la-liga

[lucid meadow]

your new wingback

[inland hound]

De paul what a steal

[fading ember]

Atlético have got some talent in De Paul

[warm delta]

Yes it's very different from a club drowning in debt

[tepid marsh]

Mark my words atletico will win the league

[hybrid python]

They’re favourites yea

[lucid meadow]

yeah it’s very different from a club being funded by a whole state

[hybrid python]

But we have a slight chance

[warm delta]

Yes

[grave glen]

How good was kounde this season

[lethal ember]

Very good

His ball progression has improved signifanctly this szn

Man turned into prime messi at times ...

[lucid meadow]

good at going forward

more than average at defence but mistake prone

needs a solid CB to back him up

[prime gust]

chelsea too tbf

[restive harbor]

la liga is the best league

[inner gorge]

Laliga is underrated when it comes to premier league

Prem is overrated

[grave glen]

True

[inner gorge]

Well who won atleti vs salzburg

[stiff fjord]

Salzburg

[inner gorge]

Was pretty busy today

[stiff fjord]

1-0

[inner gorge]

Ooo

[stiff fjord]

We had a good game

created chances

[inner gorge]

Sick

Didn't know we are gonna face inter Milan next

Or wolfsburg

[grave glen]

Where facing Juve

In August

[inner gorge]

Goat v Goat

[stiff fjord]

our last friendly is vs feyenoord

[fading ember]

Media returned to Barcelona also today.

[grave glen]

[fading ember]

From his Holiday in Miami.

[grave glen]

Media

[fading ember]

Good chance that he may play in the Gamper.

[inner gorge]

Nice

[fading ember]

If his extension is announced before it.

[fading ember]

Every match gonna be 10-10

[inner gorge]

Bruuuuuh

[fading ember]

Tbh our midfield and attack doesn’t worry me.

It’s the defence mainly, which makes me so pessimistic.

Can’t trust ter statue and long legs at all.

[inner gorge]

Ngl the opponent team will be on offside mostly

[fading ember]

Yeah lmao

[inner gorge]

Even tho its risky

But offside trap

[grave glen]

Ter Stegen literally saved our ass the whole season and u guys keep disrespecting him.

[inner gorge]

Unless the ref or the var is blind

[inner gorge]

Ikr

[stiff fjord]

They can easily counter the offside trap if collado is there

[fading ember]

Na bruh he has been ass since that Liverpool game.

[inner gorge]

Put dembele at the back man will catch the striker in no time

[stiff fjord]

Grizi can tackle

He has decent defending stats

[inner gorge]

Does he have pace tho?

[stiff fjord]

Not a lot but can definitely win the ball

[inner gorge]

I mean 1 on 1 but on counter attack dembele will shine by hunting the striker like a hungry lion on a zebra

[fading ember]

Grizi is underrated in terms of his defensive skills.

Barely see people appreciating his defensive work rate.

[inner gorge]

His a good player

But atletico fans Don want him

He didn't appreciate the club

Man dipped

[stiff fjord]

I do

[fading ember]

It’s really funny that griezmann despite playing his whole career in la liga has never won it.

[grave glen]

Weren’t Barca fans calling Ter Stegen the best GK itw from December to April and then all of a sudden, tEr StAtUe

[fading ember]

I never called him best gk in the world.

[inner gorge]

Same he really fits someone's tactics well

[fading ember]

But yeah some of our fanbase called him that

[stiff fjord]

Ter Steven had a decent season especially helping barca reach top 4 with shit defenders

[grave glen]

His knee is still having problems

[fading ember]

Really?

[grave glen]

He’s been having that for 2 seasons

Yeah

[inner gorge]

He needs a rest

[fading ember]

F then

[inner gorge]

Mans tired

[grave glen]

He was on pain killers vs Bayern

[fading ember]

8-2?

[grave glen]

Ya

[fading ember]

Sad

[inner gorge]

But that day ouf

I remember waking up late to watch the match

And slept with depression

[grave glen]

Our YouTube channel admins are so cringey I want them to change

[inner gorge]

Even tho I'm atleti fan

I wanted barca to win

[grave glen]

We need at least 1 good defender

We need to buy this summer

Or swap or something

Some decent he doesn’t have to be the Best itw

[inner gorge]

True but Dont come to atletis defenders

[grave glen]

Lel

I trust Araujo

Tho

And mingueza

[inner gorge]

Just realised that de gea and courtios came from atletico

Ateltico GK trainers doing bits

[grave glen]

Yeah

Courtois was on loan I think

[inner gorge]

Oh

[grave glen]

I still have a difficult time spelling his name

[inner gorge]

Same

[fading ember]

Ngl I am a barca fan but if any team I would like to see win UCL after us as long as we are not playing them is atleti.

Mainly because for La liga as a whole.

[inner gorge]

Bruh I hated UCL since that 2016 defeat

Not really

But everytime atleti reaches UCL final we losing

[grave glen]

2014 y’all were really close

And u lost to Real Madrid both of the times which hurts for u guys a lot.

[inner gorge]

Perez was watching prolly paid those ref

But it is what it is

It's our neighbours

If PSG doesn't win UCL next season they must end their club

[fading ember]

Fr

They have signed too many good players.

To just not win now.

Even tho I would love to see them loose.

[inner gorge]

Same

Even tho I live in qatar and most fans are PSG

They really confident thinking they gonna win UCL

Until they face City

[fading ember]

City are also looking good.

But then pep is an overthinker

[inner gorge]

City becoming atletico 2.0

[fading ember]

In UCL finals certainly

[inner gorge]

But that Liverpool Dub was something else

[fading ember]

Atleti were too unlucky

[inner gorge]

If our players didn't get positive In 2019

Pretty sure we would have hold leipzeg to extra time

[fading ember]

Prolly yes

[inner gorge]

Robertson is still waiting for the 3rd leg

wElCoMe tO aNfiEld

[fading ember]

[lucid meadow]

it’s not controversial

it’s understandable where you’re coming from

[void tapir]

@crystal sandal is from United States and they support Real Madrid! Welcome to the chat!

[glacial coral]

Anyone know how good Kounde has been cause apparently he's been linked to Chelsea

[grave glen]

I shud start to watch la liga

[icy jolt]

@unique elm You guys lost to Salzburg

[raven shale]

He's good a Sevilla even Madrid want him

[glacial coral]

I gues he wants trophys

[raven shale]

He already got uel

He just need bigger club

But you have rudiger silva and zouma

[grave glen]

rudiger

[undone knot]

Gorosabel is underrated

Real Sociedad right back

[still pagoda]

Puig trying to look like a certain Dutchman so he can get minutes under Koeman

[undone knot]

He's very good on

• tackling
• carries most of the possession for Sociedad
• touches
• pressure/pressing
• composure

and has a good xA

Decent on crosses and corner kicks

I think teams should look into this player

Aguacil also put him on defensive midfielder and central midfielder in 3 appearances

Really is mad underrated

[lucid meadow]

sounds like galan

[shadow juniper]

[still pagoda]

similar to Javi Galan

best player for Huesca last season

idk why clubs arent interested in him

[undone knot]

Sleeping on Galan smh

Most midtable or bottom low teams' players deserves recognition

Like Rafa Mir

Morales

[lucid meadow]

i think it’s not just sleeping on these players

[unique elm]

Cries in having a team who has officially lost to both Red Bulls

[lucid meadow]

most teams have an average to good pair of fullbacks

[unique elm]

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[lucid meadow]

though galan’s market value wouldn’t hurt any club in any way

[plain elbow]

oof

atletico is on a red bull curse

now, they haven’t played against all the red bull teams.

[unique elm]

But you know that when we lost to a Red Bull team we got the title in the next szn or in the same szn

So not really

[icy jolt]

[unique elm]

So funny I forgot to laugh

[icy jolt]

Let's make this an emoji

[unique elm]

Idk tbh

[thin ivy]

That hairline tho

[devout geyser]

fair but kinda ironic coming from Atleti fan

[mighty fox]

lmaoo

[devout geyser]

considering Atleti havent won a CL themselves

[mighty fox]

PSG might as well get Messi and Ronaldo at this pace (and still lose UCL)

[devout geyser]

ive been saying that all the time

[mighty fox]

they had the only 2 legged final in the history of UCL

in 74 against Bayern

[devout geyser]

yeah

and lost

[mighty fox]

they've always been unlucky on UCL finals

[devout geyser]

2014 was their worst final

[mighty fox]

could've ended Bayern on the first game but lost a clear goal in the last minutes

[devout geyser]

they were so close to winning and ended up losing 4-1

[mighty fox]

team was way too exhausted in extra time

[icy jolt]

[devout geyser]

yeah

that Ramos goal though

[mighty fox]

mid last decade was pretty tough for Atleti

lost on UCL 4 times in a row to Real

2014, 15, 16 and 17

[undone knot]

Galan and Gorosabel are so underrated

[devout geyser]

screw Gorosabel

as he comes from Sociedad

Galan was nice though

nah in all fairness i rate Gorosabel

I think he is an underrated RB

his crossing is excellent

[icy jolt]

@devout geyser Is it usual for Athletic fans to follow Atleti too?

[devout geyser]

I follow La Liga as a whole

[icy jolt]

Ok

[icy jolt]

@unique elm F

But you can't lose a UCL final if you've never been there

[mighty fox]

true teams go to UEL finals

[icy jolt]

Atletico can't win the UCL

They can only win the UEL

[lucid meadow]

isnt galan already on a move to another la liga team

or did the negotiations die down

last i read the suitor was offering 2.5 mil instead of the desired 5 mil

[icy jolt]

Huesca yes

[mighty fox]

"We can't win UCL so let's just drop to UEL and take it, so we win a title and still get TV and participation money from UCL, then repeat the process" - Sevilla logic

[icy jolt]

@iron marten

[half arrow]

umm hey where will La Liga be aired on?

[lucid meadow]

which country

[frank robin]

what goes on in Julen Lopetegui's head

[unique elm]

2014 and 2016 were really painful man

[icy jolt]

At least you won against us in the UEL final

And against Arsenal in the semis

[unique elm]

Griezmann post in 2016

[icy jolt]

[unique elm]

We could've won if he did score that

[icy jolt]

And you guys decided to join the ESL instead

[unique elm]

We didn't

Smh

We did actually leave that

Only Real,Barca and Juve were staying

And I think they got sanctioned later on

[fading ember]

They didn’t get sanctioned.

Make no mistake.
ESL died due to the fan reaction and protests,
Not due to UEFA

UEFA are an organisation who fail to even beat Manchester City’s lawyers

[lucid meadow]

UEFA challenged it in court and got told off

ESL is pretty much ongoing as anything else

but if fans don’t want something, clubs adhere to that

[fading ember]

ESL can’t be created without the prem clubs.

Those 6 rake in lots of TV money.

[half iris]

Yep

Even Spurs generate the big bucks

[fading ember]

Yeah.

And prem clubs were the ones who faced the most fan backlash.

So it’s unlikely they will jump in on the idea soon again.

[half iris]

Perez says that he still has it on his mind

[icy jolt]

The ESL didn't die

[half iris]

And I think that for as long as the Glazers are there too it might always come up

[inner gorge]

He became a prime Dani Alves last season

[icy jolt]

It just got shelved for now

[lucid meadow]

with the transfer system he’s progressing with, you’d think perez is more bent on ESL right now

[still pagoda]

uefa dont care about smaller clubs, the only reason they were so against the esl was because they wouldnt get any money

[raven shale]

ESL is better than uefa new rules

[icy jolt]

Once the fans forget the idea of the ESL somehow, those people will be back

No one is tired of earning more money and getting benefits from the others

[raven shale]

Atheltic Bilbao is an underrated club

Imagine win the super Copa with only Spain player

[icy jolt]

Athletic reached the UEL final before too

[raven shale]

Yes

[lucid meadow]

gymnasts

[raven shale]

What

Basque player are good

[lucid meadow]

when they aren’t doing gymnastics on pitch, yes

[raven shale]

Yes I get it

[icy jolt]

[lucid meadow]

that game against barcelona was a terrible show

[inner gorge]

Against atletico right?

[half iris]

The only club other than Barca and Real to never be relegated from La Liga

[inner gorge]

Falcao was insane in that match

[icy jolt]

Yes

[raven shale]

Yes

Even tho never reach the ucl place in this 2000s Bilbao is consistent

[lucid meadow]

dumped on by sevilla

[raven shale]

Yes

Hello

[ripe field]

hi

[restive harbor]

Real madrid deserved la liga trophy this season

[icy jolt]

No

[restive harbor]

they had alot of injurys

[candid terrace]

no

[frank robin]

no

[icy jolt]

No club deserves to win a trophy without competing it

[candid terrace]

this a straight up poor argument

[restive harbor]

its normal that you say that ur a atletico man

[candid terrace]

we should win the premier league then

[frank robin]

lol

true

[restive harbor]

liverpool win the premier league? 😂

[candid terrace]

our squad was injured

[frank robin]

they did compete

[candid terrace]

exactly like yours

[restive harbor]

we had more

[candid terrace]

so we deserve the premier league

[restive harbor]

look 70% of our best players were injured

and we went to the champions league semis

with so much injurys

[icy jolt]

But it still doesn’t mean that you deserve the trophy over other teams

[candid terrace]

yup

[restive harbor]

ok

messi was bad in copa america final

[candid terrace]

so

[restive harbor]

oh this is la liga i can't talk here

[candid terrace]

he still won

[frank robin]

yh that was good from zidane

[icy jolt]

@unique elm Look what someone above said

[restive harbor]

messi had a freaking 6/10 rating in copa america

most players of argentina had a 7 or 8

[inland hound]

Unbeaten Against Top 10,Won all Big games with 60+injuries👍

[restive harbor]

messi 6

[icy jolt]

While Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal got knocked out against Belgium in the Euros

[restive harbor]

belgium had a better squad

[raven shale]

Still

[unique elm]

Where exactly?

[restive harbor]

above

[raven shale]

You had "the goat"

[icy jolt]

@unique elm

[unique elm]

[raven shale]

Deserve really

[unique elm]

Huge Cap

[candid terrace]

you should see his argument

[raven shale]

Wtf

[unique elm]

We were more consistent

[raven shale]

Even barca and ATM work hard for that shit

[restive harbor]

barca?

wtf

my guy

think twice

barca was litteraly the worst

[raven shale]

And you just said deserve

[candid terrace]

right here comes the debate

[restive harbor]

my guy said barca

wtf

[raven shale]

Worst doesn't mean work hard

[restive harbor]

real madrid worked harder then barca

[icy jolt]

How so?

[restive harbor]

this guy

[raven shale]

And you say opinion

"Deserve"

[restive harbor]

tell me how barca deserved? and "barca worked hard" isn't a answer because thats false

[inland hound]

Unbeaten against Top 10 Won all Big games😁

[candid terrace]

explain how

[candid terrace]

how tf is that working hard

[raven shale]

Every club should work hard not "deserve"

[icy jolt]

What’s the evidence of Real Madrid worked harder than Barcelona?

[raven shale]

Since when I said barca deserve

[icy jolt]

That’s what sports should be

[arctic geyser]

?

[icy jolt]

Sportsmanship, to be more precise

[candid terrace]

bruh even a madrid fan has a ?

[restive harbor]

ur a liverpool fan i wouldn't talk

this isn't the premier league chat

[candid terrace]

how tf is that relevant

ask the united guy to shut up too then

[raven shale]

After 8-2, economy crisis , a lot of player leave, is good to be in the top 3

And that's work hard

[restive harbor]

look we lost our best player ronaldo

and many others

[candid terrace]

how long ago

[restive harbor]

2018

BUT we still won la liga in 2020

[frank robin]

spoken like a true real fan

[restive harbor]

ty

[raven shale]

Neymar leave us and win 2 la Liga what's ur point

[restive harbor]

you had messi and suarez

One of the best forwards

[icy jolt]

My local club are consistently title contenders and are almost guaranteed the trophy, but they still work hard for the prize - winning a title is about sportsmanship and attitude, not about belittling your opponents and feeling entitled to everything

[restive harbor]

ok i agree

i was wrong

ok

[candid terrace]

wow

[raven shale]

You have bale and benzo they're good without you even knowing

[restive harbor]

i know

bale just came back this season

[raven shale]

Yes

[fading ember]

Messi is going on a holiday to Ibiza with Suarez now...
That means his extension won’t be announced until next week at least

Suarez is coming back

?

[fading ember]

Na lol

He and messi and their families are good friends

They usually go on holidays together.

[frank robin]

lol

no

[icy jolt]

Never

[raven shale]

Suarez isn't enough to win you something next season

[frank robin]

hmm

[fading ember]

Atleti have literally de paul

[frank robin]

we will see

[raven shale]

And

[fading ember]

That guy complements simeone’s system more than anyone

That too just for 35 million

[unique elm]

He is

And if Griezmann is coming back

We should be enough

[frank robin]

he got at least one more good season in him

[frank robin]

yh

[icy jolt]

I can see Atleti to defend their title this season if everything goes right for them

[raven shale]

Grizi even die to stay at barca

[fading ember]

Atleti look better than both barca and real.

[frank robin]

we should sign romero

[unique elm]

Not happening

[fading ember]

They are the favourites

[unique elm]

He is coming back

You'll see

[raven shale]

Lol romero is at Tottenham

[unique elm]

😉

[fading ember]

That deal has fallen off now tho

[unique elm]

Mate

You know that he is coming back

Doesn't matter in which way

[raven shale]

He literally accept 50% salary cut to stay at barc

[unique elm]

You can take Joao

And give Grizi to us

[fading ember]

[fading ember]

He is negotiating.
It’s not know what will it be or if it will be done

[frank robin]

not yet

[icy jolt]

Ok

[raven shale]

He is

[fading ember]

How much is atleti’s transfer budget for this window?

[fading ember]

It’s not done

But Tottenham are Front runners to get him

@slate kayak you don't deserve my respect

[icy jolt]

Smh

[slate kayak]

such a wild trade

[inner gorge]

any transfer news?

[slate kayak]

dump both starting CBs in the same year for alabum and nacho

or whoever it is

alaba will cost you dearly

[inner gorge]

villareal winning laliga next season

[slate kayak]

mark my words

he's going to cost you either a clasico, cdr or ucl

how do you pay this clown more than ramos

[inner gorge]

alaba is not bad

he creates alot of chances might help benzema

plus kross and modric

u have 3 players who have Huge vision

[slate kayak]

alaba at lb is elite

alaba at cb is a mistake waiting to happen

[inner gorge]

facts

his risky

plus his tackles are too harsh which might provide pens

[slate kayak]

and he can't tackle to save his life

he either fouls

or doesnt go in

[inner gorge]

yea

he fouls alot

[slate kayak]

so its dicy

[inner gorge]

he proved himself in the euros

most pens came from alaba fouls

[slate kayak]

lb > cdm > cb

[inner gorge]

nacho is CB yea?

[slate kayak]

but real already have mendy at cb

yes nacho / militao other cbs

for real

[inner gorge]

isnt mendy an LB

?

[slate kayak]

yep thats what i mean

so hes unlikely to play lb

and casemiro at cdm

so most likely cb

[inner gorge]

plus marcelo and alaba

[slate kayak]

alaba will most likely play cb

[inner gorge]

real must play 532 then

[slate kayak]

and real fans will swallow him whole

[inner gorge]

if they want to play militao,nacho and alaba

and mendy

[slate kayak]

they arent nice like bayern fans

[inner gorge]

yea

[slate kayak]

1 mistake and they will set his hedge on fire

key his car

[inner gorge]

532 might fit real ngl but idk if their familiar with it

like carvajal in RB

[frank robin]

yh

[slate kayak]

carvajal is almost never fit anymore

[inner gorge]

mendy,militao and nacho in CB

and LB alaba

[inner gorge]

bruh

[slate kayak]

its literally facts

he played 13 league games last season

basically 1/3

[inner gorge]

bruh

yall got another RB?

[slate kayak]

idk

im not a real fan

[inland hound]

We dont play High line

Bayern he had to cover Boateng

[inner gorge]

is rodrygo RW?

[slate kayak]

high line didnt make alaba pass directly to paredes tho

or directly to mbappe

or 100 other things

[inland hound]

LW natural poistion but Hazard🥶

[slate kayak]

anyway you will see soon enough

real have no wingers basically

no defense

[inner gorge]

bruuuuuuuuuhhhh ngl real madrid can win the season but the players fitness is an F

[slate kayak]

and an ageing midfield

yet saving for mbappe

[inner gorge]

yall should throw mbappe away

[slate kayak]

who the hell is going to create for him

[inner gorge]

and focus on defense

[inland hound]

"Ageing Midfield" Still the best innit

[frank robin]

give him to us

[slate kayak]

modric is 36 my friend

[frank robin]

modric almost won world cup, UCL and ballon d'or in the same year

[slate kayak]

and my grandma is faster than kroos

that was 2018

[inner gorge]

bruh

[inland hound]

didnt ask his age

[slate kayak]

we are in 2022 season

[inland hound]

Bruh💀

[inner gorge]

his still good tho

[slate kayak]

ok pele won 2 wc back to back in 60s

start him then

[inner gorge]

age is just a number

[inland hound]

Get out of FIFA loll

[slate kayak]

you think he can just go on playing for infinity or what

[frank robin]

didnt sigurdsson say that?

[slate kayak]

your midfield's age showed vs chelsea

no matter how class modric is he can't go on for 5 years

[inner gorge]

who pissed this man

[inland hound]

They played thier 1 st Game after Injury

[slate kayak]

k enjoy

[inland hound]

Yes we are aware

[inner gorge]

real madrid should forget about mbappe and focus on defense

[slate kayak]

inb4 more tapes get leaked

[inner gorge]

yep we read them

[slate kayak]

what if tapes about mbappe get released before signing

you know psg is trying to find them

you also know perez said some stuff

[thin ivy]

Nah we need a winger. We're fine in defense

[thin ivy]

Everyone except Courtois was terrible in that game. Yes all our mids was slow but fatigue was part of it for sure.

[thin ivy]

Carva, Alaba, Nacho, Militao, Mendy play basketball then

[inland hound]

They played thier 1 st game after thier injury

[slate kayak]

i've already spoken at length about alaba

if he';s the cornerstone of your defense you're in deep shit

[thin ivy]

We have other players

[inland hound]

He will be the ball playing CB

[thin ivy]

Bruh this guy

[slate kayak]

none of them on the level of ramos or varane

or anywhere close

[inland hound]

We know that

[thin ivy]

Carvajal?

[slate kayak]

13 games last season

hes very injury prone now

[thin ivy]

I still think we're fine defensively.

Nacho can cover for RB if ever

[frank robin]

lmao

[slate kayak]

you underestimate how error prone alaba is that's all

carvajal is fine if hes fit

[thin ivy]

Varane was error prone these last two seasons too

[slate kayak]

mendy is also fine

yeah and you had some1 to cover for him right

do you think eder can cover

in the same way

[thin ivy]

He can hes a great defender

Tall, strong and fast

[slate kayak]

i guess we'll know soon enough

[frank robin]

alaba is a solid defender and he has great vision but he is error prone

[thin ivy]

Hes in a new team rn so idk how he'll do but im confident

We just need to sell isco and get mbappe or haaland

[slate kayak]

if your entire plan for the future is mbappe or haaland

[icy jolt]

[worldly glacier]

has varane signed for man utd already?

[tepid marsh]

Yes

[worldly glacier]

dude

they have no proper CB left

right

[tepid marsh]

Yeah but they got alaba and militao but they are not gonna be as good as ramos and varane

[worldly glacier]

feel bad for them lmao

[tepid marsh]

Lol

But i think real is gonna buy mbappe soon

[worldly glacier]

a forward isnt gonna make their denfence good

like barca in the last seasons

[tepid marsh]

I know

[frank robin]

but they can score more goals than the other team

[tepid marsh]

But i dont think militao and alaba are that bad

[worldly glacier]

they cant play all the games right

they need a break once in a while

atleti will keep on winning and it will get boring

[native sandal]

When Barcelona won it in a row we said nothing.
When Madrid won it in a row they said nothing.
When atleti finally won it again they think they'll turn it into a farmers league

[grim thicket]

@thin ivy mate did you hear? apparently we are gonna accept offers for odegaard north of 50m 😭

but there's good news too

carvajal just accepted his contract

[thin ivy]

Who has the bigger chance of starting? Nacho or Militao?

[grim thicket]

militao for sure

[thin ivy]

I mean we can use the money! thats 100m with the 50 from Varane + the 100 we already have? Im not too attached to Ode but I hope he doesn't get sold.

Isco though..

[thin ivy]

I did see. 2025! Hope he wont be as injury prone this time around. In Pintus we trust

[grim thicket]

i was soooo looking forward to seeing odegaard play in the white....i had rlly high hopes for him ever since he joined us when he was 16

[grim thicket]

yep, hope his injury days are behind him

[thin ivy]

You think anyones buying? I dont think arsenal has shown any interest yet.

[grim thicket]

guess whose injury days arent behind him tho

[grim thicket]

they have

[grim thicket]

EDEN......FUCKING.....HAZARD

[thin ivy]

If we sell Odegaard, we HAVE to get either Mbappe or Haaland. If not we start a riot.

[grim thicket]

once again, hazard reported back unfit

[thin ivy]

Jesus Christ

Pintus hasn't gotten to him yet?

[grim thicket]

hopefully pintus can whoop those burgers out of him

[grim thicket]

not yet, still recovering from the euro injury

[thin ivy]

Break his legs and replace them with aluminum.

[grim thicket]

lol

thats a bit extreme

but yeah, thats the mood

[thin ivy]

I was hoping he'd do good at the Euros man. No contribution + injury.

[grim thicket]

he did....okayish....and then he got injured again

story of hazard;'s career ever since he left chelsea

[thin ivy]

Might sound off but I don't think he can play winger anymore. CAM/RM can work though? Can't make runs, limps after getting tackled a few times, no pace. But if he plays mid, he still makes good passes and tight dribbles, no need that much for pace too.

[grave glen]

Alaba has COVID already???

[thin ivy]

Ye

[grim thicket]

looking forward to him playing cam yeah

he had a good chemistry with benzema, and besides he doesnt play as a winger anyway, he drifts inside and operates in the left half space like isco used to in his prime

so i think he can play cam, but im def not gonna root for him starting over ode

[thin ivy]

same

[grim thicket]

what do you think of a midfield with fede, ode, and kroos/casemiro depending on the opposition

[thin ivy]

sounds good to me honestly

[raven shale]

Nah Ancelotti only gonna use MCK

[thin ivy]

@grim thicket whatcha think

[grim thicket]

huh looks amazing

[raven shale]

Vinicius gonna start

[grim thicket]

just...rodrygo>bale

[thin ivy]

is there a chance we play lms and rms

[grim thicket]

uhhh i dont think we have that kind of player

maybe vinicius can be, with his defensive work rate

but otherwise, no i dont think so

[inland hound]

Hazard?

[grim thicket]

and besides that, neither mendy nor carvajal are as great going forward as they are defensively, so id say we stick to 433 with wingers

[thin ivy]

lol no

wait im making different xis

[inland hound]

Perfect lineup But we have to Fit in Hazard

This one is a bit wild but Ancelotti used 3atb with Everton

[native sandal]

tfw ur idole is finished 😭

[inland hound]

Militao over Nacho

[thin ivy]

Sorry it should be militao instead of nacho

but yeah

[inland hound]

Jovic over Rodrygo

[grim thicket]

maybe casemiro as the CDM and fede/modric as the cm beside kroos?

or wait, is alaba the 3rd cb?

[thin ivy]

You cant be serious

[thin ivy]

for a 3atb yeah

[inland hound]

Jovic better at ST

[thin ivy]

kroos will probably start more over modric tbf

[grim thicket]

ah alright

[thin ivy]

bruh

[inland hound]

Can Hold up,Linkup and Score goals

[grim thicket]

oh no no thats for sure, i though it was a 442 with alaba playing cdm

if its a double pivot kroos is always starting over modric

tho id say, since we have options and this is a developing young team, maybe give fede a spot in the double pivot, with either casemiro or kroos playing beside him depending on the opposition

ie, if its a good attacking unit we face, we are gonna play casemiro, and otherwise, kroos

[thin ivy]

Im gonna post next my personal and biased XI then a XI just in case everyones injured

Yeah i agree

[grim thicket]

but ofc we are gonna rotate a loooot this season

we have soooo many options

even ceballos for a few games

but at the end of the line, when we have moved past kcm, i would love to see odegaard, camavinga and fede in the midfield

[covert monolith]

damn

totally forgot abt ceballos

i thought arsenal bought him for some reason

[grim thicket]

nope unfortunately not

unfortunately for both us and ceballos, as he isnt gonna get game time with us, and we couldve cashed in on him and used the money

[thin ivy]

Tfw Vasquez will go back to being a sub

[grim thicket]

he could get some minutes as starting RW

we still dont have that position locked up

[thin ivy]

True. Id play him RW over asensio

[grim thicket]

and yeah, asensio has just been unimpressive ever since that acl injury

my money is on rodrygo and LV rotating for RW minutes

and rodrygo/asensio/vini for LW

im not counting hazard, he can fuck the hell off

[thin ivy]

Same same

Id start hazard but somewhere in mid

[grim thicket]

ofc militao is more impressive

[thin ivy]

Whoscored is accurate right

[grim thicket]

he has got a higher ceiling, way off his prime, and also, the ramos "archetype"

as in

quite versatile

can play atleast 2 different positions

has a good ball control and passing range, ie, can bring the ball up

and is a good presence in the box

[thin ivy]

Idk from my perspective, nacho is closer to ramos? rb, dribbles super high, aggressive

I remembered nacho being a better passer too

0.5 looks bad

XI i want but we all know it wont happen

[covert monolith]

thought nacho was much younger

feels like he's only played for the last 5 years

[covert monolith]

L for not having 🐐 Lucas Vazquez in this team

[thin ivy]

idk where to put him honestly

YO I FORGOT WE HAD KUBO?

Our midfield stacked boy

[covert monolith]

striker duh 🙄

[thin ivy]

Nah hes a winger

[grim thicket]

nacho isnt as good a presence in the box tho, yes he is aggressive, but again, clearly not as great in terms of skill, and besides as i was saying, militao used to play RB at porto, so it fits the bill

if i had to choose between nacho and militao, militao always

i would love to see nacho groom vallejo and chust to become great backups tho

looking forward to that locker room chemistry

[thin ivy]

True

cant wait for the games to start

[grim thicket]

yep, but rlly looking forward to milan v madrid on 8th

and watching brahim play against us 😭

[thin ivy]

you think we're gonna have a similar lineup as rangers or are we going to have a more serious one now

[grim thicket]

oh for sure we are gonna have a lot more of our actual starters

thats why im looking forward to the game, as to how ancelotti is gonna use the players

now ofc, benzema and alaba are out coz of covid, but the rest of the players

before the rangers game, the other senior players had just reported back from holiday so it wasnt possible to play them

[thin ivy]

benz still hasnt recovered?

[grim thicket]

dont think so, has it been 2 weeks?

[thin ivy]

I cant remember anymore

Covid is such a bummer goddamn

[grim thicket]

:(

[mighty fox]

this makes me imagine peaked Milan on the 2000's vs the Galacticos

[grim thicket]

well, in that case, alaba for sure wont make it, benzema might

[grim thicket]

oof yesss

unfortunately neither team is at that level anymore

[thin ivy]

True

I love milan too so this game is going to be fun

[grim thicket]

our best players are past their primes, we barely have any "galacticos" and well, stuff happened at milan

[thin ivy]

Benzema i feel like is still in his prime

[plain elbow]

the last time the two faced each other officially was in 2010/11 I think, now this one’s just a friendly.

[grim thicket]

but yeah, we are shifting towards the more young galactico regime

yeah benz for sure in his prime, kroos too

and carvajal

[mighty fox]

hope Milan can do well this UCL season

[thin ivy]

Modric idk. Seeing Chelsea players dribbling past him like a cone was a pain

[mighty fox]

it is their first since 12/13 iirc

[grim thicket]

modric is great, but he's just too old

[thin ivy]

Same i hope they make it past group stage

[grim thicket]

not in his prime 16/17 self anymore

or 17/18

whichever you wanna choose

[mighty fox]

16/17 Madrid was ridiculously op, no team was at their level

[thin ivy]

he can still play a whole half but maybe not the entire 90

[native sandal]

Barca 2017?

[grim thicket]

yep, we literally beat the best defence in europe 4-1....like wtf

[grim thicket]

you would choose '17 barca over '15 barca? rlly?

[lavish wagon]

No way man

[mighty fox]

Barca won the game at Bernabeu which was a pretty impressive victory
but in 16-17, I see no team that topped Real

I mean, there were some polemics against Bayern on the second leg but yea

[native sandal]

m just saying 2017 barca was as good as 17 madrid

[grim thicket]

nah man

[plain elbow]

16/17 was kind of crap for us

[grim thicket]

17 madrid was a treble squad....except for danilo

[mighty fox]

2017 Barca defence was a mess tbh

[grim thicket]

danilo ruined it for us

those 3 years, madrid were literally untouchable, the kings of europe

[thin ivy]

2021 defense cant ever be beaten. marcelo, gutierrez, nacho and odriozola

[mighty fox]

16-17 was the best of the 3 Madrids who won the UCL imo (even though they were almost the same team)

[grim thicket]

yep

15/16 was the start of it all, and 17/18 was the conclusion, with ronaldo leaving

[mighty fox]

15-16 was pretty intense too
17-18... meh...

[grim thicket]

17/18 was actually asensio's year imo

even though he played a lot in 16/17 too

[thin ivy]

Guys what if Alaba is Hazard 2.0 wtf do we do?

[grim thicket]

he was scoring all those bangers left and right

[grim thicket]

well, that was my prediction when we signed him early on....hope im wrong

[mighty fox]

buy another CB

[grim thicket]

but i wasnt wrong about hazard

oh btw

apparently we are looking at bastoni too for the future

but, its onefootball, so not a legit source

[plain elbow]

I don’t see madrid signing another CB this summer.

[grim thicket]

oh yeah not this summer

[thin ivy]

Yeah we wont

[thin ivy]

Why not Barella

[grim thicket]

i dont think we are signing anybdy this summer unless haaland or mbappe says they wanna come to madrid for 20m

[thin ivy]

We could barely sign a player for a position we really need what more defense lmao

[grim thicket]

coz we have fede, and they are similar players

[thin ivy]

Isnt bastoni the same

[grim thicket]

noo bastoni is a cb

[plain elbow]

only time will tell whether militao-alaba are a good fit.

[thin ivy]

or is he a regista type

oh lol i thought he was cm

[grim thicket]

lol no no, the cms at inter to look at are barella and sensi imo

but we dont need either

[mighty fox]

Barella is interesting to keep an eye out for the future

[grim thicket]

we have a good strong core of young cms in ode and fede, and if we are able to sign camavinga, and ceballos decides to stay as a backup, that would be golden

imo eventually odegaard can suit himself into the kroos role, even tho he plays more attacking now

[mighty fox]

not just a great mid but can also play false 9

[thin ivy]

is ceballos good?

[grim thicket]

and even if he doesnt, i wouldnt say no to a camavinga fede double pivot

[grim thicket]

good enough as a backup imo

ofc his stock isnt as high as it was when he joined us from betis

but he can be a decent backup option, along with blanco

[thin ivy]

We stocked on mids

thats why i really think we might play 3atb

or 44

442

[grim thicket]

we are stocked at mid....but not at cb

as of now

Madrid downgrading their defense? We culés welcome it !!

[native sandal]

Ifkr lmao, dude's such an attention hoe lately

[thin ivy]

Lol

[thin ivy]

Pique gotta take his thunder back

[broken bay]

Don't worry, Barca have been steadily downgrading their defense for about 5 years

[native sandal]

Ye but this season we have an experienced Mingueza - Araujo - Garcia

[broken bay]

Garcia is shit though lol

[native sandal]

Let me guess, he has played the whole Euros with Spain, didn't he?

[inland hound]

"Experienced" ??

[broken bay]

I watched him play in the prem, and he was shit whenever he did lol

[native sandal]

Yes, experienced, last season was their first season in the first team and they did decently well. ( Apart from Longlame ( Lenglet ) ).
This season they should be performing better + we probably signing another CB if Umtiti / Lenglet leaves the club

[native sandal]

Damn why has Luis Enrique called him for the NT, and how did he perform decently in the Euros, maybe he did progress after all

[broken bay]

Or maybe Enrique had limited options, and you're fooling yourself into hoping you signed a decent defender because he had one good tournament

[inland hound]

1 season all started Calm Down

[native sandal]

We signed him for free, 0 cons of having him in the first team

[broken bay]

The fact you signed a 20 year old on a free is not a good thing, unless he improves greatly at Barca. The fact that a team let a 20 year old walk away for free just means they were desperate not to have him anymore 😂

[native sandal]

Lmao he actually rejected a contract extension with city, you're making your own conclusion with is funny af

[broken bay]

My conclusion is that he's shit

[native sandal]

He's a masia prospect, ofc he wants to come back to his team

[native sandal]

Not as shit as Lenglet, big W

[inland hound]

??

Legnet>Garcia

[broken bay]

I think it's more that City has a good defense and doesn't need him, while Barca would be better off with a postman at the back over Lenglet

[broken bay]

Lenglet is the worst defender at any champions league club

[gilded mist]

no?

there are definetly worse defenders than lenglet

[inland hound]

Legnet clear of Garcia

cuz i don't want to be disappointed in the future

[slate kayak]

No1 has watched Garcia cos he's barely played

[fading ember]

Yeah.

[slate kayak]

Can't be worse than long legs tho

[fading ember]

He was fine at the euros gotta give him that in the three games he played.

But barely played at city so

[fading ember]

True

Maybe in ball playing he maybe worse than him

Because at ball playing lenglet is actually good.
