Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - 'We will not be there.' - Pep Fraudiola

Was with you until the bolded. Even me, a United supporter has been banging the Osimhen drum for a minute. Well before the January window and even before this season.

Arsenal need a proper bagsman. Forget that link up play talk with Jesus and Kai, get you a penalty box predator.

Why has no big team made a move for Osimhen? Genuine question. I think he is a baller but there is probably a reason why none of the big teams who need strikers have made a serious move for him. We will see if that changes in the summer.

Everyone can see that Arsenal need a gun man in front of goal. Not many of them in world football and even less that are attainable. Hopefully that changes for Arsenal this summer.

This the Partey issue?

Yep, but I don’t like that stuff. Until mans been charged he should be allowed to play ball.

L'OM with a calamatious performance today.... that red card on Cornelius was lame..... shyt fell apart after that....

OM have really really bad discipline issues. Also, Auxerre did em in earlier in the season. OM is locked in for UCL but this season could have been so much more, especially in the cup.

I rate Salah and I think the convo on him is going to be a little skewed because people will look at the numbers and say that's the PL goat when he's done. I always felt Mane had the performances while Salah had the numbers when they were together. I watched an old PL years game between City and Liverpool while working just last week and Mane's impact in that match was just so immense. Salah was pretty much ghost. But he popped up with a goal and that's all that mattered.

Some pool fans during that era believed mane was the best player,bobby the glue and Salah the goal scorer...but at the end of the days goals is what folks are judge by in this era...

Fábregas,Messi were all saying mane was the best player at the time

Mane has not been properly replaced and Bobby certainly not..




Unto another topic I think we officially win the league vs Spurs in April ...

Just like Tevez and Gooney when C Tart got the glory.

PL quality is not up to par this season

top 2 teams are this version of Liverpool and Arsenal

levels below the Liverpool-City rivalry a few years back

that was peak top 2 teams

the quality in this game is below par from both teams

Agree..too many players on both sides that won't make it on the best 11 of either team a couple years ago... Talking about city and pool


Trent is dreadful my god

The players are cooked. Looks like a season coming off summer tournament football. The football this season hasn't been of the highest quality across all the leagues.

Decent game by lucho alot workrate but that final 3rd as usual,tragic.

At least his 1 shot was actually on target and not 10 rows deep

All these leagues across all sports are working the athletes to death. They got them playing more games than ever, travelling to places they never used to, to play cash grabs.

Good professional win,if forest do a job and we win Wednesday..its autopilot mode after that and focus on europe

Respect between pool and city players unlike vs that other team

Besides Henry, is Ronaldo still a PL GOAT above Salah?

I want other opinions than mine as I’m biased but I don’t even see Mo above Hazard as far as PL heritage. That’s a crazy statement I know

Seriously looking for opinions.

My dawg clocked right back in and ignored his boss

Oh well, with our result yesterday, we actually needed Pool to win today.

Forrest, Chelsea, City all lost. Pretty much top 4 is sealed

 

[Ukbrotha]

Just like Tevez and Gooney when C Tart got the glory.

Pretty much. I guess the slight difference was he was driving them to a 3 peat and UCL.
