Barcelona should trade Messi for Neymar. Hes 5 years younger and it’ll immediately become easier to play Girezmann as a byproduct. Coutinho is Neymar’s best friend as well.

Do people know that Thiago has barely played football in his career? Find it odd how he’s seen as a bit of a legend, at least on Twitter
League starts: 7, 20, 15, 11, 2, 16, 26, 12, 26, 20.
Needs to play about 90 games in the next 3 seasons to be worthy of a mention in history.

We’ve probably seen the best ever Asian, African, South American and European player in the last 15 years (Son, Eto’o, Messi and Ronaldo).
If Pulisic has a good career, he could become the best ever North American player too.

Chelsea just can’t find that one alpha attacker who will influence how thr team plays.
Lukaku, Pulisic and Ziyech were the players with that kind of on-pitch personality but didn’t work out.
Havertz, Sterling and Werner are class support attackers but won’t run the attack.

Grealish and Diaz nowhere near the level of the best left-wingers in the last 10 years - Ronaldo, Neymar, Mbappe, Hazard, Alexis, Reus, Son, Sterling, Mane.

Simply can’t understand what Emery is up to at Arsenal. Expected him to go about trying to recreate Mourinho’s 2013-15 Chelsea.
Mourinho started with this. Coached in all the qualities that would be carried forward into the title winning side, Great shape, spacing and workrate.

People say Liverpool should just sign Southampton's scout. They absolutely shouldn't. They should continue their policy of making Southampton buy players from small leagues and giving them PL game time and then overpaying for the end product. Going in early gets you Marko Grujic.

Getting annoyed over Modric breaking the Messi/Ronaldo duopoly on the Ballon d'Or because it seems to have set a trend of pushing non-attacking players to win it now.

-Tactically I feel Mourinho’s shortcoming is that he doesn’t understand modern wide strikers.
-Psychologically I feel Mourinho can’t connect with anyone under 25.
-But it’s the drop in level of workrate/intensity/explosiveness of his teams that’s an underdiscussed issue imo
You have to admit that Mourinho's fitness training looks totally outdated now. Even Wenger has surpassed him

Ings should have probably won. I'm in favour of giving it to any player from a midtable team who manages 20+ npg as law. It's extremely rare, I believe only Lukaku, Vardy and Ings managed it in the last decade.

Chelsea is the ideal PL club for Messi. Can't get a free role when off-the-ball at Man City and Liverpool. Chelsea have the talent and the team isn't properly settled so the club can adapt around Messi. Werner and Abraham's presence is a great benefit as well.

Argentina don't look like contenders, but they have at least stopped obsessively passing to Messi as a team. Lets Messi 'hide' a bit and then receive in good situations, instead of being in the spotlight all game.

Werner’s mental approach to football is my preferred way. Play at the highest intensity for 90 mins even if your technique can’t cope.
When it comes off, it’ll be worth it, and once you hit form you can hit peaks that players who focus on technique might struggle to reach

First time I’ve seen Guardiola talk about this.
It was strange how there wasn’t much talk about how vastly different KDB is to every other CM that Guardiola has had.
Should have got the same attention as Haaland’s style of play gets.

Such a lack specialists in either role or skill set at Man United. Maguire, Lindelof, Martial, Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, Matic and McTominay seem like the only players who are clear in their head about what kind of players they are or what their strengths are.

Seeing Everton’s XI, one appreciates how delicate yet simple football can be.
All you need
1. Midfield General/ Horizontal CM (Allan)
2. Box-to-Box CM/ Vertical CM (Doucoure)

4&5. Two channel runners (Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin)
6. All-rounder

What VAR should do
- prevent violent play
- overturn obvious errors that give a team a considerable advantage
What VAR does
- make irrelevant offside calls that have nothing to with the spirit of the game
- take away great moments from the game because of above
- break up tempo

Shaqiri and Origi simply too rusty for sustained attacks. No natural movements or runs, totally out of rhythm with the team. Can't blame them obviously as that's what happens when you barely play for months.

Willian should be near the top of the list of players who have underachieved. Physicality, dribbling and ball striking is as good as anyone in the world, should have done more.

2006 Ballon d'or should be wiped off history. Cannavaro 1st and Buffon 2nd. Those players were probably not even in the top 25 players of the season. Henry, Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Gerrard, Lampard, Pirlo, Toni, Ballack...

To win CL:
-Buid on-pitch relationships between core 12-14 players
-Use players (& supportive tactics) who know limits & don't make mistakes in own half
-Prioritize essential qualities like physicality, ball striking & ball winning > ancillary skills like ball control & dribbling

Main lesson to learn from Chelsea’s season is that unless your manager is a certifiable expert in a particular system, don’t buy weird players like Havertz. Even Werner is a bit weird but still fairly easy to work with as a wide player at least

Not that he’s having a particularly great game, but he’s trying to be a bit of a right winger to give width here.
Not many controlling midfielders have tackling, engine and positional range, and not many star CM play a role for the team.

Criticism of Mourinho needs to be rephrased. It's not that his "style of football is obsolete" as that suggests there is a style of play. There's nothing there apart from game-specific tactics that work once a couple of month and each of them involve playing as the underdog.
