emgagement that bloody Gianni Infantino stopped by his house to promote the CWC
:mjtf:nikka has no shame
Yeah, Mbappe definitely isn't capable of putting in the 70+ mins off the ball work that Dembele did last night.

It wasn't just the running either. He was setting traps, angling runs to force Inter into playing to specific areas, stood right back into position for free kicks and goalkicks. He was laser focused. Not a lot of guys have the capacity for that tbh.
Is it being lazy and entitlement or he can't physically do it which would make no sense

Its ego and will. Sacrifice the way dembele do it means that you will score less goal and makes the partners shine more because you make the run for them. That's what benzema did for years for Cristiano.

Where are our academy players that aren’t midgets? I’d imagine Arsenal should have some decent strikers coming up.

But seriously there’s players out there, we just aren’t trying hard enough. I wonder how much not being owned by football people is affecting our transfers. Seems like we place too much importance on nerd shyt and not enough on the mandem factors. Does he have tekks? What’s the eye test saying?

There aren't any strikers on the market. Better to wait for another decade when the striker's market opens up breh

:mjgrin:
it’s a win win

We have a good transfer summer then we remain competitive

We don’t then I hope we crash and he leaves

Ney tried to channel the spirit of Maradona and picked up his second Yellow.

This team is embarrassing :unimpressed:


He's showing how much he cares about his career and his future as a professional, he's done if we're talking about him playing for the Selecão ever again

Mbuemo and Cunha as the two 10s. :jbhmm:

Need to sell Bruno and gets some press resistant midtable and we might solidify midtable next season. @null
I like Mbuemo, but I do feel he can be wildly consistent with his final pass as it seems he prefers to go for goal. Which isnt always a bad thing but definitely something to address.
