Say what you want about Mou and his antics, he one of the most successful managers of all time

No one is arguing this, but he’s been a shell of himself since the end of the second stint at Chelsea.

Didn’t he win trophies at united tho?

And United fell off since he left no? Didn’t he have them in 2nd or whatever?

Don’t ask questions you know the answer to. Yes, he won trophies but we all know they weren’t very prestigious ones.

Ole has the team in 2nd place as well right now and a single point off of Mou's best point total at OT during his 2nd year when they finished runner up too with 5 games left in the league

Also on track to match his Europa title, no domestic cup yet though but made a few semi's all while not alienating his best players and creating a toxic environment around the club

 

[QU!K]

Spurs might have won a title at if they didn’t can him as well.

If he wins anything at Roma it would be impressive.

I don't like what nike did with the liverpool kit

Liverpool 21-22 Home Kit Released

The new Liverpool 21-22 home kit was just officially released by the club and Nike - it's the brand's second since taking over from New Balance last summer.

Mbappe out of today's match.

He'll start on the bench apparently but still in the squad



Doubt he would've traveled to Manchester if he was 100% out

Gonna be Lannisterinho's time to shine from the jump

 

[Belgium]

I wish both of these clubs could lose but I guess I'll support Poch.

This is just me being speculative but I bet Ansu’s father went to the Portuguese National Team medical staff for advice/answers because he’s pissed at Barcelona.

I know I would be.

Coupé It Barcelona’s team doctor isn’t the one operating on Ansu Fati. It’s common sense that squads don’t have surgeons on pay roll.
you are loud wrong again.
The surgeon is actually a world famous surgeon who has operated on athletes from all sports and different clubs. He’s just from Barcelona.
you can’t be this dense.

Barca has actually sent Ansu to be seen by different top surgeons in the world. They are all consulting each other. This isn’t football...in medicine they work together. The problem with Ansu’s meniscus is a rare one where he actually has cyst that has grown on it.

Don’t listen to coupe guys this fool doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Going to chime in here but just to re-iterate there is no way a top level orthopedic surgeon would basically be an exclusive team doc.

To give an example, Dr. Kelly in NY (who also did Sturridge’s hip surgeries) operates on the general public and simultaneously holds these positions: “Head Team Physician for the New York Rangers, Orthopedic Consultant for UFC, Associate Team Physician for the New York Giants, the New York Red Bull's MLS team, and several collegiate teams in the tristate region.”

So even if the Portuguese team doc were supposed to be the one doing Ansu’s surgery, it would have nothing to with anything other than he’s good with a big reputation. People travel across continents to see high level docs. Traveling to a neighboring country isn’t anything significant. Ansu would be another patient fit into an insanely busy booking schedule. But yea an orthopedic surgeon wouldn’t just be wasting his ability as an exclusive NT doc. I’d argue that it’s borderline unethical to be that talented, in practice, and not be filling a need for people because you’re waiting to see if Quaresma hurts his ankle doing a trivela.

I actually know most of this, I don’t think the Portugal NT doctor is on standby waiting for a Quaresma ankle injury - Jape just can’t handle any sort of Barcelona criticism, objectivity is thrown out the window.

What I “speculated” was due to the fact that Fati has gone to the Barcelona/Pep “go-to” surgeon Dr. Ramon Cugot, for 3 separate meniscus surgeries in 6 months - all unsuccessful…..He and his family may have had enough.

He recently went to see specialists in France recently too instead of sticking with Barca’s medical team’s “go to guy” - and now he’s suddenly going to Portugal.

That’s what’s odd and concerning. Is it seriously out of the realm of possibilities that Fati and his parents don’t trust Barça’s medical team when it comes to this particular circumstance?

Henry......miss watching him play. Pure artist

 

[MetalMario]

Long lost king Balotelli went to America for his eye surgery.

but anyway the news of UEFA allowing to bring 26 players to the euros in case any get covid is funny. Do you strategise for the starting XI or do you strategise for which player is likely going out for local yambs and gonna catch something and new a replacement?

Icardi back

 

[Coupé It]

Icardi back

Mbappe on the bench, the only good thing I see from this is that he’s not missing the game completely.

This could be a career defining game for Icardi. If he doesn’t play well PSG will surely get rid of him and Icardi will be somewhere in Italy next year playing for a mid-table club.

 

[Armada]

Same lineup as last week except row changed but the two where expected.

PSG play better with their back against the wall than when they in the drivers seat.

hopefully the guys are ready no mental mistakes today

 

[flyeed]

I know I’m supposed to be neutral but I’m rooting for PSG. Has nothing to do with Real possibly advancing either. Just like them more, even though City might be the superior squad.

Hoping to see some Neymar magic
