Like said before he was the one who mastered all type of FK from every distance and every angles. I litteraly never saw him had a shit free kick, always a dangerous shot or at least the shot was decent but the wall did a good job. He was a very good football player. I remember when he came to...

Honestly as of now, any fullback in this team that is not playing with Jadon Sancho on his side will not be looking competent offensively. I find Dalot pretty average but I still keep my judgment on him as I'm pretty sure 98% of fullbacks in football history would look as average. How many...

I'm absolutely baffled at how shit De Gea is with feet given how top class keepers can be at least decent in this aspect... Like if I'm striker and I'm pressing I would pressure him into playing on his wrong foot like I genuinely believe he wouldnt even be able to just hoof it up. As for his...

This game reminds me of the Lennox Lewis trainer telling him : "just jab, jab the motherf*cker, the simpliest shit in the book". Real Madrid didnt do anything special just grits, an appetite for pressing (even lost causes), occupation of the whole width, good subs that unlocked Modric... Then...

The passing from the back is absolutely disgusting. The main problem is that I felt Varane tried to give some momentum through his passing but any feck up, bam, the whole defence became cowards again and nobody has any sort of confidence. Pogba and Fred utter shit at finding decent angles to...

Apparently from Romain Molina (reliable french journalist) when Monaco was in the process of being fired Kovac and Newcastle was just bought, Mitchell positionned himself for a DoF position to Saudis. I guess he saw the shortcomings of a club like Monaco which is essentially selling market...

Just a friendly remainder about leaks that a lot of the leaks are from "middle man". Of course clubs, agents and players themselves are briefing journos... But I just want to say there's a loooot of close friends, women, girlfriends, club staff (especially physios that are close to players)...

Rashford reminds me of Cavani, in the way as long as it's direct and simple he can be absolutely lethal. But in a typical 2 vs 1 situation he's probably not one of those player I would count on. If I was a defender I would dare him to pass the ball because he still not have the consistency and...

Happy for him. A true workhorse and what seems a top top professional. He's a proper "old school" center forward, love his capacity to always try being the one running in the box rather than being there with no possibility to make a run.

I totally concur with what you say. I might add IMHO that he's more about pace than movement/intelligence (even tough the movement part is still there but less) since he's in PSG. I remember his season at Monaco, he seemed to me more intelligent with his off ball movement and runs (tools and...

Thiago Silva and Cavani aren't renew, so it's done for them in PSG but it's not like it's a surprise for anybody. Also Aouchiche and Kouassi (2 highly touted youngsters) are leaving. Some tweets from Romain Molina (which is like Tier 0 imo), about this subject and many things going wrong in...

Emmanuel Petit Fundamental element for a very good Monaco side in the 90's, start of Wenger's Arsenal and one of the best NT ever (France 98-2000). The best french player in 1998 WC for Aimé Jacquet, favourite midfield partner for Patrick Vieira. I think Petit has the same profile as David...

Yes it's true that at that time he was heavily injury prone and it was really a main concern. It's funny how 10 years later we don't talk about it anymore but the slightest tackle where Messi was holding his leg, Barca fans were on life support. I think Quaresma thought he could be the 5th...

I agree with you, looks like poor keeping but Eto'o was very subtle to shoot it very quick and at the unexpected angle. Let's say a world class keeper like VDS might have save it. However the goal of Messi in the 2011 final is poor keeping for someone of VDS class.

I like Rafa Marquez. It's just that he was not very good during the end of Rijkaard era from what I remember. Like we all know Xavi is one of the best ever, but people after 2 poor seasons in 2008 people were doubting. Anyway let's be clear all the players I talked about are some of the...
