Alejandro Papu Gomez scores for Atalanta in 4-2 win vs. Torino

1. Hopefully Scaloni watched Barca game. Running players without the ball create space for Messi. No longer “give the ball to Messi and see what happens” tactics but movement with and without the ball works.

   • Honestly Barca is the last team that anyone should use as an example, besides after De Paul and Lautaro were introduced at the 3rd game of Copa Argentina started playing as a team for the first time in a long, LONG time. I think Barca is the one who should learn from Argentina.

2. Who is that ypung argentine centre back who signed from second division to Atletico Madrid? Where is he?

   • Mariano Gomez will be with B team. No EU slot available in senior squad. Wonder y ATl signed him on loan when they can’t accommodate him.

3. Mauro icardi scored twice today. Man you beauty 😍

4. Luka Romero again coming off as a sub in the second division. He is still 15. I actually don’t mind that they got relegated because he can get more minutes at a level better for him at the moment. And when he is in his late teens they could well be back in the top flight and he will get more minutes and exposure.

5. Icardi scores and I can almost hear romance king using this to justify that he’s better than Lewandowski for scoring more today.

6. Icardi gets his first goal of the season

7. Is Pirlo a Dumbass???How he had eliminated Dybala who is one of the worlds biggest star with a flop Spainard???

   • Dybala comes back from injury.

   • Yes and they also want to give morata his debut. He should play as a sub today and he is also coming from injury so Pirlo doesn’t want to overwork him. If this happens more often then I will be asking questions.

   • Dybala got injured because he was rushed back, so Pirlo learned from the Juve’s past mistakes and is being careful, nothing dumbass about it.

8. Di Maria is playing, no 4 match ban for him? Icardi and Paredes too. Paredes with Neymar and Draxler in the midfield. Funny.

9. Mingo is on the bench for barca

   • Yes and Perez was just n bench for atletico today as well.

     • I personally think that Perez should go on loan for one season to a top five league such as a team like Parma. I believe he will get a few minutes as he is but if Giménez doesn’t leave it would be a lot more helpful to be a starter in another club.

11. Guys, how was Acuna tonight?

    • Very good. Not so much danger in the left side so i was offensive with a very good activity

12. Man city conceded 5 goals may be this is the wake up call for Pep Guardiola that how bad is his defenders selection.Otamendi always deserved the starting spot.Pep does not have good idea about defenders but he is expert in choosing forward and midfield players especially forward players

    • When Otamendi play, they always take a lot of goals too..

      • Man city lost all Champion League knock outs without Otamendi and when they won PL Otamendi was their main part of team.With Otamendi they never conceded four or five goals

    • Otamendi is the worst defender i have ever seen. I think we need to test Medina and Nuhen Perez in our defence.

      • They conceded not for the centre backs,Eric Garcia and Nathan Ake were superb. But their full Backs and DM(rodri ,fernandinho) were awful and couldn’t stand Leicester’s counter attacks. If otamendi was there,they would have conceded 10

        • CB needs to adjust themselves according to fullbacks,Otamendi would have been difference.At least Otamendi never conceded more than three goals in city.There is no excuse for five goals.Pep Guardiola needs to learn about defensive traits too.

          • In my opinion Otamendi needs to be fazed our over the coming year if he doesn’t go to Benfica and perform better and even to a degree if he does. Getting rid of him immediately? No. But Pezzella needs to stay because of his experience and leadership. The only problem is speed which is why whoever takes over Otamendi’s spot needs to have some speed to outweigh the issue with Pezzella.

13. Either Lo celso or Ocampus going to be sacrificed for Papu Gomez.I can take anyone out for Papu Gomez.With Papu on the pitch it is goi g to be paradise for Messi and Aguero or any striker.

    • Lo Celso overrated player.

      • Overrated? Have you seen him play? He is unlucky to not get direct goals or assists.

        • I think he is most likely romance King or an acquaintance of him , who is hurling abuse against argentines for getting booted out of here. Not goona say that, we haven’t seen people like him in the past. But he could be another possible Argentine curser.

          • nah,he was before romance king

          • I’m probably wrong but KingMessi could be RomanceKing alt account.

            Right after the glorious Romance ban, KingMessi mentions freedom of speech and Che Guevara! lmao. random internet posters never seize to surprise me.

        • He may score goals. But he looses the ball very easliy and he is slow and he cant defend. He is not improving at all.

      • Shut up.
        Lo celso is a class act, the way he runs the midfield by his own pace is remarkable and truly underrated.
        Yes, he needs to start racking up some assists or goals now. If he is playing as a no.10 which he is playing these days then he has to make difference in the final third.

        • I believe he has been unlucky with goals and assists. For example he has created own goals and has had (I believe) possible assists rules out last season. Last game against Southampton Son and Kane were the stand out performers but Lo Celso created the opportunities for Kane to assist and worked well in the midfield. Dare I say he is underrated by fans outside of Tottenham. If you don’t watch him play you might think he is not useful for his lack of goals and assists. Even with this he has been voted man of the match multiple times and has been on the top four voting list for man of the match. He has also benched Dele Alli entirely and convinced Joe Mourinho of his ability which is why the squad will be built around him this season. Starting outside of Jose Mourihno’s plans and convincing him that you should be in them is no small feat. He works tirelessly and a midfield with him and De Paul should to an extent outweigh the laziness of Paredes.

        • we have messi, dybala for number 10. Do you want more number tens in our team??

      • I agree with you in toto.

14. Excited to see Gomez + Messi on the pitch together. I’m not sure how its going to work or who needs to be sacrificed to fit them but im looking forward to it nonetheless.

    • Papu is great palymaker. But we need hard working players. Since messi doesn’t work off the ball we need more work horses.

      • HARDWORKERS LIKE LO CELSO

      • To have a player like Papu feeding goals to Messi, Agüero, Martinez, etc is the makings of a world class attack (well our attack is already world class but MORE world class which is quite a bragging right to have). The only problem is that we have to sacrifice an amazing player for him, either Ocampos or Lo Celso. I believe we should use him interchangeably between the two and have Papu or one of the aforementioned players come on as subs based on who needs more rest. This adds great depth to our team. Ocampos could be used when we need to defend more or need more physicality. Lo Celso can also defend to some effect deeper midfield. This gives us a lot of options.
