Morata missed the ball inches away from the goal basically. He was probably offside though. Juventus won again, is 1st in the group.
You talking about the Ipswich v Wycombe match?
I was going to go tonight, but can't be standing in the cold when my nose is running all the bloomin' time...
What an intense, incredible match. Madrid played incredible, but you really musn't underestimate PSG. Two mistakes cost us the victory, and we nearly lost.
If Bale had scored that free kick in the last minute... He was so close!!!

People have said that of a lot of keepers for about 2 decades. But since Buffon was alive and well it didn't happen :P
De Gea undoubtedly was reaching that point for a number of years as he singe handily kept things less embarrassing for United. Now look at how we don't even get those glorious de Gea saves like we used to :(
PSG's winter mercato is all about defense. Leonardo has made it very clear.
still don't rate tuchel. and unless you are buying an entire backline? i don't see it. the only senior player is thiago silva, and he's a headcase.
Koulibaly is Leonardo's main target
Along with Malcom and Eriksen (but those are offensive picks with Neymar potentially leaving after this season)
in january? that'd be some transfer. btw, selling n'kunku that's some high level idiocy.
Yes and no
It allowed them to get Gueye, Sarabia,Navas, Icardi, Herera and others by selling a number of young players.
Kurzawa, Draxler and Meunier are also on Leonardo's short list
I've been playing Football Manager 19 for the last few weeks, and it's rekindled a fondness for football, which I haven't really followed in a long time. Decided to look at the table just now.....wtf am I looking at. Wolves, Sheff Utd and Burnley in the top 10? Arsenal and Man U have played 13 but only won 4 games?
Anyways...I'm currently reading a fantastic book I thought worth recommending: Zonal Marking by Michael Cox. A fascinating insight into how European teams transitioned from one style of tactic to another through the decades. Chapter one was about Dutch Total Football, chapter two was Italian defensive Catenaccio, and I'm currently up to chapter three charting the rise of the French post-1998. Lots of gems and nuggets of info, not just on tactics but the personalities of the sport.

Fuck this, whats this bollocks?
I want Jose the bastard not whatever this shit is
OP
OP
think getting koulibaly over the line in january is going to be next to impossible. sure you sold a bunch of young players, n'kunku should not have been one of them. icardi is a loan deal, herera came on a free (and has barely played) gueye is a good buy, eventhough he's almost 30.
and malcom? the guy who is slumming it in russia who can't even buy a few minutes per game? that malcom?
Yes that Malcom
And yes I'm puzzled too.
Icardi is a loan with a 65 million buying option and that loan was the first step into replacing Cavani
As for Herera, well, he's injured (shit happens)
Oh just give it some time, we'll get that Mourinho to show up before you know it. Don't forget it always starts like this. I can't wait for the honeymoon phase to end and the fireworks to begin.
by all account malcom is another alex texiera, that's not gonna end well. aye, i know that icardi came with a buy option. think it's very brave if you attempt to build around icardi though given his past.
for nkunku it was the best thing that could have happened probably, getting a coach like nagelsmann to develop him further. but trust me, that kid is a future world beater. herera is a good squad player, i rate herera.
but like you need fullbacks, you need a playmaker and a motor for your middfield, due to how injury prone verratti is.
getting sarabia in was great business, navas is good aswell. he's a line gk though so his whole style is built on his exellent reflexes, so he'll be one of those gk's that is just all of a sudden gonna be trash over night. it won't even be gradual, it'll be like he all of a sudden fell off a cliff.
who was it you bought from bvb? i forget if it was akanji or diallo (i think it was diallo right?) who knows about him. i don't think kimpembe is ever gonna be what people thought he would a few years back.

I'll take the 2-2, we've improved tons since the start of the season cause at least now out attack is starting to work.
wonder what's happened with courtois, he's only 27 so his reflexes should not be an issue already. could be as simple as he doesn't feel secure what so ever when he's being protected by a line like rm have.
and i mean the courtois that atleti had and who went back to chelsea? that guy was a maverick. both those teams had backlines who were alot more solid though.

It was Diallo. He has potential. More potential anyway than poor Paredes
aye he has potential. but if we look at say the last six years, what talent have psg actually developed from prospects to really solid players? your academy produces a metric ton of talent, but there really doesn't seem to be structure in place at elite level to develop this talent. kurzawa was unbelivably good playing for monaco, and then he went to psg and fell off the map after a few good months.
same for really young players that you buy, that's personally why i think you are struggling making it far in the champions league for instance.
