Sheltons Army Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Ha ha Thiago reminds me , when playing local football , of a player you’d occasionally encounter in opposition who was in his 40s , but had played at a much higher level and totally ran the game , at a stroll , hardly breaking sweat ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted April 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 The way they play, the quality of their forwards, you can absolutely see Real turning over Man C in the second leg. Don't think they are favourites, but it would not be a huge shock to me. Villarreal however just seem to have no Plan B. No idea how they turn this around and it looks over.

Np He’s probably good enough to play there ! or certainly part as a front 3 and is a decent finisher But he’d be wasted there tbh , his all round game , his tacking passing , athleticism and drive , best utilised in the engine room Him and Foden are the best we’ve had since Gascogne Edited April 27, 2022 by Sheltons Army Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Liverpool's succession planning as others have mentioned. Good, very good. Diaz, Jota. Steady integration of others into the squad if not necessarily week in, week out. Thinking players such as Konate and Keita yet with age on their side and some room for growth. Well Keita 27, maybe he's peaked- Konate at 22 however, most definitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strengthen whilst you are in good shape - Was always behind their success in 70s / 80s You can soak up the odd one that doesn’t quite hit the standards and it gives you time to integrate the ones that do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speed/press is just another level altogether Agree The current Man City & Liverpool are the best two sides I’ve seen in top flight Frightening thing is both are likely to strengthen !

The speed/press is just another level altogether I think that’s owing to the progression of athletes. It’s a different world now. I bet everything like diet and training is 100% better now that it was 20 years ago. So it’s difficult to compare. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
