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

[mastermind]

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.

I think a young Cavani or Benz kills in this era. Firmino is basically a poor mans Benz, imo.

I think it’s dead because they aren’t being produced/talent isn’t there, not because it’s not needed.

I always forget Big Match Mandz.

Firmino is a SS/9 to me.

That classic no. 9 is a dying breed for the most part, you still got guys like Kane and Icardi holding it down.

Griezmann and Bobby are perfect SS.

Even Mbappe is more of a winger than pure striker.

Bring back our strikers

That was a handball but I got money on West Ham so let's get this money COYH

Fulham are definitely done in the league but that handball isn’t gonna sit well. Especially since it basically turned the tide against them.

 

[TobiOT]

Fulham are done bring in Norwich/Leeds or Sheffiled whatever

Cardiff after those 2 victories are brought back down to earth...Watford gave them that demonic work

All Tony Khan's fault anyway.

Milan doing big thangs.Piatek is looking like great business

getting rid of piguain was a masterstroke now chelsea got to deal with a declining striker

 

[Trajan]

Why do a lot of the younger English players have double barrelled names?

Alexander-Arnold
Smith-Rowe
Hudson-Adoi
Oxlade-Chamberlain
Loftus-Cheek


That shyt's a mouthful

They better pick one. Or do like the Brazilians and either use their first name or a nickname. By the time commentators get their name out the ball's halfway across the field

Piatek is looking like great business

Prolific

Done it at Genoa..doing it at AC
