TEW Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 What a dreadful first half from Madrid. Atrocious defending and the lack of a striker is an enormous problem as I feared. Terrible officiating as well, but that’s not the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEW Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 This is the worst showing I’ve seen from Madrid in years. 3-0 2 minutes into the second half, should be 4-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t matter — Ancellotti might not have a job tomorrow. I’m not even exaggerating. I wouldn’t be surprised if Perez is on the phone with Zidane right now. This isn’t just a humiliating showing, it’s the complete lack of coaching and tactics. You play the same 13 players all season long in the same formation all season long. Then your star striker gets injured and you abandon everything and no one has a clue what they’re supposed to be doing. This game should be 6 or 7 nil at this point.

DaEagles4Life Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Ricardo Pepi is 10th in best prospects in the world, but can't get consistent playing time for the US team.

That's just... no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just... no. The one that surprised me was Endrick being so low. Every big team in the world is trying to sign him, and at 15 years old he will probably cost somewhere in the €50M+ range once he turns 16. The common comparison is Ronaldo Nazario, and it’s frankly not that far off. He has goal per game potential with Brazilian flair. Bosses guys 5 years older than him. Left footed, incredible technique, the balance of a tightrope walker and a natural scorer. If he hits a growth spurt and retains those traits he’ll be a generational player for sure. I’d take him now over Pepi without hesitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
