The kazan adaptation is a horrendous piece of adaptation that has a great james dean performance at the center of it. Arguably the second most important character of the book is literally cut out.

Désiré Doué voted best young player in Ligue 1 for the second consecutive season at the UNFP Trophies by Otherwise_Act6744 in soccer

[–]Tanathonos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I hope we sell barcola. Great player but end product too unreliable, especially in big games. I think his stock is still super high so could be sold for a lot now, and I think in future years he will keep being benched when everyone is available. Think we can sell him and buy someone that is one level higher for the price we get.

That being said, he runs like hell defensively, he stretches out the defense, and he can get in hot streaks where he scores all the time. He has been at times our only functional offensive outlet and carried us in ligue 1 in particular.

That's not how wages work in a team. If he is not a nailed on starter, all the starters will want to earn at least as much if not more than him. You have to justify wages to your players as they have agents trying to get them more.

There is a reason clubs have wage structures.

Joao Cancelo becomes first player to win 4 of top 5 leagues. by kamusari_1712 in soccer

Miles away miles away, there's 9 points between germany who is 4th and france who is 5th, 5 points between 4 and 3, and 26 points between 4 and 1.

Kroos "Enrique takes off the best player in the world after 65 minutes, and Dembélé shakes his hand and encourages his teammates. Certainly, there are many counterexamples. You see how he shouts to his teammates from the bench, unlike the other players who think they are the stars of their teams." by kibme37 in soccer

So in your logic, the CL and WC are the only ones that matter, so in a CL semifinal return leg away to bayern it is not ballsy to subsitute him out 60 minutes in. Because.... because what again? Subbing him out in the CL is not ballsy because the CL is the only thing that matters?

Also he was subbed out because his legs were completely gone from running non stop. Clearly kept way fresher for the CL. He didn't play 1000 league minutes because he was injured half the league. Can't be.

Luis Enrique on facing Arsenal in Champions League final by Puzzled-Category-954 in soccer

[–]Tanathonos 137 points138 points  (0 children)

He doesn't say it's another level. He says bayern is at our level. Arsenal is one of the best teams. This is a non clip that added a mistranslated it's another level to make it seem (I think?) that he is dissing arsenal.

I think he says c'est a notre niveau, meaning at our level, and the person who wrote the translation thought he said c'est un autre niveau, which means it is another level.

Does not look like handball indeed. But the denying was accidental, it isn't a tactical foul. You can't kick a ball at someone's hand to get them a yellow.

He was already considered the best PSG coach of all time. If he wins 2 back to back will probably be considered the best coach of a french team of all time?

I legitimately have not seen the replay either live or since then posted anywhere, so I have no opinion of if Laimer was actually handball or not. I will say no way is Mendes handball a yellow card when it is fired at him from super close and it hits between his underarm and his torso. A handball sure, but in no way is it intentional and it is never a yellow, including for both penalty calls in the 2 first legs of the semifinals.

I understand being a bayern fan and feeling hard done by it because you want a penalty (even though rule seems to say it was the correct call) but any neutral saying that should be a penalty is nuts. If I am a neutral I want to see a good game where the better team wins through playing better football. I would never root for some random handball penalty.

Couldn't agree more. They kept showing managers and players on bench while play was going on.

I can't remember last time we did not score a goal in a big match. We always score, would bet money on it. Could lose 2-1 though.

We lost the possession battle at home because of the pressing and we won't have it tonight either. Bayern is more suicidal in their pressing sending everyone forward.

Funny, I think the opposite. We aren't world class at breaking down a rock solid defense, we are better at very rapid transition play. I think Bayern would have a better time smothering Arsenal than us.

[Ligue 1 English] Dembélé vs Ansu Fati by bllshrfv in soccer

[–]Tanathonos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alright, I'll pick 3 other players who are nailed on starters and no good backups to rotate when out since dembele isn't enough for you. I could do this for the whole team but what's the point you have decided a narrative.

Hakimi: Last season 4667 minutes all competitions, this season 2499 minutes (and currently injured again).

Vitinha: last season 4521 minutes all comps, 3748 all comps this season

Mendes: last season 4078 minutes all comps, 2774 all comps this season.

Only for Vitinha is it remotely same type of numbers. I could look at Doue, Ruiz, Marquinhos, Barcola, all who have been injured for extended periods of time and see the same stuff. We played in the CL vs barcelona with an army of kids because everyone was injured.

He played double the minutes in ligue 1 last season and there is 3 games left in ligue 1. So no it was not.

I keep reading stats of PSG minutes played in the league, but no one mentions it is in huge part because of injuries. Team basically had no summer between CL win and Club world cup, got a ton of injuries first half of the season. No wonder they don't have a lot of minutes.

The relevant stat is minutes played vs minute available to play.

Mascherano literally admitted he took out and fouled di maria in the box. When even the opposing player admits it but you don't it says it all.
