Off Topic European Football

[Rob]

Hasn’t the guy he has accused denied it and said Neymar should learn how to lose or something?

[Woody]

I cant stand Neymar. He is the biggest baby there has ever been in football. Unless he is top dog he drops his dummy everytime.

 

[Rob]

Here’s a question for you folks: who would you rather have in your team out of Neymar, Hazard, and Mane? 

[Ashez]

Mane without a doubt. We were talking at work the other day and regardless of how many Salah scores Mane is the one I'd keep. 

His desire, drive, energy and never give up-ness reminds me of Gerrard so much. He's so often the one grabbing us by the scruff of the neck and driving us on. Obviously he's a completely different player to Gerrard but he has some of those qualities to his game.

Hazard

Chelsea seem to have sold him at exactly the right time as he has had nothing but injuries since he went to Madrid and is carrying a fair bit of timber as well.

[Ian]

Mane without question for me.

I wouldn’t want Neymar anywhere near my team and there’s just something missing with Hazard and I’ve always thought that. 

[Aaron Thornton]

Can't stand Neymar, whiney c**t. Big fan of Hazard, really like how he makes it look like Fifa when he's slaloming through defenders. But Mane is number one, a complete all around Winger if that's even a thing, (he's made it a thing) work rate, pace, top finisher, not much he doesn't have in his locker

[Kanegan]

Undoubtedly Mane, the only top performer who remains pretty much injury free.

[Rob]

I agree with you guys. I just find it amazing he isn’t mentioned in the bracket of best players in the world as, as Ash said, he has everything.

A team in Estonia subbed a player off 10 seconds after KO last night.
The squad rules in Estonia say that there must be 2 homegrown players in the starting XI but the club had a number of players out because of Corona and injury so they had to pick a 16 year old to start who then immediately was brought off.

That's harsh but inventive way to get around the rules, I'll keep an eye out for him on FMM in the years to come 😂😂 

[Rob]

It wasn’t to do with him being rubbish; he just had to get back home for homework and then bed.

[Rob]

Spurs are linked to Skriniar. In FMM he is really good, but what’s he like in real life? I don’t watch any Italian.

[Aaron Thornton]

A big, mean, eastern European machine😊 in all seriousness, he is quality should improve your defence

[Rob]

Who would you compare him to?

[Aaron Thornton]

Not really sure, he's a bit like Alderwiereld before the injuries, can pass the ball comfortably and loves a physical battle

Pfft surely you've a kid you could give a shot to? 🎣🎣🎣

[Rob]

So, bit of a random one this, but who does everyone think are the top five players playing in Europe at the moment? Not in order... just five.

[Aaron Thornton]

Heung Min Son, Robert Lewandowski, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Harry Kane and Erling Haaland

 

It's a bit top heavy but these are my 5 best right now

Ohh Rob why have you asked this, been over thinking this for a good while now 🤔

I feel like I’m being swayed maybe by certain leagues because I haven’t watched a load of European football anymore as they took Spain and Italy away from sky sports and bt sports a while ago, but I’d go for Lewandowski, Kane, Son, Salah, Thomas Muller.

 

[Rich]

Ansu Fati just becomes the youngest scorer in el Classico history, but what I wanted to say is how much better would it be if he was Andy fati, like my spell check keeps telling me his name should be?

[Aaron Thornton]

I like that we both chose Heung Min Son, IMO he is the most underrated footballer in the world right now and has been for a few years now. Its a bit cliché but if he was English we would hear about him every second of every day

He’s brilliant, he is world class for me. We have a bit of a joke of here in Wales about how players would be more expensive if English, what I hate about your media is though how much they try there best to do dirt on your own players, would never happen in Wales 😁

Good to hear, yeah our fans were legendary at the Euros, I never got to go, one of my biggest regrets 😔 but watching the team and the fans was brilliant. Only Northern Irish fans would sing about a player who done nothing but warm the bench all tournament 😂 we all really wanted Michael O'Neill to play Will Grigg but he wasnt having it

[Ashez]

I love Son, he's someone who I'd love us to sign and I've said it hundreds of times.....But he's not even the best left winger in the league never mind the world. Mane runs rings around Son.

True Over the last few years,. I had Mane so close to the top 5, but it was at the moment and Son has been better than any left winger in the least few weeks. Over the last few months and years, Mane hands down.
