VillaChris Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Giroud seems to get better every season. I remember his first season at Arsenal, was very average holding the ball up with his back to goal, infact his general technique was mediocre. Also a perception at Arsenal he wasn't good in the big games. Masterful performance yesterday. Edited July 20, 2020 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I don't know what he was doing with that hand ball yesterday, but Paul Pogba has been sensational since he came back from injury. A true Rolls Royce midfielder. Not too many of them around anymore. United really need to upgrade on Matic and Fred and get someone on Bruno's level to sit in midfield with him if they hope to keep him for next season.

Generally I defend him when the press attack but thought he was woeful when he came on v Chelsea in the cup SF. Constantly giving the ball away which even at his peak he did with the long passes he attempts but offered little intensity tracking back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 so simple to say but Aubameyang is the most underrated player in the Premier League. He isnt flashy or amazingly skillful but is a goal machine. 70 goals in 109 games is incredible especially for a mid table team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Actually before yesterday I thought Auba had underwhelmed a bit in the big games for Arsenal. Missed a penalty last minute v Spurs in 18/19 that would've got them top 4 in the end, hardly touched the ball in the europa final and this season he did an awful miss in last minute v Olympiakos. Yesterday pushed him into the Alexis bracket at least. Still a bit behind likes of Henry and Bergkamp although of course they played in way better Arsenal teams. Need to find a better link up striker than Lacazette to really kick on next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes right up there with the best strikers in world football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has won so many trophies ,I remember watching a champions league semifinal and he got booked so he would miss the final but he acted like it was nothing to him.

villa4europe Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 goretzka to me seems to be a typical Bayern Munich signing broke through at schalke, got a lot of games, looked really good, was great for the U21s and flirted with the national team, had a bit of a ropey injury record meaning he doesn't play every game, signs for Bayern on a free transfer which should be considered outrageous but gets met with a shrug and a "that's Bayern for you" was part of a national team that didn't perform at a tournament, slips out of the lime light then pops up a few years later with a reminder that he's a great player they have so many great players playing at a really high level that then aren't discussed when it comes to collating these daft lists of players and then also some players who haven't been watched for a few years and are remembered in a way that doesn't reflect where they are now, boateng and neuer for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 They had 5 Frenchmen on the bench yesterday 4 of them full internationals, 2 WC winners and the 5th one a mainstay in their U-20 team. Apparently Pavard might be fit enough to start at RB in the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Really impressed with Haaland every time I watch him. He reminds me more and more of Gabriel Batistuta as in he has that absolute belief that he is going to score every time he gets an opportunity. Just brimming with confidence and makes it look so clinical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
