Dude, no. That's like comparing your midfield to ours. Kroos, Modric, Isco, Kovacic, and Ceballos would shred your boys. Statistics are misleading here. You can't park the bus on teams like us. It's suicide.

I think you underestimate Spurs.  They are physical.  They built a great team.  They do not give out many points.  What they lack is pace and can be in trouble on counterattacks.  Ronaldo is going to be 33 or 34?  Modric 32 or 33? They are about to hit a wall.

(seriously though, I'd love to see a match between them, would be fun to watch.)

To be fair though, they underestimate any team that's not La Liga. It's natural when you have a powerhouse team that does well in UCL year in and year out. Can't really fault them for that.

If they were in EPL, half of their squad be injured.  They would have not done so well in UCL

I don't. EPL teams can't seem to attack or pass efficiently against La Liga teams because they need space. Technique > Physicality. Teams like Barca, Atletico, Valencia, Seville and Real can play compact. Is it a coincidence that your English teams can't seem to get pass any Spanish or German teams in the last 5 years? I mean it was damn evident when our teens were depossessing Lukaku at will. 

You keep bringing up CR7 but you do realize we've got Kroos, Ramos, Varane, Modric, Theo, Marcelo, Isco, Kovacic, Asensio, Vallejo, Bale, Casemiro, etc. Soon Mbappe and/or Dembele. No matter how you slice it, Madrid isn't hitting a wall. We've got the next generation waiting on the bench.

I think it's a better test nowadays. It would definitely be fun.

Bale is only speed you have outside Ronaldo...  your team is slow outside those wingers.  Those wingers are your lifeline in creating space.  Also, Lukaku sucked against all top EPL teams.

Shows how much you know. Theo, Hakimi, Marcelo, Carvajal and Asensio are burners. That said, speed doesn't mean poo if you've got a crappy first touch and you can't pass in tight channels.

You tell me how much I know and then say stupid poo like speed doesn't mean poo.  Speed on wings is everything, it creates space for slow ass CMs to be able to pass and dribble.  Go look at speed ratings for your midfielders on FIFA...  your midfield guys are slow as fug, no offense.  Also, Marcelo and Carvajal play on wings and defenders.

sure as hell hope not. i want him to go to City on a free next year. he desperately wants to go there and will probably give PSG the same crazy salary demands he gave Bayern to get them off the table

He's going to be 30 next year...  he won't get a big contract next year.  His time is now or never.

Yea, Arsenal offered him $350k a week but he's refusing.  No way in hell anyone will pay him $350k at age of 30.  Alexis value next year will be only around £20M so if Arsenal loses him for free, it won't be a big hit.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
