Costa - Romero?? Costa - Vettori?

He lost to Vettori after badly missing weight and should have lost the decision to Yoel (Yoel took rounds 2 and 3).

I’m a fan, because he’s the closest thing to a modern Vitor, but he’s a choker and a weight bully

Question. Does PSG failures really come down to the fact that it has no real organic feel to it.

The last actual true project and identity they had was with Blanc. I could say Emery had an identity but the remontada will always be what people will think of his stint though the 4-0 was a beautiful display of football.

But their main issue is two fold IMO : the owners have too much say in the project and don't let coaches be and build ; and the owners want psg to be a brand as much as a footy club.

First point means that they bring and shield players that a coach might not need or have asked (the Aurier/Blanc issue, Messi or Ramos were not asked by Poch, Ney was not asked by Emery)

Second means that their marquee signings bring hella revenue but are nonsensical from a footy POV (why signing Cavani AND Ibra ? why bring Ramos instead of re signing Silva ? Why bring Messi when Kylian and Ney don't press much already and they already have Icardi)

All in all, it looks like PSG is a shiny car made by the owners and they choose a coach to drive it to the CL.

they will eventually win it as long as they have that paper..but its time to start a new cycle..the core of the team is done mentally. neymar has flopped messi is too old not the same. verrati got destroyed by a 36 year old, the backline has no REAL world class defender and their most promising player is most likely leaving for madrid lol.......its over

"Leeds are falling apart again"

Hiring Jesse Marsch at Leeds was just as much of a mistake as hiring Lampard at Everton. You're in a relegation scrap. Get someone who can organize a defense and grind out points. Marsch and Lampard are the next hire that you should make after you pay your relegation-battle specialist to try and keep you up short-term.

Atalanta blacked out in there lol stupid goal.

 

[Peak]

Leeds have defended 1v1 for so long they've forgotten how to defend as a unit.

Galatasaray breh should've held his run. He was clear smh

Leeds are a terrible side

been saying it since year one where they looked relatively competent they needed some premier league players..only so much raphinha can do (who is coming to liverpool btw)

 

[Yehuda]

Ehh Leverkusen had their chance, Diaby and Paulinho improved things a bit.

 

[Gilver]
