or that’s what he gets for wasting a golden opportunity to put his side 2 up at the Bernaneu

How good was he? He terrorised that Bayern defence. It has gotten to a point now where you question if Mbappe is really a necessary signing for Madrid. Because Vinicius is going from strength to stengthb

Bit of a rubbish final in the end. It’ll be a cake walk for Real. Even if Dortmund were to get in front it wouldn’t be long before Madrid were getting some bogus decision to help them out. But given Dortmund got their by the skin off their teeth against PSG and are 5th in the Bundesliga, I...

Getting ridiculous calls in their favour year after year has to help too.

Who cares about ages though? Players hit different heights at different times, some peak faster than others. For example Rooney and Owen were doing more impressive things as teenagers.

someone further up the page was surprised at saying he doesn’t come through in the big games. But here it was again, it doesn’t make sense to talk about curses etc when he’s had a great chance to bury Madrid and just made a mess of it. Didn’t even hit the target, in a run of the mill league game...

That chance he had at 1-0 will surely haunt him. To not even hit the target is so poor.

He was really terrible again. Surely one of the worst buys of the season.

I love how you keep repeating that as if it makes those form any less terrible :lol:

Surely he needs to contribute something massive to that and not just a couple of penalties? Think he’s been pretty crap in the big games this season. Story of his career, great until serious pressure and expectation comes.

One things for sure, in a big league where he’s not got a team streets ahead of the rest, he’s always going to be sussed pretty quickly. It’s already happened at Spurs, teams have worked out how to play them.

Can’t be anything more ridiculous than suggesting the Copa was held every other year and the entire thing organised just to give one player the chance to win an international trophy.

I’ve literally just explained it in the post you quoted. Because it’s idiotic, the idea is to finish with as many points as possible, not to play gung-ho attacking football every week at the expense of a greater points total. The fact he gets lauded for things other managers get berated for is...

I still can’t work out why people continue to blow smoke up his ample backside. Does all the “mate” crap really work that well? Because nothing he’s doing is really any more than what you’d expect for the club he’s at and the squad he has. Everyone loves to watch gung ho football, unfortunately...

I don’t know if he’s already decided he’s leaving or what, but I have to say in the last couple of games he hasn’t exactly looked like a player who’s busting a gut for his team. It feels to me like he’s somewhat thrown in the towel.
