Your percentages seem very minimalistic to me. Also in terms of the importance players have when they take the field.

I'm sorry, I probably wasn't very lucid when I replied to your post. I feel mortified.

No problem. We will find someone else. After all, RDZ anticipated Caicedo's absence in midfield by making him play as a RB. Gilmour doesn't have the same physical power. But he's a smart guy, a Jorgino distributor. I don't think McAllister will be missed much, just my impression. A player like...

Do you read a book a week? Very nice. I write novels and poems and I compose musics.

You know what the weird thing is? That whatever I say always sounds like an offense. Very strange. I am in love with BHA

Well said. I was just asking a question, aside from Mitoma: where were GP's eyes when he saw Enciso and Ferguson in the training camp? Do you think they ever took the field under GP?

Your numbers are undoubtedly correct, but as always numbers tell only a part of the story. I'm no good at this, but I'd like you to do the same math for Potter's Chelsea, if you feel like it. Or where Chelsea were in the table when Tuchel left and where when Potter left. At the same time...

Same here. We should resort to plan B. In other words, stay closed, close ranks, suffer in the defensive phase and be ready to leap forward at the first opportunity. I would do this if I were De Zerbi. But RDZ is different from me (apart from the zodiac sign). For him there is only plan A. That...

Humorous. Perhaps this translation might seem better to you: we got balls. Could keep on but I stop here.

Nothing mysterious. You just have to look at the minutes he played as starting goalkeeper after that unfortunate episode. If I remember correctly RDZ trusted him immediately afterwards (emotional intelligence) so as not to destroy his self-esteem. But the numbers speak for themselves.

Very true. He's good at hitting headers, he's good with his feet, he doesn't lose his temper, in the defensive phase he's the first one who throws himself into the slide, to tackle, to protect the goal. He reminds me of certain Italian defenders of the past, a Chiellini type (who, despite his...

Yes Sir, mille grazie.

As for Sanchez: I believe that RDZ hasn't forgiven him for that macroscopic error (I don't remember against whom), when the ball slipped from his hands. The fruit of apparent calm (presumption) and full of subterranean anxieties. In the RDZ system, the goalkeeper is equivalent to an...

It's not even that he can't play with his feet. It's rather that he slipped that ball through his hands. How many points did it cost us? Not even in the fourth division do you see a goalkeeper make a mistake like that. For RDZ mentality h'is definitely out.

Agree. Completely. Everton players seem to be they had their lifetime match. From the beginning (or the-get-go). Their first goal after few minutes have marked the game, as it was then. They have been physically strong, ready to counterattack. They took advantage of the spaces and were good at...

Absolutely this. This all works like happiness (if there is one). As soon as you feel happy, you feel sad because you want more, you want to amplify it, you want to emphasize it. And that's when you're starting to lose it. The secret of happiness is not the ghosts of the past and it is not the...

Noi siamo maledettamente (fottutamente) bravi!

Yes indeed, you are right. But Cassano (and Lele Adani) have De Zerbi's telephone number and it is true that they exchange opinions on a regular basis, especially RDZ with Adani. If time permits, I'll post an intervention in this thread about the first hand reaction of Guardiola and Estiarte...

I'm fine, for the record...
