He’s brilliant at that disguised near post finish
You watch him regularly in L1?I hope once he is scoring against La Liga teams weekly rather than only each and every time he meets them in the CL, we'll stop having posts wondering if he somehow regressed these last two years. The guy has more G+A than games played in the competition.
I just read that article and it still doesn't quite say how they clocked that estimated speed. I assume it's from the match last night and they took something over a 30-40 meter sprint (his second goal perhaps?) and extrapolated that to a 100m sprint which is quite flawed in itself? Alas, i'm just curious as to how they compared the 2. One thing's for sure though, Mbappe's pace is phenomenal. I think it was during the WC where he outgassed Kyle Walker as well, iirc.Tweet

None of the GOATs played in the EPL apart from Ronaldo.Shame we'll likely never see him in the premier league
Personally I honestly believe y'all are going to sign Pedri from Barcelona in the next two seasons. Enrique loves him, Pedri likes him too and Barca need the money bad.At least Enrique has some kind of authority (unlike Galtier). While I do agree we need a better manager, I'll take Enrique for a couple of years to break stubborn players a bit before someone with a more modern approach of the game takes over. Then we'll see who's on the market.
I have no idea how they reach that conclusion. His top speed on the park is 36.1km/h. Somebody running a 10.9 for the 100m will hit a top speed of around 38km/h. Usain hit a top speed of 44km/h. Obviously very hard to flow through how fast Mbappe would on a track with the advantage of blocks and spikes compared to the grass.Tweet

It really is a strange one when you consider the fact that he widened his range. He is better with his weaker foot, better away from the goal and in tight spaces and he can comfortable operate as a second or third playmaker. In a strange way, he included the things that he was doing at youth level when he was more of a wide playmaker.The narrative "he has stagnated" is some of the worst wishful thinking around.
Only if they get him. I won't be convinced until that 'comunicado oficial' is out. Still think the PSG ownership has some cards left to play.It really is a strange one when you consider the fact that he widened his range.

Thinking about it Mbappé's development is a strange one, as a youth player he was closer to Sancho in terms of style but out of necessity Jardim had to use him as the main striker early when he was introduced to the team , his actually first roles where as LM/RM in a strict 442/4222. It was a surprise that he managed to immediately be a top player in a "new" role as a old school second striker, though Monaco also moved him to that role at youth level which probably helped(he was playing for the u18-u19 and the senior team when he was 16-17).
I think that Real Madrid will be very happy with him.

Considering it's coming mainly - from what I'm hearing through mates - from PSG fans who actually watch him week in week out, unlike I'm pretty sure most people on here, I don't think it's particularly strange. I only find it interesting because people will necessarily rank him in top 3-5 players in the world without watching more than maybe 10% of his games, but it's absolutely true that when he's on it, he's a frightening proposition. And I think it's likely being at Real could ignite his competitive streak much moreso than being at PSG.It really is a strange one when you consider the fact that he widened his range.

I'd say I'm watching around 2/3rd of his games, and I don't conflate his recent relatively poor performances with his actual qualities.You watch him regularly in L1?
Then you have a different opinion than a lot of fans (not all) that see all of his performances. And that's ok.I'd say I'm watching around 2/3rd of his games, and I don't conflate his recent relatively poor performances with his actual qualities.
no doubt. I personally can't wait to see his partnership with Vini Jr. as a twin striker pair. Even with EndrickIt really is a strange one when you consider the fact that he widened his range.

He’s signed for United. INEOS’s first signing.So is it a done deal he goes to Madrid? Too lazy to read all the stories
Based on 1 game i.e the wc final, people keep regugitating that he is the bpitw; there is one poster, a Real Madrid fan who even started to talk him up as a potential"goat" candidate. Hasn't shown anything to suggest he is indeed the bpitw currenly.Why do people act like it's undebatable that he is the best player in the world?

On 1 game where he is being defended by Montiel a Nottingham Forrest bench player and 40 year old OtamendiBased on 1 game. Hasn't shown anything to suggest he us indeed the bpitw.
Because, nobody is at the same level as him at both the NT and club level.Why do people act like it's undebatable that he is the best player in the world?
Jesus Christ, there are plenty of players I would have before him (if we ignore age).Because, nobody is at the same level as him at both the NT and club level.
There is nothing that he has done at club level that seperates him/elevates him above others.Because, nobody is at the same level as him at both the NT and club level.
I am talking about most valuable players in the world now. Of course, generally speaking, he is not at the same level as someone like Messi.Jesus Christ, there are plenty of players I would have before him (if we ignore age).
Not how this works, he would push those two out of the team.Flopped for 7 years now. Not one of the all time greats. He needs to go to Madrid to win the CL. He won't be the main man there. Vini will be above him but he can support Vini like Rodrygo does.
Disappointing in every knockout tie really. Though I don't remember the Sociedad ties in fairnessDisappointing in both legs.
At the club level, Mbappe had already shined in big games since he was 18 whether it is against City, Real, Juve, Bayern or Barca. And only a few all time greats can rival his NT career. He is unmatched in that regard in the new generation. This is a comparison among the current best players in Europe "now" (Messi is not a part of the comparison due to him kind of quitting and leaving Europe).There is nothing that he has done at club level that seperates him/elevates him above others.
Rodri is much better imo.I am talking about most valuable players in the world now. Of course, generally speaking, he is not at the same level as someone like Messi.
He's clearly the best player in the world right now. Who is better?He absolutely hasn't been the best player in the world this season, not even close. His all-around game has been very disappointing all season, although his stats are excellent. People just don't watch PSG.
Vinicius?He's clearly the best player in the world right now. Who is better?
Rodri? Wirtz? Kane? Bellingham?He's clearly the best player in the world right now. Who is better?
You know that there is always a bias for forwards in these comparisons.Rodri is much better imo.
