daily-question

[lone saffron]

so my point is valid

[hot mango]

we score from open play now a days

[lone saffron]

they can go trhough

[lone saffron]

nah, you just don't score period

[hot mango]

your point was that we only score from set pieces

[lone saffron]

no, my point was you struggle to score in open play, as we both saw in wembley

[hot mango]

we scored at least 1 goal vs southampton and sporting in our last two matches

both from open play

both were away matches

[lone saffron]

2 goals is not an achievement 😭

[hot mango]

now we play at home

[lone saffron]

you created quite little vs sporting

2 goals across 2 games is considered poor for most teams 😭

[hot mango]

our attack was always crap but we can still score 2 goals at home against the likes of sporting

[lone saffron]

you scraped a lucky goal vs brighton and had no chances outside of that, everton game took you to the end to score, you're not scoring goals really, this isn't much of a debate

[hot mango]

their defense is not that good

[lone saffron]

obviously you can, i'm not saying you can't

[hot mango]

we scrapped a goal vs brighton and then defended like mad

[hot mango]

everton game arteta made subs to create chances to score and we did

we score goals one way or the other

[lone saffron]

not many of them

[hot mango]

and at home we are even more likely to

not many yes

[lone saffron]

it wouldn't be that shocking if sporting didn't concede at the emirates

or only conceded 1

and won 2-1

[hot mango]

but 2 or 3 goals at home is something we can do

[hot mango]

we had chances to score away at sporting

iam sure the home advantage will put pressure on sporting and we will actually score at the emirates due to that same advantage

also

we will keep a cleansheet

if we have our defensive players fit

[lone saffron]

sporting hit the bar last game, had chances

your defense can be got at

[hot mango]

they hit the bar cause raya saved it

^

[lone saffron]

i don't even think they'll go through, but it wouldn't be the craziest thing oat if they did

we'll see how you do vs bournemouth

[hot mango]

it would be crazy given they lost at home and sporting aren't exactly a big club

and they would need to win away against the best defense in the UCL

its crazy to say they can win away

its sporting..not a big team like barca/PSG/madrid or even athletico

[hot mango]

indeed..iam expecting a win there for us after getting that confidence lifting win away to sporting lets see

[small stream]

Easily Madrid, Theyre only 1 goal down, sporting is nowhere near arsenal, Barca 2-0 down and havent kept a clean sheet in 14 ucl games, and Liverpool are playing against a fully rested PSG squad thats 2-0 up 3 days after playing fulham

[night ruin]

1. Barca
2. Madrid
3. Sporting
4. Liverpool

Can’t have unc Lewy go out like this

But of course I really hope it's Liverpool as well

Maresca is actually decent and brings proper results instantly when we need them the most, but it's actually Blueco's fault. They're just incompetent at running this football club

[marble ivy]

Well the thing is, i do get the impression with such a young team, there's a lack of real leadership and experience at a club. Like who is there really to take players by the hand? Not to mention, the transfer policy seems to mainly be 'sign whoever seems young and talented enough'. You're just not getting there that way

Chelsea have key positions they need to improve in but won't for the forseeable future because it's just not the policy

[frosty coral]

Despicable ownership who haven't got a clue how the game works.

Maresca battered Luis Enrique's PSG and Flick's Barça. They should have given him all the tools to build the project.

[sinful temple]

And I don't follow pl much

[jolly vortex]

It feels like this is true it's just about the price tags but I have to question when it comes to scouting etc because I am not sering any proper development. Also only focusing on one age geoup here or even just Veterans causes a lack of balance in the squad which most successful squads I have seen have both, it's important to have the veterans or just more experienced players generally to mentor the younger ones.

Yeah that's what i wrote a bit earlier as well, the lack of veteran players brings a lack of real leadership and experience too. Like look at the squad, is there actually someone over 25 or so in there? Only one i can think of is Sanchez in goal and IDK if he's gonna be that mentor type person. And yeah i agree with your assessment, it seems to be about price tags more than anything else.

Nice Amy Winehouse pfp BTW, totally unrelated but very cool nonetheless to see

Yeah tbf when the only experienced one is in gosl I can't really expect them to bring their knowledge of the game to others who are going to be playing outfield, different worlds. I think it wouldn't hurt to have like at least 2-3 more experienced players even if its just a couple it could help.

Question 305

Do you think footballers are overpaid?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[serene cosmos]

Depends

[true vault]

not really

[hollow remnant]

depends

[slow mulch]

depends

[naive pawn]

yes

[rare bluff]

depends

[hollow remnant]

if the club has the money to pay huge wages to its players then i don't see the issue

[reef turret]

Yes

[paper nacelle]

Some of them are

[hollow remnant]

however i will never understand how ppl playing in regional leagues are getting paid

[bold bane]

If you look at it from a lens of social fairness yes
Economically no

Even economically idk how players like Havertz get paid 300k what global demand does he have

[fathom robin]

I would say yes but looking at nba players salaries , no

[hollow remnant]

also it's not normal that a club playing in a certain league can pay their players 2/3/4 times more than the other clubs in the same league

[hoary bronze]

depends

[fast blaze]

He’s leng tbf

[lapis nimbus]

Depends

[valid shale]

if youre talking about nicolas jackson yes, if youre talking about arda güler no

[twin cloud]

Ehhh yes, the higher league footballers deffo getting overpaid

[tight obsidian]

what isnt expensive these days

[odd citrus]

no

otherwise you’d call every other entertainment job overpaying

[small smelt]

Yes

[raw nimbus]

In general no

Considering football brings in so much revenue

But in a lot of cases they are as well

But those are very specific & unique circumstances

[torn urchin]

No because there are tik tokers and youtubers making about the same as some top tier footballers.

[inner haven]

It depends on how you look at it. Compared to essential workers like doctors, their pay feels astronomical and hard to justify. Football is a massive business. Players generate billions and have short careers, so they simply earn their market value.

Question 306

Arsenal and Manchester City clash tomorrow in a match that will most definitely have massive implications for the Premier League title race. The teams have been regularly locked in title battles, with growing animosity since the 2022–23 season. What is your view on the rivalry between these two clubs over the last four years? Do you think it has been an enjoyable and breathtaking rivalry, or rather dull and unenjoyable?

"Nobody interested watching a midtable team in final."

X · Apr 19, 2026, 7:16 AM

[gloomy patrol]

The final was intense and very balanced, ending with Real Sociedad winning the Copa del Rey on penalties against Atlético Madrid
Real Sociedad: a major boost This trophy strengthens their status as a team capable of winning big titles and increases their confidence for future domestic and European competitions
Atlético Madrid: a painful loss, especially on penalties. It highlights their ongoing struggles to close out big finals despite being strong and competitive
Overall, it’s a big psychological win for Sociedad and another tough final setback for Atlético

Question 311

Bayern Munich booked their place in the DFB-Pokal final yesterday, have already won the Bundesliga, and are also well positioned in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. If they win all three competitions, they will become the first club ever to achieve the treble three times in their history. What would a third treble say about Bayern’s consistency and dominance compared to other European giants?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[frosty coral]

PSG winning the UCL

[rare bluff]

best team in city of Munich i guess

[solemn prairie]

Best team in central Europe

[hoary bronze]

best team in Bayern Germany

[dense schooner]

Bayern would pretty much prove why they’re always the big superpower in German football like PSG in 2025 when they won their treble in French football/UCL along with consecutive league titles

[dreamy ivy]

They'll win UCL and make history, comparing to European giants to this team is Bundesliga have some of best clubs Bayern, bayer, Dortmund etc, Bayern Munich got World class players and the other clubs in Bundesliga doesn't have that too much world class players and it becomes easy to win the league and domestic tournaments, if Bayern was in pl it becomes hard to win trebe they might win domestic tournaments but winning the pl will become more hard for them pl is the hardest league in the world according to most pundits of football.

[balmy osprey]

absolutely nothing lol, everyone knows the level bayern is at, winning a ucl wouldnt really change how the community views them

[small smelt]

Best team oat if they win the triple treble

[peak beacon]

They were and still are giants so pretty consistent

[daring snow]

The only giant who has done better than us is of course real madrid. Barca had a period, but over the course of time they have fallen off.

[humble atlas]

If they win the treble then this team would be in contention for the best Bayern team in history they have already had a historical Bundesliga campaign only UCL and pokal remain

[quasi flare]

Question 312

Do you think squad depth has become more important than star power in major tournaments and leagues, especially with injuries and fatigue playing such a big role alongside the increasing number of matches? Or can a team still rely on a few elite players to carry them to success?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[frosty coral]

Squad depth matters so much

[raw nimbus]

48 days to go for the world cup #11-days-to-go message

[lapis nimbus]

Yes

[balmy osprey]

obviously lol, not even like recently it’s always been the reason why a team succeds that’s why real madrid have been the best team in the sport for a long time

[night ruin]

no
case in point, City and Arsenal
don't get me wrong, City are not exactly drowning in bench issues
but their upturn in form has been mainly reliant on rotating MUCH less and sticking to your big guns when the going gets tough

And Arsenal, despite having some of the best depth in Europe, is struggling now due to that lack of cutting edge
sure, the depth keeps you competitive
but when things get crucial, you call on the stars. Depth will never be as important as that.

[desert jewel]

no, squad depth is extremely overrated, i think the same exact 11 elite players should be starting every single match. Injuries are for losers and weaklings. No one cares about injuries and fatigue.

[thick current]

definitely important to have depth with the amount of games

[grand flower]

Question 314

Fermín López delivered a strong performance against Getafe yesterday, scoring a goal. Overall, he has recorded 13 goals and 16 assists for Barcelona so far this season.

City got a steal deal

[onyx gust]

29 G/A for a CAM and not up to the level

and a lot of those goals are top

[thick current]

you don't know ball

[placid egret]

He needs more recognition for what hes doing for barcelona this season. Better than a few fraudulent midfielders out there in the premier league.

I always understood fermins game.

[halcyon blade]

He's playing in a team that allows him to play the way he is. The goal contributions can be achieved by anyone else if they played in the same position at Barca. The club employs a system the academy players are trained for. This is like expecting apples from an apple tree, ofc it will bore apples.

He is good, but I doubt he will continue to be once he grows old and loses the athleticism that defines his style of gameplay.

p.s. minus aura for the mask.

[frosty coral]

And I haven't seen many players in his position score long range bangers as frequently as him

i think he deserves more recognition

[hollow sapphire]

He is class but not world class

I know this because i signed him my fifa career mode

[heady ermine]

One of the best midfielders in history

He would've won many ucls if he played in messi nyemar era

[humble atlas]

He is one of the most efficient cams in the world a bit selfish but he is g/a is exceptional maybe needs to improve a bit on decision making and creating space for himself against teams that don't give him that space

[small stream]

He's honestly criminally underrated, but I wouldn't say hes really pivitol to the Barca squad, mabye they just have too much quality, but on a team full of players who can take the ball and find a way to score, you sometimes have to channell ur talents into something like playmaking, tempo-regulating, or even free kicks to become a true matchwinner. He's good but I can name at least 7 better players on the current Barca squad that are much more important.

[true hemlock]

good pero no good enough

Question 315

A few weeks ago, Mohamed Salah announced that he will be leaving Liverpool at the end of this season. Salah has undoubtedly built an exemplary career at the club. Where do you think he ranks among the greatest Liverpool players of all time, as well as among the greatest players in Premier League history?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[dry plinth]

Yeah

[humble atlas]

Top 5 for Liverpool and top 10 for prem specifically

[wicked sedge]

i’d put Salah around top 3–5 all-time for Liverpool based on like his peak output, consistency, and trophies, with Dalglish and Gerrard still right there in the convo.
and in the Premier League he’s probably top 5–10 ever, just off how consistent his numbers have been, so he’s up there with Theirry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne

[humble atlas]

Yo we have the same opinion ❤️‍🩹

[tidal anvil]

Among the "greatest"(not necessarily the best) liverpool players OAT he is 4th-5th imo.
Again, for his insane range of individual records, in premier league history for me he is top 3 minimum.

Again, not saying he is among the" top 3 best players to play in the PL". But the top 3 best "PL players".

or maybe its just my biasness..

[rapid coral]

top 5 for liverpool, top 15-20 in the prem

Question 317

Did we see one of the best and most enjoyable football matches in history yesterday? Where does it rank in your personal rankings?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[tight obsidian]

holy timing man

but yeah def p high

[raw nimbus]

Very high yeah

[crystal tartan]

YESSSSSS

BUT THERES MORE

[raw nimbus]

Peak entertainment

[tight obsidian]

think it would be below United vs Lyon, City vs Madrid and Pool vs Barca tho

[astral kettle]

Just wait what happens tonight

[solemn prairie]

Very high, that match was insane

[thorn rain]

Top 10

[crystal tartan]

Top 5

[hushed gorge]

One of the best matches ever although defenses were NOT good but the goals were all stunning and the whole thing very intense

[oblique spear]

bro man Utd vs Lyon will always be number one

[frosty coral]

If we're ranking matches that were crazy end-to-end, probably #2 or #3 in my all-time rankings.

[hushed gorge]

I would say holy bias but fck you're not wrong at all it was indeed better but it was a second leg. We must see the second leg of bayern-psg too

[frosty coral]

If we ever get a UCL final or World Cup final that finishes 5-4, it would automatically be the greatest game ever.

[oblique spear]

PSG vs Bayern -> offense
arsenal vs Atletico -> defense

okay but it's definitely below WC final 2022 and United vs Lyon we can all agree

[hushed gorge]

These 3 are all close asf tbh

I could make a case for all 3

[oblique spear]

go to #football-chat

[bold bane]

Top 15 (excluding Arsenal matches)

[tulip basin]

easily top 5 of all time, excluding games with personal value I think it is 2nd behind the world cup final 2022

[lone saffron]

1st leg is never gonna be like that for me personally, still very enjoyable, but i wouldn't have it in my top 10 i don't think

it was basically just goals lol

Question 318

Antoine Griezmann won the Man of the Match award yesterday in the Champions League semi-finals. After a long career in Europe, he will finally be leaving this summer to move to MLS. How do you feel about his overall legacy and all-time status?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[hollow remnant]

he's one of the greatest french NT player of all time

his only issue is that he didnt win many trophies with atleti

[modest kite]

His legacy in football is beautiful and wonderful, and it would be a beautiful conclusion if he ended the season with the European Club Championship and the World Cup for national teams.

[crystal tartan]

#1 best legend that has never won a laliga trophy

Respect

[raw nimbus]

One of the best international performers of our era, world champion with france & amazing performances at most international tournaments he has played in.

Should have won more than just a Europa league & Copa Del Rey at club level though, but purely as a player did very well individually regardless

[gloomy patrol]

In All-time he’s not in the “GOAT” conversation but he absolutely belongs in the tier just below a modern great a World Cup icon and one of the smartest attackers of his era

[cosmic spruce]

goated

[raw nimbus]

#11-days-to-go message

[true vault]

I see Antoine Griezmann as one of the most complete forwards of his era. He delivered at the highest level with Atlético Madrid. He deserves to win more trophies apart from the Europa League. One of the GOAT in LaLiga that only a few talks about.

[daring snow]

Tier 2

[shrewd plover]

Very good player. Joined Barcelona at the most cursed of times. Would probably have him on my list of Top 20 Strikers since 1995, but near the bottom. Allways admired his workrate, allways works his ass off. But he will allways be Pigmann to me, as Griez is pronounced the same as Gris, which is Pig in Norwegian. Big respect to Pigmann.

[hoary bronze]

goated

[simple walrus]

Atletico didn't deserve him. If they really respected him, he wouldn't have a club career like this. Not the fans fault tho, I respect them.

The only Atleti player I could never hate, always loved him, and the best French player of the last 15 years Imo.

Was the glue to the absolute egoistic cunts in both levels, and I'm not sure how Deschamps and the future managers will manage the prima donnas in the NT without someone selfless like him.

Will miss him Europe, could've played for one more season or moved to Ligue 1/Serie A and do something special instead of moving to MLS 💔 but still... ALL TIME LEGEND. 🇫🇷

[tulip basin]

One of those amazing players who just never really won anything, first one that comes to mind is Totti. Will always be remembered as arguably Atléticos best player

[rich nymph]

Honestly one of the greatest players this generation he was brilliant on and off the ball he wasn't just a 9 or a 10 he something else new

[shadow oxide]

in the levels of the best of the best

but sad he couldnt win more bigger trophies

[blissful tiger]

Griezmann is a world class forward and one of the best of his generation, known for big-game performances and intelligence. i wouldnt put him in the Messi/Ronaldo tier, but he’s still a modern great with an elite career. His MLS move doesn’t change his strong legacy much.

[bold bane]

[nova hazel]

MY GOAT

[jolly vortex]

Great player but getting rated too high nowadays compared to what his actual skill level was.

[young yarrow]

Considering he has a World Cup and Europa league to his name he definitely has left a good legacy, and especiallly since he was a key part of both (arguably the best player in them too). Sure he might not have won UCL, or La Liga, and did not win a main domestic title with his longtime club but that should never undermine what he has won, especially since 99% of players end up winning no titles in their career.

[split glacier]

He will be forgotten in 10 years just like a lot of players are, he will be remembered more for his international legacy if anything but not for club

[sinful temple]

athletico and france legend, played a very very crucial role in france's wc win and deserves much more club trophies

Question 319

Despite reaching both the MLS Cup Final and the CONCACAF Champions Cup Final for the first time last season and winning eight of their first nine MLS games, Vancouver Whitecaps FC are reportedly facing potential relocation, with Las Vegas the most likely destination. Limited stadium revenue at BC Place, which is owned by the provincial government, is said to be the main reason. If this happens, it would be the first MLS relocation since 2005. What impact could it have on the league and its players, and what are your general opinions on such team relocations?
