LOL can link same video with him scoring from 30 yards too though T_T
As Pat Nevin said, Morata has a football brain and Lukaku does not. However Lukaku has prem exp and is a way bigger unit physically.

Ehhhh maybe that was the best Neymar you have ever seen. Other than that this is a terrible opinion and should be derided.

No. A trio doesn't play as beautiful/good as a duo. A trio feels like "one person too much". Neymar+Messi, Suarez+Messi,
Robbery, Reus+Lewa, Ronaldo + Rooney etc.

Kroos/Modric/Isco works way better as a trio than a duo though

They don't even play together as a trio though how can you say that. Kroos and Modric where the DUO who helped Real's Midfield to the double not the TRIO ?

So One of the core things of the Pep system is to bring up the ball to the final 3rd and then allow the front 3 to express themselves. I see no reason why 3 players cant play "as beautfiul/good as two players and a good front 3 relies on all of its components. Infact if anything, when done well like MSN do on many an occasion it looks even better. The third player doesnt always have to be on the ball to add to the artistry either.

If 3 players felt to much the 4 3 3 would never have become a thing or died early.


Again unless you have a better explanation than putting 2 names together as shining examples of nothing burger evidence your opinion is still terrible.

This is why I support banning certain countries from participating in tournaments like the Gold Cup.

Banning certain countries? Did you actually just write that?

Yes look at the shit that is pulled every year in this tournament, look at last year where one country had players fake an injury then start to be carried off only to jump off and try and get possession, let's not forget certain country where they were intentionally trying to injure players of the Mexico National team.

Ban them until they can prove they are more disciplined etc.

It doesn't make sense to punish the whole team/country because of individual players in internationals as it's not really consequential on the country enforcing the players. Altho i dunno about the past incidents.

I agree the referees should be stricter but we can't ban half of the countries participating at the world cup. It's just how professional football works in many countries unfortunately.

Not talking about the World Cup, the Gold Cup, what chances do any of the countries of El Salvador, Honduras have of even qualifying for the World Cup.

Wow, now you sound very racist. I guess not surprising from the country who voted Trump as president...
You do know that Honduras was in the past WC?

It happens everywhere.

And btw a lot of football fans would welcome CONMEBOL and CONCACAF merging so we see more South American teams at the world cup, everyone can be arrogant about lesser football nations...

Chelsea payed how much for Morata ??? Hahahha thank you very much... Also thank you very much to City for paying 30 millions for the most useless player in our squad. Making deals with english teams feels great, no doubt about that.

Now, time to get one new forward and one young defender.
