Sane had a terrible game the last time i saw him for Germany, he must be on a shorter leash. NT coaches like working with a team over just the best players, it fukked teams like Brazil, England, Italy and Netherlands in the past. Some players work in that set up and others don't, Argentina is the best example you can look at their options and think they wouldn't struggle but the type of football that good players like Aguero, Dybala, Higuain produce at that level is just :scust: to the extent that Higuain ends up being first choice.

Liverpool definitely needed to upgrade the midfield, they could bypass it because of a lethal front 3 but if a team shut that down they got nothing from midfield. It makes sense to upgrade the unit to establish more control and rely less on pressing. Most pressing teams eventualy wear out both on the pitch as time goes on and you need to rest on possession and over seasons. Ancelotti described how Milan's players ended up tiring of Sacchi's pressing tactics

The bruv is like 35, truth he scores the occasional wonder goal, but he’s been a flat track bully for years now




Stop right there, Gerrard’s a once in a lifetime player and we’ll never see someone like him again. Now onto the present..that man Klopp know’s what he’s doing

:leostare:
u mean in terms of loyalty right and not actual play on the pitch? :partice:

:laff: Bielsa in talks to become Leeds Coach :laff:

Sounds like the match made in heaven, the man who never stays anywhere too long with the club who never keeps anyone for too long.
