Just the C dot rising like a Salmon header final.

They must be thinking about the Super Cup in Germany when Dortmund gave them the business in b2b years and they lost on pens in the third year to someone else.
Pep says the Charity Shield is a real trophy so it’s only right we count them Ls :ehh:

Man U leading the race for Koulibaly

That defence gonna be rock solid :whoo:

If Pogba stays and hits that early OGS form.... Fernandes and Rashford

Man U might be a problem. They need to give that machine to Poch
Apparently we're in for Sancho as well...adding him, Koulibaly & Grealish would make us title contenders. 21 on deck!:mjlit:

I'll be surprised if we get one of them and it'll take 3 months to sign one :mjlol:
We're getting the Longstaff brothers and Declan Rice :unimpressed:

What side does Koulibaly play? Slabhead so far on his career I've only seen play on the left.

Probably the same. He played on the left everyime Liverpool played Napoli in CL. But he is right footed.. Not sure that would be too much of a problem

Its the level of comfort, especially if you are the dominant defender use to playing on a particular side. The positioning angles they are use to taking, some defenders preferred to show the attackers on to their weaker foot. Also when one defender is designated to attack the ball and the other one drops back as the cover, makes a difference if you have to do a different role on a foreign side of the pitch.

John Terry was more comfortable playing the left side even tho he was right footed and when he had to play right, he would find himself out of position.

There are so many different intricacies and nuances than him just being right footed he'll be alright.
