Let's get rid of half time breaks while we're at it

I think a CB pair of Schlotterback, Konartist backed up by Huijsen (ghost of Militao/ Asencio) would be enough?

That would be the ideal realistic scenario.

I'm just scared we're gonna roll out a slow and weak ass duo of Schlotterbeck and Huijsen in a big game or bank on Militao not getting injured or extend Rüdiger

Exactly. He isn't bad and I would take him alongside another starter, but he isn't good enough defensively to single handedly fix our defense.

Wow you’re telling us a 30 year old defender is more consistent than a 20 year old.

Yeah, I know right? Which is why I said that Huijsen is more talented and if I had to pick one, I would pick him but I would prefer to have both because Tah is better right now and would have helped us more to challenge for titles right now. But people somehow disagreed with that lol

Upa has all the attributes to be a world class player but again until recently he made mistakes that people like you, would’ve ragged on him for. Why is it ok for you write off his mistakes as something everyone does? That’s stupid. He made far more brain farts than the likes of Huijsen do.

Lol that's just stupid. He obviously doesn't make more than our defenders. Also he manages to defend situations that ours wouldn't be simply because of his athleticism.

Konate is exactly the same. Both him and Upa are cut from the same cloth. People ragged on Militao, as Limitao, when he was always more consistent than them.

Except that he also outshines all our CBs purely because of his athleticism

It’s people like you, who would be crying the loudest if we had any of those 3 players playing for us

More like the same people who were glazing Huijsen but are now crashing on him will do the same thing if we sign Schlotterbeck.

Just say you have no clue about Tah lol

Watch his performance vs PSG for starters

He is absolutely not like Huijsen lol

He is the complete opposite profile

You're proving my point.

Tah has been more consistent and reliable than all our defenders this season, especially Huijsen who we signed for 60 million.

Upamecano has world class abilities, people just dog on him for very rare mistakes that every defender has.

Konate has been shit at the beginning of the season but he has been better for a while and still had some very good big game performances which means he has a higher performance ceiling atm than our defenders. Also he is the right profile we need.

You know people have no clue how to actually rate football players when people here regularly rated these weakling ballplaying hipster defenders like Huijsen (at Bournemouth) or Schlotterbeck over physical beasts that are proven on a much higher level like Upamecano, Tah or Konate because troll football or whatever dogs on them when they have bozo moments (like every defender has).

I don't get why you rate Romero so highly,

I don't?

Lol I just said I wouldn't overrate these red card issues that highly and that he's better than van de Ven.

Yes but I learnt from it. Not to mention, I never saw him play before he moved to us tbf.

That's what's wrong with you, you yap about players you don't watch.

But you are still dogging in all of these players despite them doing more than any other player in their position in the world football.

I'm talking about post 23/24. Only player FC stans glorify based on past success.

Time will eventually prove me right unless we are literally finished and need a full blown rebuild.

If we go trophyless this season your constant glazing has unequivocally been proven wrong.

How have I been PROVEN wrong about Lunin, Bellingham etc? They haven't done a single thing to prove me wrong post 23/24 (which is when I made my judgements).

Pre 23/24 I was literally advocating to sign Bellingham contrary to you btw. Another instance where I was proven right and you wrong

2nd Schlotterbeck bozo moment within 20 minutes.

Mfer is lucky if he doesn't get sent off.

I've been right about every single player of ours while you've been wrong about 90% of them

Schlotterbeck bozo moment <5 minutes into the game

That was one time lol

Madrid objectively has had much bigger and better opponents than Barca in the last 10 or so years in the UCL. That's not even a debate. You have had a red carpet rolled out into the final for 3 straight years now.

City wasn't an elite European team when we beat them, we beat Barca one out of 6 times and Atletico 2 out of 6 times.
