Evra sure has a way with words, haha. That about sums it up. Evra was very fast and had a great engine but that guy Valencia was made out of God knows what. I remember when Ribéry was 25 and by far the fastest player at Bayern. Then Robben arrived and Ribéry looked "slow" in comparison...

Valencia, although much more a perfect work horse like Zanetti, was the last one for Manchester United right? Can't remember anyone else for United to be honest. Evra was very good but more like Lahm, a LB with overlap but not capable of owning the whole flank. Neville falls into the same...

I can absolutely understand why Real want him, unfortunate for us supporting Bayern. Davies is like Roberto Carlos or Maicon, absolutely rapid and can own a whole wing on his own. On a personal level I believe this will be good for him. He has mentioned being quite alone, almost depressed, and...

EXTRA 15 he said. In other words if Gnabry as a CF is good for 15 then Kane is good for 30, an extra 15.

It's alright. Bayern fans are some of the hardest Bayern critics. We are also an honest bunch. Not necessarily right all the time but we usually call is as we see it. The problem is the rot starts from every direction this time. - Almost nothing is really stable apart from CM with Kimmich -...

Too slow according to Tuchel who said he wanted runners like Coman and Sane.

Dumbest thing I've heard all week. In the past 25 years 99 - Final 01 - Winners 10 - Final 12 - Final 13 - Winners 20 - Winners This is all about City being good. But it should be noted Bayern being a mess on and off the pitch. - Fired Nagelsmann with it all still to play for. - At risk of...

No different than Bale at counter attacking Real Madrid. It's a great asset to have. Both could pick up defences as well but their main threat was to keep opposing defences honest. Keep in mind Sane was 17-18 back then and has developed his skill set tremendously since.

I think it's best to hunt together in this game as both teams are doing with focus on closing passing lanes. Everyone out there is international, world or elite class. He would just deplete his stamina and disjoint the side otherwise. Totally agree about Bayern lacking a striker. I've been...

Well, one is a striker and the other is a SS/RW. Bayern truly shot themselves in the foot by not buying a proper CF post Lewandowski. Mane is not a striker either nor is Müller. It doesn't matter how many coaches try it, within 15 minutes it's clear as say no need to persist for months. He is...

Key points so far - Musiala press together with Gnabry as CFs. 4-2-4. - de Bruyne press together with Haaland as CFs. 4-4-2. - Gündogan is quietly having a very good game. Seems to have mastered Fabregas role in Barcelona as a CM/CF hybrid that get forgotten - Sane and Coman are playing as...

Bojan Djordjic is known to be one of the whiniest pundits in Sweden. He is also known to be aggressive, he doesn't speak in a normal sense of tone. It's like Neville and Keane rolled up in one. The manager had felt pressure for a while, especially after losing 0-3 to Belgium the other day. Now...

Marco Reus. 2 DfB cups (FA Cup) 3 German supercups 0 World Cups (injured 2014) 0 Euros 0 Bundesliga (joined 2012/13 and missed back to back leagues in 2010/11, 2011/12) Bloody shame for someone that could have been a top 5 Ballon d'Or player any given year. On the level of Hazard, Ribery...

True, Joe Jordan is in there for 350.000. Ossie Ardiles, World Champion for 335.000. What happened between 1978 and 1979?! That's double the record in just 1 year.
