Zero ability to counter on MC = death.
Better find a way, watch the Spurs dismantle them on tape.

Foden for Mahrez was huge left man. It produced immediately.
This MC team has a plethora of backups. You dont produce and you are off. Even if its because you dont fit well based on your skills.
I root for your guy. I dont know what his contract status is but maybe he would like to visit Spurs.
Spurs made two fantastic pickups that have produced. Say goodbye to De Celso and Dembele the worthless. Huge switch.
Maybe Mahrez will get his Champions league trophy and want to have a role in a project and coach that will play him consistently.

*begging to be continued

We will take him.

[pgardn]

Salah would be absolutely crazy to leave Liverpool.
He gets more good service than any player in the EPL.
On the other hand he does have to run under Klopp. Against Benefica both Mane and Salah got tired and the replacements of Jota and Firmino was exactly what was needed.
Maybe Salah would rather live in Spain, Italy or France. Barcelona would definitely be nicer than Liverpool to live, maybe they have borrowed more money.

:lol what

Mahrez wasn't bad, Pep Jackson just made changes and it worked; giving Foden a more central role while Mahrez was instructed to play wide, and everytime he touched the ball he was surrounded by 3 defenders forcing him to pass the ball (same thing with Sterling on the left)
Pep made 3 subs at the same time, he explained it in the post game presser saying he made those subs to change his offensive approach as he needed different profiles

Mahrez will be fine, still their top scorer this season and their best CL performer

He is completely left footed and easier to defend than Foden.
Foden will take his spot next season as he can turn the corner on the left side. Time for Riyad to become Gareth Bale (all left foot but faster) and come to Spurs.

Benzema has that longevity because he is a fitness nut, he also has a gym in his house. He said Ronaldo’s work ethic inspired him.

Yes Edouard Mendy made a bad pass on that 3rd goal but Benzema made an insane pressing run to get there too.

As for France , yes that partnership with Mbappe will be scary because Mbappe is also balling - he was amazing vs Real in the previous round.
Really looking forward to that partnership in Madrid next season :D

Karim was always phenomenal doing high pressure. You see him dashing, time runs out, goal keepers or backs suddenly make bad passes, besides he seems to stay with every contested ball in those circumstances.

[dunkman]

Benzema >>>> TOSB Penaldo + Missi

It looked insane when Pérez didn’t do much to try convince Cristiano to change his mind to stay in 2018. While Bale or new signings like Vinicius or Hazard were unable to do anything similar to what Cris could do, it looks Karim was able to replace even a prime version of him. The last season at Madrid, Ronaldo scored less goals and played very little defense. Still Zidane managed to win his third consecutive Champions.

Then move to Tottenham and get on a team you can claim real success for getting them to the Champions League again.
Everyone is gonna get "bored" ie really mentally and physically worn out an unable to drive forward to win the toughest league. Especially when MC is famous for getting it done. Thats where Pep has to be given credit by stacking the team.
It takes special players to concentrate for 38 games. When you are not fast and getting fouled a bunch, its easy to say well Ill just sit out and wait for the really important games.

Imagine Mahrez going to Tottenham and doing the same thing he did with LC (only this would be on a team more likely to do it.... ) He would be thought of as some sort of magic man. And Kevin D is the man on MC. If you had to identify the most important player.

Well KDB is the man but he has a tendency to chicken out in crunch time - the penalty vs Dortmund or the FK vs PSG, he had no problem letting Mahrez take those

And you guys don't need Mahrez, Dejan Poplokewski (whatever) is a great addition at the right wing position and less selfish than Mahrez; he is a perfect complement to your frontline.
I've liked Dejan since his days with Juventus, he was a sub but brought a lot when subbed in.

He is very unassuming so he might be underrated because of that; I'm happy to see him play more and getting so recognition.
Plus he played in Serie A which means he understands exactly what Conte wants from his players.

Honestly I am being totally unrealistic about Mahrez. He plays an important role on that team because his has a fantastic leg as well. He should stay exactly where he is if he likes winning. Tottenham still might not be able to keep Kane as Kane has shown a whole new dimension to his game besides scoring. They lose Kane... no replacing that kind of passing from a CF.

Even when chances aren’t that clear, Benzema will make a goal, or pressure defenders and goal keeper into errors. Vini Jr is very fast and skilled too. And Modric will take control of a divided ball and pass. That was good for 3 goals st the Etihad. Part two will at Bernabéu, it’s a good result, but Madrid must play much better to see the final.

Villarreal played a terrible push up defensive game 2nd half and had to foul numerous times on breaks.

They need to go home, and they did. Liverpool brings one guy in at the half and the game gets turned around. smh...

How wide open was that header? and then Mane set lose by a lazy defender just walking around in back putting Mane onsides? The goal keeper had to make a choice and it was a horrible one. But he never should have had to make the choice in the first place.

Villarreal doesn’t have 20 good players to keep pushing, like Liverpool, to make second half changes one after another, and keep the tempo up. The difference in players budget and value is abysmal. Being better in one half wasn’t good enough, semi-finals are played over four, where overall Liverpool was clearly better.

It will be interesting to see how the submariners invest prize money and if can keep Emery. Too bad the owners of Villarreal couldn’t buy Valencia when they wanted to. But still, I like how Villarreal plays in their fortín.

American owners interested. But right now Chelsea is a mess on the field, they are absolutely cratering. It is possible for them to drop out of the top 4. Not likely, but this was unthinkable at the midpoint of the season. American owner for Liverpool worked with Klopp, not so much for Manchester United.

It must feel much worse than losing with something like 0:4.

Even with 90 minute mark past, down overall one goal, you see Madrid players building their play patiently, looking for the free man, great center from Carvajal, great header from Rodrygo.

Lefty, lefty, lefty.....
Pep was screaming at him the entire time he was in to shut people down on his side.
I saw exactly what Mahrez was not doing, he was late into position on defense on his side of the field.
Its very tough to take a guy who has that rocket leg off the field but things were not getting done. And he had run his game.
When RM switched Vini Jr to the other side away from Walker RM was getting huge spaces and Walker was running out of gas. That the side Mahrez was on. They switched Walker over to that side and after a few more lung bursting runs he was done. Walker was totally fried.

Really what it came down to is RM is in superior shape or City is worn down more as they still have to try and go for EPL games. DeBruyne, Walker, and Mahrez got run off their feet. Walker chased down Vini Jr numerous times and he has the speed but no way he can outlast Vini Jr. That kid is endless energy and just softens up teams for these late wins. And the saves made on Grealish were magical. Grealish was faking players to their knees and had two fantastic saves made against him.

Bottom line is RM absolutely fights tooth and nail to the end. I have never seen anything like these comebacks.
Congrats, what a TEAM. Imo Vini Jr is the absolute sparkplug RM must have to do this 3 flipping times. He misses, he loses the ball, but he always is putting pressure on. He is like a boxer who just jabs the opponent into exhaustion. Benzema has been incredible as well, but that little ball of nuclear power has HUGE stamina.

Don’t feel bad Manchester City, I know what it feels like to not get a ticket for the Final

Oh jeez.
Okay this is rotten. Ordinary fans who actually love the game not getting in.

[lefty]

The best moment of this game is the Bernabeu crowd getting up and cheering their team up after City scored
They knew something was bound to happen

[lefty]

:lmao

Mahrez has been city best player imo. KBD is so overrated.

Wondering how would shortened Zidane’s rotations work against newest PL teams tactics that use 4-5 quality players in second half to keep full 90 minutes pressure. It seems Ancelotti adapted to newest innovations.

Good to see money is not all in football and a traditional associates team like Madrid taking out PSG, Chelsea and City in a succession, even after losing a game to each team.

Those €45M spent on Vini Jr and Rodrygo each when where just promising stars in Brazil look really good moves, talent scouts are top notch.

You have not watched KDB all year.
But he definitely completely ran out of gas against Madrid.
When Modric out ran him to a ball I knew he was done. That was pitiful.

Mahrez is technically extraordinarily gifted (except he refuses to go right which has caused him to be overplayed in the EPL)
And Mahrez is NOT a defender. Unless he has someone right next to him.
Its somewhat the same type of situation with Ronaldo except Ronaldo is an old man. Ronaldo is the most gifted goal scorer possibly ever. But now he is a huge liability on defense. Also Ronaldo can not run at people from midfield out anymore. He has to stay closer to the goal now. He is not valuable over the entire field like he used to be. Ronaldo needs to go to a team that needs him ONLY to score. Because scoring is extraordinarily difficult, its a very tough decision with these types of players.

Mahrez needs to go to Tottenham to bring them glory.
The glory of trying to finish 4th. j/k

People making fun of Pep is funny. The guy has improved more players than any other coach and its not even close. But he is such a baby.
Its always easy to make fun of a coach after a bad loss. Its no shame against THIS Madrid team.

Taking Mahrez off was dumb, he was the only City player who could have scored a 2nd. goal

Grealish made two great moves to get himself open, get on goal and take good shots.
The defending was incredible and possibly even lucky to get to the ball.
We just have to disagree here. They had plenty of guys who could have scored, they just did not. And Madrid was definitely calmer with the ball but Grealish really did some damage with those moves.
Soccer is cruel like that.

I will say Foden got completely run down as well. Which is why I think Vini Jr. was the special man that day. I bet he could run a qualifying Olympic time in the 10 K from what I saw on the field. Dude can do multiple sprints like its a walk in the park.

[pgardn]

I really like Mahrez.
He is extraordinarily gifted. But all players have their strengths and weaknesses.
If he really wants to be "the man" on a team he needs to go elsewhere. MC will bring up other young guys who constantly put older guys on the bench.
As long as Pep's the coach.

He was on a team in the EPL who won the title because the really big teams in the EPL were going through a transition and Mahrez and Vardy were incredible together. Made for each other. Very skilled and blazing speed.
LC won the title with Tottenham nipping at their heals. That is a very unusual year.

BTW Benrama had a really good game coming on the field for West Ham against Frankfurt in the Euros.
The weird thing is he almost got into a fight which I have never seen him do. He is always really composed and calm.
But he was a very valuable sub as West Ham was all over the goal and just could not get one to go in the 2nd half.
In fact I would say he sparked the team to not give up with his skill getting the ball to people and good shots.

Anyhows... I like your players. Very skilled. Guys that dont have to be fast to be very valuable.

The belgium waffle is a great regular season guy but he always disappoint in decisive games. He had a very forgettable semi finals against RM like he was for instance mostly invisible in 2018 vs. France..

I agree he is overrated as fuck

Yep
I remember last season vs Dortmund he was supposed to take the penalty but he chickened out and Mahrez took it and made it

Then vs PSG in the semis he let Mahrez take the FK, same result :lol

In NT it is even worst, dude is hiding like a bitch when things are getting tough tbh... He usually starts to stick to his line on the right side of the field and let Hazard Lukaku alone solving the shit. He usually gets away with it, people just blame Hazard for not envolving him :lol

Hazard might be a fatass in Madrid but he's great with the NT tbh
Sucks that De Bruyne is such a choker tbh, he's so skilled and smart

Yes I agree with that... Hazard is like Griezman and Pogba, they suck with their clubs but play extremely well with their NTs. I wonder if it is becoming a thing with this generation. I don't remember in the 80s / 90s players sucking balls in clubs and striving in NT maybe some old players who preserved themselves at the end of their career for NT but that's not the case for hazard, grizou and pogba

What happened to him? He seem to just get fat?
Did he have some biochemical disorder? I remember one of these really good players having something that was really wrong with them?

Man I remember the hazard vs Salah debates. What happened to that fatso? Crazy, he can’t even win a spot over 16 year olds in his first year.

Lesson of the day- get your diet straight.

Honorary club president and Bayern legend Franz Beckenbauer certainly demanded more when he likened the player to a child.
“He behaves and moves around on the pitch like a youth player,” he told Sky in May 2015.
“He just stops moving when he loses a duel. This is the behaviour of a child. This kind of behaviour does not fit in at Bayern. It is time for him to grow up. He has shown at Dortmund what he can do and we know that he is a great talent. But there is still something missing.”

.......
He was diagnosed with myopathy, a muscular disorder that affects the fibres in the muscles. It also causes weakness and rapid fatigue in the muscles, which is particularly hard for an athlete as it can delay the recovery period needed.
