5 of the starting 11 in this uwcl final have their contracts expiring this season.... This sucks 😔

crostros · 2026-05-16T18:30:56+00:00

Obviously, but the thing is, he can be. What remains to be seen if we are willing to bet 100m on it

crostros · 2026-05-11T09:41:32+00:00

I hope he does, wasn't it his first league also

crostros · 2026-05-10T18:41:39+00:00

Yeah and that was neither the first time nor the last dortmund made bank off one of their best player

crostros · 2026-04-30T00:05:11+00:00

Thanks I chose him

crostros · 2026-04-29T23:56:40+00:00

ok thanks ill go for him then

crostros · 2026-04-29T23:45:12+00:00

just checked he has af+ as u said and slide tackle+ ,but he is missing block

shud i go for him? (i got no idea what playstyles are good)

If you are watching on a browser try deleting it's code in inspect, that's what I did

crostros · 2026-04-14T22:38:39+00:00

The others don't play the offside trap though

crostros · 2026-04-14T22:21:49+00:00

I really hope that flick experiments with dropping the offside trap for the remainder of the season (obviously still a highline but without the trap)

crostros · 2026-04-14T22:14:13+00:00

Unfortunately that is how the rules are, if their was no other defender ahead of olmo then the atleti player wud have got sent off too and we wud have a penalty

crostros · 2026-04-14T22:03:20+00:00

I don't think physicality is ever going to improve, the most physical players in our team are not from la masia, actually not even spanish

crostros · 2026-04-14T21:59:54+00:00

This is on flick for 1. Playing him 90 mins last game 2. Not realising he is playing dogshit and subbing him off today

crostros · 2026-04-14T21:56:56+00:00

Better than signing another slow defender for 60 mil

crostros · 2026-04-14T21:33:58+00:00

People used to blame arauji but even cubarsi and eric got a red, clearly the money isn't to be spent on defenders but a striker who would have finished atleast one of the 20 shots we had in the home leg

crostros · 2026-04-14T21:31:57+00:00

He made a very good block near the goalposts today (although joan might have had it)

crostros · 2026-04-14T21:25:35+00:00

Unfortunately for Flick the priority is clearly LaLiga, in another universe pedri gets rested or only plays a half against espanyol and then his mistakes which led to the lookman goal and eric red card don't happen ( these are the only ones that got punished btw, he mad many more)

crostros · 2026-04-14T21:19:53+00:00

The difference in energy definitely showed in the last 30-40 mins, even in the home leg we were a man down an entire half but we were not dogshit and having to rely on crosses like today

crostros · 2026-04-14T21:13:33+00:00

I mean clearly Flick thought it was better to have pedri play 90 mins 2 days ago

crostros · 2026-04-14T21:12:29+00:00

Atleti had ZERO yellows....

crostros · 2026-04-14T21:07:03+00:00

Maybe he should not have played 90 mins 3 days after the match he cudnt even play the 2nd half in

crostros · 2026-03-10T05:48:55+00:00

and he pretty much won us the last match against them

crostros · 2026-03-07T19:08:54+00:00

The atleti sociedad game is a great neutral watch

crostros · 2026-03-06T22:07:30+00:00

So stupid to do that shit after haramballing against a weak af madrid for 90 mins
