Different players though. A Goal scoring inside forward on the left who can dribble in tight spaces is as special as a world class winger that Sane will become Imo.
He does play in a more attacking system. Sane has the ability to dribble out of tight spaces, but his effectiveness goes up a notch because he has support around him that can make runs and draw defenders away.
Doesnt excuse the fact that his decision making is 2 classes above martial, most of the times this season he didn't need to cooperate with anyone anyway, he just plain destroyed his opponents and proceed to score by himself, lots of times Martial has been on the left facing 1 or 2 defenders with open space and he either fails to dribble or his pass is way way off the target.
His decision making is better, yes.

What you on about?
There are many as good as Sane but of the young ones not so many, Mbappe is better through the middle but I dunno on the wing. I genuinely think Martial could be as good. Dembele I thought was a little better but its hard to call. Depends on what you classify as young I suppose. The thing Sane has is his pace is ridiculous. He outsprints players like Bellerin etc... for fun. I know he's got sprinter genetics but that's what makes him so scary, he just seems that little bit quicker.
Yeah what you on about?
Oh it's just funny how wrong you were, judging a 20 year old after 2 months, is all.
Oh yeah. I'm laughing my head off here. Classic TR comedy. Nothing better.
Yeah he has joined Dalian Yifang. Gaitan has also joined the same team I think. Don’t think it was for crazy money either and supposedly Juventus and Arsenal were interested in him.
Well he is.
Low would have to play him first.He was great again yesterday. Now he only has to do that stuff in the dress of the German NT, that's not too much to ask, is it?
Nope. Pep could coach him up. Sane is just silky class. At this moment, Sane's better and his projected trajectory is higher.
I'm convinced he'll take him. I mean, what other great winger do we have? Werner can play something similar, but then it's only Reus, and I would never build my hopes for a tournament on him, he barely manages to stay fit for 90 minutes on end.
You are, like most, overestimating Pep. He's not some kind of magician. He'll be fine without him.
Finally, someone with some sense.
Pep has definitely helped but I think at this point he wouldn't really regress if Pep was to go.. he's hit that point where he just knows the game now and I can only see him getting better regardless of who he is playing for and under.
Well, we've had him. He's human and he's got errors, like everyone else. Having to endure his stuborness and the absolute lack of attacking creativity sometimes takes the magic away. I can also absolutely see him becoming another van Gaal later in his career.
Welcome to the Twilight Zone
Come on Germans, give us your starting attacking line-up
Don't see no evidence for that, Martials had a great season despit being in an awkward attacking setup, technically Martial is probably better and tactically I do think there is much between them also...
Do you want to deny that in a lot of games in the second half of the season, we looked like Van Gaal v2? I'm always amazed how many people thee who seem t think he could do NOTHING wrong...Welcome to the Twilight Zone
if the Pope converts to Buddhism...
Don't you think having a two man midfield without any pure DM's with Ozil upfront will leave us too vunreable on the counter? Unless we adopt a counter attacking strategy ourselves, which I doubt. In 2014 we played Ozil at RW for this reason, so that we could play Schweinsteiger-Kroos-Khedira and provide that solid base in midfield. I think we should aim to continue that.
Well, yes there were weaker games in between, just as we see them now. Or how would you describe the last match vs Hertha? Was that a display of attacking creativity?
I guess the plan right now is
I know you love him and I know you think he's perfect, there's really no point to this discussion. I stand by my opinion that his tactical stuborness cost us a good Champions League campaign during his tenure.Well, yes there were weaker games in between, just as we see them now. Or how would you describe the last match vs Hertha? Was that a display of attacking creativity?
Don't you think it being *slightly* silly (it's batshit insane)to accuse Pep of all things stifling the attacking creativity of his teams when they always end up with an enormous goal tally?
Oh my, why have I allowed myself to be lured into your usual bullshit cycle?
No, I don't. I just see him as an excellent manager, who had us play some fantastic football for 3 years. You're the one with he extremist view on him, not I. Well, at least you're delivering the reason for your agenda right away.
Agendas are so fecking boring. Get a new obsession. Just to clarify, I did not imply Guardiola is a magician. Rather it was your assumption about what everyone else thinks about him that led you to interpret it that way. I think he has a lot of flaws too.
