Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota

[Low End Derrick]

I’m a Chelsea fan but I have to say Bayern Munich are the strongest team in the champions league competition this season. They look absolutely formidable in all positions and I can’t see anyone stopping them.

Gladbach pulled their hoe card last week:

 

[MikelArteta]

Conte has them looking good

 

[Ukbrotha]

If Conte is going to have Dier as his first choice CB he's going nowhere.

 

[analog]

Same ol' Spurs

 

[MikelArteta]

In terms of players getting picked there's always politics involved. Coaches have alway been told who must be picked by NFF. Ahmed Musa in particular.

Musa I know about. There was clamour at one point in time that the Nigerian National team featured only southerners and no Hausa/Fulani were represented. Like this isn’t about competition and picking the best 11.

Musa did his thing for us no doubt but he can’t keep getting featured when he plays in a less competitive league (Saudi Arabia IIRC) and we have plenty of young promising wingers playing in stronger leagues eg Chukwueze, Simon (fwiw), etc.

More squad depth

This Leicester Spartak game is boring as fukk...goddamn

Spartak are not interested in doing anything...just sitting deep and Leicester have no idea how to break them down. I just came to see Patson Daka ball out in Moscow again

Roma losing to Bodoe/Glimt again, now at home

Racked up some loans in his time

We're building a pretty decent collection of players.
