Hey FRENCH FRY… It's PENBAPPE That's NOT Good..
Get With The Program..
This Kylian Mbappé is nothing like the one we saw years ago at Paris Saint-Germain and the French national team
It is highly recommended and a MUST for Real Madrid management, board of directors, coaching staff, people working in their club who are involved on the transfer-market to permanently sell who are currently out on loan to play for another football club, do not offer a loan with buy back clause or with a number or percentage rights, recall or return players that are currently on-loan by another football club to play for Real Madrid, ageing ((28) years old and above), inconsistent (due to limited playing time, never have played and always on the bench, poor defensively, not performing well) regardless of age, injury prone, those who are not comfortable playing in different position, that MUST happen on or before July 2029. We are referring to Modric, Vasquez, Daniel Carvajal Ramos "Dani Carvajal", Courtois, Alaba, Rudiger, Mendy, Daniel Ceballos Fernández "Dani Ceballos", Jesús Vallejo Lázaro "Jesus Vallejo", Francisco José García Torres "Fran Garcia", Diaz, Juan Miguel Latasa Fernández "Juanmi Latasa", Reinier Jesus Carvalho "Reinier", & Guler.
Confirmed leaving Real Madrid as some will no longer renew, return to their respective football club that are being loaned out to Real Madrid and a few getting sold permanently with or without a buy back clause on or before September 2024: Rafael Marín Zamora "Rafa Marin", Kroos, José Ignacio Fernández Iglesias "Nacho", José Luis Mato Sanmartín "Joselu", Arrizabalaga & Nicolás "Nico" Paz Martínez.
Once they get sold these are the players should be sign based on their positions on or before July 2027.
Right Back: Jesus Fortea, Josh Acheampong
Left Back: Alphonso Davies, Joskol Gvardiol
Centre Back: William Alain André Gabriel Saliba, Vitor de Oliveira Nunes dos Reis
Centre Defensive Midfielder: Rodrigo "Rodri" Cascante
Centre or Attacking Midfield: Florian Wirtz
Lastly Real Madrid must never offer a contract to these players for a RIGHT BACK position, that are inconsistent regardless of age, poor defensively, has disadvantage of height and strength (lacks muscles), proven already that unable to stop wingers/strikers in different leagues, injury-prone, has beyond 60 million euro's transfer-market value, and ageing 27 years old and above, and turning 27 years old and above on year 2027. We are referring to Darmian, Walker, Trippier, Di Lorenzo, Cancelo, Kimmich, Dumfries, Calabria, White, Mazraoui, Ryerson, Wan-Bissaka, Molina, Alexander-Arnold, Hakimi, Tomiyasu, Royal, Dalot, Porro, James, Boey, Frimpong, Couto, T, Carvalho Santos, Livramento, Rensch, Terracciano, Gusto, Bradley, Sanchez, Fresneda, Lewis, Gray, & Lima.
Mbappe shouldn’t be taking penalties especially when his confidence is low ATM. If Madrid wants to increase his confidence, try to get a playmaker and help him get tap ins to increase his confidence.
He just sucks thats simple as it is. He isnt as good as he was hyped to be
In recent years to score from penalty is really very tough. Goalkeeper is being very smart day by day. In important matches penalty taker feels immense pressure during shot.
Overrated, accept it folks!
BENCH MBAPPE!
He shudv stayed in France since the French league is not as hype as La Liga, EPL, Serie A and etc….
Sell Mbappe to Bayern for $25 mill .
Mfloppe took the Qatari money bags, got bored with the keys to Paris, now Karma is catching up with him. Loving his downfall!
Most overhyped player in the history of football
he's overrhyped trash and always was
Said it last week, Juls and Frank still think its 2022. Get your heads out of the sand and stop being so transparently biased all the time. You are paid to give objective analysis and not be cheerleaders.
he is fat, he is on way to destroy his career like Brazil Ronaldo
you have to be a crazy eater while being a soccer player to get fat
to be able to get fat while being a soccer player, you have to be eating twice a normal man does
he needs two meals a day, less carbs less sugar, meals consist of mostly meat and steamed veggies dressed by olive oil
mbappe is like haaland, they are not christiano ronaldo or messi
they need to play in counterattack, they dont have much skills for small spaces
they need to play for a team which seats back, pass the ball in their back court then attack fast when theres space
alos he is fat and out of shape, spanish portuguese food is too good
Anceloti is the problem for RM losing, bench Mbape, Use him as a sub
It was an awful penalty against Liverpool and it was an awful penalty against Atletico. Neither were hit hard enough and both were at a perfect height for the goalie to save. Surely it can’t be too difficult for a top striker to hit the ball hard and just inside the post where it can’t be saved.
If this happened and that happened, yes, Madrid would win. I love hearing them make the lamest excuses for their favorite side when they lose
😅😅😅😂😂
Mbappe had 10 goals and 2 assist in 19 games by 1st of December
Ronaldo had 10 goals and 1 assist in in 19 games by the 1st of December in his first season at Real Madrid, but somehow Mbappe is a flop.
What has ever been right about this guy? How many excuses . . . MbooPoo
The whole La Liga is too hard narrative is BS, Ligue 1 is one of the most defensive leagues, almost every team plays low blocs, Most of the players are big packed muscled up Central and West African guys from former French colonies and Mbappe was smashing it in the ucl and world cups
Lol, Juls stop defending this brat. You're losing any credibility at this point. We know you love the guy but he's not anyone's GOAT. His disrespect to Messi was bad enough. I for one am happy to see him getting a reality check. It's one thing to be the "best" big fish (which he wasn't even) in a small pond but he's in the big leagues now. He wasn't ready. If his skills matched his attitude he'd be the world's greatest but he's not.
La Liga is what's wrong with him top league better defenders…better skill players…in that farmers league anyone can shine like a bright star….even Mason greenwood
The haters said Mbappe couldn’t do it in Madrid. And they were right, honestly great job haters 👏
Listen to Jules try to compare Mbappe's penalty to Valverde's mistake. Lol. An absolute clown
There’s only 1 Cr7
There’s only 1 Messi
Kylian , Yamal and all these new talented players will never reach goat level
Stop asking what’s wrong with them when they don’t perform well.
it was on target people forget the keeper saved it.
As poor as Mbappe has been looking while not chasing back or making runs he is missing chances he buried prior …,
any one saying hes over rated or the clown below saying Neymar is better Mbappe last world cup campaiign is bigger then Neymars career on top hes already helped win a world cup…
form is temporary… Ronaldo start at Real was no better but he wasnt missing these simple chances…
Mbappe will bounce back but he needs a stint on the bench which Carlo wont do…
as a Real supporter im more worried that we dont have a style aim system to suit our players the boys are starting looking un sure what to do, where to go… this last match Guler & Endrick were subbed on in the 88th min while we watched a un sure no confidence Mbappe for 90 mins & thats on Carlo
It’s not just penalty’s but also chances he should be putting away. Sometimes, the breaks just don’t go your way. Every striker goes through a dry spell at some point during their career.
He is over-hyped !! He is the new Neymar !!
Bellingham has been absent all season long. This is not the same Jude from last year
Fact is… Mbappe isn't as good as EA says he is
These guys are so boring 🤦🏾♂️
Juls is crying hahahahah
He has the same problem as Rashford. They are self absorbed. They are to concerned about being stars instead of being team players. They should focus on helping the team and their teammates rather than being stars.
Where france femboy from psg?
He come in big club n demanding club and he will not treat him like he use at psg period Madrid when the buy u the day u arrived there u have to perform what their buying u no other things no reason so mbappe now he got pressure cuz Madrid the want him to playing same like he was at psg but in Spain is diffirents league is not same like french league n even u can see him he playing with fear now n loose confidence that's is Madrid media fans everyone if they never see goals or carry the team they will come after u
Gab is losing it. Did he really say "If you take away the penalty miss and Atleticos goal" the game would be different? REALLY!?
With all the controversy surrounding Mbappé, it would be wise to bench him and give Endrick a chance.
God to toxic Messi fans – do you need a brain? Or anything yours which isn't being owned rent free by Cristiano.
Le Them* – No brain as we've WC. Btw, stats say….
God – alright I'm out.
Would love to see Juls' soccer jersey collection
For Gab to somehow find a way to spin this and say if Mbappe scored the pen Madrid could have won says all I need to know about this guy. Ridiculous 😂
Mbappe😂
so when madrid lose its "if mbappe didnt miss and valverdere didnt mess up they win" but when barca win its "their highline is stupid and if mbappe isnt offside they lose." 😅
