HAPPY NEW YEAR

Isco is like Pogba, with the right coach he is damn exceptional. However, what exactly will he even contribute to Barcelona's midfield?

unproductive Isco is like pogba.. Choi, barkabot

before you start typing like your brain is malfunctioning, prior to OGS' appointment, how many goals or assists or appearances had Pogba made in EPL?

mumu Isco has been playing under attacking coaches, how many goals and assists does he have. Let's not even forget pogba plays deeper sometimes while Isco is closer to goal.

Pogba rarely plays deeper, only Deschamps forced him to play deeper when they wanted to hit teams on the counter with Pogba's passing range and Mbappe's pace. Isco's balling is more intricate... Now I think of it, I'd prefer Pogba to Isco

Pogba played deep under Mourinho in some matches man..

Mourinho isn't a risktaker, the match Man U beat liverpool last season, McTominay and Matic plus the four defenders made it look Man U had 6 defenders. Pogba is a free spirit, just send him on the pitch let him do his thing, during the world cup, France's midfield were Kante, Matuidi and Pogba two resilient markers with Pogba but the coach grilled him to be more disciplined for France. Isco thrives too when you just free him, let him do his thing.
Pogba is very talented, but under Mourinho, the coach expected certain things of him that Pogba didn't want to offer

Any news on Rabiot?
I hope he ends up Manchester United, we need him more.

Isco over pogba any day, my opinion tho

They are holding talks. And I think FDJ's transfer might be hastened to happen this January.

The game of the season

City V Liverpool



Am excited.

Motherfückers in the barbershop.

Saying Pep Guardiola ain't about this,Pep Guardiola ain't about that.

Shut the fück up.

Thank you Santi Carzola and Samuel Chukwueze

It seems like it is real madrid themselves who will win the league for us this term.

with ajax in the ucl, don't see that happening.

everton offering $35m for Malcom, given that he hasn't been given much game time, should he be sold or sent in loan instead? share your thoughts cules

I don't see us selling.

Munir has already agreed a deal with sevilla and I'm yet to read any concrete attempt to sign a striker. It is looking more likely that messi would be moved to the f9 role.

Even if it doesn't play out this way, i see messi getting a less physically demanding role as from next season a la ronaldo at Madrid and juve. And with valverde's contract running out in the summer, i seriously see messi's role changing next season under a new manager.

Either ways, this leaves us with three wingers (dembele, coutinho and malcom), no way we are selling malcom.

Looks like we are neither getting de ligt or de jong


The board is most likely getting rabiot.

This is very sad

We're still getting de jong. Abidal already said the signing of Rabiot won't hinder de jong's pursuit. Rakitic, rafinha and most likely Denis are all leaving in the summer. Lots of space will free up.
Deligt's deal already fell through couple of weeks ago, it was only right we went for todibo

Adrien rabiot a done deal , to join in the summer on a five year deal

Coutinho is what?

IKON360:

Coutinho is what?

Oga coutinho has been playing as a winger for the better part of this season

this season ok, even though he has never been a line hugging pure winger like Malcolm or Dembele...

Line huggers are a rarity in modern day football. Modern coaches are gradually embracing the idea of inside forwards. Moreover, a false9 + a line hugger is disaster in waiting. The false 9 formation requires an inside forward to always drive in when the false striker joins the midfield.

For all the talk of dembele being a line hugger, he is gradually metamorphosing into an inside forward, especially when he plays on the left. This is because, in barca, fullbacks, not wingers are mandated with keeping width, and alba does this excellently so dembele is usually forced to play an inside role. On the right however, semedo's attacking is still suspect so once in a while, dembele hugs the line.
