gonna be hard finding a replacement to fernandinho :whew:


Nice channel.

Watched the video on canceling Pogba (Man United vs PSG) - why aren't more teams marking him tightly like that especially when it impacts the offense to that degree?
Looking back at the recent match, Chelsea could've benefited from deploying a similar strategy.

Sarri is stubborn as hell, and married to a footballing philosophy that hasnt won him any silverware at any level.

Tuchel gave him the blueprint 5 days before and he didn't use it.

Yeah City need to go hard for Ndombele. I heard they put a 70m bid in last summer and Lyon said no, so I think a 80-100m bid is what it will take.

If we don't get him then we shouldn't go for anyone else, instead get Douglas Luiz a work permit and see what he can do.

Y'all remember that time where Pep got rid of all the black players? Now Barca have switched it up.

Always bet on black brehs :wow: the future is black.

You can't prove that! Purely coincidental that those players were black.

And a prime Rivaldo :hhh:
... My original goat. I wanted the white Mizunos because of him

In hindsight the Barca team of 1999 was crazy

Figo... Rivaldo... Kluivert... The De Boer brothers... Cocu... Guardiola as captain

:ohhh:

Haha, they were cold.

Still got the 1999 century Barca kit somewhere. GOAT Barca kit imo.

Exactly man. An all black France 2020 isn't a far possibility 4-3-3

GK
RB - Umtiti/Varane - Kimpembe - Mendy
N'Dombele - Kante - Pogba
Dembele - Mbappe - Martial/Coman

There's still all of next season to see how things play out. RB and GK might the positions where Deschamps could sneak in Pavard and Lloris. Sidibe should have been a lock at RB but Monaco been messing up.
yup, this is was basically my ideal xl for the world cub including N'Dembele

I ain't gonna lie though, I want to see Auaor play with this squad

What do yall think of Laporte is he good enough to get in the 11?

Right now Laporte >>> Varane. Easily

Laporte is insane. Some of his mid and long range passes are incredible.

And Laporte has had a few games at LB this season, much improved on last season, looks better equipped for that role that Lucas Hernandez. Deschamps just doesn't like him, no way Sakho and Rami deserve a call over him.

Seems like him and Fernandinho are the glue this season
