As awesome as this format is I think the OG is the more reasonable
Fans should be able view their teams play in front of them. And also by spreading games out I feel that it spreads the unluckiness in the role injuries can play. Imagine if Lewa picks up a 2-3 week knock midseason. He’d likely miss at most one CL match. Imagine he picks up a 2-3 week knock right before the tournament kicks off...

Man, United are so frustrating to watch. Guess that's karma for all the jokes I was making about Barca and Pep 
Wan Bissaka is an absolute baller on defense, but my god dude cannot put in a cross to save his life.
Also is it just me, or does Fred always look like he's just running around blindfolded on meth? I see him all over the pitch...just never doing anything useful.
We need a LB, too. Plz can we get Lodi?
And 2 CB and a DM...

What's the point of United getting into the CL if they are going to get washed in the group stages
Time to stop playing nice and just let Ole go and how is Maguire captain in his first season. Ish doesn't make sense to me. If I've been there for years and a new guy comes in and is made captain, I would do the bare minimum and collect a check

United need like 4-5 signings to contend for top flight trophies. Both fullbacks are below average attacking and it’s hindering them big time. United needs to throw the bag at Alaba and Sancho.
Sancho or Dembele

Graelish

Correction: Lindelof said “vai tomar no cu, filho da puta”.....
Even more disrespectful

I think the biggest reason/issue why most of the PL clubs are struggling for such long periods is because they think all problems can be solved by splashing cash on known/expensive/PL proven players. Nobody really does any scouting/development to groom young players or buy talented players with potential that are less expensive. A big problem is the fanbases/management not giving clubs time to develop a sense of identity or playstyle. Everyone wants the prolems fixed by signing a couple players. United buying sancho for 120 mill is literally going to fix nothing and then the board will say they bought the big name so they can't spend at other positions.
You have to build the base before you start going for the big money signings. Those should be the ones to finish off a rebuild/team, not the other way around. Perfect example was pool building up their squad for years and then capping it off with the 2 big signings of VVD and Alisson.
Every PL club thirsting for Koulibaly at 80-100m makes no sense when you have guys like Konate and upamecano available and ready to be sold for 40-50m who can be pillars of your defense for many years to come. If the scouting gets better then you don't have to keep throwing away bags of cash on guys who are worth nowhere near what they go for (maguire, drinkwater, etc). I think what RM and bayern are doing is the best way to go about it. We're both snatching up all the cheap young talent and throwing them into our academies then developing them for the future. Then if a couple end up panning out you don't need to make big signings to fill the holes. Even if they don't end up being on the level you can still more than likely turn a profit or break even on most of them selling to low/mid table clubs and use the profits to buy other proven players if needed.

He's white, british and slow so clearly he's gotta be the captain.

I don’t remember this at all but this came up....... hilarious
he came out with a list like he did in that RM press conference. And was yearning about wanting Sevilla players

On board with this. For as shaky as losing Pep (Bayern), and losing Zidane and CR7 (Madrid) could have been, both clubs weathered the “storms” relatively well and you’re seeing it now in continuity at the top. Barça, City, United, Arsenal haven’t handled player acquisition in any genuinely calculated manner besides $$$$$ and their fortunes have wavered significantly.
Then there’s Liverpool who are just humming on all cylinders right now.
