In my native language some commentators often say that the pass is "not precise" everytime it doesn't reach the target. This is irritating because often it has nothing to do with the pass itself, but with the movement of the receiver who didn't pick up the passer's intent fast enough (or the...

The rule of thumb is that you form an opinion based on extensive observation and then try to support it with stats. Stats shouldn't be the main factor in forming opinions. Having said that, stats can be main factor in debunking opinions. The reason why is that it's the fastest way. Normally...

So he's pulling a reverse Lukaku here? Brilliant.

Neuer at his peak was also a beast at 1v1 situations. In fact, watching him regularly convinced me that 1v1 situation is far from being free goal and made me stop condemning every offensive player for every missed 1v1.

You guys just don't understand that standards for being top striker have changed since the 90s. Stop spending so much time inside your EPL information bubble and look around. EDIT: Actually you don't have to look around - just look at Haaland and realize that you have completely different...

Meanwhile Kane ghosted UCL group with Marseille, Sporting and Eintracht Frankfurt. Then ghosted knockout phase against Milan. I'd say he has a lot to prove everywhere outside of EPL.

Exactly. I think people underrate how much that means. If you lose this "top club" status once, it's very tough to reclaim it. It might take you a decade. Or two. Or forever. Last summer the whole world was laughing at Barcelona for pulling levers, but I honestly understood why they were doing...

Voice of reason here. By the way, I missed the point when people started thinking, that Kane had great 22/23 season. What exactly did he do in CL? What did he do at World Cup? Or virtually anywhere outside of random league games? From my POV there's actually a very good chance he flops in...

And then their corner hits the first man anyway 50% of the time :D

Most overrated striker I know. If he played today, he would be Aguero level at best. Nobody in their right mind would call him the best ever. Romario was twice the striker he was.

All or Nothing: Manchester City. Season 2 coming up in 2023!

It should be played on a stone bridge under full moon, and the ground under the bridge should be filled with spikes, so that when you're uppercutted on the bridge you fall down and get impaled. The viewerships would skyrocket (or should I say - "have a spike"?). And the new CL anthem would be...

Somebody should tell him that football is a team game :D

Please no. One Haaland is already one too many :D

Uhmmm... Have you seen Lewandowski play football? Serious question. Haaland is closer to Lukaku than to Lewandowski. Lewandowski is way too technical, has way too much finesse to his play, and is able to do way too much outside of a penalty area to be compared to Haaland. I'm not saying that...
