I wanna see them run a 4-2-3-1
GK- Lloris
FB/CB - Sidibe, Varane, Umtiti, Mendy
CDM - Kante, Matuidi
LW/CM/RW - Griezman, Pogba, Mbappe
CF - Benzema

They won the World Cup with 4231/433 hybrid.

Benz is done and they got better results without him anyway. And Matuidi is a squad player, he's 33 by the time the Euros come round. He'll be holding them back if he's starting game in game out

How is benzema done? He's been looking rejuvenated as of late, 10 goals in the league and Reals top scorer this season. Hes only 31. Or you mean done in the NT?

NT, he is done. But as a whole he's declining.13th full season as a proper first team player and 15th overall. + Doing C dots donkey work for all of those years. You think he still fresh as a summer daisy?

And out of those 10 goals in the league, how many of them vs Barca, Atletico, Valencia, Sevilla? You can have his 1 goal in the Uefa Super Cup.

Cavani, Lewandowski, Benz, Suarez all of them are declining. All 4 work horses, but theyre all showing the mileage.

That's goddamn etherous. And they need to retool the squad as its :flabbynsick:. Legit they may not even make it to 6th in 19/20.

Got Jorginho for another season. :mjgrin:

Still means RLC and CHO won't get games :mjcry:.

Best bet is, they get it suspended for the summer window and the ban kicks in the whole of 2020.

As a whole. Realistically there should be some 23-26 year olds wrecking shyt. The Morata generation let Nas down and now we waiting for a baby in Mbappe.

Pistol Piatek :violent:

Milik cannot stay fit.
Jovic :ld:
Pepe a wing forward tho.
Alcacer.

Everyone else in the golden boot race is old as phuck or wing forwards.

We not including Harold, Icardi, Lukaku?

Do those players compare to Suarez, Aguero, Benz, Roberto Lewa?

Tammy, Mount, Tomori, Zouma, Kennedy should all be given a chance. Pasalic should be given an opportunity as well, decent enough player.

Need to cut the likes of Musonda, Piazon, Kalas, Brown, Baker, Hector, Omeruo and a couple of others, been at the club for so long and haven't been given a sniff and all being playing at lower levels, what's the point, they just aren't good enough.

Nah. But the game has changed since those man made their debuts. The classic complete CF position is dead. (Cavani, Benz, Falcao, Costa, Lewa, even Dzeko are a dying breed, while Suarez and Aguero are a combo #9/SS). This new generation are either poachers or wing forwards.

Griezmann is the closest thing we have to a classic old school 2nd Striker.
