A note of caution
I would like to congratulate Liverpool on his very practical victory in Munich, but I think a note of caution is needed in all this jubilation. Despite rumors from the English media, Bayern is not quite this year.
The reasons are common to all the team / team: Kovac is still new and needs time – apart from everything else, to prove that he is in fact a good manager; Thomas Mueller seems a little over – perhaps exhausted given the time he spent at the highest level; Joachim Loew publicly rejected Hummels and Boateng from the national team; Neuer never seems to have fully recovered from his serious injury. The list continues.
The only reason they fight for the BuLi is that Dortmund collectively wetted the bed from January (which should not surprise anyone); The only reason they are shooting down teams like Wolfsburg and BMG, is that, frankly, German football is not quite that yet …
As I said, good victory and all, but not like demolishing Bayern "fully armed and operational" a few years ago. This team erases in memory (fortunately for most of Germany).

Poch behaves as he should
I ask the following question: Is Pochettino constantly being praised by Media because we are evaluating players on the prices purchased and on the old Spurs mentality of wanting the fourth objective rather than the goals of MV and team they should have, since I'm an accountant, I thought why I did not know it. t I manage the expected selling values of players rather than what they bought for, all investments are measured on what you are selling them for. Then we will see who is underperforming and who is outperforming.
Spurs XI: 543M
Liverpool: 666M
United Man: 502M
Man City: 679M
Arsenal: 396.50M
Chelsea: 589.50 M
So, what we can see is that Liverpool and City should be clearly ahead, which is true. In fact, Liverpool would have a much less valued team without the favorable increases in values of TAA, Robertson, Firmino, Salah and Mane: (260 million in total)
City has similarly a strong increase in fees in sterling, sane, aguero and bruyne (220 million) but the value of the team is slightly lowered by the evaluations of players like David Silva and Fernandinho (26 m in total) because their lack of resale due to their age. and contracts, slip in Bernardo Silva would increase the value of the City's workforce by a solid 40M, which would make unmistakable favourties and the only 700m.
Man United is doing well Martial, Pogba and Lukaku keeping somewhat of their values (quite precise) Lingard and Rashford record the most positive growth (100M handsets both free), Fred has not seen any value but n & # 39; 39; was not included in the evaluation anyway do not be a regular starter. They should be fifth on the basis of XI MV and I would bet it's not that far.
Chelsea's underperformance as a team shows a slight defeat and we could all probably agree that the style of play, the lack of preparation, and so on. show the most regarding Chelsea and they do not behave as they should (3rd MV but potentially 4th in the league, but 3rd in the MV), their players tend to retain value, Kante being 90m and Hazard 110M sounds right, Willian being 50M now is questionable but Barca made an offer for him. Having Higauin at 40m from their XI is a little embarrbading since it was a loan, but we are working on value here.
Arsenal are the biggest players, the majority of their value among their line of attack (it shows in their statistics) and their defense is the least valued among all the first 6 games, perfectly with the present, but their forwards and a or two midfield gems shows in their makeup value.
The Spurs are therefore fourth in value (logic), and they fight for the fourth / third place (logical), their line of attack like most teams is valued dramatically, but what they lack compared to City and Liverpool is a blow at a stroke. (a correspondent to Liverpool and City's 65M Laporte and Van Dijk) and their center backs are apparently 20m shorter than either side. The midfielder is strangely similar to Liverpool's overall badessment. Keeper could also use a 4-sided upgrade with a worthy keeper. With an overall growth in player value of 310 M (among Son, Kane, Alli and Erikssen)
So what did we learn?
Pochettino apparently does exactly what it should be, so ranking fourth is not a success, but Media's praise about the growth of its workforce is true.
Klopp is also right on the line.
Guardiola is also technically efficient, but the team's ratings show he should have a bigger lead at the top, but no fault of his performance.
Sarri had some difficulties but could eventually reach his goal of evaluation but should have done better, again realistically.
Ole Gunnar straightened the boat, but those who expected Man United to be challenged were terribly ignorant.
Finally, Emery is working on the gods at Arsenal, qualifying for the Champions League next season potentially giving him a return of nearly 30% of the value of his squad.
This has been done with realistic alignments and current values.
Cole
Cech, my friend
If Arsenal wants to progress in the Europa League, he must play against Leno. After this heroic weekend, he is in great shape and if Arsenal must have a chance to reverse a 2-goal lead, he must keep a clean goal and that means playing our best defensive player, Leno.
This new craze for second guards is crazy. Certainly, in the debut of the League Cup, it's fine, but in a competition where the prize is a changing season, why continue to handicap your team by playing a goalkeeper who will retire in a few months, has committed mistakes played and is just not close to Leno's level.
I remember our consecutive run down to the European Cup Winners' Cup in the mid-90s and our manager, George Graham, was reportedly attacked by the crowd if he had dropped our world-clbad goalkeeper, David Seamen, for which we had the reserve guard at the time.
Yes Cech has been an outstanding goalkeeper (mainly for Chelsea), but there is no room for sentiment in this multi-million pound case where the difference of having football in the Champions League next season is less pronounced .
Sure, we could pbad that in the league, but the Arsenal football club is probably the biggest underperforming club in Europe and has a wonderful chance to help change that this season when we're out of other cups without challenge the league, and comfortably have the team of outdoor field players to play additional games in the Europa League and focus on the battle for the 4th trophy.
However, I'm afraid it will be "Cech-mate" and Cech will play and contribute to our elimination tonight.
In the expectation of being wrong.

P.S. Anyone who hopes for a Messi final against Ronaldo Champions League to finally help answer the question of who is the best …
Matip the man
The small joys of getting through the mailbox in the morning after a great win against a great team had a particular peculiarity when reading Mr. Sam's double-caterer: "When is Joe Gomez back?
Matip will send me to an early grave. "
I wonder if I was really drunk last night because the Matip I saw was excellent all night except a useless yellow card and some faults. The OG was not really his fault, Robbo and VVD being at the root of the problem. He had to try the ball because Lewandowski was behind him, ready to hit. Even if it is technically possible to pbad the ball over the bar, very few defenders would be able to do so from a low center at the same position. .
Lewandowski quickly realized that he would not get much joy from Van Dijk, so he seemed to want to try to target Matip instead, and Matip ridiculed him whenever it mattered. Some excellent interceptions and keys in the box to boot. Virgil will get the applause but Joel has probably provided the best defensive performance in a gray shirt last night.

Ideal draw
D & # 39; agreement Petey, here is my ideal draw
Barcelona – City: A heavyweight must come out, Pep enters the story of Camp Nou, intensifies the pressure on City and makes not only the CL more interesting, but the race for the title in the Premier League a little more difficult too
Ajax – Porto: Entering the start of the last lap would have been rather small and external bets for the final (no, you have not followed this Ajax team for 3 years). Reach the semifinals and anything can happen
Liverpool – Man Utd: No explanation needed. Expect crowded pubs across the country and two epic games (at the Liverpool – Chelsea mid-00s)
Juventus – Tottenham: This was left by the elimination process, but given the football played by both teams at their peak, the encounter should nevertheless be exciting.
My predictions disappeared through the window on the last lap, but you can see one last square of Barca, Ajax, Liverpool and Juventus. It's like one of the biggest hits of the competition!
David, Sheffield (Of course, the Europa is really what it takes …)
And if
Yes Dave, Somewhere you're right of course. If you remove more than half of the league titles Man Utds, then Liverpool will be five points ahead of Arsenal, his biggest rival. But if you take away Paisley and his 6 titles, 3 European Cups and 1 UEFA Cup, Arsenal has won most of the league titles, which is fantastic! Not only that, but Liverpool has only won the same as Notts Forest, who is at the bottom of the league at the moment.
Take the Shankly 3 and Liverpool only 9 league titles. Leaving Arsenal behind and Man U on the heels of Pool.
Double Wenger and we are flying with 20 AF cups and 16 league titles, without defeat for more than two full seasons and getting two doubles doubles!
I like this game.

What a difference a year makes
Last year, at the same time, the English fans lamented that the only reason their clubs were struggling in Europe was because of the intensity of the league and that a break mid-season would help the national team.
After 12 months of progress and the CL final in Liverpool, England in the semifinals of the World Cup and now, there are 4 English teams in the last 8 of the CL.
PL teams have destroyed the Germans in 3 different games, but do you hear the German teams complaining that their league is much more intense than the PL and that's why they lost? .Barcelona is the only Spanish team of the last 8 but do you hear Real fans or Valencia or Sevilla have declared that they would also appear in the last 8 games if they had Burnley, H & # Field, Cardiff, etc. in their league?
This fatigue / too intense discussions were always a waste, but the hype on the 4 English teams over the last 8 is nauseating. Now do not forget that none of them has won anything, the current holders of all the European trophies (+ the world trophy) are Spanish ET 14/15 European trophies (am including the supercup ) were won by the Spanish clubs how the PL is the biggest league in the world ???
I understand that BT & Sky is based in English and has experts in English, but slags from Rio, Michael Owen, Hargreaves, Sherwood, etc. have epic proportions (and that says a lot when talking about 4-4 Tim).
Wait at least that they have a few years of domination to win the European Cup before moving on to mind hyperbole state.

PS.A sign of Smiddy who said Liverpool would not win any matches in February and March and go to Bayern? Or was it signed by Sky for a 5 year contract?
Future Football
What about the praise of teenagers in the English team? Why is having great players in the future a blessing for the present? These adolescent prodigies should, by right, be part of the under 21, in line behind those who were teenagers prodigies five or six years ago. Having teens and 20 year olds in the team is surely a sign of failure.
Before the 2014 World Cup, I told my Spanish friend to remember the names "Ross Barkley", "Luke Shaw" and "Raheem Sterling". Even the F365 was enthusiastic about Luke Shaw, who "nailed left in the left-back for the next decade". I am not yet in touch with this Spanish, but as a Barca fan living in Barcelona, I would not be surprised if Raheem Sterling is the only name of the three people he knows. It is encouraging that Shaw and Barkley seem to have resumed their careers in the big clubs, but it would be hard to say that they are the new Ashley Cole and Steven Gerrard.
The fact is that the biggest indicator of institutional failure in English football is to salivate teenage players. What other great prospects were there? Jordan Henderson was one. Daniel Sturridge another. Do not even mention Jack Wilshere. Kyle Walker seemed to have really exploited his young player potential of the year until Rio and Joe Cole were caught in the act of embarrbadment, then everyone, including Pep, seemed to be upset. ;agreement. The best player in England is probably Harry Kane, and no one praised him as he visited the English clubs in the province as a teenager (non-prodigy).
To live eternally in the future as if potential had an intrinsic value in the present – while neglecting the present – was another cognitive failure badociated with the English national team. In six years, Jadon Sancho will be on the bench after having scrambled with his coach, Declan Rice will become a table hangman and all salivate in front of 11 year old children today.
If there was a future World Cup, we would definitely have a place in the semifinals. I can not wait for the parade of future open-air buses.

WTF, FAI?
If I were Gareth Southgate, I would go to Dublin this weekend myself.
It's not just a fantastic city, it's a holiday weekend because of St. Patrick's Day, which falls on Sunday.
This weekend promises to be a great weekend with 6 nations rugby on Saturday and the championships of all Irish football clubs at Croke Park on Sunday.
But if that's not enough, he can go to RTE Studio and participate in the FAI International Awards for 2019.
He will be able to see Emma Byrne join Damien Duff, Robbie Keane, Andy Townsend and Tony Cascarino to win his Hall of Fame Award.
He can enjoy a good meal and a glbad of wine, and perhaps a star of the future for England's national team.
WHAT? At the Irish price do you say?
Yes, because this Sunday, England International, Declan Rice, will be named Young Player of the Year of the FAI, a few weeks after his declaration for England.
Now, I do not feed Rice any bad faith during the statement for England, and good luck to him, but the FAI should surely have deceived that and attributed it to the guy in 2nd position.
This comes 5 years after Jack Grealish won his Under-21 Player of the Year award and quickly declared for England as well.
Once again, good luck to him is his choice.
So, forget all your expensive surveillance systems and your high-performance units, go to Donnybrook to see the stars of England of the future.

Pele> Messi and Ronaldo
Jesus cried, already enough with the debate Messi / Ronaldo GOAT
To clear things up and correct each of you, pleading for one of the above as the best of all time. They are not – they are indisputably the two greatest players of their generation, and certainly one of the greatest of all time, but the greatest? No
The greatest footballer who ever played the game is PELE
It has always been the people of Pelé. He has completely redefined the criteria by which you even judge what a great player is. If he was playing today with modern methods of training / fitness, the incredible feats of Ronaldo and Messi would only get them the silver and bronze medals. Not even if Maradona was so active now.
For what it's worth, here is my top 10 of all time in order. I'm quite happy with the order of my top 7 rankings, but after that I think it gets a lot more complicated, so I also made a detailed list of the other candidates that came to me in mind.
bare
Maradona
Messi
Beckenbauer
Cruyff
Ronaldo (C.)
Maldini
Yashin (because the goalkeepers are also footballers)
Puskas
Platini
Also for your consideration, in no particular order and probably it misses much more: –
Ronaldo (fat), Moore, Best, Zidane, Garrincha, Zico, Charlton, Alex James (deliver me – another mail for another time), Gerd Muller, Seeler, Xavi, Iniesta, Banks, Di Stefano
To you, do not exaggerate the legends of the Premier League, but add more defensive players and try to remember that the players were also great before your birth.
Rob, Bristol Gooner (obviously, Bergkamp is my subjective and subjective GOAT)
Messi and Ronaldo> Pelé and Maradona
I just wanted to say that I think we can all agree now that Messi and Ronaldo are better than Pele and Maradona. I know it's not a good idea to choose this fight, but I sincerely believe it. The standard of the game has continued to increase exponentially, and these guys are the pinnacle. Of course, maybe they would not have survived 5 minutes today, when people could get fired without fear of retaliation, but I think Maradona and Pele would have a hard time keeping up with the game played now.

Bugbear at Bayern
This morning's mail is not mentioned. I think of one of my enemies who played in the Bayern match in Liverpool last night. This is one of the things I would like to see the rules applied to. Henderson, injured, tries to keep playing, then, when he realizes that he has to leave, he sits in the middle of the field and stops the match. We see it over and over again, and players generally make sure to get down in the middle of the field to leave the referee with the game stopped. They will stay there until their replacement is good and ready to play. to start. As with last night, the referee can make a symbolic gesture of the arm to tell the player to go, the player will shamelessly ignore the referee and adjust his socks. 2 minutes later, the game will resume. This rarely seems to happen with a player of a team who strangely pursues a game.
It's as if the players get hurt right next to the field and then go back for treatment. I know that changes are underway for the replaced players to start on the side of the field that is closest to them in order to put an end to the slow, tedious march on the terrain that is often reserved for us. Well, I think this session to stop the game should also be dealt with. In fact, you can say the same of most players who engage in the field. In most cases, they are able to play and would therefore be able to make their way to the nearest sidelines for treatment off the field, but instead, the entire game stops. In the end, they only have to go for greeting a few seconds later. It's a joke. It's time to end the waste of time and the deliberate interruption of the momentum of the games
Gav, Ireland
Tammy in trouble?
Rob from Sweden – Are we talking about the same Tammy Abraham who scored 21 goals in 31 games for Villa, 3rd in the championship? The same Tammy Abraham that the Wolves wanted to sign 2 months ago? The same Tammy Abraham who is currently listed as having a market value of £ 13.5 million by Transfermarkt.com?
Who is full of bullsh * t yet?
