I don’t want to read the athletic I want you to tell me more information
HAVERTZ IS 6’4?!!!??
missed on this one onana is absolutely shite
Finally, Onana Is Having A Good Season 😅
Long form videos I beg
even though as a mere fan, I noticed this trend a decade ago.
So like to dedicate this to knob-heads board who were made this great club as Disaster United! 😤😑🍌
I've had this recruitment strategy for years on FM, nice to see ppl catching on 😉
Would be a great signing for Bayern
Yeah the Eriksens of the world are DONE for…
Weak, passing only midfielders who can’t defend.
Useless
I had no clue Rodri was 6’4”
remember having him, Ndidi & Ibanez in a back 3 for Bologna, conceded 14 goals in the league.
No way rodri is 6”3 💀
tbh i liked this guy since he debuted for everton… said he wont stay long in everton and now the big boys are coming for him
He is 6 foot 4, and you can’t teach that!
some scout somewhere in londonwould the old tiki taka Barcelona do well in current football? seeing as how they weren't the biggest guys
Liverpool playing with Robbo and endo 😅
"They called me a madman"- Sean Dyche, Big Sam and Tony Pulis
Which 'big' club would benefit the most from Onana's arrival?
As a Barca fan we feel it😢
Nahh I think it's because he's been Belgian
He basicslly means big teams want 5 to 6 genetically gifted athletes from an African origin who can do basic skills with the ball😂
Can't wait for football to go full circle and back to diminutive technical Spaniards. 😂
I actually thought you were talking about Obama the goalkeeper and this video was a joke
Arsenal competing for what?😂 My brother if they get knocked out by Porto in the Ro16 they'll have only the prem to compete for😭😭
Since when was Kai 6’4
while klopp is playing harvey who is 5.6
He's bang average
Onana is a decent Premier League player, not a phrase you'll hear often nowadays
and we know from the best team that has ever played this sport that size has nothing to do with quality or skill
Looks like the Prem is copying my FM strategy. Soon they'll be playing Onuachu and Weghorst up front and bidding their entire budget on James Ward Prowes
In JESUS NAME AMEN
Watch him every week he offers very little going forward severely lacks creativity.
I wonder if the whole level of players just went down or something. Idk if I’m bugging but I 100% believe Barcelona 2008-2015 destroys most of these prem teams.
I guess all the small ball players were some of the most technically gifted players to have ever graced the game.
Wtfff kai havertz is 6’4??
This has always been the strategy so there is no change. But having big physical players doesn't mean anything. All of the best players in history bar 2 or 3 have been very small. They fundamentally don't understand football if they don't know this.
Drogba and Ibrahimovic enter the chat. Everyone is Jose Mourinho.
Onana was a wonderkid. Big teams were always watching how he would perform in england before making the move.
