A40: Costa is popularly known and not a young player just plying his trade. Besides, there's nothing wrong with Costa. First, his team needs to give him the needed creativity which is more or less absent in that Atletico team or happened to be only centered around another goal scorer named Griezman. Secondly, costa isn't your regular hold up play kind of striker that simeone seems to have envisaged as Griezman's partner. Let me remind you that Costa was the defacto SS for Atletico before he left for Chelsea, which means he's the type to need a holdup play kind of striker Infront of him/alongside him. All these have been Costa's main problem at Atletico. It's either he's deployed as the main striker without another baggage (another forward like himself, i.e Griezman) behind him or Costa should be deployed as a SS alongside a hold up play striker. France set up at the world cup is quite different from Atletico set up. France was a counter attacking team like Monaco, not a defensive team like Atletico. They didn't have defensive midfielder such as Rodrigo, Saul in the midfield like Atletico has been doing with these players in their midfield. Instead of what Atletico has in midfield, France had Pogba and even a Matuidi who was prompted to drift into the midfield from the wing whereas Koke keeps the width as directed by Atletico's coach. There's nothing similar between Atletico team and France team nor Atletico and Monaco team. Let that sink in. Atletico team woudn't even score so many goals against big opposition teams unlike Monaco did against City or the way France did against Argentina and Croatia because Atletico is always cautious and compact unlike Monaco or the France team who flies out as soon as they have little possession. And what more? They have the creative player such as Pogba to give them the necessary boost. The only thing these team all have in common is their tendency to leave the possession play to the opposition. Btw, did you know Mbappe has been abject for the France team in the Nation league matches? Why did you think he's been so poor? Because majority of the opposition France have encountered after their world cup tends to give up possession to the France team and as such, the France team are forced to play a possession game which often hinders Mbappe's game. Thank God for Pogba in Mbappe's life, else he would be irrelevant today even as we're thanking God for Verratti, Di Maria and most importantly, the don, Neymar in his life at PSG. The fraud! |

A40: Are you saying Lemar could have displaced Griezman from his role? Lmao. Did you even realise that Griezman was horrible on the wing for Atletico and that was what birthed his transition into the SS role some years back? That Lemar was deployed on the wing shows the trust his coach has in him to deliver better than others who could have played in his place. Even for a world-class touchline winger, a long ball midfielder is required to make him play better. That was why we had Carrick and Scholes in our midfield to give our winger the needed space through their visionary long passes which tends to split the opposition defences and release the wingers. Believe me, this would make it easier for every winger. More reason why Sane seems to do a lot better with David Silva behind him in the midfield. Talking of Sane, he was deployed many times on the right when he came into City newly but was quite horrible until Guardiola discovered his best role being a left touchline winger. I'm sure the Germany coach knows this but he can't seem to give up Muller/Reus/Draxler's left forward role to Sane, a left touchline winger. If I were him, I would go for a 352 setup with Sane as the left wingback, after all Germany don't even have a quality left back to begin with and Sane isn't a slouch when it comes to defending. As for Reus, he is even much more better as a SS. So everyone would get to play in their best position. That's by the way, Mbappe should go sort out his control first before he can lace Lemar boot. |

diadem10:Torres was also a popular player when he returned to Atletico. Problem is he was washed just like Costa and is busy accumulating yellows instead of goals. Who is providing the creativity for Morata who has netted 3 goals since joining end of January. He should be on 5 goals but for VAR yet you are here releasing excuse after excuse. If the team is lacking creativity then that is also part of Lemar's brief which the stats clearly show he is failing woefully diadem10:Costa the one man MOPOL and battering ram? Whether Costa started out as an SS is immaterial. By 2013/2014 season he became the target man. Don't come here and serve us cool zobo! Some of us don tey pass Schnapps for this football game. For the past 4-5 seasons Costa has been playing without any help at CF for club and country for at least 75% of his games. Try another excuse. Why do you think Simeone signed Morata? If Costa does not shape up Morata will be his permanent replacement so if you like continue speaking country grammar diadem10:The difference between a team like France and Atletico is merely speed merchants like Dembele, Lemar, Mbappe etc. Without those guys their personnel and M.O are essentially the same! The difference being Atleti lacking the personnel to transition from defense to attack quickly. Lemar is not a typical Simeone signing. He would rather buy LMs like Vitolo and co. Play a Koke who is more of a box to box mid on the wings than go out to buy an actual winger. Signing a guy like Lemar shows he wanted to try something different Btw in what planet is Saul a DM? Looool. diadem10:The same Atletico that scored 3 at Stamford Bridge? 4 against same Chelsea in the Supercup. Is it not the same Atletico that pumped 4 past Madrid in the Supercup? Stop chatting Dothraki. If you lose guard Atletico will pump goals pass you if need be. Their paucity of goals is more a personnel issue than anything else. Put guys like Mbappe in that squad and goals will flow. Not skirt man like Lemar with his 1 goals and 1 assists diadem10:Abject Mbappe was France's best forward in 2 of France's 4 UNL games. The common denominator however is that your MCM Thomas Lemar did not play for even 5 seconds in France's 360minutes of that competition

diadem10:That's the point. Deschamps, Simeone, Jardim all shunted Lemar from his role. 3 coaches from different nationalities all decided Lemar is not good enough for his preferred role. Does that not tell you he is mediocre at it? Or is he simply cursed? Everyone that watched Griezmann from his Sociedad days knew he was not a true winger. Don't tell me what I know already Captain Obvious diadem10:I don't have time for this your Dothraki. What we have seen from Thomas Lemar is indefensible mediocrity for club and country for the past two seasons no matter who played ahead, behind or beside him diadem10:Müller and Draxler's continued inclusion in that German National team is one of the biggest problems. Löw must summon courage to drop both players, possibly Reus as well as he is always injured and move forward with a completely different footballing philosophy diadem10:I hope you maintain this same energy when Thomas Lemar is on loan at Brighton or sold to Changchun Yatai |

Why should one call a Bailly a confusionist when young failed to hold his position at the opening hour of the match. Young was scared to press high which lead Manchester United keeping High line with 5 players at the back, that wasn't the instruction giving to them. The coach had to make quick substitution bring in Dalot for Baily, return young to his use position then the game changed One thing about football is ,if you get used to particular position and coach gives you instruction to play other way around the more the momentum keeps building there is a probability you will drift back to that position this would likely cause error (most PSG attacker started using our right wing before dalot came on boad). At end of the day Young was above average!!!!!! 2 Likes |

Morale is high, chemistry is tightly bonding, Lads are loving each other, Unity is damn visible to the blind and audible to the deaf. OGS on the Wheel..... Not of a Bus but of a Ferrari! Let's drive with classic to the promised Land. We do not need to play our best legs against a weaker Team like Arsenal. I expect OGS to give full debuts to the Rookies knocking on the Door. Hope to see Greenwood, Chong, Gomez, Garner and Williams collapsing the pyramid of Groundnuts at the Emirates. 9 Likes 1 Share |

The real tactical masterclass... 5-4-1 Defence - Shaw and Dalot fall back to defend, Rashford drifts wide to catch possible clearances from the defence, and stretch the PSG backline. McTominay maintains position to cancel out Veratti. 3-5-2 Attack - Shaw and Dalot push forward on a counterattack, Rashford drifts inside from the wings, Lukaku already at the center as a predator. McTominay still maintains position incase the counter-attack flops. Bailly <=> Dalot Sai OGS. 10 Likes 2 Shares

This victory made me to understand a lot when God is having plans for you. that guy kimpembe was supposed to be redcarded at the first leg but he wasn't and he ended up scoring against my team. I felt bad that day that we were been cheated and Pogba got red carded. I don't know God preseve the guy to bless us in the second leg even if Pogba was on the pitch the second leg it may not happen. they made us a work over and they got punnished for that. kudos to the managerial Viking. babby assassin indeed. 15 Likes |

“Fred – that was probably his breakthrough for us. You can see why we’ve signed him. He’s got the mentality of a Brazilian international, he is a Brazilian international. “He gets on the ball, has no fear and no doubt whatsoever. He used to play in that system at Shakhtar [Donetsk] so it suited him and that’s why we signed him.” - Ole Gunner Solksjaer 6 Likes 1 Share |
