Ahh that makes sense. I was about to ask who the bloke with the beard was. A quick Google says yes, yes it is.
I had to Google check myself first as well because I thought he might just be the M&S version of Robbie Savage.

We need reinforcements. Just don't have the quality upfront when we have a few injuries

Guys like Correa and Felix would be menaces at more offensive clubs. It's so strange as to why those techno-twink 9.5's join Atleti

His reading of the game is second to none in the backline. He's been far and away the best CD at the club in pre-season.
Better to judge how good he's been based on a clip of that one miss placed pass earlier with clown music played over it.

I just hope we get Benjamin Sesko. I always believed the Fergie part where it's always beetter to stack the attack rather than feel sorry if we get injuries.

You could have scrolled past?

Either way, Bruno will remain not very good for me and you guys won't convince me otherwise. Best to just go about your day.
Hard to scroll when it's constantly being spoken about by you
I'm not trying to convince you of anything. Just stating a fact, that your opinion is a terrible and silly one.
Now go have a great day indeed. :)

I'd be really concerned if we don't sign a couple attackers. The options behind Sancho and Martial are far too weak

I know people will say it's only pre season but there are no signs we have anywhere near enough quality in attack to finish in the top half.

I genuinely worry that rashford and martial have peaked and are on their way down as players. We need to replace these two and have someone to rotate Ronaldo too. Good luck ETH, you are going to need a miracle with this squad.

:lol: yeah we have struggled getting into the top half a lot of the time. Silly statement

Yeah we've gone down a gear it seems. Not sure what it's down to.
With all these changes, I suspect it will improve hopefully.
We have a little. The players are probably (wisely) conserving energy for the game in a couple of days.

I think we've been the better side in this game without creating many chances. Then again, you don't expect to be creating many chances against Simeone's Madrid.

We need to remember this is Atletico. City in all their glory could only muster up 1 goal over 2 legs last season.

While I expected at least a goal, this ended 0-0 will not be surprising one bit. It would also still be considered an improvement for us :lol: baby steps.

Top half? Hahahahaha

We finished top 6 without a manager with the team at war with itself.

Jesus Christ. We will easy be top half. Erik will have us in and around top 4. We may sneak in we may miss out but things will get better now.
