Tuchel's 14/15 starter comment explains his squad selection. He's brought a load of cheerleaders who know they won't be playing football, instead of players who'll push to start games. He may hope they don't pick up any injuries or suspensions across the tournament
If anyone else dares to say Declan Rice for Balon D'Or after that absolute monstrosity, you are telling tales on yourselves. Stinking, couldn't pass water.
No shots on goal for two hours after the fifth minute, averaged about two passes a minute, one of the most shameful cowardly performances ever seen in a Champions League final. Played for penalties and got what they deserved.
@pxpxemem@xGPhilosophy Celtic needed him to coach (twice) this season to pull them out of a hole created by data analysts thinking they could get a coach from MLS, but it took a 'dinosaur' to fix them. Also, they literally have not won it for the last 15 years, but I'm definitely the moron here....
@lfc862021h6tv@xGPhilosophy I fully understand xG, it's information to be used over long periods of time. Means very in an individual game, competition or a single season. Lies, damn lies and statistics. Use your eyes.
@pxpxemem@xGPhilosophy The same dinosaur just won 2 trophies with a team who should never even have been close, while people who love XG champion the fella Nancy and Martin who nearly destroyed the 2 biggest teams in Scotland. The same dinosaur who players love. But these lads know best π
@xGPhilosophy Big man has you lot sussed. Bluffers who know nothing about football pretending they know more than actual football people because 'data'.
@davidyelland How are you qualified to talk about his emotional intelligence? It's a statement many agree with, so hardly completely unhinged. Your response is closer to showing lack of EI in certain areas than anything Rooney has said here as he justifies his reason, where yours is an attack.
@Carra23 Keep digging there la...just admit you're saying it because you can't let go of the fact that his teams dominated yours throughout your entire career. It's ok to have resentment, but be honest about it.
This guard of honour stuff in the Madrid game is so cringe worthy. Just get off the pitch and do whatever you need to when the game is over. Ridiculous
@htomufc They are going to be so boring to watch, with absolutely zero flexibility in how he wants them to play. No mavericks, watch every wide player and attacking midfielder look horrible because of the set up, and then people complain about how they are playing.
That England squad is absolutely hilarious ππ so much for selecting players who have been playing for their clubs and in form. The equivalent of going into a Michelin star restaurant and asking for nuggets and chips.
