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

man, it's crazy how one full back can change how a team completely plays

Nuno Mendes is such a huge asset for psg, they play out from the back so smooth again

Bro, I asked a simple question. Who should Nelson get a run of games over? I am not even arguing. Just curious to see your perspective.

As far as tonight’s game, I can’t see who he should have played over.

The subs
Vieira - has been out for months with injury. He needs the minutes to get up to match fitness before the fixture congestion.

Jesus - See above. Major player for the team.

Partey - See above.

Cedric - He is a bum. But he plays a totally different position than Nelson. I would think it is more important to rest White than to get Nelson minutes in this case.

Trossard - could make an argument here I suppose.

What? There was like a solid run of games where Troussard had more assists than anyone in the PL last season. He can play anywhere effectively in the front three

FOH with that nonsense and I like Nelson. If anything he should prob go out on loan

He’s saying yesterday. There was no reason to risk Trossard in that game. ESR and Reiss should have gotten minutes but I’m not sure why they aren’t

OK That's a fair argument. The ESR stuff is infuriating, kid looked like the next big thing and now can't even get burn at the club. We're not doing right by him by just letting him get cobwebs on the bench. Me and my friend just think Arteta doesn't want him there or something

I don’t watch Bayern but can someone explain to me how Eric fukking Dier is there and is starting? Also why is Davies, Kim, Gnabry on the bench? I can understand Gnabry I guess behind Musiala and Sane

Dier is fukking garbage but it's injuries and somehow it turns out Dier and De Ligt are Bayerns best CB partnership. Kim appears to be a Korean fridge

You missed my point bro. Not saying Nelson is the better player or deserves to play over Trossard.

The post I was responding was asking why Nelson didn’t get a run in a game when we were 6-0 up. My response was that Nelson didn’t deserve to play ahead of any of the subs. But IF you wanted to make the argument that he should have played ahead of Trossard in a game that was over and to avoid any injury to the more important player, then I could see the point.

I think Mikel played the right subs. More important for Trossard to stay match fit versus giving Nelson some minutes.

Who should he play ahead of?

I like ESR too but I don’t think the argument that Mikel has a personal issue with him is valid at all.

ESR has been injured and when fit he is competing with Martinelli and Trossard on the left and with Havertz, Rice (when Jorginho plays in the 6), and Trossard for the left 8 position.

He doesn’t bench any of them at the moment on current form.

I mean in a game like that yesterday??? You put him out there. We've had a few games like that now where he should get burn. Any of your guys like that should get burn when were just cooking people
