OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Rodri wins 2024 Ballon d’Or

[flyeed]

It’s insane that UEFA and other sporting organizations haven’t issued bans. But we all know why. This is what happens when you let people murder without impunity and under the guise of being god’s chosen people. But here’s also what happens when they aren’t indiscriminately bombing from planes or sniping children in the head.

I don’t see why he don’t do this

Then drop Jude back when you have to take off Modric.

Vini doesn’t want to play on the right and is way less effective on the right and he just got “close” to winning a golden ball on the left. Not to mention winning the double and has accomplished more in club football than mbappe. He shouldn’t have to move to the right.

Also the problem with this is balance. Losing Jude’s work rate in the midfield leaves this midfield More wide open than it already is. Camavinga is not a dm and neither is valverde. Modric can’t chase anyone down. They played with - flat 4 midfield against Barca and got cut open with ease. A diamond shape just makes the flanks so much more vulnerable

can someone tell me how good that gyokeres kid really is?
apparently, he's legit on deco and flick's radar.




and arsenal have 0 away goals in the CL.
Arsenal still look like they can haram ball their way to a W against any side but lets say arsenal fall short of the prem and get knocked out early in the CL.
what happens to Arteta? he's had a long stint.

Ever since he became manager there’s been consistent progress season over season. That’s the biggest thing for me. I would be wary of getting rid of Arteta. He definitely does have his flaws tho. Going into this season my thoughts were that he has this season and next to win something and keep progressing.

Yea they’ve been in bad form for like 7-10 games but it happens, just sucks that it coincided with city being in bad and couldn’t capitalize on it, and it prob ruined our chances for the PL this season already

Look I don’t think coaches should have trophy or bust standards but he’s been there a long time and yall don’t really play great football either considering the financial backing he’s getting.

I just think yall should be planning for someone to come take over. Gotta be proactive with these things.

 

[jape]

Damn just seen the Madrid score. Is mbappe playing? He’s gotta be tight seeing vini bag another hattrick

 

[vtotheinay]

jamal what a goal

And Mbappe don’t want to play through the middle.

I agree with you, Vini shouldn’t have to move to the right. At a normal club, Mbappe would not have been brought in, but Madrid gonna Madrid. And for how good Vini is on the left he doesn’t guarantee you a goal a game like Mbappe does. If you remove sentiment and focus solely on the football, I think it makes more sense to have Vini be “bad” on the right than it does to have Mbappe be “bad” through the middle.

Ain’t that the formation they won the league and CL with? Bellingham got “close” to winning a golden ball in that false 9/10 position. He the real loser in all of this.

 

[rolaholic]

He's been on that energy ever since

Back to back MOTM performances with 4 goals over the 2 games

 

[Gex the Damaja]

Always been of the opinion Musiala has a higher ceiling than Bellingham.

can’t mbappe play on the right of your formation? He played on the rw for France and psg. He’s still very effective there but I agree. I think mbappe is a better player than vini as a left forward. For as good as vini is his numbers are pretty pedestrian. He’s a big moment player though






Anyways lol at the Madrid crowd singing ballon d or for vini against osasuna when he just ghosted in the two biggest matches of the season so far for madrid

You’re not alone. Musiala is head and shoulders above Jude imo. They aren’t really a like for like comparison though. Wirtz is a better comparison

Smith-Rowe is better than I remember

He could. If you are going to play him out of position it probably should be on the right. Just don’t know why you would invest all that time and money and not play him where he wants.

Herbie Kane?
Nah I'm suing my parents for that

 

[sfc415]

Madrid fans are too spoiled and impatient. I remember fans calling Modric trash in his first year and saying Jesé was better than Bale.

I’m sure RM and Mbappe will figure it out eventually.
