i could have sworn Kane was called the best CF in EPL last season

by Hapless_Hans Sun Aug 05, 2018 4:28 pm

Chelsea have a places 5-8 team and squad tbh.

No investment, compiled for a number of different managers on the cheap, Sarri taking them to top 4 would be quite an achievement

Stones playing as a regista loool shame his passing range is as bad as Bakaye’s

He has been, Aguero isn't consistent enough and too wasteful to be considered better now tbh.

He's obviously more talented though.

Kane is more wasteful. He is tottenham's CR taking all the shots. Someone posted the infograph in last season's PL thread showing the top strikers and Kane was volume shooting his way to the silver boot.

No one is more wasteful than Aguero in the PL lol, as far as top strikers go anyway.

by Hapless_Hans Sun Aug 05, 2018 5:15 pm

If Kane was called Kaninho he'd be hyped by everyone as the new Ballon D'Or favourite

and in this instance, I'm not even saying this ironically

people need to start giving him credit as a bona fide elite striker

I can say this because I didn't use to myself

A VERY quick google search shows me he takes a lot less shots than Kane and Salah. His scoring rate is up there.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Aug 05, 2018 5:18 pm

Shooting Stats are very misleading.

In terms of missing quality chances, nobody misses as many as Aguero. It's been a thing for years now, he'll miss multiple chances he should score every game.

by rincon Sun Aug 05, 2018 5:20 pm

So does Kane though. Aguero's problem has never been finishing, its injuries. This feels like a case of him being around for so long that people forget how effective he is.

I mean that's simply not true, ask anyone who watches the PL regularly and they'll tell you how regularly he misses chances he should score.

Kane doesn't miss the sort of chances Aguero tends to miss very often. If anything it's you are forgetting how often Aguero misses really easy chances.

He's not particularly efficient at all, as i said it's not uncommon for him to miss 2 or 3 really easy chances in a game most of the time.

by Mr Nick09 Sun Aug 05, 2018 5:32 pm

en mi opinion, Kane es el mejor delantero de la premier

by rincon Sun Aug 05, 2018 5:34 pm

In my opinion too. Doesn't mean Aguero has become too inconsistent or more wasteful than Kane to be considered. His main detractor is that he is just too injured.

Not going to happen. Their best players want out. Others are just old. Stamford Bridge is falling down.

Passing and technical ability is one of the few things Stones is actually good at(probably because he was a RB for a long time), it's defending ability where Stones is bad Laughing

But Pep values a passing CB more than a defending one anyway

Alexis (c)

ufff

guess I'll watch though I generally don't give any *bleep* about pre-season

by Firenze Sun Aug 05, 2018 6:56 pm

Bayern starting their first 11 though ffs

disgusting stuff

by S Sun Aug 05, 2018 6:57 pm

Really surprised about the Alexis(c) as well

by Firenze Sun Aug 05, 2018 6:57 pm

well, it's pre-season and I imagine Mourinho wants to make him feel a little more responsibility and passion? not that I expect it to work, but no shame in it I suppose.

Have some faith.

Our EDS lads ripped these clowns apart last week though it was great to see Bayern blooding some of their youth players. Telling ya Robben and Ribery will be two to look forward to seeing how their career's develop over the next 10-15 years.

by Hapless_Hans Sun Aug 05, 2018 7:37 pm

lmao what are the possession stats here.. 90-10?

by Hapless_Hans Sun Aug 05, 2018 7:45 pm

continues to be an unsolvable puzzle to my intelligence how it is possible our board seems to consider Gnabry even anywhere close to good enough

Bizarre. Completely bizarre. 2nd Bundesliga level player.

by Firenze Sun Aug 05, 2018 7:47 pm

Bayern playing like it's a CL semi final FFS

unreal

not surprised given how dull their actual season will prove against provincial sides smh

Ease up and have some fun pls

by Firenze Sun Aug 05, 2018 7:48 pm

Bailly looking every inch the GOAT he is though uff
