Liverpool and Bayern are poor examples.

Why? While Bayern win the Bundesliga almost every season, like Barcelona do, Bayern last won the Champions League in 2013.

How about Liverpool? Liverpool don't even win the Premiership every season.

That's my point.

I had never seen a Liverpool side this with this much blend of skill, athleticism and physicality before this Jurgen Klop' s Liverpool.

Even Bayern; they have got quite a lot of athletic players.

Sure I know Bayern hadn't won in Europe since 2013. But who's been winning?

Real Madrid!

Did the Real Madrid side of 2014 to 2018 not have a lot of physical and athletic players to blend with the highly technical ones?

Ramos? Varane? Casemiro? Cavajal? Kroos?


But lemme get you right I think am missing your argument;

Are you saying that attributes of athleticism and physicality play no advantages to teams in today's game?

GrammarNazi1:
Is it about that now?

Wow!

What do you think?

Seriously the most successful teams in the world nowadays mix skill, athleticism and physicality.
See Liverpool, See Bayern.

If you carry only skill come na sorry be your name.

These people are not even up to 50.

Say "some people"

Not "youths"

They play good football, they press well and physically they're stronger than us.
"They're a top team.
"I think we played well, but we lost the ball a lot in the second half, so it's difficult to get into a rhythm in the game.


Koeman's words above.

Bolded is real.
That was one of our problems against Bayern and Liverpool.

A lot of people might not agree with me; but even if we have all the most skilful players in the world, we would struggle against teams equally technical but much physical and stronger.

Correct your English before you make fun of Ize Iyanmu.
It is thorough beating not thorough beaten.

EastGold:
After giving himself thorough beaten

IKON360:
Sell him off to where? Or who?

There would be interests.
Just like Man U are, now.

I want Dembele to be given another chance.

But if he gets injured again, sell him off at Christmas.

What's the point having a Lionel Messi who can't play 20 games in a 60 game season?.

Sommyroy10:
The right flank should be sorted out. All teams need to do is to block our left flank, that's all. We need a 9, ffs De Jong cannot be topping for us Na. The funny thing, De Jong plays in his favourite position and he has underperformed so far. Messi Na this kind game/situation you suppose scream, you might have gotten the penalty.


I don't know if this is enough for Araujo to steal a spot, seeing Lenglet would be available next game. Men, those rough play at the back, should better be reduced, Ah Neto almost mess up sha. We improved second half, but Sevilla was ok with the point, and we too, not until the 91st minute we knew we were actually level.

Trincao didn't dribble past that RB once, his Oga Griezmann misses clear cut chances like he is sure more would come. Also Busquets and Roberto seem to only find Messi, I'm sure if Busquets because there is a passing map for our previous games and like 85+% of his passes are always to Messi. Dest please bench Roberto, relegate him to only Copa matches for now, same with Pjanic


Looks like we would need a striker and left back, Eric Garcia can wait. Both LB injured.

This draw pain me sha but if you see scores today

Sevilla looking like basketballers and wrestlers.

He better get it right before the coach loses faith and relegates him.

Griezman is no longer played out of position.

I wish him the best mehn.

This is the test!

Na this kain tin Mourinho de like.

joviegghead:
Pjanic over Puig

well, your choice

For defensive stability.

barackodam:
Dembouz won't start

Don't think we are talking strictly about tonight's game.

We're looking at our ideal first eleven.

cumz:
I really don’t understand why griezmsn is ahead of Dembele in that right wing...
Dembele started the first preseason game and he played so well... he hasn’t bn given a chance this season


Just imagine Dembele and Fati at both wings running at defenders
Making mad runs

Arrrghhhhhh ��

Well I think that Koeman is taking a lot of time with Dembele(based on his injuries.)

I am sure that Koeman considers him a first eleven player.

joviegghead:
Imagine this line up:

Neto

Alba, Pique, Araujo, Dest

Puig and Frenkie De Jong

Coutinho

Dembele, Messi, Fati


Suggest a better line up

Dest Pique Araujo Alba

Pjanic De Jong

Coutinho

Dembele Messi Fati

This would be a very interesting line up.

ohma456:
Dembele against juventus when he sees Arthur trying to take the ball from him and Pjanic asking him to pass the ball

Has he been hibernating?

Athletico doing bad mehn.

Suarez struggling.

The Supreme Court Governor survives.

Today it is victory for democracy. The judges are courageous.

Wailers and ipobs ehn.

It's now a humble and good feat because he's a PDP governor.

But if it's Oshiomole now they will say he is pretending.

No deaths as part of the celebrations.

tesppidd:

Na so 3 points take waka.

They look very good together.

See better chic wey i dey fain naim AJ no dey see!

A whole me!

joviegghead:
Why not take on a 4-1-4 set up. Remove Busquets and retain the attacking quadruple.

Ha. That would be too ambitious na.

calculator123:
CAn this defense stand constant pressure without cracking?

Lol

Is there any defence in the world that can stand constant pressure without cracking?

Second yellow looked harsh to me.

That red was destined to come.
