Need Endrick, Antonio Silva & Gonçalo Ignacio videos 🤍
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.
Pavlovic next?
It is the lack of legs and age that make a liverpool transfer virtually zero.
Need an Harvey Elliott video .. in his best form he is soo good offensively AND defensively .. please do it as a continuation with the curtis jones video
What do you think of a Kimmich & Wieffer pivot? I personally perceive Wieffer as a similar player to Declan Rice
thanks for this video ❤
please you can post the full osimen video
Nice! Julian Alvarez please 🙏🏻. Thanks.
Lfc won't sign him… I can say that with confidence 😂😢
Do Kobbie Mainoo
Great work! Some suggestions for future videos: Scalvini, André (Fluminense), Wieffer, Onana (Everton), Kubo and more goalkeepers in general
bruno guimarães please
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).
Please do neymar in 2017/18 season
Would love a kobbie mainoo video
Amadou Onana 🙏🏾
Love this channel ❤
This idea players are done at 31 is wild. Plenty play towards mod 30#
Amazing content! Keep it up!
Would like to see Todibo analysis
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
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.
Has this guy ever put on a tape he was in love with? The closest I think he got to a perfect prospect was Pedri?
Need a mainoo vid❤
NEED A FLORIAN VIRTZ VIdeo
Joao Neves! Joao Neves!
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.
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
Very solid player imo
Need a Viktor Gyokeres/Santiago Gimenez vid man… are they really as good as hyped and are they worth it?
"How Good is Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen"
eager to see this 🔥🔥
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😊
Your analysis has levelled up a bit from when I last watched – I loved the breakdown of his long passing in effectiveness from different directions.
I think you are underestimating Palhinha's pace a little bit. He can run.
Great vid again! Can you do analysis about Julian Alvarez
Will you do a man city player video??
Could you do a video on Jarell Quansah Liverpool's rising defender please
we need this guy at liverpool please klopp make it happen
Do Douglas luiz video
Broja?
Analysis on the Real Madrid 11/12 team would be class, if you're doing throwbacks
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
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
