    How do you compare Ancelotti with Zidane? I know a lot of Madristas who loved Zidanes tactics because he freed the players much more. Do you think Zidane is in danger of getting sacked at the end of the season? I think Atleti's transfer ban has really hurt them.

    City got quite lucky today. In the second minute it should have been a clear red card because they denied Vardy a clear goal scoring opportunity. With Stones out for 6 weeks, I hope their defence gets properly tested. Their upcoming matches in the next month against Spurs and United are HUGE. Personally I think City will win the title quite comfortably but I hope a few teams can put up a challenge.

    Seems like my team Chelsea have finally found their rhythm. The 3-5-2 works very well for us and the return of Kante has brought back our stability. 4 wins in a row in the PL with a big match against Liverpool to come.

    Tbh I'd rather watch you guys than us (I'm a Real fan), Marcelino has done a fantastic job in both a tactical sense and really getting the best out of those guys--Zaza & Parejo look reborn, the recruiting has worked wonders and hopefully we'll see you guys back in Europe again.

    Zizou and Carlo are both fantastic man-managers (minus the recent incidents at Bayern) but they don't have the crazy obsession of micro-tactics and detailing like Pep and Old Mourinho have, there are moments where we look so disorganized at pressing and look a bit confused in either late or early phases of possession. Zizou is still learning on the job and his record for us is insane so I hope we remain patient and just add some additions, hoping for Hazard :emoji_wink:

    City have been so disciplined and excellent but like you said I want to see how they handle these upcoming big fixtures. I've really enjoyed watching Chelsea, the 3-5-2 gets the best out of Hazard, Cesc and Kante with all that overloading the middle zones--forcing teams to leave the flanks vulnerable for crosses--and as long as that core can keep up their form I don't see why you guys can go far in both Europe and in the title race

    "Gianluigi Buffon was left on the Juventus bench in their defeat by Sampdoria, along with defender Andrea Barzagli, because "they need time to get over" Italy's World Cup exit."
