It's not a draw. Assuming none of the four qualify automatically the ties are:
He'll do that every 10 games and people will wank off at it. He's ineffective the rest 9 out of 10.
Because that's what we trully are and Brzęczek is. We're 11 against 10 for good 30 minutes of the game, playing better than Portugal ever since they scored and he won't even bring Piątek, who's been off-form but so has been Milik, to give ourselves a chance, instead he'll keep useless Zieliński. Reluctance to do changes was what typified Smuda. And that's just for the starters, overall Brzęczek is not good enough and we're about to see a pretty huge decline of our NT, which won't be solely on him. I'm starting to believe that Nawałka was not all that either, just sort of lucky to have all the core players of our NT (Fabiański whom he overlooked for cuntsny, Piszczek, Kuba, Lewy, Krychowiak, even meme players like Mączyński, Pazdan or Jędzejczyk) in forms of their lifes. Once their forms dropped off (Piszczek who later retired, Kuba, Lewandowski too, steep fall from grace from Krychowiak, Jędza, Pazdan and Mączyński), we've witnessed our true face at the WC.Hands off Smuda. Produced the most exciting Polish team club football in Poland has seen in the last 25 years or soBTW why do you say so just after a commanding away performance?
Hopefully they will so we can get NeymarNeymar and Mbappe both injured
PSG going to the Europa League would be hilarious and probably deserved too given the group performances so far.
I'm not saying Brzęczek is the right guy but it's just like the moment for criticism seems weird. Mixed feelings about him. He can go and outplay Italy and Portugal away only to play like bunch of drunk university graduates against the very same teams at home and deservedly lose. And yes, he's terribly unlucky to come at this point in time. Every NT has experienced teething problems during generation overhaul somewhere in time so this is far from strange. Like any manager, he deserves a bit of time because one thing you know is he's got the hunger. Would give him this qualification period, if he fails - good riddance. For now I'll wait because some of the football he produces is way more exciting and unpredictable than Nawałka's.
Correct.
I have always been supportive of NL, so I'm happy to see the team genuinely improve. It's also a good thing that France didn't qualify after the terrible attitude demonstrated in Rotterdam, hopefully it was a wake up call for some players and the manager.
Yet he's in the top 3 Balon Dor finalists. Shouldn't that tell us something?
It tells us that you can be in the top 3 without necessarily being the most influential player in your team. It also tells us it's very possible for defenders to break into that group of contenders. Varana isn't losing to Messi or Ronaldo, but simply another player on his team who was more influential in their side's recent success.
I did not pay much attention to the defense, but in any case it was not the best match to see him.
Oh man.
Who do you think had more influence in that Madrid and French team than Varane? I mean you said Top 5, so list should be interesting.
In Madrid's recent success? Ronaldo, Bale, Modric, Kroos are clearly ahead of the rest. The fifth you could argue the case for a few.
Last season Bale didn't even start a single knock out game last season and season before that he started in only 2 KO games, that was round of 16 second leg and quarter finals first leg, how is he ahead of Varane? It's like saying Gotze was ahead of Neuer, Schweinsteiger and bunch of other great players because Gotze scored in finals. Also no even Kroos wasn't.
For us the most influential players were Cris, Sergio, Marcelo, Modric, Benzema, in this order. The best players were Marcelo, Cris, Kroos, Asensio, Sergio, in this order
Asensio played about 4 games in cl last season, wtf?
All season, not just CL. And he was a game breaker in CL. Just ask PSG or Bayern
List only even begins to make sense if you're talking about just last year's CL. But then again, Ramos behind Asensio or Kroos? Last year was Ramos' best ever CL season, he was superb.
Not even close to your best player, that's just ridiculous. One goal and assist against PSG and Bayern really cannot change that.
No i'm talking only about last season as a whole. I dunno, honestly i went off the top of my head. I think beyond Cristiano and Marcelo, no one else was great. And i have a few reservations even about them. They were bad like everyone else at the wrong time and it cost us the league in December...objectively speaking, Cristiano and Marcelo were truly great in 2018, too bad the league meant nothing anymore by that point. CL makes up for it for them i guess, not so sure about Sergio.
He wasn't even close to being our best player in fact. Cris and Marcelo were our best players. Asensio was still one of the best. At least more consistent and with a bigger impact than most others.
