Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

[TobiOT]

Oh well. It's the first game. Just need to beat the fodder and try to beat Sociedad at their ground to win the group.

More pissed that the Premier League games are postponed, and apparently it might be the case for next week as well.


Then it's international break.

 

[nyknick]

mls status?

He would get murdered in MLS, he has no legs under him at all. Man can't stay on his feet against a La Liga team, would get broken in half in the MLS

If it does happen, 99% chance it’s against City

Where's @Ill-Yaz? Are you OK, fella?

I'm mad Liverpool caved in. Should've completely ignored her death.

Casemiero a shade too slow and Ronaldo a shade too slow

but i have been saying it. we need a fast MF who can carry the ball and control/short pass as a minimum in MF in addition to casemiro.
casemiro does not help us with our midfield control problem.

have a look at the pool vs. madrid final last year.

look at home many times casemiro lost the ball or miscontrolled it



i spotted at least.

1:01 bad pass
1:05 bad pass
1:13 bad pass
1:33 bad pass
1:37 lost to mane
1:43 lost to trent
1:56 bad pass
1:59 - they cut it but was a bad pass
2:15 lost to trent
2:46 bad pass
3”03 miscontrol

from the athletic casemiro ONLY succeeded with 37/51 passes in the final i.e. ~72% completion rate.
72% and his limited passing otherwise is not enough.
people will wake up to that and call him a bad player.
he is not a bad player but he needs a modric/kroos (but faster)/kante type next to him.
head up, foot on ball type.
