Re: Official : Antoinne Griezmann's staying at Atletico Madrid

Everyone and their mother know he's useless when not played as a second striker, which is a position that will never be available at Barça.

One of the dumbest signings in recent memory.

Nobody other than Busquets would be wanted by anyone in the top 4 in the PL.

Madrid has Kroos, Modric and Isco and they have Paulinho lmao.

Suarez is irrelevant if their midfield wasn't bang average at best.
and Thiago is coming...

which Thiago is that ! How the days have changed Proud

There is plenty he could've done in that situation but in typical Griezmann fashion he fell down and ended up with the famous slide tackle.

Didnt he used to finish all such chances for Atletico. I guess he needs more seld-confidence and trust of the manager and he might start hitting back of the net for most of these chances very soon.

Did Koeman really criticise him openly for missing those chances????

The guy is going to last shorter than the previous manager

He didn't, stop making out Koeman to be a poor man's Mourinho because isn't that

However, Deschamps said yesterday that Griezmann complained to him about not playing more centrally at Barca.

by halamadrid2 Tue Oct 06, 2020 2:48 pm

Koeman: Today, [Griezmann] had two opportunities [to score] and, for a player of his quality, he should've scored either of those two chances."

hmm

I see this quote only on goal.com, can't find it anywhere else. I watched Koemans post match comments and he said nothing like that hmm

Got it off Marca tbh

To be fair to Koeman Griezmann has been beyond outrageous. He says he needs to play more centrally but missing sitters left and right is unacceptable and soon he be playing centre-bench at this rate.

I mean hala have you watched these last 3 games? I don't think Griezmann had any impact at all in any of them. 0% of attacks came through his side for most of the time.

And sure maybe he is out of position but if you're 1on1 with the keeper it doesnt matter cause you have to score at least 1 out of 2 with his quality or at least come close :facepalm:

But it does nothing for his confidence when he gets criticised openly by his manager. Managers like that don't last long at their clubs

I have never rated Griezmann like ever. His level is Atleti, not Barca. He is a weak primadonna that can not be relied upon as Atleti found out

What he is doing in Barca's starting XI is anyone's guess. Fati is a better LW than him and a traffic cone is a better RW than him. Centrally he can not play because Barca don't play a 442

Waste of a purchase waste of money waste of squad space

But even after all that a manager should never air his opinions about his own players in public. Why do you think Valverde was loved and lasted so long while guys like Benitez, Solari and Setien lasted so short

Notoriously complain that you're being played out of position only to miss another 1v1 the next day. He's useless anywhere on the pitch

absolute turd, next stop: bench
