FIFA has these players playing 100+ games a calendar season it’s nuts

Now as far as Phonzy we need to start a dialogue about his performance when playing with Canada. I’ll just leave it at that :hubie:

Because of who he is; Marsch and the rest of Canada needs to stop expecting him to be our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

He's out biggest name but can't expect a fullback to create and control the game.

Garnacho is what season 3 as a first team player. 131 games under his belt. Obviously there is and will inconsistency in his game. But is he learning from his mistakes? I don't watch Yanited all the time but when I see him playing it looks like he's still making the same technical and decision making mistakes time and again. :hubie:

Talent is an issue. Like I said the other day about lack of passers in a line up. That is part of the problem.



They've had Casemiro and he wasnt what they needed. This is something Brasil have been lacking for a long time. All the way back to South Africa WC. They lack pausa and multi functionality.



They have too many similar attackers most of who are direct dribblers who love going ISO and play inefficient football. Even Endrick is an issue because he keeps his head down doesn't release the ball earlier enough.

Vini Raphina Rodrygo Martinelli Savinho Lino Paixao Luis Henrique none of them solve the creativity issue. And it cannot all fall on Neymar as we seen in every international tournament he needs additional playmaking support.

Also where are the attacking FB's ? That have been a massive part of Brasils game over the decades. Wesley looked like a competition winner out there last night.

This narrative about Brasil and the beautiful game should've stopped after WC94.

Theyve been playing pragmatic, 2 dm football for a minute. Brasilian coaches for most part have been results over style for a minute minute.

I'd see your point if we paid a transfer fee to get him, but he's homegrown. Wanting a transfer fee on top of all the silverware he's helped win just seems greedy.

Wait, Liverpool couldve got a transfer fee but they rejected it . . . pretty sure they were credible reports that Real offered 20m's in the Jan window to take him. Liverpool and their fans cannot be complaining

You would win the league without him, absolutely no doubt. Anyway, that isn't the point - Liverpool fans can't cry about not receiving a fee, when one was offered to them and they rejected it

We wouldn’t have won it without him :mjlol: Trent is a legend and one of my all-time favorites, it will hurt like hell :mjcry: but I have no hard feelings if he goes, these stupid nikkas really gonna learn you don’t appreciate what you have till it’s gone, he’s been integral to how we play for years and idiots thinking Bradley can just step up and it’s all good :ufdup:
