Viva Garnacho

He struggled when he joined looked overpriced, but he found himself quickly after that and was brilliant for us playing really tidily as a 6. This season it’s like he’s completely forgotten how to play in a single pivot, making some of the dumbest passes he never even thought of last season. He’s also been a couple steps slow and all of those borderline 5050s are clearly fouls/cards now. So now he plays in a double and ETH went out and bought Amrabat last minute after realizing the massive risk in midfield.

So while his discipline hasn’t changed, his quality as a player has declined considerably. Without the athleticism we’ve known him for, and tactical awareness he showed last season, he’s a shell of himself right now.

Ball is played out wide.

Crowd: *swoons*

Is Antony on the team?

Can someone who doesnt mind explain a) what his tactical style is and b) what makes him so successful at Leverkusen. I watched a couple of matches last season but can’t say I know enough to understand why he’s been so great.

Why not just say Agbonlahor is the one saying this? Not that anyone is seriously thinking Varanes ability is overrated, which it’s not. When he’s been 100% fit we’ve looked impenetrable. But he’s made of glass and exactly why we should have bought a CB instead of Amrabat this summer.

So, they basically said “how can we make the result look more legimate”. Tbh looks like they’ve done the opposite.

Mbappe isn’t even the GOAT French player lol

And no, it’s not hard to say he’s better than Cristiano. By pundits and his peers, the consensus is quite clearly Messi.
