He's a baller. They really should build the team around him.Lo Celso has really impressed me.
True. Not a Mourinho player thoughHe's a baller. They really should build the team around him.
Oh he'll be playing as a defensive winger while Dier and Sissoko stink up the middle in a few months no doubtTrue. Not a Mourinho player though
Fixed that for youHe's a baller. They really should buildthe teama stadium around him.
Upamecano was banned for this game and will return for the second leg, the others are injured, not sure how severely.Assume they will be back for the second leg?
This season Upamecano has played so well that someone will will for sure trigger his release clause at €60M, probably Bayern.All 3 of their first choice centre-backs (Konate, Upamecano, Orban). Upamecano has arguably been the best centre-back in Germany this year.
Jose interview is more worrying for me. Proper United style but a season too early. There's going to be issues I feel.Still plenty to play for, didn't see much to worry about once we started putting them under pressure in the second half. Fingers crossed we can get a result in Germany.
I haven't seen it yet, we clearly need players though so this summer is going to be make or breakJose interview is more worrying for me. Proper United style but a season too early. There's going to be issues I feel.
This. The Pogba gate at Spurs.This is going to unsettle Alli, team-tensions on their way
YesAre we out already?
They could equally argue that in your good spell, you didn't look all that threatening.Still plenty to play for, didn't see much to worry about once we started putting them under pressure in the second half. Fingers crossed we can get a result in Germany.
Very passive aggressive. He's really angry about the squad and injuries which makes you think he can't be happy with the January window.I haven't seen it yet, we clearly need players though so this summer is going to be make or break
You can quote me.And @Pexbo said Mourinho would win the CL this season....
Damn I thought it was two legs. Jose out
Wasn't quite his Utd post match Sevilla interview, where looking back he should have been sacked there and then, but it wasn't very good if you support Spurs.I haven't seen it yet, we clearly need players though so this summer is going to be make or break
Honestly don't think we will see the real situation until next season. This year is all about salvaging something.Very passive aggressive. He's really angry about the squad and injuries which makes you think he can't be happy with the January window.
The game tonight reminded me of how he was with United though. You had one chance from open play which was a header well over the bar from Lucas. It's not good for a big CL night at home and I'm sure not what you were all dreaming of in the new stadium? I get the injuries but it's the unwillingness to have a go. I'm not being an arse by the way just saying how I see and from experience.
I'll have it you're in a shit moment but surely the first 60 minutes of that game at home were unacceptable and could have been avoided? I dunno man. We can just see the similarities. I don't hate Jose like some but when he gets something in his head he's hard work.Honestly don't think we will see the real situation until next season. This year is all about salvaging something.
OKYou can quote me.
No go on, quote me please.
Jose is a great appointment. Think he will win the CL with Spurs this season.
Was no worse than the shit served up by Poch in the last year. The squad clearly needs a total refresh and it's going to take time. We were poor tonight but it happens. Not going to get too excited about it as we are still in the tie.I'll have it you're in a shit moment but surely the first 60 minutes of that game at home were unacceptable and could have been avoided?

Well feck
Do you need him though? And having already spent a good amount of money on Lucas Hernandez and Pavard? You've got Sule, Lucas Hernandez, Pavard and Alaba (who has played the majority of the games as a centre-back this season with the emergence of Davies). Boateng is going to leave, right?This season Upamecano has played so well that someone will will for sure trigger his release clause at €60M, probably Bayern.
It will also free up their wingbacks/fullbacks who had to play CB today.Upamecano was banned for this game and will return for the second leg, the others are injured, not sure how severely.
Depends on what Flick or a new coach wants. Back 3 or 4. Bayern have been playing Boateng and Alaba as CBs for months now. So they might feel that switching Boateng for Upamecano is a sound decision.Do you need him though? And having already spent a good amount of money on Lucas Hernandez and Pavard?

Whilst I agree that replacing Boateng with Upamecano would be sound business for them, where does that leave Pavard and Lucas Hernandez? Particularly the former is still more of a centre-back than a full-back IMO, even if he has done well as a right-back.Depends on what Flick or a new coach wants. Back 3 or 4.

I really, really rate Upamecano but we don't really need him, no.Do you need him though? And having already spent a good amount of money on Lucas Hernandez and Pavard?

I'd rather see him join you guys than any of our rivals.I really, really rate Upamecano but we don't really need him, no.
What you said is true. Boateng will probably leave but this leaves us with what was planned to be our CB pairing this year (Hernandez+Süle), Pavard and Alaba who is doing a fantastic job since he is playing as a CB.
Alphonso Davies is the biggest surprise of our season, his development is absolutely amazing. So it is very well possible that Alaba will still be a CB next season.
On top of that Upamecano is basically the same player type as Süle with the same strengts but also the same weaknesses. On the one hand they are absolute units but for their size very fast. Both have a good tackling and are good in the air.
But on the other hand both don't have a very good build-up play (but I'm still used to Hummels and Boateng so I'm a bit spoiled in this regard) and they have some problems with small and quick attackers due to their physique.
I think Upamecano will join the PL and will become one of the best CBs in the league in 1 or 2 years.
Basically I agree with you. Though, with Boateng gone next season they really might want another CB. Parvard is playing really well at FB and they need him there as Kimmich will stay in midfield were he is simply irreplaceable. That leaves just Hernandez, Süle, and Alaba at CB, with Alaba actually being the number one left back, were Davis is probably still rather his backup, at least in big matches. And Hernandez appears to be really injury prone. Hence, I would buy Upamecano even with his limited technique as he would form with Sule probably the fastest CB duo in Europe! Would love to see that!I really, really rate Upamecano but we don't really need him, no.

But not equal to missing both Kane and Son - two of the very best forwards in the world.Leipzig were playing without 2 of their best players as well.
I'm not going to do this again. Kane is one of the best forwards, Son isn't.But not equal to missing both Kane and Son - two of the very best forwards in the world.
What if we tell you that it was all 3 first choice center backs? And they were forced to play their 2 starting wing backs at center back because of it?But not equal to missing both Kane and Son - two of the very best forwards in the world.
Too much money. Hopefully this is where Pogba ends up (unless he turns it around here).At what point do PSG's biggest talent decide to want to move elsewhere because it must get old at some of having no real competition in the ligue 1 when winning the league every season and the constantly falling in the early knockout stages of the champions league which I think will happen again against Dortmund.
