Oh wow! PSG 1 nil up
Champions League | Matchday 6
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Playing well right now I'm not going to lie. Much better start then vs Ajax.
feck me. what a hit 
These PSG shorts are an eyesore.
All the money spent on the forward line and him and Herrera have been scoring the goals.Gueye's 4th goal in 6 matches while being a lockdown defender.
If only somebody had suggested signing him this summer.
Love watching Verratti play.
I don’t see much value in comparing Verratti and Fred. You are the only person even mentioning them in the same sentence.
(well, I suppose I have now too.)
Verratti is arguably top 3 CMs in the world. Not sure anyone on here claims Fred is top quality. Will he ever be ? Don't think so either.
You really gonna compare Fred to Verratti?? What's next, Dan James to Messi?
I’ve watched PSG numerous times this season and am yet to see any of their front line score.
Verratti is a joy to watch.
Those Atletico kits are the ugliest thing I've seen in a long time. Holy feck
Verratti
Is Mahrez wearing an invisibility cloak?
Don't think there's any CM in the world that is as press resistant as Verratti is.
ExactlyI don't think anyone is claiming Fred is on Verratti's level
. Verratti is on a different level when it comes to defeating the press. Fred is a destroyer and workhorseI don't think the ardent of Fred supporters would dare compare the two.
PSG dealing with City much better this time round.
It's the bloke from Game of Thrones!
I see 'patterns of play' is the new pundit buzz word.
I think the point @NinjaZombie was making is that’s the kind of central midfielder we want and need.
They can only score if you look away.
Neymar with the rainbow flick 13 mins in

Only way this can get shitter is Cordon shows up

In fairness he's the kind of midfielder every team wants and needs because he's one of the best and most complete midfielders in the world. It's a weird post.
Neymar with the beach tricks.
I'm just saying that should be the kind of level you have to be to be considered as important to United as Ole seems to think he is.
It sounded so out of place when Keown said it.
I didn't realize he was a City fan. I'm deleting all his music.
The feck is Neymar doing rainbow flicking in that position
But the problem is that you can't play a midfielder like Verratti next to Pogba and Bruno either. We love to hate on Fred but a defensive midfielder who can successfully play next to Pogba & Bruno might not even exist.
That's silly. Unless you really expect us to have world class players in every position on the pitch? We need a better CM than Fred sure but let's be realistic too.
Neymar is funny
Almost created a goal.
Hes not a serious guy
You definitely can, for the vast majority — because you play to dominate possession and matches. In bigger games you tweak, but a Pogba Verratti pivot would have enough to control midfields against most sides around.
Moot point though, would never happen (at least for us).
Someone told me these lads would never be able to press
That's because he's constantly in space, and yet he's not been used a whole lot.
