I think we are all just being bitter, and playing the blame game.

We lost to City, Pep's City arguably the best team ever in PL and we are throwing tantrums like spoilt brats.

Cool down, if that final was so important, Man Utd and Chelsea should be crying more.

Besides do we deserve the cup more than City? City invested more so they deserved it.
Hmm Spy360 the same Pep that was overrated and you swore will not win anything in England abi eruditor no dey see?

Its all about the take-ons.
He has only one goal against the top 6 teams that was even a penalty. He ll disappear for 5 to 10 games, no goals, like 2 assists, 90,000 take-ons and then score brace against number 20 on the table and then disappear again....but his loyal fans go still dey call am best in the league and better than Neymar.
Shior!!
The Hidden Defence Force are coming for you

meanwhile this was what Conte said about his removal of Hidden

Conte's substitution of Hazard drew widespread criticism, but after the match the Chelsea head coach insisted he replaced the tiring Belgian in an attempt to preserve the "balance" of his team.

"It was a tactical decision," Conte said when asked if Hazard was injured. "We have to keep the same performance for 90 minutes. Otherwise we don't have a great balance. Every single player has to work with the ball, without the ball, otherwise we lose our balance and the game.

"I think he finished his energy. In the first half he ran a lot. In the second half he started the same way but when I see a player is a bit tired, my task is to find a different solution."
Does this mean Hidden was not able to keep his performance for 90mins or Hidden was unwilling to work without the ball

Since Costa started playing for Atletico back in January, Antoine Griezman has scored 10 league goals In 2 months
Yet Simeone is still a defensive coach
Those are the people who know how to benefit from a striker like Costa not those that will be dancing one corner

is there another thauvin, or is the newcastle flop you're talking about?
A40:
De Bruyne and Lukaku were once Chelsea flops. Salah too
I havent seen this Thauvin guy play though I know say he flop for Newcastle but that should not stop us from getting him if he has shown that he has improved. Ribery sef at the beginning of his career went to Galatasaray didnt have a good spell, back to Marseille shined before coming to Bayern

Thauvin might be on a similar trajectory

There are some articles out there hailing him as improved.

https://www.si.com/soccer/2018/02/15/bayern-munich-target-marseilles-florian-thauvin-replace-ageing-wingers-robben-ribery

Also this Thauvin guy if he is good enough is of the right age. Malcolm is 21, Coman is 21. Baley is 21, Pulisic is 20, I am not a fan of having two 21yr olds running the wings for Bayern

A40 of the 3 Fekir Malcolm and Thauvin which is the real winger not just an AM fitting on the wings. Someone with lightening pace and good decision making

As an attacking player you either score a lot or assist a lot you need to do either or both like Messi

I think the game has evolved beyond having two speed stars on the flanks. Madrid regularly used Isco on the left last year so I think James can feature there too, I don't think a suboptimal Robben on the left would help us.

For me the problem lies centrally. If Javi is the de-facto DM who then starts at CM between Thiago and Vidal? Thiago is a midfield controller and it would be unwise to leave him off as we go into the latter stages, at the same time we need Vidal's aggression. Maybe it would boil down to who we are facing but I don't envy Jupp at all
Every top side still have pacey wingers as their first choice, Pace is still important in attack if you are not pacey enough you get sent to midfield

City has Sane and Sterling, Madrid have CR7 and Bale, PSG has Neymar and Mbappe Liverpool is burning everyone with Sallah and Mane

Madrid went 4-4-2 because Bale wasnt fit, right now Isco isnt playing again and James was so benched and thrown out

Personally I must start Martinez and Vidal. Na Thiago and James go fight for the last slot. I prefer the solidity that Vidal and Martinez provides first and not for Thiago to be escorting players in the field.

Martinez---Vidal
--James/Thiago
Muller--Robben
------Lewy

Klopp and Mourinho are currently separated by 2 points and Klopp has been in better form in recent times. They can be neck to neck and based on preference

Guardiola is so far ahead, Mourinho is marginally ahead of the rest

if not for your hateful nature why place Klopp ahead of mou?
So have you agreed on why Sterling should be ahead of Alexis and Mahrez, why Mendy doesnt have a place in the starting lineup and why Bailly should sit for Otamendi

Also why Pep should deservedly be the Manager of the team over Mourinho?

Maybe its my anti English bias thats why I hate Mou the Englishman

In 2009 Pep would have been the manager of the season in UEFA and the best SAF would have been in 2009 would be the assistant

Mind you I not making a case for who won more in England. Mou is the most successful manager in the World now. no manager still Managing has won more trophies than him. Wenger is not more successful than mourinho for example. but mou is more successful than pep, Klopp Conte and poch for example, which bellies his reputation. Hence can never be an assistant to anyone still Managing never mind pep or hilariously Klopp as you stated initially. As even this season Mou has performed better than Klopp in all competitions. If SAF has still been coaching, then Mou can be his assistant not to his subordinates.
If in 2009 that Barca won the treble who would have been the coach of the year to coach UEFA team of the season Pep who just won his first or SAF?

I dont understand why this is so hard. Its called team of the SEASON that means the best people for this season not for their entire career
Sterling this season has been better than Mahrez or Sanchez and rightfully will be picked

Okay lets make this simple, there are PFA awards coming in a few weeks Should we wager on who would be picked for the team? If Sterling makes it you give me $1k, If Sanchez or Mahrez makes it I give you $1k

If there is a manager of the season award in the PFA Guardiola wins you give me $1k Mou wins it I give you $1k

2. As at may 2017 would Zidane be the manager of your team while Pep is the assistant.

3. should we do away with the reputation of heynkes, since Klopp waz on top of henckyes in 2012 and make Klopp the manager and heynckes the assistant?

4. so after last season Conte should immediately be turbaned the manager while PEP is his assistant?

john fashanu couldnt make nigeria squad yet he ran to england
costa playing for spain instead of brazil does that mean he cant bench fred or jesus huh
the bolded doesn't mean a player is better or not
deco couldnt make brazil team cos they were better than him even juninho paulista didnt get much playing time for brazil to show how good that squad was
Who said John Fashanu couldnt make Nigerian team? Players who have options will first choose the more prestigious nation before the other option. England was more prestigious than Nigeria and Brazil was more prestigious than Portugal or Croatia, Soon you will say Dele Alli cant Make Nigerian team was why he chose England

What is the point of this post? Is it to prove me wrong that Deco was good enough to make Brazil or that Eduardo was good enough to play for Brazil?

If you can't provide these things then please take a chill pill and argue something else
Was Bebeto not eligible for European golden boot and he never won, Which of the awards Larson was eligible for was Bebeto not?

bebeto playe in one of the best brazilian squad. my point is you can say an average brazilian is better than some european elite
btw if you call bebeto an average player what will you call benard, wanger love, fred etc
bebeto is average Brazilian player, Larson is elite Swedish player and I think Bebeto was even better. Some players who will never make Brazil team will be elite in many other countries

E.g Deco who couldnt make Brazil became a Portugues elite, Eduardo will never make Brazil and he is one of Croatias best players. If Bebeto switched to Sweden in 1985, he would have been Swedens best ever player

So the point is still that being average in Brazil is elite in Sweden, Being average in Germany is elite level for England

Littbarski in England would have been one of the best English players ever

Attack the illogical point and make your logical argument from it. Most of my points are very logical

You think picking a team of the year, Sanchez and Mahrez deserves it over Sterling who has almost as many goals as the 2 combined this season

You think Mendy who played less than 300minutes this season, You think that Bailly who has missed about 3months out of 7months deserves to make the team of the season

You think these positions are logical?
