will be pressed by dembele


If we manage to survive the first half

We might stand a chance

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

So, Nedved was best player in Europe without the Ucl. When was your kponkpon defender the best player in Europe?

‼️ 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.

Realtord43:
What do you think is PSG weakness a team can capitalize on

Your focus should be on your team's weaknesses compared to theirs not just looking at theirs.

I don't recall seeing them score a freekick or from a corner kick but you have Reece James who can score those, and you have tall players like Tosin who are aerial threats during corner kicks. Tbh, those are your best 2 options to score them.

You can also try to limit their wing play by being compact & asking Neto/Palmer to double up with Cucu/Reece but that will neutralize your team's own wing play.

Let's compare the squads;

1. GK, PSG >> CFC
2. Defense, PSG >> CFC
3. Midfield, PSG > CFC
4. Attack, PSG > CFC

You don't have to agree. Just unbiasedly compare the individuals you know would start and ask yourself how they compare. PSG will come out on top overall. They will dominate possession and create overloads using Mendes/Hakimi constantly & both players are better than Cucu/Reece. Better than doesn't mean Cucu/Reece are not good by the way.

Remember, you don't have to agree. Just pretend you're not a CFC fan for a second and do this comparative analysis.

Your weakest point is your defense especially your CB pairing. Your team has faced giants like LAFC, El Tunis, Flamengo, Benfica, Fluminense and Palmerias. Did all of those teams breach your defense? Did they get to dangerous positions? What will a better team like PSG do with those type of chances?

My prediction: PSG will beat CFC 3-0 or 3-1.

Remember, it's a prediction. I'm not saying this will DEFINITELY happen. Other people can also predict that Palmer will dribble everybody on the pitch and score and you win 1-0 or that JP will hit a pile driver from half way and you win 1-0. I no sabi do that kain analysis.
