I think Richarlison is better (and he isn't top tier). He can at least stay onside most of the time when making runs and finish o.k.

Didn't Brazil have a lower level player in their 1998 World cup squad or am I imagining it? Think he played against the Netherlands in the SF. Ze Carlos. Not quite an amateur but he mostly played for lower Brazil sides in his career, had never been called up to any squad before 1998 World cup...

Administration must be a cert now. Don't they have to get a golden share off the premier league to start next season so I assume the deadline for that is early July and of course they've still got to meet the FFP requirements for next season so that means selling at least Onana. Haven't seen...

Is it really possible for Arsenal to have 20 + shots v this United team and not win? You are far more clinical in the final third than Liverpool are hence why you're still massively in the race and Liverpool dropped out games ago. Your CBs will eat Hojlund alive aswell. He had a decent scoring...

Think he'd have gone the evening if they'd lost to Coventry. Just being kept for the final and then will be mutual consent the day after.

Did Chelsea target Olise before Palmer last summer? Imagine those two in the same team.... Eze also for them is exactly what Grealish was for us between 2019-21. When he leaves Palace it will be very bad for football if he ends up at Man. City as all the joy will be slowly drained from his play...

He just plays on instinct. Can't take a breath at all. Right at the end of yesterday's game he was through and Vicario was racing out of his box. Could've just taken it round him or even chipped him. Instead it's the usual head right down and blasted the ball straight at him. There was another...

Palace or Fulham if those jobs become available in the future. Maybe Scotland manager if Clarke steps down in next two years.

Martial has hardly rushed back has he knowing he's leaving. Probably same for Varane aswell.

I remember thinking at the time most of the penalty appeals were overblown but looking back at the highlights Chelsea obviously should've had at least one penalty and they were 1-0 up at the time so 2-0 would've been a very strong position to be in to defend if Lampard had converted as he often...

Sterling being dropped permanently helps, wasted so many chances this season when games were in the balance.

Co-incidence they've starting scoring loads of goals with Enzo Fernandez out? He's a fine footballer but feels like the trio of him, Caciedo and Gallagher together is too slow moving the ball up to the forward line. Whereas two of those in a pivot, Palmer as number ten with two quick wide...

Is Allegri too expensive to sack? Been a desperate run of form for them in 2024. Two wins in thirteen league games since Jan 21st. Frosinone win was 90th minute aswell. Also failed to score in six of them aswell. Guess they've just gambled on 5th remaining CL which it has and so they'll take...

Yes I agree. We're the perfect club for where he is in his managerial career. Just as Villareal was coming off PSG and Arsenal not working out as hoped. He also thought that of Newcastle before changing his mind at the last minute. Still young enough to have another crack at a CL contender...

I think Man. City will be less of a machine at the business end than they are now. I mean Guardiola's first season when the squad he inherited was too old and set in their ways they finished 3rd on 78 points. In 19/20 they also "only" got to 81 points (pretty sure they won all but one game after...
