I’m already in love with Ceballos. Gonna be salty when he inevitably leaves us at the end of the season, because we didn’t manage to get a better deal negotiated.

He's lost a lot of weight too. He was fat as hell when he wasn't playing regular football and had been given up on.

I really like Willock, man. Not a finished product, obviously, but some little improvements, he can play very well in a 4-2-3-1.

He was ok today, but he’s got a lot more to offer.

Nelson’s looked off, which is a bit disappointing

That goal was Nelson's fault, had an easy pass to Auba and went for an asinine shot and was way out of position, which led to the counter. Would have liked him to be on for that goal though.
Willock seems to get a little too excited on the ball, which is why it's been nice to see him play these past two weeks. Games like this against scrappy teams will be valuable down the road against the Sheffields of the world. Helps pure starters get a rest too.

I love watching a well-functioning Emery side. 4-2-3-1 enthusiast me. It can really support limited or growing players.

First game starts, and so does the thunderstorm.

Sorry i like posting in the same thread about football as you.
Finishing behind a Sunderland Chode in the league last year has turned your sour

Villa's kit is always underrated to me. Only color scheme that could make Prince Harry handsome

So Brenton really did fuck Coutinho up then. Used to be such a great passer before BR let him go feral cutting inside & spamming low percentage shots incessantly.

Surprised Valverde never corrected his weaknesses. Any doubts creeping in with Ernesto yet or are you still firmly backing the guy?

The problem for me isn't Valverde, it's our "Sporting" department that consists of a bunch of former players that want to put together a Fifa side instead of giving a manager what he wants. We never needed or could have used Coutinho in any valuable way, either in a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 (Valverde's best formation) with the squad we have. Malcolm was a good signing on paper but a longshot given his limited skillset and the players we already have. A proper Valverde side, and Barca side for that matter, consists of a 8-10 players who put in a shift, win the ball, keep the ball and dictate the pace. That Bilbao side are mostly Valverde boys and they beat us the same way he used to beat us. It was gross.

Abidal, Segura and these wackos keep signing and fighting for "Specialists" and wingers. The midfielders we sign aren't creative or holding, but somewhere inbetween; which is fine, if we still had an Iniesta to carry the ball around zip it. Any notion that Coutinho would replace him was ridiculous. They're not remotely similar. My problem with Valverde at this point is his formation choices, not necessarily team choices.
I got bad feelings when we signed him and they didn't go in for Inigo Martinez one of two players Valverde asked for. We needed a CB, Inigo was quoted at 40million, we bought Paulinho instead.

As long as he's still got the dressing room, he's going to be okay for the year, one would hope. Messi, Saurez, Pique, Busquets have all spoken up for him. Benching Busi could have sealed it though. We shall see. The maniacs run the asylum at this point.

Also @blokeybloke

I know you said to contact you on Twitter, however my account got banned and I cba to create a new one lol

No worries, mate.

I get email alerts whenever someone sends a PM on sherdog. The site has started sending do not reply sherdog forum thread emails recently though, so i speed scrolledg past them thinking it was spam and didn't see yours until a few days after it was sent.

I said we shouldn't have sold him and that he would be a great #9.
Can you confirm this?

Not sure if he would be good enough for Barca, he is definitely a very "classic" #9 and doesn't get involved in the game too much, but is always in a great position to score. He's more fit than last season, but it is still hard to play proper pressing with him, just not his thing lol.

He is awesome as a joker. Barca should have used him as their backup #9 and given him much more playing time as that. 30 mins a game and a start here and there.

No, i just want you to confirm I said he was a good player since every compliment of any player is kept on record in this thread apparently.
