  1. You compare Palhinha to Rodri all the time, but Rodri's top in this 'ancient' No 6 position. Main point I have, though, is I think this position is in the process of being phased out in many teams and replaced with a more mobile/eclectic/progressive player in this position such as what Klopp is trying to do at Liverpool with Mac Allister. Long term, Mac Allister could win a lot more points for Liverpool than Fabinho did. Palhinhasaurus, in other words. Great in their day, kind of danger of becoming extinct.

  2. Great work! Some suggestions for future videos: Scalvini, André (Fluminense), Wieffer, Onana (Everton), Kubo and more goalkeepers in general

  3. I think he has the ability to do well at a big club, but would need to be deployed in a double pivot to exploit his ball winning skills while covering for his deficiencies in possession. That's probably what Bayern had in mind (playing him alongside Kimmich).

  4. That’s one of the reasons why I don’t Liverpool signing him. The way the elite sides what from the DM is not where I see in Paulinha. He’s doesn’t screen like Fabinho does nor is he a conductor like Macca. He’s for the here and now although prior to him going to Fulham, he hasn’t played a lot of footy for his age so burnout might be far fetched. I like him but he’s not a game changing signing like Rice, Rodri or Fabinho

  5. Man City are looking for this profile of a player to replace Phillips. Aggresive in the transitions, wins alot of duels, loves defending, good mentality, seems well respected, I'd be amazed if he isn't already lined up for a City transfer.

  6. Thing is, he's a 30-40m player, just like Caicedo is a 60-80m player. The current market means you have to pay 50% over the odds for certain players, especially ones proven in the PL.

  7. Could you do brahim next? He's one of the most underrated players, playing in a club with expensive big name players makes people rate him lower than he is

  8. Hey bro, I've been watching you for over a year now and I appreciate the work you have been puting on reviewing the younger players, but can you maybe do some on the more experienced players maybe like a gundo,Thiago,veratti Just so we can know what to focus on more,other than that great content.have a good rest of your day😊

  9. As a Fulham fan, he is the heart of our team, and even though offensively he may not be owning the stat sheets, but he puts a stamp on the game, I think defensively he is still better than Rice, but If I was a big market team, Rice would still be my choice, as he is just better at almost everything offensively, albeit Palhinha still is a phenomenal player

  10. I do think that if Pal went to a big club, he would be much more defensive, and would consistently be a starting XI player in any club in the world
