Barcelona completely flizzled out today, don't understand how people compare Dembélé to Mbappé.

hazard's a winger, though.
Fam... I'm a fan of Hazard, and had to look up the numbers just to confirm... shyt is ugly :huhldup:

Compared to his peers from the PL; Salah, Sterling, Mane and Son have 21, 18, 16, and 15 goals respectively in the UCL.

In the PL league, Sterling is coming into this season having scored 17, and 18 goals the last two seasons. Hazard has never scored more than 16.:francis:

...still a fan :hamster:

We have people on this site who claim that Dembele is better than mbappe :mjlol:


It's crazy to think that at one point Dembele, Mbappe, Martial and Coman were all around the same level and tipped to be the next great things for France when they hit the scene.

Mbappe has proven himself and still has a very high ceiling. Coman is on the right team and has the an impressive trophy haul, but I just feel he hasn't quite "broken" out and cemented himself.

Dembele had an amazing season with Dortmund but has been up and down at Barca since. Martial had a good debut season at United but since then he's been either inconsistent or frozen out of regular first 11 football.

Dembele can still turn it around if he changes team and his attitude. He has it all but does he have the mentality ? Martial just been caught up with managers who never really rated him

Wow. What a match :wow:
Lampard is the fukking man. (Ref was trash tho)

Bayern or Barca need to get that Ajax coach ASAP

Yeah, those Jorginho penalties are trash, goalie just has to go the right way and it's a wrap.

9 man Ajax wanted all the smoke. They'll beat 11 man United and Arsenal

Coman keeps on getting knee injuries just when he finds a good run of form.

Dembele needs to take 2 steps back and play for a non Elite level club. He needs to play football week in week out and given responsibility, which he'll never get at Barca.

Martial wants to play as the striker, he hasn't been given the regular opportunities to do so.


This convo comes up at least once a decade in French football. :ld:

Last one was Nasri, Benz, Ben Arfa

Not going to lie I would love if Arsene got the job.

Would help him rejuvenate his somewhat tainted legacy in his latter years.
Perfect job for him to win a couple titles and bow out of the game on a high.
Only problem is if he gets the job instead of Jose, we are still going to have that nonsense about him getting the Arsenal job circulating:francis:
