    I think I talked about Ziyech some time ago, Morocco is gonna give Spain and Portugal a surprise in the group stage. Wonder if any team will ever take the chance on Dolberg or do you think he's stagnated a bit?
    I used to idolize Mou but it's become apparent his philosophy isn't with the current more ball-oriented defending and the decline of role specific offensive players that have rendered most of his neutralization/exploitation tactics to oblivion. He has so many great offensive talents that would benefit from a coach that gives them less tasks and more freedom to express themselves, that's why he wants more two-way players like Willian on the team. Wish you guys the best for next season, this transfer window will be crucial to catch up to City.

    Dolberg was great last year as was the rest of the team. Lots of players were a little overrated though because they were AMAZING in the EL.

    Guys like Younes and Dolberg could have been sold for a lot of money. Look at Sanchez, they got a great amount for him.

    Now this season the team was pretty terrible mostly and the value of the players they didn't sell went down a lot. Younes never reached the level he had in the EL. Then Kluivert replaced him but he didn't prove anything either. Difference is he has more potential than Younes.

    As for Dolberg, he has been injured for a long time. He returned a few weeks ago but since Ajax didn't do anything memorable this year and most players didn't reach the max of their potential, my guess is that Dolberg will stay.

    United have a lot of work to do if we are going to challenge for the title nxt season... Jose's style is so d--- boring, i think he will be gone after next season tbh.

    But yh, United were the better team but still average smh. Honestly fam, 90% of the time I watch them play, I feel like falling to sleep lol.

    Still can't believe we got into the CL final with Karius, Lovren and Henderson starting almost every game.

    Havent been paying a lot of attention to the football this season, a lot due to life getting busy and not being able to stay up till 3am to watch the games :emoji_slight_frown: And also just really dedicating myself to basketball....

    But my god it hurts to see how good Mo Salah has got. Another player who wasnt given a proper chance at Chelsea.
    Imagine an attack that consists
    Salah - De Bruyne - Hazard
    ........... - Lukaku -

    There have been some great performances regardless of league form/antecedents, look at Milner leading the UCL in assists! I'm actually more nervous about this final than last years against Juve, those idiots tried to neutralize us meanwhile you will be the first team in these 4 finals we've been in to actually try take the game to us.

    Unless either manager has some crazy surprise, I think it will go down to if you guys can expose us on the counter (Marcelo vs Salah is concerning) meanwhile if you guys can withstand us having possession and finding holes in the defense. May the best team win m8

    Below average teams or not you still have to win those games, see United against Sevilla.

    I would like to think that the 2-4 against Roma was down to the players being tired, but I can see this game being a goal fest like that, considering both teams are pretty bad at defending. Can't wait.

    They are known to flop at big tournaments. Will be interesting when we play them in the group stage.
