Gerard Martin as a CB; LCB. The only doubt I would have is how much physicality can he impose on the opposition. He can grow to do it/remain a back up. There's just one established LCB in the team & he is a veteran. Can Martin grow to hold that big space?

❕Territorial Dominance/Suffocation: Flick wants the game played in one half. It is to squeeze & compress teams. The high line helps you to pin the oppositions’ in their halves. When they are there with short time to decide, then their passes are rushed, their exit routes are

When Pep speaks about making the first action between the CB & GK to create a chance with it, he was talking about a lot of actions from Gerard Martin here. The pass to Yamal, the pass to Raphinha, all leading to goal. These are the reasons it might really be as difficult for a

And as for Gerard Martin, he has rarely had a bad game, especially as a CB. Barcelona has to go get Marcos Senesi & Vuskovic (if they must spend). Martin is 24 years & could be the level you want or the comfortable rotation you can have. He deserves to stay. Throw all the big

Gerard Martin! Wtf are you bro?

EPL fans think Physical Fitness & Physique are the same thing. Excuse me? —Physical fitness is the ability to carry out your task without showing too much fatigue. —Physique is just how you look ie appearance; shape & form of the body. And good physique doesn’t translate to the

Lionel Messi leaves Barcelona, Fati was going to step up. Injury happened, he lost his pace & the player he was. Lamine Yamal appears. Even more talented. There’s only one club in the world that churns out these magnitude of talents.

Newcastle came picking their man to mark. Even before 7th min in the first half, that’s how high Dan Burn was willing to go in order to close Lewandowski. Sandro Tonali clearly keeping tabs on Fermin way early in the first half too. Yes, Newcastle doesn’t have Arsenal’s

You remember the Flick meeting after losing to Girona? It was easier to sell the players his system because he has won 4 out of 6 trophies he has competed for.

This is definitely one of Casemiro’s best seasons at Manchester United. He looks really tidy & keeps it simple.

Nah Spain is so stacked bro. They can easily go out there & win it.

Wait. Where have I been? The way Rayan (Bournemouth) creates separation is so unreal. One of those guys who can grow & leave the club in 3—4 years.

£65M Then we take the money to Arsenal & take Timber.

Al Ahly vs Esperance. Biggest match in the world today. Especially because Al Ahly is down 0 — 1.

Pickford is such a shot stopper.

Was it not against Rayo Vallecano that Joan Garcia won man of the match very early into the season? The 1—1 draw? They are the ones who have approached Barcelona with the most intensity and man—to—man that I have seen this season. Their intensity & aggression at Estadio de
