Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Scriptures Prophesied the Messiah Plays 3-4-3

I really don't like this style of football. We don't have a good enough defense to play this style.

And they're already becoming to reliant on quick attacks. This team needs to get back to consistent build up play.

We are becoming a team that really doesn't know how to create goals from just basic build up possession play.

From the 3rd goal

Zidane had no business taking that job again. Probably didn't realize "cross the ball to Ronaldo" doesn't work when Ronaldo isn't in the team

This match wild, both teams going goal for goal

[Roberto Firmino]

PHAROAH!!! What an absolute legend.

Scored a pen and and another when the game was already over, still disappears against the big teams

firmino

Firmino the wizard

Salah got the goals but firmino

Only saw the first half had to listen to the second, commentator was waxing lyrical about him, think this is the season everybody realises what we been knowing for time that Bobby F Baby is truly world class and the most important cog of the big red machine

I take great pleasure in knowing you made that username when you still had hope of Firmino being a great player.

Christ almighty he's bad.

This never gets old

And to think there were years where all Arsenal needed was one player to seriously make a run at the title. Wenger never went and got that player. Whether it be a left back, defensive mid, striker or central defender. Arsenal was weak at either one of these positions at some point over the years....

Now City and Liverpool are strong so arsenal ain’t seeing a title anytime soon. Emery is not the one.

Wasted Ozil through passes on Giroud and em
If they had brought Suarez in from Liverpool, they'd have won the league

James Rodriguez the GOAT, back at the bernabeu

so far this year.

not going to dig out last year's.

But city play a perfect inside out game. Which is very balanced. And they have a Kyle Walker, who is actually exceptional.

The problem with this fullback as creator stuff. Is that the majority of Fullbacks simply aren't near the levels of Maicon(in his prime), Marcelo, Elves, Zabaleta(in his prime), Alba, Alaba, Alonso., or even a Micah Richards before the injuries.

Most Fullbacks are terrible when they have time on the ball.
