[0:04] rankings. But before we get to that, we're
[0:06] going to be doing our reaction to the Manchester United
[0:08] Liverpool game. And news is coming out.

[0:15] Box podcast. Let's go.
[0:16] You ain't going home your. Honor, I'm sorry, your Honor.
[0:18] I'm sorry. Don't compete with City.
[0:26] This is a failure of the season, I can already tell you.
[0:29] I'll tell you in advance you failed.
[0:31] I'm going to take a central midfielder.
[0:36] What? Yeah.
[0:37] No that. He is the worst midfielder for
[0:40] Real Madrid this season. That's what you're saying.
[0:43] Neymar was the worst player in MSN First.
[0:52] Happy New Year to everybody watching.
[0:54] This is our first podcast in the new year.
[0:55] Yeah. New Year 2025 I.
[0:58] Don't think we changed that much.
[0:59] No, nothing, ain't nothing. But what did they say ain't?
[1:02] Nothing like a Dave. No, I don't think so, no.
[1:09] But keep, we'll keep it on track for a second.
[1:12] Yes, we just hit 20,000 subscribers on the podcast
[1:16] channel. Thank you everybody.

[1:24] from you guys on all platforms. So we can't thank you guys
[1:26] enough. But 20K huge milestone for the
[1:28] podcast channel. We're excited for the next.
[1:31] We're nearing 30,000. We 30,000.
[1:34] We're hit it by we won't hit it by tomorrow, but we're nearing
[1:37] that. So we're going to be posting our
[1:38] power rankings there as well. So if you guys want to check out
[1:41] our Instagram links on board. As per usual.
[1:43] But yeah, this week, I mean, we just finished what we we
[1:47] finished streaming today, the live stream of the Manchester
[1:49] United Liverpool game. That was pretty sick.
[1:51] That was the type. We're gonna be doing a lot of
[1:53] big games on live streams, so we're trying to do more live
[1:56] streams if you guys are interested in that type of.
[1:58] A watch along like a watch. Yeah, more watch along vibes.
[2:00] We're we have the game on. We're not commentating.
[2:03] We're not like a let's say a Mark Goldbridge is we're vibe
[2:06] game. Yeah, exactly.
[2:06] We're literally thinking about any conversation.
[2:08] If you guys drop in the chat like we'll speak about the stuff
[2:10] you guys want to speak about We're.
[2:11] Keeping your brains like, like you have a full brain.
[2:14] Half of it's the game and I know the other half.
[2:16] Sometimes you guys be scrolling on Twitter watching the game.
[2:18] We're filling the other half of that brain while you guys watch
[2:20] the performance. And the turn out was amazing
[2:22] today for sure. I feel like I felt it in the
[2:24] comments. Basically almost 2000 viewers
[2:26] basically pretty crazy. Every live stream we've done now
[2:28] we've done. We did Arsenal, Man United like
[2:31] a month ago we did Club World Cup and now we did this, the
[2:34] Club World Cup draw and this game, it's like almost 2000
[2:37] viewers every single time so. Which is great to see that
[2:40] people are watching stuff with us.
[2:41] So we can't thank you guys enough for the support and we're
[2:44] expecting some big games to be coming up and down the road.
[2:48] So A. Classical, potentially a.
[2:49] Classical. Just one, one last thing because
[2:52] you know, a new year, we'll we'll do something for a new
[2:53] year. We won't give any like what am I
[2:55] giving up for new year or whatever, but solutions.
[2:58] What would you guys like to see for box to box in 2025?
[3:01] One thing, it could be a collab with a something.
[3:04] It could be like that. It could be a player.
[3:06] It could. It could be anything that it
[3:07] could be something light, something heavy, number,
[3:10] anything. I think maybe like maybe an
[3:13] overseas collab or something like that with.
[3:16] A creator with a player. With with both, honestly, I
[3:19] would, I would really like to work with clubs, but there's
[3:22] obviously so much value with working with other creators
[3:25] because you guys are growing like we're growing with other
[3:27] creators in the same space. So we're helping each other grow
[3:29] at the same time. But yeah, working with clubs
[3:32] would be a huge goal. Actually, that's a good
[3:34] question. Then if you guys, I mean you
[3:36] guys know, you guys watch other creators, we have some in mind,
[3:39] Who do you guys think Boxer Box be perfect to collab with?
[3:42] It's a good question, but I'm sure they know more than anyone.
[3:45] Yeah, for sure. And I, I think I personally
[3:47] think like collabing with a player on the on the podcast
[3:50] that would be sick. That's like the go to.
[3:52] I want to get somebody on this podcast that being maybe not, it
[3:54] doesn't have to be physical, but just like I want to get a big
[3:56] player on the pod. Honestly it doesn't even have to
[3:58] be big, just someone that's. Good at conversating.
[4:00] Listen to like we just they just interview them and I, I feel
[4:04] like if we had a no player or something on here, like it would
[4:07] be fun to just ask them questions about yeah, not even
[4:09] not even about like or you're fitting into Amarim's or three,
[4:13] five, two or three. Like, I don't care about that.
[4:15] I really. I wouldn't even how did.
[4:16] You get to where you are today. Like it's that that I want to
[4:20] kind of know it's. More like just getting like just
[4:22] a friendly conversation. Yeah, like imagine just the
[4:24] cafeteria talk with, I don't know, like in layout like that
[4:28] being seen. You know, just you don't want
[4:29] them to feel like they're doing an, an interview with like for
[4:33] our Canadian viewers, like a TSN yeah.
[4:35] Or a view like a sky sport or something where it's like script
[4:39] by the book. Like we, we, we've always been
[4:41] free flowing. We're free flowing on the.
[4:42] They have the questions already, so they know what the.
[4:44] Answer like we want to make it like a casual thing.
[4:46] Like, that's a big goal, I think.
[4:48] And very achievable you guys, you guys like skated over the
[4:51] question. So I'm going to go mute more
[4:53] straight up I'm going to say a YouTube video with over
[4:57] 1,000,000 views. That's going to be my actual
[4:59] goal. OK, that'd.
[5:00] Be. That'd be pretty.
[5:01] I want to see the M. Yeah, yeah.
[5:03] Like like we've hit, we've hit, I think our first auctions
[5:06] AT700K around a bit more so like that that 1,000,000 breaking
[5:11] through that that like barrier would be kind of cool because
[5:15] you always think as a kid growing up, like, Oh my God,
[5:17] YouTube video with a million views.
[5:19] But it's a lot more achievable, I think than than like people
[5:23] make it out to to like seem so. And you to get a million, you
[5:26] need to do something like groundbreaking.
[5:28] Exactly. It can't just be like a usual
[5:30] video. Exactly.
[5:31] So if if we get the million, that means we did something
[5:33] great, which I'm sure we'd be proud of.
[5:35] You know what I mean? Exactly.
[5:37] I don't know. There's a there's a lot to
[5:38] happen in 2025. Yeah.
[5:40] It's a long year, Yeah, long year.
[5:42] Well, we're just not the beginning of it.
[5:43] Yeah. So we definitely have room to
[5:45] grow. We have room to improve on
[5:46] ourselves on box to box. So and should be an exciting.
[5:48] Also, and this might be an ambitious one because we're
[5:51] closing in on 500 members on Patreon.
[5:54] Who's to say like 750 members, 800 members?
[5:58] I was about to say 1000. 9 numbers I didn't.
[6:00] Wanna go crazy? You know I'm saying.
[6:02] I'm gonna say 1000 that. Might be a bit too ambitious
[6:04] the. Discord Discord will be bumped.
[6:07] The discord's bumping already, no?
[6:08] But it would be like overflowing, yeah.
[6:10] Yeah, yeah, I. Know that how many how many?
[6:12] We have like 250 on the discord 3 almost 300I.
[6:15] Think which is really good because we have 450 patrons.
[6:18] Yeah, so imagine like 500 in the discord maybe that's actually
[6:22] like crazy, like Chanos busting every time everyone.
[6:24] Everyone's just like tagging. You just get all the comments.
[6:27] Yeah, yeah, yeah, really. How would you know No.
[6:29] Trust me, I got them. You know, get those, those
[6:31] Millie gets the tag. Oh my God.
[6:33] Mode. Ridiculous.
[6:36] Ridiculous. I can't believe anyway.
[6:38] How about we talk about some football New year?
[6:40] Let's keep it, keep it on pace. Liverpool Manchester United 2
[6:45] two draw back and forth game. Very interesting.
[6:47] Varvar, what are your initial thoughts as the United fan?
[6:50] I think we played very well. I think if I had to give rate
[6:52] the performance out of 10, I would give it like an eighth.
[6:54] I think going away to Anfield, place where historically, by the
[6:58] way, Oh Nana has never lost that Anfield, by the way, just want
[7:00] to put that out there. Do not care.
[7:02] But a place historically where we've had very big troubles
[7:06] playing, I think that's a performance you can be proud of
[7:09] and one you can build off of, especially because the last four
[7:14] games have really been pretty bad.
[7:16] Very depressing. I would actually say depressing.
[7:18] Like it's it's kind of felt like it derailed our entire season
[7:21] because that's when Ameren came in.
[7:23] You kind of felt that momentum building, momentum building and
[7:27] then the last four games, like is like a crash.
[7:29] I don't even know why, like, like we saw in this Liverpool
[7:32] game that your team is able to actually compete with the best
[7:35] team in the world. But then you look at the past
[7:37] games, I forget exactly who you played, but they were just
[7:39] shambolic. There were Spurs.
[7:42] Bournemouth destroyed you. Yeah.
[7:43] There was, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to give you the
[7:45] exact teams because I don't want to.
[7:47] I don't want to but like. It shows that it's a mentality
[7:50] problem. Tell you who?
[7:50] You lost to Bournemouth, 3030 to Bournemouth, I said Wolves lost.
[7:55] Newcastle to nothing and Wolves to nothing, I could have told.
[7:57] You all of them bro. I've watched all of them twice
[7:59] before. This game we hadn't scored in
[8:00] three games. Yeah, that's rough.
[8:02] But but strikers I see. But the worst part is that I see
[8:06] what he's trying to cook like I see it.
[8:09] It's very visible, He. Doesn't have the pieces.
[8:11] I think it's completely in the past it was kind of a manager
[8:15] issue, kind of a player issue that like, you know, the players
[8:19] aren't good enough, but like also the manager is not giving
[8:21] you a good enough reason to back him.
[8:23] But now you see the system, you see, OK, he needs a player that
[8:27] could do this. And the players that we have
[8:29] right now are not available to like can't do that.
[8:31] I mean, you can go through the starting 11, There's certain
[8:34] positions, you could say all like we're set in that position.
[8:36] Like Ugarte Ugarte, since the beginning of the season, I've
[8:39] always found that he's fit like a glove for for the Manchester
[8:42] United played. Pretty well OJ Simpson glove.
[8:45] OK. And then, like Bruno, Bruno's
[8:47] played very well, I think, in. Line of the match against Liver
[8:50] today. Was impeccable.
[8:51] Like, impeccable. Bruno has not played well this
[8:53] season. He's played.
[8:54] OK, he's played OK, but today for the.
[8:56] Game I think you even said on the live stream he's not been
[8:58] good this season. The problem with.
[8:59] Bruno by Bruno standards, but one standard I know.
[9:01] But there are standards for a reason, The.
[9:02] Problem with Bruno is that he gets red cards out of nowhere
[9:04] like he needs to have. Been an issue before this.
[9:06] It's. Been an issue every season.
[9:08] He gets at least a red card every season and it shows.
[9:11] His leadership is always a little bit inconsistent.
[9:14] That I agree with though he should not be the leader of that
[9:16] team, he could. Because he's probably the best
[9:18] player on that team. But if you're gonna be the best
[9:21] player, you can't get red cards. Yeah, but.
[9:22] At the same time, it's like we're not in that locker room.
[9:24] Like we don't. Yeah, we don't know.
[9:25] We don't know how Bruno is with the other team.
[9:27] I'm sure he's a good leader. I'm sure if if they trust him to
[9:30] be a leader, there's a reason for it.
[9:31] Yeah. It's just more like his on field
[9:35] temper let's say. No red cards last year in the
[9:37] prom. Like especially this season.
[9:39] Well, but. No reason cards the year before
[9:41] that. This season.
[9:42] This season, yes, it's an issue, I agree, but this season it's a
[9:45] it's two in the Prem yes it. Could be just frustration
[9:48] honestly. Like obviously when your team is
[9:50] not, I don't blame well. It's very difficult.
[9:52] You made it. Through you made it through all
[9:53] of 10 hug. Made it through all of all
[9:56] almost all of LA but. When you show that you could
[9:58] actually like you had a flawless game today against Liverpool,
[10:00] When you show you could be that guy, why let your temper get to
[10:04] you? You know what I mean?
[10:05] But. I agree but but we'll.
[10:06] Be talking about someone soon. But I'm not exactly not looking
[10:09] at that team and saying, Oh my God, we need to replace Bruno.
[10:12] It's not, it's not like there there's a lot of gaping holes
[10:15] like for me that will play decent today, but I would still
[10:17] left wing back is crucial. Lisandro played decent today,
[10:20] but once again I think, I think those outside center backs and
[10:23] the outside wing backs are. Must replace.
[10:25] I think striker is crucial. Striker.
[10:27] I agree. Also, if you can go to get
[10:28] Victor Oziman in this transfer window, I'm saying go do it. 62
[10:31] million, the release clause, you got to go.
[10:33] You need goals. Like your strike?
[10:35] When's the last time Hoyland scored?
[10:37] Well, I mean, it's 2. Three games, it's just.
[10:38] Not a three month situation, no. No, but like three games ago.
[10:42] Like, well, we haven't scored in three games, so I'm assuming it
[10:44] was somewhat. Back that's scored.
[10:46] Versus wolves. We didn't score against Wolves.
[10:49] It wasn't 2/1. No, it was 20, yeah, no, but I I
[10:52] think leaving today you can have a lot of optimism for the for
[10:57] the fixture come coming up. Yeah.
[11:00] Who are you playing next? Is that?
[11:04] One thing I will say is that I don't think it's a guaranteed
[11:06] like get the signings the team is automatically going to be
[11:09] good. No, yeah, because on the FA Cup
[11:11] nice cuz yeah, that's true next Sunday, next Sunday at 10.
[11:16] But we said that about 10 hog like wait for the signings and
[11:20] then he's slowly just having more and more signings and then
[11:21] the system never changed. I know you're gonna disagree
[11:23] because. Disagree, because there was
[11:25] never a no, there was never a system for at the.
[11:27] Beginning there was. At the first season when he
[11:29] decided to just play defensive and I think he should have
[11:32] stayed to that system to be honest.
[11:34] But he fell into the public pressure of oh, I need to play
[11:37] Liquid football, I need to go back to my IAX ways.
[11:40] He tried to play IX football in Manchester United.
[11:42] We're two different clubs. It's not the same ideology.
[11:44] We the players that he bought 100 mil on Antony that he was
[11:48] not able to translate to the Premier League.
[11:50] He's not able to play the same way he played IX in the Premier
[11:53] League. He's just I Tenagh was a
[11:55] failure, bro. Like he Amrim is a different
[11:58] manager than 10 hog. They're two different people.
[12:00] You can't say you. I can't say they're two
[12:02] different people, no. Because at this point in 10
[12:04] hugs, at this point in 10 hugs tenure, it was the exact same
[12:07] incent like feeling around him. It was.
[12:10] Let's give him a transfer market.
[12:11] It was actually probably better. I think there was more
[12:13] positivity around 10 hog. Yeah, yeah, probably.
[12:15] Yeah. Because they're they weren't in
[12:17] this dire situation. But the issue with 10 Hog his
[12:21] first season was that he played a certain brand of football that
[12:24] was not going to be played the rest of his.
[12:28] If we if 1010 Hog's first two games he tried to play his
[12:31] football. We lost 4 nothing and got pumped
[12:34] the next game by Brighton, then he's like, OK, screw this, I
[12:36] can't play my football, so I'm just going to play Terre Rismo
[12:38] ball for the rest of the season. So that's what he did.
[12:41] And then next season he said, I'm going to try playing my
[12:43] football the whole season. What happened?
[12:45] Tanag turned into Tanag won the FA Cup, but still, brother, we
[12:49] were terrible Amrim. I can see the style of play that
[12:52] he wants and we went, we beat Man City away, we tied Liverpool
[12:57] away. We've we've practically Arsenal
[13:00] from open play. It was a pretty 5050 game.
[13:04] What? I go what you're saying it was.
[13:07] In a 5050 game against Arsenal, open play.
[13:09] By the fact that you, like I, I, I give Amarin time, but you
[13:13] can't also go and say like open play, like you can't move the
[13:17] goalpost well. The set pieces are not him.
[13:19] It's not. He's not the set piece Coach.
[13:20] Yeah, but at. The same time we're in. 2024,
[13:22] it's not 1965 where Lenio Arreta's setting up the set
[13:26] pieces. Yeah, but.
[13:26] I know, but you, you can't he. Didn't score a goal like that,
[13:29] like the team didn't score a goal to counteract the goal
[13:31] scorer off the corner. So yeah, but the.
[13:32] Open play Arsenal didn't create anything against Man United
[13:36] either. We did OK, we're just spreading
[13:38] misinformation. But I get what you're saying.
[13:39] You're trying to find like there's positives in what Amarim
[13:41] has been implementing for Manchester United, just he has
[13:44] to do it on a more consistent basis.
[13:46] But that takes time bro. And any manager, if you don't
[13:49] have good players at your disposal.
[13:51] You're good. Well, you.
[13:51] Have good players. We have 3 good players we have.
[13:56] We don't have a Sala, we don't have a Holland, we don't have
[14:01] Osaka. But you don't get that.
[14:03] You don't get that on the market.
[14:04] That's a lie because literally Salah was bought for 30 mil from
[14:07] Roma so don't tell me you can't get that on the market but you.
[14:09] Can't you have to develop that into a Salah?
[14:11] Bro Salah joined then he and he got fifty goals and assists his
[14:14] first season. So then you're hoping on finding
[14:17] another Salah? So that you.
[14:18] Know you know. You.
[14:20] Develop it in an Amat Diallo or some player like that.
[14:22] That can turn into a very good player or But like it or not,
[14:27] the best teams in the world have the best players.
[14:29] It's. Just very hypothetical at this
[14:30] point. It's.
[14:31] Not hypothetical, no. But what?
[14:32] You're saying about like the defending of Amarim.
[14:34] It's very hypothetical. The only positive is what I
[14:36] agree with you is the is the system the system that looks
[14:39] good and you looks like you actually you're playing a style
[14:41] of football, yes, which under even under Ole it there was in
[14:45] my opinion, there was just a winning style of it was it was
[14:48] just an attempt at winning the next game.
[14:49] It was an attempt at changing the ideology at Manchester
[14:52] United. No, I think Ole got the closest
[14:54] to to you knew what you were getting out.
[14:56] I know. But the ceiling was the there
[14:58] was a cap. Ceiling There was a cap.
[14:59] Tanag was just Tanag was just shit by the end.
[15:02] It was actually just horrible football.
[15:04] Was only playing a three back I. Don't remember because.
[15:06] I I think the three back completely changed everything.
[15:08] Yeah, like what Amaram is doing right now.
[15:10] It favors McGuire. It makes the lit look somewhat
[15:13] good. No, the lit yes bro, the lit
[15:16] today was horrendous. Because of the that is more.
[15:18] Performance in a Man United shirt.
[15:20] But was understand this. I said this in the live stream
[15:22] also, I think we don't have a right center.
[15:24] The fact that we would that the Amrim actually thinks is an
[15:27] outside center, but. It made McGuire look.
[15:30] Lenny, Yeah, but Lenny Euro still getting developed into
[15:32] that. He's not.
[15:33] He's not a finished product. Yeah, crazy, but you like it
[15:36] perfectly. Bro 60 mil like you guys bought
[15:39] Saliba how many years back you sent him on loan for two years
[15:42] before before actually seeing him play for Arsenal it.
[15:44] Was 60 mil. It was 30 mil loan for two years
[15:48] though. Yeah, that's just you.
[15:50] Spent 60 mil I would assume to get a decently finished product
[15:53] at 60 million. That's just buying buying higher
[15:56] on a. You're buying, you're buying.
[15:58] Up. You're buying a player with
[16:00] obvious skills that can translate.
[16:02] Look at his mass. His extremely.
[16:04] You saw his tackle today. Yeah, it's nice.
[16:06] What you. Referring to when you.
[16:08] Went against Darwin Noon the one.
[16:09] Where the guy still got the shot off?
[16:10] No, not. Him.
[16:11] It wasn't him that got the shot off.
[16:12] He defended Darwin Nunez and then yeah, that.
[16:15] Was an insane tackle grabbed? The grabbed the ball off of the
[16:18] defender that picked it up and then got the shot off.
[16:20] OK, I thought it was a shot taker that he was tackling.
[16:23] But but going back to this game, I think you can you can use this
[16:27] as a platform for the rest of your season.
[16:29] You can use this as a as a look, we went to Liverpool away and
[16:33] had this performance. Why can't we do this every week
[16:36] now? So now it's about building on
[16:37] this next week against Arsenal. I don't want to see us revert
[16:40] back to our old game. And if we want to speak about
[16:43] Liverpool also, I was going to say about.
[16:45] Liverpool because not only was it, you know, positive with
[16:47] Amarim, I think there was it was like Liverpool showing some
[16:51] cracks cuz I don't think they necessarily played, but I don't
[16:55] think there was a lack of player like just like quality and like
[16:57] just a bad day in the office. I think like McAllister played
[17:00] well, Gravin Birch played well, Salah played all right.
[17:04] Gakbul played well. Trend disaster class.
[17:06] That's a different story. But if all the players played
[17:08] decently and they still got a A22 draw to to Manchester
[17:12] United, which is a not even in form team slot slot missed the
[17:16] mark slot missed the mark on his tactics.
[17:18] He's at home like this possible that should that should 100%
[17:21] have been a win it. Just didn't seem that Liverpool
[17:23] dominated in any phase of the game.
[17:25] Like I think there were moments where they kind of went on like
[17:29] maybe like an 8 to 10 minute stretch of just like more
[17:31] possession. Like they were winning the
[17:33] possession game and they were trying to move the ball around.
[17:36] But it at the same time it's I think both teams really
[17:38] struggled in finding like they didn't really have that much
[17:41] teeth in the attack like Hoyland from Manchester United just was
[17:45] not. Toothless.
[17:46] Was very toothless. I didn't see any threat from him
[17:49] except maybe that one chance where he should have put it
[17:52] away. A real striker, well, not a real
[17:54] striker, a clinical striker finishes that like an Aussie man
[17:58] finishes that even though it's not on his left foot, but it's
[18:00] on his left foot. But but chances point is, is
[18:04] that even even just like your aggressiveness, like Hoyland's
[18:08] not aggressive enough. Yeah, he.
[18:09] Doesn't have that directness to his he.
[18:10] Doesn't he doesn't have that that like when I watch Holland,
[18:14] it's it's kind of scary how this guy plays like it's it's if he
[18:18] runs the 1st post, it looks like he's running like he's going to
[18:21] run directly in That's the. Instincts I was talking to, I
[18:24] was talking to you about like in three podcasts ago.
[18:26] I'm saying Hoyland does not have those instincts.
[18:29] He's he's, he's always lagging. Xerxi doesn't either.
[18:31] Xerxi has different instinct, but he's not.
[18:33] That's the guy who's not. Meant to be that type.
[18:35] Of yeah, no, Xerxy, no, I don't. Know what?
[18:37] Why you even signed No. But if you have if you have a
[18:39] Xerxy with an Aussie man, like it's 2 completely different if
[18:43] you're if Ruben Amerin one game certified.
[18:45] I don't want a striker that that is behind the last line.
[18:49] Or let's say you play a team like Everton that's just sitting
[18:52] back. You would maybe want a Xerxy
[18:54] that drops into the pockets like Xerxy started our four nil win
[18:56] against Everton. Like in some games, you could
[19:00] use a profile like Xerxy. You could even use a profile
[19:02] like Xerxy with an Aussie man. It's just when you're, when
[19:06] you're, I don't know, Hoyland's playing like he doesn't have a
[19:09] profile right now, but it's just, it's just a guy up there.
[19:12] I think, I think that's also something that Liverpool
[19:14] struggled with as well because like you had Luis Diaz playing
[19:20] striker basically didn't really do much.
[19:23] Yota was on, Nunez was on, but still Nunez.
[19:25] Should have started Striker. I think that was a mistake.
[19:27] I think this was a game that Nunez could have done very well
[19:30] in, but a lot. Of frustration for Van Dyke.
[19:32] It was visible and even reports and not to spread rumors, but
[19:35] even reports that the locker room there was some there was
[19:37] like some some beef going on between like the Trent Nunez and
[19:41] and Van Dyke apparently to be separated.
[19:43] But this is all like this is Twitter hearsay.
[19:45] But I, I mean, it must have been frustrating.
[19:47] Van Dyke was clearly frustrated during the game at some point,
[19:50] specifically because of Trent. Yeah, and honestly, we're
[19:53] looking at Trent, who? Listen, the January transfer
[19:58] window is a very serious time and we all know brothers Real
[20:02] Madrid. Madrid have submitted their
[20:04] first offer for Trent. Is this the right move for a
[20:08] Real Madrid? Because after this Game Boys,
[20:11] we're looking at Trent and we're saying was a little shaky this
[20:15] game. I don't know if one game really
[20:18] like change, like it's Trent, it's Trent.
[20:20] Even with the one, the whatever, the one game I know of, if
[20:23] Madrid's watching and they're going.
[20:24] They're probably looking to buy Deal Godalo if they're watching
[20:27] that game. Instead.
[20:28] OK, let's let's not kid. Ourselves.
[20:30] Trent is exactly what Real Madrid needs.
[20:32] I feel like Carvajal is aging quite much and I think Trent
[20:36] replaces that. I'm not saying that that they
[20:39] shouldn't do it because if you have the, if you have a chance
[20:41] to, it's like Mbappe, if you have a chance to do it, you just
[20:43] do it. Exactly.
[20:44] But look at the Mbappe transfer again last year we were just, we
[20:47] were always saying if you bring in, you just need to bring in
[20:50] Mbappe, you need to bring in Mbappe.
[20:52] But if you really look at it, Trent, is he really that good of
[20:54] a fit? Yeah, of course 1. 100% I don't
[20:57] know Mbappe, you were bringing in, you were bringing in.
[21:00] We were all defending the Mbappe transfer because of it's Mbappe.
[21:04] But Trent is a fullback. What's the?
[21:06] Difference between it's Mbappe versus it's Trent.
[21:09] You have to, but you don't. Have you don't have vinicious as
[21:11] right back right now. You don't have a vinicious level
[21:13] right back right now. You have an injured and aging
[21:15] Danny Carvajal. Trent pinging balls to whatever
[21:18] winger is up there is much better than.
[21:20] That carpet how just won the EUR as a man of the match and then
[21:24] he just won the seal final man of the match but.
[21:27] He's he's, he's not aging and he's.
[21:29] Aging yes, but you can and I'm not I'm still saying you should
[21:33] go get Trent if you can go get Trent and then you just figure
[21:36] it out. But if you can examine the
[21:38] market and find the young right back that you see, Oh yes,
[21:40] potential, I would. That's more of a dynamic that
[21:43] fits with the squad potentially I.
[21:45] I don't necessarily we agree, because you have players that
[21:48] are either entering their primes or in their primes right now.
[21:51] So you have to get players that are in on the same level as that
[21:55] right now. And Trent is at that level.
[21:57] And there's really no one else in that right back position for
[21:59] Real Madrid that they could say, you know what, that'd be a good
[22:02] alternative to Trent. But Trent is Trent at the end of
[22:05] the day. Same thing as in Bapes.
[22:06] And bapes, you're getting the best in that position, OK?
[22:09] But then once again, you look back at performances like today
[22:13] or we've seen him multiple times with Trent in CL games and
[22:16] Premier League games, he's not the best defending right back.
[22:19] He's just not. He has his qualities and his
[22:21] qualities. He's insanely good at those
[22:23] qualities. No other right back in the world
[22:24] has the qualities like him of passing and distribution and
[22:28] just his creativity just in general.
[22:30] But defending is not a strong suit.
[22:31] And when you're coming up in in La Liga against players like
[22:34] Raphenia and like, I mean, Athletico Madrid is not the
[22:39] strongest Yamal. Like you're not you're not.
[22:42] Yeah it, but. Like I find the all.
[22:44] Nights when you come up against teams that are going to have
[22:46] those elite wingers. He's won a Champions League,
[22:49] yes. He's been in the he's.
[22:50] Won a Champions League yes, but that one-on-one defending is
[22:54] such a big glaring issue and it it was shown again today that he
[22:59] couldn't keep a high line. He was always the one that was
[23:01] keeping the team on side. But you figure.
[23:05] It out, it's Trent because it's offensive.
[23:07] The the offensive importance of Trent should like that's one of
[23:11] one. It's not like you're getting if
[23:14] you find a defender, if you find the full back that's good,
[23:16] better at defending, he will not be as good going forward.
[23:18] But we said that about Mbappe, you're just going to figure it
[23:20] out. And Real Madrid right now are
[23:22] having a very hard time just figuring it out.
[23:24] It's a good point because if you don't need that profile then
[23:27] like then why then like then maybe build through.
[23:30] One, that's why they're Real Madrid and we're just.
[23:32] They just do it bro 13th. In the Prem so it's.
[23:34] An opportunity you have to take it.
[23:35] Yeah, he's he's one of those players that just fits the Real
[23:38] Madrid mold of having The X Factor to change a game.
[23:41] Like he's he's one of those guys that he could just, OK, let me
[23:44] just do a crazy assist and finish your score, you know what
[23:47] I mean? But.
[23:47] Then you on the other side of the coin, you have Liverpool Who
[23:51] listen six months left in his contract.
[23:53] Do you let him go in January cause rumors are saying that
[23:56] they outright rejected first? In Seattle, 1st in Premier
[24:00] League. You're not.
[24:00] You're not accepting that transfer.
[24:02] Even for 50 million, 60 million. Is 50 million worth?
[24:05] If you accept that bid, you're basically calling it quits on
[24:08] the CL. And you might call yourself a
[24:09] little boy, Yes. Yeah.
[24:11] I'm quite surprised though you. Call yourself a Leipzig.
[24:14] Isn't isn't it a bit surprising that like Liverpool is in such
[24:17] good form and Trent is considering it bro?
[24:20] If usually 11 English players don't like to leave the Prem
[24:24] usually. And then second of all, is he
[24:26] not? From Liverpool, yes.
[24:27] He's a Liverpool like his, his idols Steven Gerrard like it.
[24:31] It's like if if Liverpool were to ever have a one club man,
[24:36] it's him. Yeah.
[24:38] So it really doesn't make sense. It really doesn't make sense how
[24:40] he wants the like I get around Madrid or are.
[24:44] We treating the narrative, he wants it.
[24:45] Has he said it? Yeah, he, they, they've tried
[24:48] multiple times to set him down to speak for contract extensions
[24:51] and suppose it's never gone well.
[24:52] Well, it it depends because. They have their wage structure
[24:56] also that they need to abide by. Like at the end of the day, it's
[24:58] it's FSG that is dictating how this is going.
[25:02] If they see that they're losing this battle with Trent, like,
[25:06] who's to say that they're not putting stuff out there to pin
[25:09] Trent as the bad guy, That these politics happen all the time in
[25:11] football. So I wouldn't be surprised if
[25:14] news comes out saying, oh, Trent has rejected outright any
[25:18] Liverpool advancements for a new contract because the at the end
[25:21] of the day that you don't know where that source is coming
[25:22] from. So it it's a very tricky, tricky
[25:26] situation to be in if you're Liverpool.
[25:29] And if you're Trent, listen, you, you rest on your laurels.
[25:32] You know that you're an elite player and you let your agency
[25:35] handle it and to hope to get the the best dollar amount, the
[25:38] worst case, you end up at Real Madrid.
[25:40] So like, yeah, either way, take a win, win best.
[25:42] Case you're at a team that's competing for the Premier
[25:44] League, worst case. Yeah.
[25:46] So he's in the perfect spot, Yeah.
[25:47] Yeah, I think, look. You think he's looking at those?
[25:50] This is our last point on it. You think he's looking at the
[25:52] Salah and Van Dyke contract situation?
[25:54] Oh, for sure, sure, for sure. If they don't resign, yeah,
[25:56] yeah, the the prime year is low key done like Liverpool's not
[25:59] what if they're. All looking at each other.
[26:00] Yeah, what if all collusion? Looking at each other give me
[26:03] the inspiring. With the give me. 10 mil when
[26:04] I'm leaving, yeah. I don't know.
[26:06] I think, I think it's gonna, I think 1 domino might break open
[26:09] the well like. Van Dyke didn't that happen last
[26:11] time where you signed one and you signed the rest like you
[26:14] signed like 3 new contract extensions?
[26:15] Tao layout wasn't that I. Think it was just planned, I'm
[26:18] not sure if it had any links but.
[26:21] But you saw, but you saw Sala interview which it was real,
[26:24] right? Because I I've been caught a
[26:26] couple times with fake quotes. But they he did say like, oh,
[26:28] this is like if contracts don't continue with the discussions
[26:33] don't continue like this is my last year, but.
[26:34] But I think the quote was misquoted.
[26:37] It's the one that went viral. Yeah, the.
[26:38] One like this is my last year at Liverpool.
[26:39] I hope to win is what I can or whatever.
[26:41] I'm not sure he quite said that. I don't really know but but look
[26:44] Liverpool. And look, if you lose all three
[26:47] conversations will be had. But for now, I think you're
[26:50] chilling. We can move.
[26:51] On to the other not Real Madrid, but Barcelona that no, sorry,
[26:57] Barcelona failed to register. Danny Omo Do questions need to
[27:01] be asked about Barcelona's management because that's a
[27:04] really big failure. I would sack everyone involved
[27:07] to be honest. That's isn't that.
[27:09] That's yeah. Barcelona not elect them,
[27:11] whatever it's called, listen. The management has been making
[27:14] so many mistakes in the past years and if it wasn't for La
[27:17] Macia coming in clutch every year, there's a lot of questions
[27:20] like just the Coutinho transfer, the Dembele transfer, everything
[27:24] they've done when there's a lot of money involved has not worked
[27:28] if. I'm not mistaken, I I think it
[27:29] was transfer market that it posted.
[27:31] They posted all the players that Barcelona failed to register
[27:34] over the years. I think it was Jean Felix 2324
[27:37] technically. Those they all figured out after
[27:39] they sold the what, 17 chairs in the?
[27:43] 1st row. Why are they the only club in
[27:45] the world that has this problem? Because look, I'm gonna Varsa
[27:47] fans, this is not gonna happen often, so I'm gonna defend you
[27:50] guys here, OK? Supposedly La Liga has been a
[27:54] bit unjust with them, but that's what that's their argument, OK.
[27:58] Their argument is that they've been playing by rules, like they
[28:01] call it the one to four rule, the one to three rules.
[28:03] So at the beginning, when Barcelona's financial struggles
[28:06] were at their peak, they were playing by the one to four rules
[28:10] imposed by them by La Liga. So for every for every $4.00
[28:14] that they generated in revenue, they were able to use one on
[28:17] salary. Which is, which is an attempt
[28:19] for those who like who don't know it, they this is an attempt
[28:22] for them to keep more money, to get their financials in in
[28:25] check. And then you move up to the one
[28:27] to three, one to 211. But so basically to register,
[28:31] let's say Danny Omo was making 100 KA week which he's not, but
[28:34] whatever you you would need to make 400,000 to compensate for
[28:37] that 100,000. So you need to prove you have
[28:39] $400,000 of revenue for 100,000 of spending of of salary.
[28:44] Then financial situation got a bit better, a bit better and
[28:47] they moved to a one to three now.
[28:49] And I think they might be moving to a one to one soon.
[28:52] That's what I was reading on Twitter.
[28:53] But Daniomo did not was not before that.
[28:56] So they're still abiding by the old rules.
[28:59] And because Christensen came back from injury, they were only
[29:02] able to register Daniomo in the first half of the season because
[29:05] Christensen enter Stegan injuries.
[29:07] So they were only able to register Palvito and Daniomo
[29:10] because of those injuries. And now that Christensen and
[29:12] Tershtegan are back, there's a clause in Daniomo's contract
[29:16] that if you are not able to register him, he can go for
[29:18] free. And for me, that's complete
[29:20] mismanagement on Barcelona's part, I think.
[29:24] 'Cause this is a 30 to €40 million asset.
[29:26] Why 30 to 40? They bought him for 60 and we
[29:29] were saying that was a steal. It's more of like a 7080
[29:31] million. What's?
[29:32] The reasoning behind like it just sounds like a gamble, like
[29:35] they were gambling it. Just seems like they didn't do
[29:37] any risk assessment of like what would happen if we get to
[29:41] January and we can't register. Like what do we do?
[29:43] Clearly it there's no contingency plan.
[29:45] You have to understand clubs like Barsa that are
[29:46] democratically ran, the guy is just playing politics.
[29:49] He's he's doing public, he's covering up his public image
[29:52] every two seconds. La Puerta.
[29:54] So this summer when fans say, oh, we need signings, we need
[29:57] signings, we need signings. He can't, he can't go out and
[30:01] say we don't have money. We we're not gonna buy anyone
[30:04] this summer. We don't have the money because
[30:06] he wouldn't. Get elected again.
[30:07] The he wouldn't get elected again, so he's kind of covering
[30:09] his own bases by signing a player like Omo.
[30:11] He's kind of like I can probably fit him.
[30:13] Like I'll just give me 5 months to figure it out.
[30:16] I could probably fit him. It's all.
[30:17] Accounting at any day because as the accountants are probably
[30:20] working like day and night trying to find like like put
[30:23] everything onto revenue so just to say look we have let's say
[30:26] it's 50 million look we have 200 million in revenue we can sign
[30:30] this 4 to one or whatever yeah so and probably they end up
[30:33] looking at the accounting and saying well no, this has to
[30:35] actually get pushed the next year this and your VIP CS don't
[30:37] count and look. I was I was reading this on
[30:39] Twitter so it might not be true. And Barsa fans let us know if
[30:41] we're spreading misinformation once again.
[30:43] As per usual, they're still paying some of Jordi Alba's,
[30:45] Sujo Busquet's and Messy salaries.
[30:48] So yeah, so supposedly they owe Messy a shit ton of money that
[30:51] he's just been deferring them just because he feels bad for
[30:54] them, but they're still paying their salaries looking.
[30:57] At those figures, I think it was you who showed me, who showed me
[31:00] the contract figures. The brother was making just a
[31:03] blank check. Yeah.
[31:04] And he would just sign it and whatever he.
[31:06] Wow. So I mean, imagine a blank check
[31:08] every year that that stocks up after a while.
[31:12] Yeah. I don't know that complete
[31:13] mismanagement from Barcelona, but I mean, they have a lot to
[31:18] do. They got a lot to do.
[31:19] Very interesting situation to follow though, because it's kind
[31:22] of unprecedented in the sports history.
[31:24] So it's like the first story of this kind in the sports history.
[31:28] I want to see what happens because they're saying that
[31:31] they're going to do the courts of appeals and stuff like that.
[31:33] So it's going to go through an entire appeals process.
[31:36] Danny almost says he doesn't want to leave.
[31:38] I find it hard to believe come here.
[31:39] I think there's just a power play now.
[31:42] I think come the end of January, if you realize all this is not
[31:44] happening, I think he will look into other options.
[31:46] Like a loan option or just flat out not loan Marshall.
[31:49] Doesn't own him anymore. He's a free agent, yeah.
[31:51] It's in his contract, OK. Yeah.
[31:52] So you're not registered? He wouldn't be.
[31:53] Registered as a Barcelona player?
[31:55] No, he's. Not a Barcelona player anymore.
[31:57] Really, no. And right now there's a lot
[31:59] Legal, yes. You just technically own Danny
[32:01] Omo next tomorrow, technically. He could probably own me, man.
[32:05] Box the box. Get the pro.
[32:06] Box FC. Employee.
[32:08] Aslani FC, I'm employee Aslani can seriously sign players now,
[32:11] put. Him next to producer Teeth.
[32:13] But yeah, we're gonna, we're gonna be keeping up with that
[32:15] situation because it's, it's pretty cool to see like
[32:17] something, a club or a business, a corporation offering that big
[32:21] one. Of the biggest making.
[32:22] Such a stupid error. That's that.
[32:24] You know that's like that. And if he does leave, do you
[32:27] guys think he'd actually like consider the Prem or the?
[32:29] Only team I could see him join us, probably Man City.
[32:32] Yeah, like I still don't rate him too much sense.
[32:34] I'd love to have him on Milan. PSG maybe try bro but Luis
[32:38] Enrique bro Luis Enrique. Who?
[32:41] You've seen Adrian. Try him again?
[32:42] No. Almost a bother.
[32:44] But now listen, we're not going to leave La Liga just yet
[32:47] because on the other side, on the other side of the the big
[32:50] rivalry, a classical, there's a Real Madrid who 21 win versus
[32:56] Valencia, which had a lot of controversy, gentlemen, so quite
[33:02] scrappy. Win a little a.
[33:03] Little bit of a scrappy win. Belly goal we can cover.
[33:06] This quickly because I think this is a non story.
[33:08] In my opinion this is like not I think.
[33:10] This is a story. I think this is a bigger story
[33:12] than it is. We're debating putting this in
[33:13] the pot, but listen, Vinicius Junior, very controvert, like
[33:17] very drama filled red card. What were your first initial
[33:22] thoughts when you saw it? Vinicius.
[33:23] Junior cannot handle the heat. Get out of the kitchen brother.
[33:26] You want to win battle on doors, you want to be in that
[33:29] conversation. You need to keep a level head.
[33:32] Guys like Neymar. I'm sure Neymar has Neymar when
[33:34] he was playing for Barsa and he was tearing up teams my God,
[33:36] fans were barking at him. He was getting called names, he
[33:40] was getting taunted, he was getting slight tackled seem like
[33:42] mess. He seemed like all the other
[33:43] small guys. He had to keep his head on
[33:45] straight and Vinicius Junior can if he can't even handle a little
[33:48] push by a goalie where he has to like two hand shove the in the
[33:51] face. Brother the the the mainstage is
[33:53] not for the Balandor stage is not for you.
[33:55] Doesn't look good. It doesn't look good, especially
[33:57] when Real Madrid is kind of struggling against Valencia and
[34:00] you need someone like Vinny to pull up and score that final
[34:03] goal and you're getting a red card, you know what I mean?
[34:05] Like, yeah, you're just losing the temper and you're losing
[34:08] your team in the end, you're. You're you're basically letting
[34:11] the people that you're fighting against win.
[34:12] Yeah, because you try to give them no importance saying that
[34:16] like that shouldn't be part of the game or whatever.
[34:18] But by reacting like that, you are giving, giving them the
[34:21] power and saying like they can control how you react.
[34:25] You act. So in turn you're going against
[34:28] what you're fighting. But I mean, at the end of the
[34:30] day, it's he, he is still a A on the younger side of 20.
[34:35] He's still a young player. I'm sure like still bro.
[34:37] Like I'm sure if we were in those positions, we'd act a
[34:39] different way. Of course, the pressure, there's
[34:41] a lot of pressure. But he's one of the best in the
[34:43] world, and when you're one of the best in the world, you gotta
[34:45] act like it if you need. Training, you need training.
[34:47] If you need professional help, I don't know, get professional
[34:49] help. Yeah, 'cause that's what's
[34:50] missing in my opinion from is this is, is the psychology
[34:53] aspect of it, 'cause listen, like racism, there's no place
[34:57] for that. But no matter what, you can
[34:58] always in sports, you will always get taunted if you're a
[35:00] good. Yeah, that's the proof that
[35:02] you're so good. You're always going to get
[35:03] called names. You're saying like, oh, Venetias
[35:05] didn't come to play today. Like there's always going to be
[35:07] people calling, you know, that stuff.
[35:09] Like it's gone. Like there's an obvious vendetta
[35:13] out against him in this. Not I'm not saying in that like.
[35:16] No, I know what you're saying. Yeah, and the players
[35:18] themselves, they go into Real Madrid games and are like, bro,
[35:21] we can piss off, but you. Remember my article?
[35:23] Yeah, my article was great. They know what they're doing.
[35:25] The brother's still talking in the press.
[35:27] I saw a quote this week, he said If I boxed Vinicius it would be
[35:30] end in one in one round. Just.
[35:33] A random. Weekend, if you look, if you
[35:35] look at the comments, everyone saying what about football, like
[35:38] why not just play football? What do you have to box him for?
[35:40] Which is facts because like they they try to piss him off.
[35:43] But The thing is that it works. That's why they keep doing it.
[35:45] Yeah, you keep doing it, but but Bellingham, Bellingham is not
[35:48] affected by these things. Scored, missed the penalty and
[35:52] gave an assist and won the game. That that's a player that leads
[35:55] A-Team. Bellingham fortunately has these
[35:57] moments where he loses it. Bellingham is the Bellingham is
[36:00] the leader on that. In my opinion is is not.
[36:03] Maybe not yet, because he's still young, but if if like new
[36:06] players come into the team, Bellingham should be the role
[36:08] model to look at. And right now Vinicius is not
[36:10] serving as that, as that role model for Real Madrid.
[36:12] Yeah. So very unfortunate game for
[36:15] Vinny. I'm sure he'll bounce back later
[36:17] on this season. We still have champions.
[36:19] If I'm in Bape I'm thanking Vinny for taking away all the
[36:22] heat and exposure because brother and Boppe I don't
[36:26] understand how many. Games does he have now without
[36:27] Vinny 3 is. It that you get, it could be
[36:29] more than. 4 though it's three. I don't know.
[36:32] Red is three games. I know, but it could be because
[36:34] it's like a. It's a like a.
[36:36] Bro, the guy, the goalie faked it.
[36:38] Bro, he did a little. Bit he did, he did.
[36:39] Soldiers the tent 2 Yes. He deserved the red.
[36:43] I'm saying he sold it though. Like, yeah, it's.
[36:45] Not a Charles Pedro. Yeah, elbowed to the fat.
[36:48] That was crazy. Almost elbowed to the face.
[36:50] Yeah. But so listen, we'll we'll see
[36:52] what happens with Vinny later on.
[36:54] But the last? Topic before power rankings.
[36:56] The the second most important consesau yeah firms would you
[36:59] like to introduce and excuse. Me take me 4 firms.
[37:01] The second this. All.
[37:03] Sergio Consesau of course. The second second I got sacked
[37:06] and Sergio Consesau came in and we actually won our first game
[37:09] against Juventus, which was a a very proud moment for me because
[37:13] we needed that. We needed the manager bounce and
[37:15] I've been talking to a lot of Portuguese fans, including
[37:17] Rabona TV, who I had to write to him, Benfica fan now that we
[37:22] know and he basically explained that Constessal is like regarded
[37:27] as one of the best managers in Portugal.
[37:29] So I'm quite happy. I'm I'm looking forward to it.
[37:32] Unlike Fonseca, which might have not been regarded as one of the
[37:35] best in Portugal, but was. But when when they appointed
[37:39] him, he was. The thing is that Constessal
[37:41] doesn't have the international experience that Fonseca had.
[37:44] Like Fonseca played, he managed Roma, he managed in not.
[37:48] Successfully. Not successfully.
[37:50] He didn't win as much as Contessao, but that's the big
[37:53] question mark now. But.
[37:54] Contessao played in Italy, so he understands the dynamic in
[37:57] Italian football. He played in Italy, yeah.
[37:59] Lots of. Inter and he played.
[38:00] He did play for Inter, yeah. Teristi, by the way, that's.
[38:04] Interisti, big question mark as well.
[38:05] Interista as your president. Interista as your coach.
[38:08] This is Marotta's work. I'm the boss, I'm the boss,
[38:12] everyone under. Ibrasa Milan fan Yeah, yeah.
[38:15] But I didn't, you didn't say that when he was holding that
[38:16] inter jersey. Marata also held up Juventus
[38:19] one. I hope you saw that too.
[38:20] I didn't. Know what you talking?
[38:21] About but Juventus, he brought in a good fight to Milan that we
[38:25] need because right now, like tactically, I don't think I
[38:29] don't think he's gonna solve much.
[38:31] I think we still have some flaws in defense but at least he
[38:35] brings that Conte fight like he reminds me of like a Simeone.
[38:38] I I locally agree, I think that's what you need more than
[38:40] tactics. You don't need someone to
[38:41] overthink it. You just need someone to
[38:43] motivate those guys because you have the talent right now.
[38:44] But you're never going to compete with an Inter who have
[38:46] that motivation. That's true.
[38:48] Plus that tactic. Peoli.
[38:51] This is the new Peoli. Yes, they reverted back to
[38:53] Peoli, they said. You know what?
[38:55] We we liked it better last year. I don't know basically what you
[38:59] said. I think purely he was a
[39:01] downgrade from quince Sao like. How can you know that?
[39:04] Because quince Sao. Serial winning manager, Yeah.
[39:06] Once. Yeah, once Quince.
[39:08] Sao how many times? Yeah, but that doesn't but.
[39:10] He's never managed to. Sao won one Portuguese league.
[39:12] No, he hasn't checked. He was done.
[39:15] Abrams won the last three years. So like, I like before that.
[39:18] Bro Quince Sao got in a quarterfinal like almost every
[39:20] year with Porto. It was a quarterfinals Champions
[39:23] League. Sorry, that's Milan.
[39:25] That's Milan with Porto now with Port.
[39:28] I have people DME me saying Porto fan saying, look, he might
[39:32] actually be a better manager than Jose Mourinho was for us.
[39:35] And I'm like, listen, that's a little bit of a hot take, but
[39:38] jersey. Maria won the Champions League
[39:40] with Porto, yeah. But Porto won them contestant
[39:43] won them leagues back-to-back to back.
[39:45] Take Once again, that's just a stupid take.
[39:47] I don't know bro, even Rabona TV was kind of hyping him up.
[39:50] Oh, he needs a He's got a bum. He.
[39:52] Won three Portuguese Portuguese champion three times Which years
[39:55] 1718 Nineteen 20/21/21 Showed up four times Portuguese Cup
[39:59] winner. Like he, he has a proven track
[40:02] record in Portuguese. He won the Belgian Cup with
[40:04] Standard Liege. Good to know.
[40:06] Good. To know why not all that.
[40:07] But look, I think it's an upgrade.
[40:11] I'm going to I'll tell you it's an up.
[40:12] I agree, sure, but I think this is a it's a low risk play.
[40:17] I think I think it's it's and supposedly Ebra didn't even Ebra
[40:21] and the higher management didn't even want to sack Fonseca.
[40:24] It's cardinality. That's act them that's.
[40:25] Crazy to me. I don't know.
[40:27] I can't believe. I don't know where you heard
[40:29] this. I can't.
[40:29] Believe I. Read it.
[40:30] I read it too but Tuto Sport is not a good reliable source.
[40:34] Tuto Sport and I mean Consesaw, I think he still has some time,
[40:39] like six months. I think top 4 is still in the
[40:42] picture. I mean, you could.
[40:45] Few Monday by the way. No problem.
[40:47] Manager bounce. I'm I'm not not saying that I'm
[40:50] scared, but. Maybe they'll score a real goal
[40:52] against you. Listen.
[40:53] Maybe their first real goal. A real goal.
[40:54] Under Consesaw 2 individual mistakes by Yuva.
[40:57] We lost that. That was a big game.
[40:59] I think. I think Mota lost that game.
[41:01] Mota did lose that game. I don't.
[41:02] Know why they didn't start consesaw?
[41:04] I got injured. I think he got injured.
[41:06] He was crying. Oh, that's.
[41:07] Why he was crying, He wanted. To play, he wanted to play
[41:08] against that would. Have been limp.
[41:10] Imagine him scoring, going, going as he is bad but but.
[41:14] I think, I think Milan definitely made the right move.
[41:17] That should have been the the manager from the from the get
[41:19] go, yeah. He was, he was one of the first
[41:21] names that we were linked with, but for some reason they went
[41:24] with Fonseca, which I don't really know.
[41:26] Like, I don't know why, yeah. I mean, listen, he's there now,
[41:30] so we'll see. We'll see what he does in the
[41:31] last last half of the the season, but now we are into our
[41:36] power rankings boys and. This is how we're gonna set up
[41:38] the videos from now on. So you guys are true?
[41:40] Enjoying it we're. Gonna I was just thinking we
[41:42] forgot to save the beginning shit.
[41:43] So, so like the first half, I don't know how long we are in
[41:46] now, but like half an hour, I would say is going to be more
[41:49] talking about like the news because we like our, our videos
[41:52] where we do the power rankings, let's say, or like our, our
[41:55] brackets, but we also like the ones where we talk about the
[41:58] news and, and. Keep it up to date.
[42:00] Keep. It up to date so we thought what
[42:02] better way than to mix mash them both together and we're going to
[42:05] start at the beginning with the news and like the Danny Omo
[42:09] situation we can't we can't do a power rankings today and not
[42:12] address the Danny Omo situation. You know, so so the next the
[42:16] rest of the podcast gonna be dedicated to the power rankings.
[42:19] So we're just gonna start dividing them into two a bit
[42:23] more fun segments toward the end and then more news breaking
[42:26] segments at the beginning, so. And weeks where it's not gonna
[42:28] be a power ranking or a bracket, it's gonna be news.
[42:31] And then let's say Champions League preview, if there's
[42:33] Champions League that week, or just match reviews.
[42:35] Match reviews as weekly recaps. Yep.
[42:37] So now the big, the big moment. That's power.
[42:40] Ranking power. Rankings.
[42:41] Get your papers out. Get your phones out.
[42:43] I'll start this off OK. That's here at WE.
[42:45] Want to start it off with a bang, of course, always.
[42:48] OK, so I'm going to, I'm going to say my actual #10 we'll speak
[42:53] about it and then I'll speak about who I'm debating also for
[42:55] number 10, the second team, my first, number 10, Barcelona.
[43:00] Like really that's. Great.
[43:03] Now we should talk about your guidelines or how you come to
[43:06] make these lists because Barcelona 10th, they still play
[43:10] good football. They just have angry lost a
[43:12] couple of games they're. 3rd in their league so you can't put
[43:14] them above but we're going to see them later in the thing
[43:17] Athletico Madrid or Real Madrid in my personal opinion you can't
[43:20] justify especially after Athletico Madrid beat them last
[43:22] game so you can't justify 2 Spanish teams.
[43:25] There's a bunch of teams in Premier League, there's a bunch
[43:26] of teams in in Syria. You're going to.
[43:28] There's a bunch of teams in Buenos Aya, but.
[43:29] Where'd you have them last week? Last.
[43:31] Six or seventh last power rankings so you.
[43:33] Think. In the last month they have not
[43:35] been good either. Yeah, firms.
[43:37] Results wise, results wise, but I think they still play one of
[43:41] the most entertaining in the last two months, so.
[43:44] When when they were competing for #1 in your mind they were a
[43:47] topple, illegal, OK by 6 points or seven points or eight points
[43:51] or whatever. And you still didn't put them
[43:53] first. Or second, second or third we.
[43:55] All kind of had them second OK. I had Liverpool first since like
[43:57] the second month of the year or whatever.
[44:00] Then now if the results are I the results were horrendous.
[44:04] The next month I put them down to 5th or 6th from second or
[44:07] third and now they've been horrendous.
[44:10] Another month I'm going to drop them down even more and don't
[44:12] bring up that they won their last game four nil they played.
[44:14] No, no, I'm not going to do that.
[44:16] Obviously the results they they've lost against like
[44:18] Laganis or whatever, but the the, the finishing has not been
[44:22] there. The play is still the same.
[44:24] Nothing. I just, I personally can't
[44:26] justify putting them above 9 teams that I have written.
[44:29] I personally can. We'll see.
[44:31] Which I I honestly, I'm on the same wave with that because I
[44:34] didn't listen. I didn't put them 10th.
[44:36] But I do think that Barsa have November.
[44:40] I said, OK, that's we'll let that happen.
[44:42] Whatever happens in December was like they should improve.
[44:46] They did not. So I think but other teams that
[44:49] have. Improved finishing.
[44:51] It's just Levandoski needs to score one of those times.
[44:53] Shouldn't. They make CL semis.
[44:55] No. They they have the ability to, I
[44:58] think they're. All tender.
[44:59] Expectations, but yeah. But also not really into
[45:02] account, almost not there like now.
[45:04] Now there's going to be a whole different, not, I'm not saying a
[45:07] whole locker room's different, but there is stuff happening
[45:09] behind the scenes that do affect locker rooms.
[45:12] But we're not looking in the future, we're looking at, right?
[45:14] Now in the last two months they've won like two games in
[45:16] the last two months, so that. They've they should have won
[45:18] almost every. Should have.
[45:20] Yeah, but that's why I'm giving you it's reasonable that they
[45:24] dropped, but to drop them 10th when they're still one of the
[45:27] best? Let me check where I had them,
[45:28] Football. Sides in the world is crazy to
[45:30] me. I had them last month.
[45:32] I had them. Let me tell you I had them 4th
[45:37] so. Last month, actually.
[45:39] I was very nice to them last month.
[45:41] I. Had them 4th as well last month.
[45:42] But gentlemen, you're 10s. So I dropped Atlanta.
[45:49] They're my new number, 10 dropped them.
[45:51] I had them 9th last power rankings but I dropped them to
[45:54] 10. Dropped them off my list is what
[45:56] I did. I was close to, I was close to
[45:58] but I didn't. I still think they are better
[46:00] than Napoli. I did and they had a couple of
[46:03] hiccups against Inter for some reason.
[46:05] They can never beat you guys. We have.
[46:07] They haven't won a given like 7, seven games in a row.
[46:09] They haven't lost. The Madrid I.
[46:11] Don't understand why it's. Because they're literally having
[46:13] a rizz off. They both play like almost the
[46:14] same exact style of football and just has better players.
[46:17] Yeah. And I was kind of surprised
[46:20] against Real Madrid. Like, I thought Atlanta played
[46:22] quite well if it wasn't for Vinnie becoming.
[46:25] Well, it was one of the best. Yeah.
[46:26] It's very back and forth. Yeah.
[46:28] And in the league, they won almost all their games.
[46:29] So I think they deserve to be at least 10.
[46:31] I I. Really like the only times
[46:33] they've actually got an opponent were the opponents.
[46:36] I'd say like other top ten teams.
[46:38] They lost to Real Madrid, they lost to Inter, they tied Lazio
[46:41] and then their other four games, one was a one was AI think it
[46:45] was caught by Italia or something to Chesena.
[46:47] Calyadi was league. It was a bunch of other it was a
[46:50] bunch of other games. Empoli against Inter to be like
[46:55] you haven't done anything special.
[46:56] You haven't done anything to stay on this list.
[46:58] But they just ripped off 16 wins in a row or whatever, yeah.
[47:01] I know that was last power ranking.
[47:02] Look, we're going to speak about.
[47:04] But against Inter, I thought they were getting your decision,
[47:06] no? Yes, you are.
[47:08] No, I'm not brother. Since the since the last power
[47:10] rankings, there's been nothing all.
[47:12] I'm going to say about last power ranking, yeah, but I'm
[47:14] putting this into a last power ranking at the line to seven.
[47:18] So yes, they're going to drop, but they still deserve to be on
[47:22] the list I. Don't know when you lose every
[47:24] when you when you lose every test that comes in in front of
[47:26] you to any other top ten power. Real Madrid, they should have
[47:29] won. Let's let's.
[47:31] But firms not to say that Barcelona should have won.
[47:33] OK, that. Barcelona shouldn't have won
[47:35] most of those. It really depends how you do
[47:37] your power rankings. Cause in my eyes it's it's not
[47:39] results completely. It it is a mixture of results.
[47:42] You gotta factor them in. But it's even the way you play.
[47:44] Like if you could dominate a Real Madrid but you end up
[47:47] losing, 'cause it's Real Madrid, you got to consider that like
[47:50] they should at least be 10th. Like Real Madrid and Inter are
[47:53] going to be higher up in our list.
[47:54] Exactly. So losing to them is not that
[47:56] big of a of a losing Telaganes is a big thing.
[48:00] Like it's not just, but it's quite this to the side it.
[48:03] Also depends how you lose to that by.
[48:04] Lots you lots you got pummeled by Inter and now just lost to.
[48:09] If we're if we're going to put like in terms of tiers enter and
[48:12] Real Madrid on our power rankings, I'm assuming are all
[48:14] going to be like near the top here.
[48:16] So losing to an athletic Madrid, who Barcelona, let's just say,
[48:21] should be in and around that tier, losing to them, you can't
[48:24] justify putting them above but Barcelona?
[48:26] Dominated Athletic Madrid. But they lost.
[48:29] But that's just looking at the result.
[48:30] You gotta look at even. But how they're playing, that's
[48:33] how Athletico play Like that's, that's literally how they played
[48:36] like that. That was if Levandos written the
[48:38] script for an Athletico win. That was the script.
[48:41] If Levandoski doesn't miss that chance, they that's a goal.
[48:44] You know what I mean? Like it's these little like you
[48:46] got a factor in how they play as well.
[48:48] You can't just look at results. Who do you guys have at 10?
[48:50] At 10 I kept Napoli novel. I hate that bro.
[48:54] I hate that I hate it too. These guys suck man.
[48:56] I. Hate.
[48:57] It but they're. Getting in the Yeah.
[48:58] Play any other Yeah, they're out of Copa Italia.
[49:00] They don't have champions, but they bought.
[49:01] Copa Italia for at least two power rankings, lost.
[49:03] Against Lazio. But I never had them they're.
[49:05] First in the league you. They're first, you have to, but
[49:08] they don't win. Dominantly, sure, but they're.
[49:10] First in the league. So if Athletico Madrid is not,
[49:13] is Athletico Madrid on your list?
[49:15] Yeah, basically some very similar situations, no?
[49:17] No, not at all. Yes, they don't dominate, they
[49:20] don't dominate games, but they win.
[49:21] They kind of do. I played Madrid is dominant.
[49:24] I don't think you've watched Napoli in the past month.
[49:26] Yeah, but now against Valentina they were not dominant.
[49:29] But you look at foot mob and it's 3 zero.
[49:31] Yeah, shit, okay, they won. Today because I was expecting
[49:34] them to drop off a bit more last month.
[49:37] They really didn't. I think they had maybe a draw.
[49:39] I don't have the. They they lost like had like a
[49:42] couple bad games. They they just lost against
[49:44] Lazio twice. Yeah, that was.
[49:45] Back-to-back like copy Italian, then they.
[49:47] Got knocked out of copy Italian then said yeah they lost.
[49:49] But then besides that, they haven't lost the game.
[49:51] Yeah, I don't even think they've drawn a game.
[49:53] I think they've won every game. I could be very wrong, not sure.
[49:56] But I do think that they it still warrants the like the fact
[49:58] that you're still first in Setiat means that you're top
[50:00] ten. If there was, if it was Atalanta
[50:02] first, Napoli second, Napoli's out of my top ten.
[50:05] That's just the way it is. Because the only thing that
[50:08] warrants a top 10 is that you're first in your league.
[50:10] And knowing that Atalanta's there, Inter's there.
[50:12] And Inter need to win both games in hand or Atlanta need to win
[50:15] both games and just a tie, Yeah. Something like that, but Inter
[50:18] just needs to win if I'm not mistaken.
[50:19] I don't know the. When the time comes, bro,
[50:21] Inter's smoking who? Do you have?
[50:24] I have a team that I don't I don't even know if you guys have
[50:26] these in your top ten. PSGPSG have been in a very good
[50:29] stretch of form. They just they just won the I
[50:32] think it's a French Super Cup versus Monaco.
[50:34] They also played Monaco two games ago, dominant win 5 two
[50:39] they beat Lyon. They've been beating teams in
[50:41] their top six in the French league.
[50:43] I, I see this is a good team and it seems like it's starting to
[50:46] roll for PSG and I think if they went head to head versus Anopoli
[50:49] versus an Atlanta, I think there's a, there's a serious
[50:52] competition. They're definitely versus
[50:53] Napoli, but Attalanta is a serious contest that.
[50:55] That PSU was a tough one because like we always take Champions
[50:59] League into account and they're just been abysmal in Champions
[51:02] League. Like they're not even in a
[51:03] playoff spot for me. So like it's it's very, very
[51:06] difficult to gauge whether or not PSG deserves to be in a top
[51:09] ten when obviously they're running, they're running away
[51:12] with their league, but clearly the the quality between them.
[51:15] Yeah, exactly. Other top talents it's it's very
[51:18] hard to get they. Dominantly beat Salzburg in the
[51:20] Champions League 30 Salzburg also.
[51:21] Like 31st, I'm, I'm pretty sure Salzburg, yeah.
[51:24] They lost, but. PSG are not even in the playoff
[51:26] spot right now. That's.
[51:27] What I'm saying? It's the Champions League that
[51:29] deters me from ever putting PSG onto these power inkings, but.
[51:32] The thing with I'm looking like last Power rankings, it's a new
[51:35] slate. Yeah, yeah, I'm not.
[51:37] Looking at it in a new in. A new way.
[51:38] It's not it's it's TSG in the Champions League have one win,
[51:43] they beat G row you. Can't look at 3:00.
[51:45] Months and Salzburg no, but it's not looking at three months ago
[51:47] it's I really like yes you could win all your games in the yard,
[51:51] but as soon as those CL lights come on it's they're losing
[51:53] basically against every team that they're around in in these
[51:56] power rankings like they lost to an Athletico Madrid, they lost
[51:59] to Bayern, they lost to Arthur These are.
[52:01] Teams higher in my in my power ranking.
[52:03] It's literally your logic. They they like it's not.
[52:06] It's just not. They it's just not.
[52:09] This is your Atlanta logic. They tied PSV.
[52:11] They have a PS. You shouldn't be in the same
[52:13] category as an Atlanta. Why?
[52:15] This is a power ranking. It has nothing to do with going.
[52:16] Into a game tomorrow, would you bet on Atlanta or PSG?
[52:19] But that's not how power rankings are supposed to.
[52:21] Going into a game tomorrow, I know.
[52:22] But there's matchups. Atlanta or PSG?
[52:24] It's based on the form. It's based on Atlanta Play
[52:28] Different. Teams than PSG suffer because
[52:29] they play in a better league and they played Real Madrid in CL
[52:32] but that's why you should benefit because they play a
[52:35] bunch of Mickey Mouse teams every weekend tomorrow.
[52:36] PSG wins, Let's put. Galatasaray in at that.
[52:39] I have Atlanta, I don't have PSG.
[52:40] What? Mickey Mouse, bro, Monaco, Leon.
[52:42] Those are not Mickey Mouse team. They be.
[52:44] Always a Mickey Mouse team in 20.
[52:45] Five check on Monaco. 2025 Leon's a fucking bottom of the
[52:49] barrel Sheffield United level OK?
[52:51] OK, now check Monaco maybe? One player on Leon nowadays
[52:54] that's not La Cazette. Kakare Mikal taze, Mika taze any
[52:58] shit? It's been oh you.
[53:00] Haven't watched? Go check Monaco.
[53:02] How's Monaco doing this? Sharky.
[53:04] Monaco's the only decent team and they beat them one nil in
[53:07] the 92nd minute and. What about the other time they
[53:09] played them two, two games ago? Go check that one out bro.
[53:11] Monaco's, it's a whole lot of red.
[53:13] I'm looking at their fucking whole lot of red.
[53:15] This. It's like a Playboy Cardi album.
[53:17] Holy shit. Holy shit.
[53:20] But they're 16th in Champions League.
[53:21] OK, you make logic. Keep it consistent.
[53:23] I said I had one team that I want to mention this.
[53:25] Is about to be the shittiest take of all time.
[53:28] And I think they deserve to be here over PSG.
[53:30] Newcastle definitely deserve a mention.
[53:33] That's not. That's not even a bad take,
[53:34] because. The form that these brothers are
[53:36] in, they're keeping clean sheets almost every single game.
[53:39] And Isaac's patch of form, you have to ask this question.
[53:42] Is he the best striker in the world right now?
[53:45] I'm gonna say no because guys like Harry Kane should still be
[53:49] regarded as the best striker in the world.
[53:50] Isaac is the best in form striker in the world.
[53:53] What's the difference? Because he's in form.
[53:56] Oh no, is. He the best?
[53:57] No, because. Tomorrow I'm taking no, sorry.
[54:00] Tomorrow, tomorrow and today, I'm taking Isaac.
[54:04] If I'm building a team next season, I'm taking Harry Kane.
[54:06] Harry Kane is a better striker. Lewandowski, OK, maybe not
[54:10] Lewandowski, maybe not. Holland is a better striker.
[54:12] Today, though, I take Isaac. Bro Isaac has everything you
[54:16] want in a striker. He has the dribbling, he has the
[54:18] finishing, he has a hold up, he has everything you would want.
[54:22] This is looking like an 100 and I'm gonna 150 million worth
[54:27] player. I'm not even capping.
[54:28] He's his price tag is around there, I can't lie, because look
[54:31] at how Newcastle is playing. Everything flows through him and
[54:34] if there's a goal, it's Isaac scoring.
[54:36] I. I think Newcastle is just
[54:38] looking like a Top 14 right now in the Prem.
[54:40] It's very difficult to find another striker that is his age,
[54:43] his skill set and his ability because really the only other
[54:47] player you have there is Holland.
[54:49] Everywhere else, everywhere, every other striker doesn't
[54:52] really come close to those two. So it's very easy to say that
[54:55] he's over that 120 hundred, $30 million threshold and there is a
[54:59] conversation. He is probably one of the best
[55:01] in the world. I wouldn't say the best, but
[55:03] listen. He's up there when Newcastle
[55:05] wasn't doing well at the beginning of the season, where
[55:07] where was Issac? He wasn't doing great.
[55:09] He's on injured. He's on a he wasn't injured for
[55:11] the he was playing injured. He was playing injured.
[55:14] No, he was injured on. No, he was.
[55:15] He was. Injured I had in FL.
[55:17] He was playing injured. He was complaining that he was
[55:20] injured and he was playing injured.
[55:21] He had like an orbital injury or something.
[55:24] Yeah, face or whatever, but you see that and like, okay, fine,
[55:29] early Holland, bad patch of form.
[55:30] When Manchester City had a bad patch of form, you matched that.
[55:33] But I see this as a purple patch the same way I see Chris Wood as
[55:36] a purple patch right now. I don't rate Chris Wood to that
[55:39] level, but Chris Wood stats wise should should be considered one
[55:43] of the best strikers in the world.
[55:44] But we know he isn't 'cause we have two eyes.
[55:45] You. Did not just you did not just
[55:47] compare. Go check the Chris Wood go.
[55:49] Check Chris Wood's form. Bro against Liverpool golden
[55:53] assist, Against Brentford goal Leicester golden assist.
[55:56] Brentford actually did nothing but that's EFL Cup.
[55:58] Ipswich hat trick Aston Villa goal Man United goal Tottenham
[56:01] goal the. Thing is that I see, I see Isaac
[56:05] being the next 100 million worth player to like come out of
[56:08] Newcastle. You know what I mean?
[56:09] Like, yeah, I don't see Chris Wood being no but.
[56:11] I'm just I'm saying that for let's not mistake form for
[56:14] class. I think he has a lot of class.
[56:16] Yeah, yes, both. Right now, he's been.
[56:18] Doing it for sure. He's been doing it for too long
[56:20] and now I feel like he just took that next step like it's it's he
[56:24] went from a very good player to now a dominant player by the.
[56:27] Way I predicted Isak being a good player and Barber told me
[56:29] he was should double. Down this was.
[56:30] Two years ago. This was many years ago, for
[56:32] that you remember. Yeah.
[56:33] I do when he first first. Joined sounds like some benefit.
[56:36] Of a doubt though on data shit you were.
[56:37] Just saying he was just a tall, lanky, awkward sounds.
[56:40] Like something Barbara would say.
[56:41] Now he's a tearing region. I think at Barusa Dorman, if I'm
[56:44] not mistaken, he wasn't that good, but he was.
[56:47] He was just starting out. And then we also see that is
[56:49] where he kind of stepped it up, but he was inconsistent.
[56:51] And then Newcastle, really like now he's one of the best, it's
[56:54] called. Development.
[56:55] Yeah, it was proper development of a player that has the
[56:58] potential to be one of the best. Elite strikers.
[57:00] I think that's a good transition because my #9 is Newcastle and
[57:04] I'm surprised you're saying that they're not even they're not in
[57:06] your top ten. I.
[57:07] Just can't look. My #9 I'm going to tell you my
[57:09] #9 is Napoli and I can't justify a Napoli top of the league, but
[57:14] they're still winning every game basically other than those two
[57:16] Latio games fair where Newcastle's fifth in their
[57:19] league and they had that that bad patch, but then.
[57:21] You look how not how Newcastle's winning games bro 404142.
[57:26] But it's like a Napoli. It's not a it's not, it's not
[57:29] that convincing about Man United.
[57:30] It was very convinced. Man United, Aston Villa, but,
[57:33] but I'm saying. It a buck.
[57:34] Yeah, Spurs. They were all convincing.
[57:36] Not convincing. They were very convincing, in my
[57:38] eyes at least. To use your logic against you,
[57:40] Napoli play versus Newcastle tomorrow.
[57:42] Who wins 2? Counts of smoking now I.
[57:44] Think that's a good, that's a good game.
[57:45] Smoking that Conte pack bro. No, I think, I think that's a
[57:48] very close game. I.
[57:50] I believe that with your soul, yes I do.
[57:52] You're capping Napoli's. First in the Syria bro, it's not
[57:55] that. Shouldn't you guys are the ones
[57:57] that always say Oh my God, Syria are so good.
[57:58] Sorry I'm so good. So when someone's top of your
[58:00] league, they deserve the respect.
[58:02] That's why I put them 10. But it's.
[58:04] Because I do think that Inter could still beat them.
[58:08] I do think Atlanta would probably beat them as well, but
[58:12] I I don't think there's many teams that beat Napoli right
[58:15] now, unfortunately, especially in Cetia.
[58:18] They're they're a tough opposition to beat like versus
[58:20] so defensively sound versus. Milan, like they beat us.
[58:23] They would beat you versus you. They beat us versus UAO's at
[58:25] high. Newcastle, Newcastle's the same
[58:27] thing on they don't have any European competitions.
[58:30] So for them it's the same, it's the same thing as Napoli.
[58:33] It's they're playing one game a week basically at this point and
[58:36] they're not they they've been playing very well, but they're
[58:39] not top of their league, but they're.
[58:40] Not playing Cali. But you you can look at top of
[58:43] the league and make your power rankings off of that.
[58:45] Like just because Napolis first doesn't mean that they should be
[58:48] up there as your best team in the world.
[58:50] You gotta look at who they played.
[58:51] Newcastle played oppositions that, in my opinion, were better
[58:54] than who Napoli played against. Newcastle won dominantly, Napoli
[58:58] did not. Look, right before our last
[59:00] power rankings, they went four games without a win in the Prem.
[59:03] They lost 2 nothing to West Ham, tied Crystal Palace, tied
[59:06] Liverpool and lost to Brentford. So it's just the last month has
[59:10] been very good for Newcastle. I think if they continue this,
[59:13] they will totally be that's. What it is no but.
[59:16] They, they weren't even in the conversation before this patch
[59:19] of form. Now that they got this patch
[59:20] form, I said they're an honorable mention for me.
[59:22] They're in and around that power ranking spot.
[59:24] If they have another good month, then they'll break into that 10
[59:27] that top ten I. Don't know the the power
[59:29] rankings is tough because look, you say don't use don't use such
[59:33] short term form to like move somebody in the power rankings
[59:35] that much. But like a team like Chelsea had
[59:37] an entire good entire good season up to this point.
[59:40] We all had them in the park and now I'm sure we've all kicked
[59:42] them out because because the. Last month has been very.
[59:45] Exactly. So you're using them past month
[59:47] or no? No.
[59:48] But it's there's a balance here. There's there's no Chelsea.
[59:51] Chelsea before this, when they were on good form, were 8th or
[59:54] 7th in my power rankings. If you have a bad month, then
[59:56] you're 8th or 7th. If you're 4th, it's different.
[59:59] If you're 3rd or 4th, it's very different to what you have.
[1:00:02] If you're 7th or 8th and you have bad form, you're not going
[1:00:04] to make the top ten, I'm sorry to tell you.
[1:00:06] There's other teams in and around that 11 to 15 that that
[1:00:09] they linger there, yeah. Like let's say my my 12 or 13
[1:00:12] have a month of undefeated win after win after win.
[1:00:15] They're going to leapfrog my number 7.
[1:00:18] Yeah, but that's 'cause they just had a good month.
[1:00:20] Yeah, but then who's to say that that team is not in the top 10
[1:00:24] next month? That that team that you
[1:00:26] leapfrogged could just as easily come down and not be in the top
[1:00:29] ten the next month. Like Newcastle, What?
[1:00:32] Let's say like Newcastle, let's say they play four times next
[1:00:35] month. What?
[1:00:36] What do they need to stay in your power rankings?
[1:00:39] 22 wins or not all three wins? Two wins is not enough to stay
[1:00:42] in mine. It really depends how they like
[1:00:45] it really depends the the performances.
[1:00:47] That's what we're ignoring right now because.
[1:00:49] Yeah, but it's also a position in the table.
[1:00:51] You win three out of it with a draw.
[1:00:53] You end up being what, 4th? Even third?
[1:00:55] Like then there's conversation. Of course you you deserve to be
[1:00:58] in the top ten. My.
[1:00:59] Reasoning for not putting Chelsea is because they didn't
[1:01:02] play good. Yeah, this month they were not
[1:01:04] playing good. They lost against Ipswich and
[1:01:06] they didn't look like the better team, which is crazy but.
[1:01:08] You know, Chelsea have the potential to stay in the top 10.
[1:01:10] Like if they're on good form, they're in a top ten, Yes,
[1:01:13] better. Fringe They.
[1:01:14] Need to have performances and good results they had.
[1:01:17] No, they didn't. So I mean for me at the 9, I
[1:01:20] have Athletico obviously. Very low, low, low, very very
[1:01:24] low. I really.
[1:01:25] Don't think that's low because you see, because we've had we've
[1:01:27] had these conversations where athletic like even you guys said
[1:01:30] Athletico didn't win convincingly, but they've.
[1:01:33] Been winning convincingly but. Now they're starting to get into
[1:01:36] form and now they're they're still first in La Liga, so at
[1:01:39] the end of the day, they still deserve to be in a top ten.
[1:01:42] Do I think that the teams above could still beat them?
[1:01:45] Yes. Yeah, but that's like, I don't
[1:01:48] really judge my power rankings off, if not necessarily head to
[1:01:51] head, but like Atletico Madrid has been convincingly winning
[1:01:54] games, yes, and they're undefeated and they're first to
[1:01:57] La Liga. That like that's the perfect
[1:01:59] resume of a team that. Way.
[1:02:01] Higher, yes. Oh, maybe Madrid passed them.
[1:02:04] 'Cause of that win versus yeah. Yeah, yeah, you're right.
[1:02:06] I don't. Think so or.
[1:02:07] Madrid have a game in hand or something.
[1:02:09] It might be close. Madrid have a game in hand.
[1:02:10] Yeah, they're two points off. So if Athletic will win their
[1:02:12] game or whatever, let's go. Disrespect, you know, of course
[1:02:15] they still deserve this without this was.
[1:02:17] A tough one for me I don't know if I wanted to put them higher
[1:02:19] 'cause I I was afraid it was gonna be like, bro I'm.
[1:02:21] Pretty sure political hasn't lost in like double digit.
[1:02:23] Happens bro. Their form is is off the charts
[1:02:26] and there's teams in there that like that's there's Barcelona in
[1:02:28] there, there's Dorman in there over there.
[1:02:30] Bro they haven't lost since October 27th.
[1:02:32] What would have been their And it's all.
[1:02:34] Wins what? Have been December's results.
[1:02:36] December win, win. Win.
[1:02:38] Yeah, but what but like. 3-1 the only three. 311 Nothing. 21
[1:02:41] against Barcelona the only. There were tough games.
[1:02:44] There were tough games. The.
[1:02:45] Big question mark was the Barcelona game where they
[1:02:47] actually ended up winning. They got the result, but they
[1:02:50] didn't play that well. Like they just played their
[1:02:52] game. They understand, but you got you
[1:02:54] got the win and there. Might be a reason why another
[1:02:55] team is lost. The thing about Athletico Madrid
[1:02:57] this year is that usually they don't stick around goal
[1:02:59] difference wise. With Barcelona and Real Madrid.
[1:03:01] Usually those two like leapfrog them and 9:00.
[1:03:04] And it's one zeros. It's still somewhat close.
[1:03:07] Like they're only three off of Real Madrid and eight off of
[1:03:09] Varsa. I believe so, yeah.
[1:03:10] But. We're probably talk about
[1:03:11] athletic more because I think we all have them.
[1:03:13] Yeah, relatively higher. 8 eight I have Atlanta, so we already
[1:03:17] spoke a bit about them. I think bro lost the Inter and
[1:03:22] Real Madrid. I know those aren't going to be
[1:03:23] the same as as value wise as a lost move them below like no,
[1:03:28] no, I dropped them. I dropped them.
[1:03:29] I had them at 7:00 last time. You had them at 7:00.
[1:03:32] So shall we say who we had last month?
[1:03:35] I had. Them at 7:00 last month.
[1:03:36] Not not necessarily. I'm I'm keeping up like if
[1:03:39] there's any egregious ones. But yeah.
[1:03:42] You had them at 7, I had them at 10.
[1:03:44] So. At 8:00, yeah.
[1:03:46] So for. Me those two losses, even though
[1:03:48] their team's bear in them, they do deserve a drop, but they're
[1:03:50] still in that conversation in my personal I.
[1:03:52] Guess 'cause I was for me there were 10 and they dropped out of
[1:03:55] the table come. See around the 16 I do not want
[1:03:56] to get drawn Atlanta they're a. Scary team to feel they are a
[1:03:58] scary team. That's it.
[1:03:59] That's. Even today if the the drop was
[1:04:02] done today, I don't want to Atlanta.
[1:04:03] Yeah, it's. Like it's like what we said with
[1:04:04] Inter, like obviously Inter, they play, they play very
[1:04:07] similarly. Inter is just a higher quality
[1:04:09] Atlanta. Atlanta is just like a a light
[1:04:11] version of. Inter the Walmart version, well
[1:04:13] I wouldn't say Walmart. Because they still end up
[1:04:15] beating top teams and they brought a game against Real
[1:04:17] Madrid so their. Lineup is just so mediocre yeah
[1:04:19] it. Looks mediocre guys provided it.
[1:04:21] Works. It works.
[1:04:22] It works. And it's dominant.
[1:04:24] It's not one of those that just sits back.
[1:04:26] It's actually progressive football.
[1:04:28] I would. Say as of late it hasn't been as
[1:04:30] dominant, but around because of. The inter game.
[1:04:33] Yeah. But even before that, I don't
[1:04:35] think they were like they didn't have like a full like 7080
[1:04:38] minutes of pure domination with games.
[1:04:40] But I do think that around the time that we started having
[1:04:43] conversation about Atlanta, they were up there.
[1:04:45] They were definitely deserved to be there, The thing.
[1:04:47] About Atlanta is that I see them dropping off eventually because
[1:04:50] they always kind of do that. They start off so strong and
[1:04:53] then kind of dip, yeah. That's just a lack of depth.
[1:04:55] But who? Knows.
[1:04:56] Yeah, exactly. In the in the eighth spot, I
[1:04:57] have Barcelona. I got Barcelona too.
[1:05:00] Barcelona do I have? Barcelona as the highest?
[1:05:02] You might have Barsa high, but I don't think.
[1:05:04] Deserve there I have Barsa the high I don't.
[1:05:05] Think they deserve to be down anything higher than 8 if I'm
[1:05:08] going to be completely honest even. 8 is a bit of stretch in
[1:05:10] my personal. No, I think they deserve to be 8
[1:05:13] at least just because they still dominate games.
[1:05:16] Yeah. Versus Athletico, they they
[1:05:17] still had a. We all saw that game.
[1:05:19] Chances. We all saw that.
[1:05:20] That's the Levandowski disaster club.
[1:05:21] Yeah, like but. Lewandowski's on the team.
[1:05:23] I don't understand why you guys are giving him this like.
[1:05:25] Because the performances are there.
[1:05:26] Yeah, it's not like they can go buy another Strikers.
[1:05:29] They stuck with him. OK, sure, sure.
[1:05:31] But I mean in other games if you get like a three XG I'm hoping
[1:05:35] you're winning unless. There's some 16 year old
[1:05:36] motherfucker in La Macia that we haven't heard about probably.
[1:05:40] There probably is probably, you know they.
[1:05:41] Don't have strikers? They debuted the second after
[1:05:44] after Laminia Mall. They debuted another 16 year old
[1:05:47] this weekend. The second youngest Lamacia
[1:05:48] player ever. What?
[1:05:49] Was his name. You know, Fernandez or or I'll
[1:05:52] find this exactly. In doubt?
[1:05:53] Always say Fernandez, yeah. But at #8 instead of Barcelona,
[1:05:57] I have Bayern. Well, quite low.
[1:06:00] Bro, but mine's loss. Mine's loss was big.
[1:06:02] Mine's loss. Leverkusen lost 10.
[1:06:06] Yeah, but red card by Noyer. That game was low key tight
[1:06:09] until Noyer got that stupid record.
[1:06:12] It was, it was a tough game, yeah.
[1:06:13] I mean, listen that the mine, it's just not like it's not
[1:06:16] crazy positive results. And where did we?
[1:06:18] Where did we have them last time?
[1:06:19] Antonio Fernandez, but I. Had them six last time.
[1:06:22] I think the thing with Bayern is that they actually got better
[1:06:25] right now. Like defensively they're scoring
[1:06:27] a shit ton of goals. Lost against mines.
[1:06:30] They did lose, but that's another game.
[1:06:32] Once again they dominated and they should have won.
[1:06:35] I see what you're saying, like you know that the qualities
[1:06:37] there lost. Against Leverkusen also I
[1:06:39] believe since the last power rankings one nil against
[1:06:41] Leverkusen and. The rest of their games were not
[1:06:43] versus where the opponents. Guard with Noyer.
[1:06:45] The issue with Byron is that like it's tough to drop them.
[1:06:49] It's very tough to drop them cuz low key it's not tough.
[1:06:52] No, I don't know. Are they even in your top?
[1:06:54] Yeah. They are there.
[1:06:55] But you know what I mean? Like you don't the results.
[1:06:58] Technically any other team I would put them like closer to
[1:07:00] 10. But you know, cuz it's like
[1:07:01] Bayern, it's it's like you. They still, they're still very
[1:07:05] strong. You lost and tied to two of your
[1:07:06] main rivals. That's.
[1:07:07] What I'm saying? You lost the minds, which is not
[1:07:10] even a rival, and here's a top six team right now, but still
[1:07:12] first. They deserve a drop in this
[1:07:14] month. They deserve.
[1:07:15] And I had them I like I think they had them at like 6 or
[1:07:16] something. I had them at 6:00.
[1:07:18] So I dropped them too. I.
[1:07:18] Don't know if they deserve a drop because they deserve a
[1:07:21] drop. They've scored I believe like 55
[1:07:23] goals this year, which is. Top.
[1:07:26] That's always Bayern. They've yeah, but they always
[1:07:28] have those crazy. I think Musiala has really been
[1:07:30] stepping it up. Oppa Meccano somehow has been
[1:07:32] stepping it up too. Yeah, just wait for the show
[1:07:34] this. Is temporary for me.
[1:07:35] I I know Bayern will go up eventually, but right now it's
[1:07:38] also that I have to fit other teams above them.
[1:07:40] Yeah, it's it's very it's a tough team have.
[1:07:42] We also #8 yeah, so I'll just say my #7 that's where I have
[1:07:45] Barcelona. It was interchangeable with
[1:07:46] Bayern. Honestly it was a coin flip
[1:07:48] situation. I I have athletico #7 I.
[1:07:51] Still think that's? Really.
[1:07:52] Damn bro, I still. Think that's little bro?
[1:07:54] I mean, that could be a little reactionary, but I have Man City
[1:07:57] 7. I do see it on your list.
[1:07:59] Yeah, yeah, not on my list. They're all my list.
[1:08:02] I do. Why 2?
[1:08:03] Two wins in a row. That's why he grabbed the Man
[1:08:05] City kit. So wait.
[1:08:07] Well, I don't know what the problem is.
[1:08:08] Barcelona is lower than Man City.
[1:08:10] Yeah, but Man City have always been in the 1st power rankings.
[1:08:13] We all put them in the top three.
[1:08:14] OK, but this is this party is there and now they're getting
[1:08:17] back. You're the.
[1:08:17] Biggest advocate for power rankings are separate.
[1:08:20] Yes I agree but but you also know that the quality is there.
[1:08:23] Like if Real Madrid were on a three-game losing, they haven't
[1:08:25] been. You realize how I said Athletico
[1:08:27] haven't lost since October 27th? Yes.
[1:08:30] But yeah, Man City have three wins since October 27, Yes.
[1:08:32] But it's also still Man City at the end of the day, which we
[1:08:35] have spoke about. So you're.
[1:08:36] Giving not a block. Yeah, 3000.
[1:08:38] OK, well, listen, if they if they lose another two games,
[1:08:41] they're out of my top ten, but right now they on their form
[1:08:43] right now their. Form they want two games.
[1:08:46] They just beat West Ham and that's.
[1:08:47] It they have fixed problems I'm putting them back in.
[1:08:50] What problem they? Played West Ham and Leicester.
[1:08:53] Brother, those are still big results.
[1:08:54] They drew everything. Big results for them.
[1:08:56] Those are big results if you ever won a game in two in two
[1:08:59] months. If they put if.
[1:09:00] They beat. If they beat Southford in the FA
[1:09:03] Cup. Next week I'm putting them
[1:09:04] right. They.
[1:09:05] Lost to UVA, they lost to United bro.
[1:09:08] Atlanta just beat Chessen at six.
[1:09:09] One put them Penn. Bro I'm just saying Man City
[1:09:13] still have the best striker in the world.
[1:09:14] Holland still have one one of the best cams in the world but
[1:09:16] their. Performance is not nothing.
[1:09:18] You're gonna look now. They're getting back into a row
[1:09:20] 4 wall versus. West Ham, The.
[1:09:22] Games that they have before next power rankings is very
[1:09:24] interesting. Really I'm keep this in mind.
[1:09:26] Let's go. They have to play PSG, OK?
[1:09:28] Chelsea alright. Arsenal before next power
[1:09:30] ranking I'm. Sorry, I'm not picking Man City
[1:09:33] to win any of those, OK? PSG maybe, but Chelsea and
[1:09:35] Arsenal? I'm.
[1:09:35] I'm not. Confident as I.
[1:09:37] Was maybe a year ago I agree with you guys if they lose those
[1:09:39] games, I agree with you guys, but they.
[1:09:40] Lost all of them before. Bro I'm telling you my city OK I
[1:09:44] I just have them as in my 7 I don't understand why they.
[1:09:47] Lost to a bunch of teams in our, in our, since our last power
[1:09:50] ranking, OK, they've lost. They've lost.
[1:09:53] We did our power rankings around here.
[1:09:55] They've lost to Liverpool, they've lost to UVA, they've
[1:09:58] lost to men's to Man United. They lost about all third.
[1:10:01] They lost where was where. No, they're not at their third
[1:10:04] we. Got it.
[1:10:05] No, no, stop rage babe. This is actually stop rage babe.
[1:10:08] So you have Man City 9. They deserve a raise now.
[1:10:12] Bro I didn't give them a fucking jump to top five.
[1:10:15] You gave them a jump. Though I didn't.
[1:10:16] Give them a monster jump. How are?
[1:10:18] Cities, but they lot Millie Millie Millie I don't have so
[1:10:22] look at the calendar. See it?
[1:10:23] Bro, I have two fucking eyes. You need to shut the fuck up.
[1:10:26] I put them seven because they're back on winning, bro, they want
[1:10:29] you to. If they want three games would
[1:10:30] you put them in their in your top 10?
[1:10:31] Bro they won three games in the last.
[1:10:33] No, I'm saying if they want three in a row, this is the last
[1:10:36] no. So how many more games do they
[1:10:37] need if they be united? Would they in the?
[1:10:39] Last month, in the last month, OK, they've lost more games than
[1:10:43] they've won, OK, and they deserve a bump in your but.
[1:10:46] More recently that two games in. Newcastle is undefeated this
[1:10:51] month. Still, are they not there?
[1:10:52] Manchester City goes six wins in a row.
[1:10:53] Are they still in your top 10? Six wins in a row.
[1:10:56] You have a discussion to be in there.
[1:10:57] Discussion but two. But it happens.
[1:10:59] Just but two games early. But two games?
[1:11:01] What about guys get early? It's Lester and West.
[1:11:03] Get early. It's like stop got.
[1:11:07] To get early. To buy right now.
[1:11:09] The Rook. That's the Rook ball have.
[1:11:11] They been better since the last power ranking.
[1:11:14] Right. Listen.
[1:11:15] Yeah. No, no, but just I just want
[1:11:16] your yes, they. Have been better since the last
[1:11:17] power ranking. I'm not they've.
[1:11:19] Done. They've had puzzles.
[1:11:20] Power rankings they've. Lost.
[1:11:22] A lot. This is the last power ranking.
[1:11:24] Between between the last time we ranked Manchester City till now,
[1:11:26] have they been? Have you Had they done enough to
[1:11:28] boost or drop? But I could have kept them in
[1:11:30] the same. I could have kept them in and
[1:11:32] around. I didn't.
[1:11:32] I didn't put them in the top. If you raised them two spots.
[1:11:35] That's fine for me. I don't have an issue with that
[1:11:37] because I do think I do think. Defending and you you're.
[1:11:40] Not you're not. You didn't.
[1:11:41] Realize it when you wrote it. Now you're defending it to the
[1:11:44] grave. I'm.
[1:11:45] Not bro, I'm the one that wrote this.
[1:11:46] It's fine. But they raised 2 positions for
[1:11:49] getting back. I don't.
[1:11:50] Get it K but next power rankings I will determine whether or not
[1:11:53] I will take them out of the. Lesson in West Ham, What am I
[1:11:55] missing? OK, well, it's still Manchester
[1:11:57] City, still routes Milan, by the way, right, Even if I know,
[1:11:59] still routes Milan, I know, but at least.
[1:12:01] Now if Milan, if you guys even check it.
[1:12:03] Out we have one game. If we beat the end tomorrow, we
[1:12:06] better see yourself. I don't.
[1:12:07] Know what the fuck? You're talking about two wins in
[1:12:09] a row. Two wins in a row.
[1:12:10] I'm taking that, yeah. No problem bro, we.
[1:12:12] Beat city. You in the city are we do.
[1:12:13] You have the best. Do you have the best striker in
[1:12:15] the world on your team? Morata might just be there bro,
[1:12:17] you never know. Team no you.
[1:12:19] Don't have the best striker in the world?
[1:12:21] You're gonna burn on your team, bro.
[1:12:23] You don't so. How does having the best?
[1:12:25] Player to see Johnny Reindeer have.
[1:12:27] We not been saying that Manchester City will come.
[1:12:29] Back from they've. Been saying that that.
[1:12:31] Is the that is, but that's. Future that has to happen.
[1:12:35] What happened for me to put them on my list?
[1:12:36] Who's to say that this isn't the start of that?
[1:12:38] But that's the start. They just be.
[1:12:39] Lester and West Ham like I'm gonna be.
[1:12:41] President, LA Media. Mouth's the greatest player of
[1:12:43] all time. We're just catching it at the
[1:12:45] start. He's the greatest player
[1:12:47] already, like, really like Chelsea.
[1:12:49] Chelsea I I think have like they have the quality to be top ten,
[1:12:52] but they had bad, they had a bad run of fixture so I dropped them
[1:12:54] out of my power ranking but. Matches just listen in the.
[1:12:56] Last month they have less losses than Man City, I know.
[1:12:59] I know, but I'm just saying. But truly, but truly, my
[1:13:01] underlying quality. I'm saying right now with
[1:13:04] Manchester City 2, two wins in a row, I'm not discounting
[1:13:07] everything that happened before, but two wins in a row with the
[1:13:09] quality of the team that they have, which we you guys have
[1:13:11] been saying, OK, there's definitely holes, but it's still
[1:13:14] a very good team. They should still be top 10
[1:13:16] qualities. But it sold the entire team in
[1:13:18] the rebuild. It's not.
[1:13:19] Sold the entire team in the rebuild.
[1:13:21] We all did two players. It's not necessarily.
[1:13:23] Just make the video entertaining.
[1:13:25] That's great bro. It's not.
[1:13:26] Necessarily the quality of the players, it's how they play KDB.
[1:13:30] Like, listen, yeah, he's had one good game in the past five.
[1:13:34] What? Sure.
[1:13:35] Well, OK, like if that, if that's what you're saying, OK,
[1:13:38] no problem. I just can't, I just can't see.
[1:13:40] How did you put below city? Barsa.
[1:13:43] Like Athletico below. City is crazy, yeah.
[1:13:46] It's crazy like I. Think, I think in Champions
[1:13:48] League, in Champions League, Man City Athletico, who would you
[1:13:51] have look? I think this podcast is just us
[1:13:56] flexing our debating. Yeah, I don't.
[1:13:57] Know I don't know. Listen.
[1:13:58] So now we're on to which number? Here since since we're in the.
[1:14:02] Early next month when the city are back to being good next
[1:14:05] month village is like bro, I told you, but it's not going to
[1:14:07] make it right. But that's.
[1:14:08] That's a, That's a. This is not a prediction.
[1:14:10] This is. It's our.
[1:14:12] I get it. OK, we're at numbers, we're at
[1:14:14] spot #7. Since 6:00.
[1:14:16] Here, wait, let me just get something out and then, OK,
[1:14:18] perfect. Since we're all very aggressive
[1:14:21] right now. My #7 is Real Madrid.
[1:14:24] They have not been, they have not been as convinced and I
[1:14:28] have. Energy to fight out.
[1:14:28] Wait, wait. Just let me let me say my point.
[1:14:31] They have not been as convincing as other teams performance was.
[1:14:35] Barce is under Real Madrid and this is the reason why I put
[1:14:38] Real Madrid over Barsa because they actually won the games, but
[1:14:40] they won against Valencia. What #8 Oh my God, what are you?
[1:14:44] Talking about I so I'm basing my teams off of performances.
[1:14:48] Real Madrid have not played that well to be in a top five
[1:14:52] conversation. They have won games, however, so
[1:14:55] they have been better than Barcelona this month.
[1:14:57] Therefore they're above Barcelona.
[1:15:00] They're 7th. This this has gone off the rails
[1:15:02] guys. I'm sorry for such a bad ball.
[1:15:03] I I don't think you know what you're doing with Power Rangers.
[1:15:06] Worse than that, but like, that's really bad.
[1:15:09] No, bro, yeah. You're looking at him, Bapa.
[1:15:12] You're looking at Vinnie OR. I just called him Bapa shit 15
[1:15:15] minutes ago. OK, so he's looking at player
[1:15:18] quality then. I'm not looking at push quality
[1:15:20] necessarily. I'm looking at even the way the
[1:15:22] team plays. Yes, Real Madrid.
[1:15:24] They almost lost against Valencia.
[1:15:26] Almost bro. Today you're living in almost
[1:15:27] some firms. No, but they almost lost against
[1:15:29] Valencia so. Almost won real almost.
[1:15:31] But what is this but? Wait, I'm consistent with it
[1:15:34] because even though they almost lost, the performance wise they
[1:15:37] still won. So that's why they're above
[1:15:39] Barcelona. I know, but I take my loss.
[1:15:41] Since the last power rankings, they have six wins, one draw,
[1:15:44] one loss. Yeah, performance wins,
[1:15:47] including wins against Girona, Atlanta, Sevilla and Valencia,
[1:15:51] as I told. You I don't think they had a
[1:15:53] great performance against the Atlanta.
[1:15:56] Just like Napoli, they won all of their games but they have not
[1:15:59] been convincing. Me, if you're going like you're
[1:16:01] really debating a Real Madrid team on them playing Liquid
[1:16:04] football, you realize what you're.
[1:16:06] No, I'm not. Yeah, you are.
[1:16:07] You are because you're expecting Real Madrid always, and I mean
[1:16:11] always, shit their way through the season like they they
[1:16:14] literally so do. We have to put them top three
[1:16:16] every year, brother, every power rankings, their top three
[1:16:19] brother. They're temporarily top of the
[1:16:20] table. They some of those, some of
[1:16:23] those BBC years, they were actually horrendous but and at
[1:16:26] the end of the day. And this is not a man.
[1:16:28] City situation where they lose 10 games in a row or whatever.
[1:16:31] It's it's OK. They lose a couple games and
[1:16:34] they win. Like they don't look good.
[1:16:36] You, you give them the benefit of the doubt.
[1:16:38] Bro it's Real Madrid. OK, so Real Madrid benefit of
[1:16:39] doubt, but Barcelona? I know, but because Barcelona is
[1:16:42] not Real Madrid, you. Actually, you've seen a Real
[1:16:44] Madrid this season play like a a a style of football.
[1:16:47] That's the problem. I don't think they're that
[1:16:49] convincing. I know, but this same style of
[1:16:50] football you have has gotten them to your top 2IN power
[1:16:53] rankings some weeks. The the first weeks, because I
[1:16:55] actually thought they were playing quite well, but in the
[1:16:58] past month, the Valencia game especially, I was watching that
[1:17:01] and I wasn't convinced. The Atlanta game, I don't think
[1:17:03] they played that well that. Happened like 8 times last
[1:17:05] season where Bellingham scored a last minute goal to to win the
[1:17:07] game. Yeah, it's always been scrappy
[1:17:09] with Real and somehow it always gets results, but it's.
[1:17:10] Not even, it's not even scrappy. It's just like there's no but
[1:17:13] there's moments where like Real Madrid are dominating the game.
[1:17:15] Individuals. That they were dominating the
[1:17:17] game and Atlanta found moments. That's what it was like.
[1:17:20] There wasn't. 32 against Atlanta it.
[1:17:22] Was 31 and then they scored. I think it was a pen in the
[1:17:24] second-half or something, but. But it's more like, it's more
[1:17:26] like Real Madrid. They they have larger moments of
[1:17:30] dominations in games and then it's a lack of judgement or
[1:17:34] there's some sort of brain fart that happens and then they end
[1:17:37] up conceding a goal or two. But I see, I see other teams
[1:17:41] having just the just the same domination, but they end up
[1:17:44] losing the game because they don't have a Bellingham that
[1:17:46] scores in the last minute. True.
[1:17:48] But exactly, rail does have Bellingham.
[1:17:50] Barcelona doesn't, for example. So they've been dominating
[1:17:54] games. They've been dominating games,
[1:17:56] but they don't have the result. That's why Barcelona is on the
[1:17:58] realm the only. Thing the difference between
[1:18:00] Juventus and the top in the in the power rankings, we don't
[1:18:02] have Holland, we don't have Vinicius, we don't have Mbapi.
[1:18:05] That's not what I said but but. The reality is they have MBAPI,
[1:18:08] they have any, they have Bellingham.
[1:18:11] But they're not winning like the fact that they have them.
[1:18:13] They should even be winning against Valencia.
[1:18:15] Very dominant the. Greatest manager of all time,
[1:18:17] according to you know he's. Up there you.
[1:18:19] Said he's the best. The best I've never PEP is the
[1:18:21] best. He said.
[1:18:22] I don't. I don't remember what.
[1:18:23] He said. I don't remember.
[1:18:24] I don't. Remember that either.
[1:18:26] You said that Robin is better than Anthony.
[1:18:30] I mean, yes, Anthony is better than Robin.
[1:18:32] I'll admit that. For him, I'll admit, Robin is
[1:18:35] better than. Anthony, you Robin.
[1:18:40] Anyways, that's. The cat.
[1:18:41] That's the cat meme. The Tony.
[1:18:44] Soprano rage, baby, we're. On 6.
[1:18:46] Yeah, go 6 BIOS. Did you guys say 7/7?
[1:18:49] No 7, I said. I said 7.
[1:18:50] Who is your 7 Athletico City? OK, Barsa, Barsa.
[1:18:56] I don't know if I said I don't think I said it, but yeah, Barsa
[1:18:58] at 7:00, I am the highest. I have the highest of any of us.
[1:19:00] You guys had them at 8 and you had them.
[1:19:02] Yeah, I had them at 8:00. I had Barcelona.
[1:19:04] At 10, OK, yeah, no, I have them at seven.
[1:19:06] I mean, we spoken so much about fucking Barcelona.
[1:19:10] Barsa fans don't say I don't love.
[1:19:12] You 6 Okay, we can go on to six. I have Byron we spoke about.
[1:19:15] Byron as well I have by they. Did not move for me by.
[1:19:18] Buy your lever cues. Did you have Byron lower or
[1:19:21] higher? Buyer lower, lower.
[1:19:24] OK by the buyer. There's a new There's a new
[1:19:25] dawn, there's a new top, there's a new chief in town.
[1:19:28] In Germany, and it's coming. Buyer Leverkusen bro, I know the
[1:19:31] red, the Noyer Read whatever I'm thinking.
[1:19:33] Like bro, have you checked their form?
[1:19:35] I know, I checked. That they never.
[1:19:36] Lose it when I said it last. Power ranking that Leverkusen
[1:19:39] does say bro. Deserve to be 8.
[1:19:41] Barbara cooked. Barbara cooked.
[1:19:42] When I said Lyricusen deserve to be 8th in last power rankings, I
[1:19:45] got shredded. Barbara, I got shredded.
[1:19:47] I forgot the. Word of them.
[1:19:49] This brother but Dorman less power wrecking.
[1:19:53] He was buying him loaf. He was buying him loaf.
[1:19:55] They drew versus Bayern and then yeah, they've been on fire.
[1:19:58] They have won every single game since November 9th and then the
[1:20:03] only loss they really have this season is Liverpool and Leipzig.
[1:20:06] First day of the season, but. In the last in the last month,
[1:20:09] they dominantly beat Inter, in my opinion, the 10 performance.
[1:20:12] They kind of smoked you, although you had your moments.
[1:20:16] It was they, they were, they played, they were the better
[1:20:19] teams. Like like Puff wasn't a smoking
[1:20:21] wasn't it was. Like.
[1:20:21] Hello smoke sesh. But it was like, you know, when
[1:20:24] you're cold outside, light puff. Light puff I go back in like
[1:20:26] puff you. Walk back in.
[1:20:27] That's what it was and. In the league, obviously they
[1:20:29] got to win against Bayern, which was actually, no, it wasn't in
[1:20:31] the league though, it was in the cup at the FD Pole Cup, which
[1:20:33] was crucial for them. And they've been winning.
[1:20:36] They won every game and they won.
[1:20:37] They went convincingly. That's the that's the thing
[1:20:40] that. You have them at your 6.
[1:20:42] If you want to go to 5th, I have them 5th but we.
[1:20:44] Already said it's all Bayern and me.
[1:20:46] Bayern Leverkus, yes. And then, oh, you have them
[1:20:48] fifth. Who's that?
[1:20:48] Yours. Lever cusen 5th.
[1:20:50] No lever cusen 6. OK, so because we all went
[1:20:52] through our six, so. Yeah, yeah, you had six.
[1:20:54] Bayern, Bayern, Bayern, Bayern, Yeah.
[1:20:56] And I had Bayer. Yeah, Leverkusen.
[1:20:58] And now we go on the 5th. I have Bayer Leverkusen.
[1:21:00] I have Bayern Lever I. Think they've been better than
[1:21:02] Bayern Munich? Is there something different?
[1:21:04] I have something different. OK, we'll leave that.
[1:21:05] Bayern, Leverkusen, they've been definitely, definitely deserved
[1:21:08] to be up. And they caught up.
[1:21:09] They're almost. They're second now they're.
[1:21:11] They're they're top five material, 4 points behind
[1:21:13] Bayern. They're they're top five.
[1:21:14] I'd be. Worried if I was Bayern plus.
[1:21:16] Plus their Champions League form and I, I feel like they'll do a
[1:21:19] lot of damage deep into the Champions.
[1:21:21] Yeah, so. I wonder who they're playing up
[1:21:22] next. But they're very.
[1:21:23] Good vibes. Supposedly Verts is looking to
[1:21:25] resign there also yes. So it's a ball.
[1:21:28] Not even like it's an unsustainable bro if they're
[1:21:30] able to keep Verts. Let's say that Real Madrid job
[1:21:32] doesn't open up or Man City job doesn't open up jobby Lonzo
[1:21:35] might stay for longer. Test that's needed.
[1:21:37] They have doorman coming up. They have.
[1:21:39] Doorman mines, which we saw mines can can't be teams
[1:21:42] munching Glad Back and Athletico Madrid.
[1:21:43] Oh, that's a game. I think honestly for a team like
[1:21:46] lever cues and that should be an easy run through.
[1:21:49] If you've seen you've seen dominant teams in the Bundesliga
[1:21:51] like Byron in the past, a schedule like that should not
[1:21:54] fear someone. Yeah, but if you get.
[1:21:55] Through that, then you're prove, then you prove to us, and you're
[1:21:57] legit. I I, I bought my stocks.
[1:21:59] I think that that's pretty legit.
[1:22:01] Yeah. My #5 What do you have, Arsenal?
[1:22:05] Little low. The last The last month has not
[1:22:07] been. The last month has not been I
[1:22:11] I'm I believe I had Arsenal. Let me check where I had Arsenal
[1:22:14] last time. I'm only.
[1:22:15] Allowing this for one reason. I had Arsenal 6th.
[1:22:18] And you dropped them last time. So I moved them back up, they
[1:22:21] won a couple of games. I don't think it's it's the
[1:22:23] best, like I don't think it's the best time to them for
[1:22:28] Arsenal. They've won game.
[1:22:30] They just tied Brighton, you know?
[1:22:31] What the issue is is that like where do you put them with with
[1:22:35] an injured soccer? That's why that's the only
[1:22:37] reason why I'm allowing any slander today is because power
[1:22:40] ranking includes stuff like this and soccer injury. 100% soccer
[1:22:45] alone drops your position. But in the last month you have
[1:22:47] draws to Fulham, Everton and Brighton which has kind of taken
[1:22:50] you out of the title race. You I still say you're in there,
[1:22:53] but like potentially 9 points off if Liverpool win their next
[1:22:57] game. Like it's games like that that
[1:22:58] you really look back at the end of the season, you're like, wow,
[1:23:00] we should have had those, bro. This might be a record like low
[1:23:03] on who wins the with how many points the team wins the Premier
[1:23:06] League. If no one clearly runs away with
[1:23:07] it, it's not going to be a 90 something point win.
[1:23:09] It's going to be like. 88 That's because the league quality right
[1:23:12] now is so strong. It's not like 20 when Leicester
[1:23:15] won the Premier League bro, they went to the teams.
[1:23:17] No teams did well in Seattle and it was just horrendous quality
[1:23:20] everywhere. Yeah, but yeah, but you can't
[1:23:23] you, you're not just gonna pinpoint Lester's season and
[1:23:25] say, yeah, that. Was that was the one?
[1:23:27] No, but that was the lowest point to pure player quality in
[1:23:30] the Prem potentially. I I think maybe a season or two
[1:23:33] before that, maybe like 2013, fourteen or 1415, no.
[1:23:36] That was that was I don't that's when that's when Robin van
[1:23:39] Persie and stuff was in the Prem.
[1:23:40] You were at the end of careers at that point in my opinion.
[1:23:43] But but. Whatever does make a difference,
[1:23:44] yeah. I think they're around there.
[1:23:46] Arsenal, it's very it's very tough to gauge Arsenal, but
[1:23:50] yeah, 5 is a. I moved them up.
[1:23:53] They had a good month. They had a good month.
[1:23:54] There's a couple results in there that leaves questions.
[1:23:56] And I just said you can't, you can't fuck with the big four.
[1:24:00] I would say yeah, my list. That's the thing.
[1:24:03] Like the big four in my list at least, are actually.
[1:24:05] Arsenal is my 4th. So I got so.
[1:24:08] Maybe. Arsenal's my 4th.
[1:24:09] Maybe my top three is just their levels actually, not levels.
[1:24:13] Third was kind of, I don't know. We'll get to it.
[1:24:16] I also had Arsenal F4I had Arsenal F4 last time.
[1:24:19] They had better results which pushed them up but soccer injury
[1:24:21] pushed them back down. They stay F4 me.
[1:24:23] Too Same exactly that's my reasoning.
[1:24:24] I have lever cues in F4, so that's part of my BIG4.
[1:24:27] That's fair, yeah. No, I see.
[1:24:28] Last week you were above us with lever cues, and now you're just.
[1:24:30] You just stay above us The. Glaze.
[1:24:31] It's just the glaze and the glaze.
[1:24:33] Dropped Arsenal. I had Arsenal third last time,
[1:24:35] but yeah. Another F4 for you got.
[1:24:36] Four for me, but during the. Month of winning in three
[1:24:39] drought, Millie's in nine games. They beat Man United.
[1:24:42] Let me check Arsenal's results. I have no issue.
[1:24:44] They beat Man United. They beat West Ham.
[1:24:46] Interesting. They beat West Ham.
[1:24:47] I was that sporting game. I'm not sure if that was part of
[1:24:50] our life, it'd be. West Ham.
[1:24:50] But when city beats West Ham, it.
[1:24:52] Doesn't mean well. No, it's it's West.
[1:24:54] Ham is city lost. They have the worst.
[1:24:56] Games above that one. OK.
[1:24:57] And then when Arsenal backs that, West Ham win with a Man
[1:25:00] United win, a Monaco win, 3 nil in CL, Crystal Palace win,
[1:25:04] Crystal Palace win again. If which win?
[1:25:06] Brentford win with three draws in there.
[1:25:08] Yeah, it's a good month. You make a good point there.
[1:25:11] You make a good point. It's a good.
[1:25:11] Month. They didn't lose all month.
[1:25:13] That's yeah, that's why but but Saka out is like I brought it's
[1:25:17] game changing. Yeah, this is this is season
[1:25:20] changing you saw. It against Brighton they were a
[1:25:22] bit but. But if Arsenal can just stay in
[1:25:25] it till Saka comes back. That's huge.
[1:25:28] Yeah, they could just do that. Stay in that, stay in that seven
[1:25:31] point gap and come back. Yes, well he might rush back and
[1:25:35] knowing our that you probably will rush back, but if you can
[1:25:37] stay within a six point gap in Premier League and stay in the
[1:25:40] CL until then, it could be a good season for Arsenal.
[1:25:44] I agree. Have we all set a #4?
[1:25:47] Yep. Moving on to #3?
[1:25:49] I'm gonna start it off with Madrid.
[1:25:51] I have Madrid also. Madrid is third as well.
[1:25:53] I. Don't get it?
[1:25:54] Bro you have. Athletico Madrid.
[1:25:58] My third is Athletico All. These amazing performances that
[1:26:01] Athletico Madrid, I meanwhile you just said they got destroyed
[1:26:03] by Barcelona. That was the only one that I
[1:26:05] said they did not play well. No, they look Madrid are are a
[1:26:09] team that it's like Napoli, like I understand play well, but they
[1:26:12] always seem to win when they don't play well.
[1:26:13] I. Understand that's why they're
[1:26:15] third, because they actually won.
[1:26:17] What do you talk Real Madrid when they don't play well but
[1:26:19] they win it's. That's why.
[1:26:20] It's harassment, but. No, because Athletico Madrid,
[1:26:23] the other games they've played, well, they have.
[1:26:26] I've did my research. They had 55% possession in every
[1:26:28] freaking game. And the Athletico Madrid have
[1:26:31] 55% possession every game, OK. That's not the the only start
[1:26:34] that I'm judging Athletico Madrid off of.
[1:26:36] I think Athletico Madrid has been playing way better, like in
[1:26:38] a in a one leg tie. I think Athletico Madrid has
[1:26:42] that solid defensive type of football that works against
[1:26:45] everyone. Real Madrid, it's a one off.
[1:26:48] We saw it against Atlanta. They didn't come off strong.
[1:26:50] They had a little bit of instances where they looked
[1:26:52] weak. Atlanta scored two goals, but
[1:26:54] Real Madrid ended up winning, Obviously, but.
[1:26:56] Can you have fixtures in Champions League Real?
[1:26:58] Madrid end up winning. Obviously in the theoretical
[1:27:00] world. Bro, I put Real Madrid over
[1:27:02] Barcelona, but I put Athletico Madrid over Real Madrid.
[1:27:05] Whatever. And I have a question for nobody
[1:27:08] sense K so this is a this is a top ten yeah take so you take
[1:27:11] out Athletico Madrid and Real Madrid, wherever they are now,
[1:27:14] you make them play every single other team in your top ten.
[1:27:17] Each of them I did out with more points.
[1:27:19] I. Didn't do head to head.
[1:27:20] I don't take that and take it just.
[1:27:22] No, I'm saying, but it's power rankings.
[1:27:23] Yeah, to me, I look at the form, I look at the fixtures they've
[1:27:26] had and I judge them off of that, but.
[1:27:28] Should that not? Should that not turn into I
[1:27:31] would beat more than I would beat more of these teams in a
[1:27:34] like if Athletico Madrid and Real Madrid played every other
[1:27:37] team in your top ten, who comes out with more points?
[1:27:39] The same teams? Yeah, all the other teams, they
[1:27:41] all, they all played Liverpool, they all played Inter, they all
[1:27:43] played. That's how I.
[1:27:43] Did my power ranks and my power ranks is just Athletico Madrid?
[1:27:47] What? Is power if you can't beat teams
[1:27:48] with a. What does that mean?
[1:27:50] Athletico Madrid just had a good month and performance wise they
[1:27:54] were very convincing every game. Like I, I think the highest I
[1:27:56] would put Athletico is probably like 5.
[1:27:59] But like, I don't think they were better.
[1:28:00] I don't think they they were better than Leverkusen.
[1:28:03] That's the beta, but I think Lever Q's in Athletico are yes
[1:28:06] bro no. You guys are underrating
[1:28:08] Simeone. It's not about underrating,
[1:28:10] you're just. Falling into that, the Simeone
[1:28:12] gimmick. I mean, he does it every year
[1:28:14] and and what he's in a title race right now in La Liga, he is
[1:28:17] in a title. Race he's because quality is
[1:28:19] severely diminished in the last. OK, so now we're using quality
[1:28:21] of league, well Liga. Is not a SO.
[1:28:23] Real Madrid doesn't play in the same league.
[1:28:25] I don't get it, no. But but it's there's a top three
[1:28:27] and then there's everyone else. Like everyone else is local.
[1:28:30] OK, but then why is it crazy to put that Lady over Real Madrid
[1:28:33] right now? Because Real Madrid, I've been,
[1:28:35] I don't know, I just think Real Madrid, you cannot compare
[1:28:38] Athletico to America. There's underlying power to
[1:28:39] having Bellingham, Bellingham, Vinicious and Bellingham.
[1:28:43] But we keep talking about it that and BAP is not clicking.
[1:28:46] Is this is not clicking vinicious?
[1:28:48] OK, so Bellingham, Bellingham has been good.
[1:28:52] It's more like if both teams are on form, then it's like, OK,
[1:28:55] then you look at either how they won or like the player quality,
[1:28:58] yes, so how they. Won Athletico won games
[1:29:01] convincingly. Every game.
[1:29:03] Every single game was convincingly.
[1:29:05] I'd have to see their form because I don't, I don't, OK.
[1:29:07] #2. #2 I have inter. I have inter, I don't.
[1:29:10] I don't think Inter's done enough for that number one.
[1:29:12] Break these out bro inter second.
[1:29:14] Listen, thing with Inter is that now it's like I feel like we
[1:29:17] we're finally getting hitting that echelon of where we're
[1:29:20] dominant now. You guys have no quality players
[1:29:24] bro. You're talking about Holland,
[1:29:25] Kevin de Bruin? What?
[1:29:27] The fuck are you talking? Bro this whole fucking argument
[1:29:31] defaults. My Kit Kat.
[1:29:33] Your whole argument, yeah, but at the beginning.
[1:29:35] So why is inter second? Because.
[1:29:36] At the beginning season, I didn't put into third or top two
[1:29:40] in my power rankings at the beginning of the season, don't
[1:29:44] ask me about anything because I know what you're trying to do,
[1:29:46] but I didn't but Man City was either one or two at the
[1:29:49] beginning of the season power ranking, but the.
[1:29:51] Player quality argument just went out of the window with
[1:29:53] Inter. They don't compete with Man City
[1:29:56] player quality. Of course La Tada is better than
[1:29:58] how La Tada is better now. This is where the problem comes.
[1:30:02] This is where the problem is. You compare a player that I know
[1:30:05] obviously has not been given to that form, Teram.
[1:30:09] Am I supposed to compare Teram to Holland?
[1:30:11] Oh my God, why would I do that? I'm just talking.
[1:30:13] About player quality, Your power rankings are player quality but.
[1:30:16] Holland is the best in the world.
[1:30:18] When you have one of the best teams in the world, I
[1:30:21] automatically consider you a top three team like.
[1:30:23] Chris Wood still but have. The best left foot in this one.
[1:30:26] They do best left wing back in the world.
[1:30:28] Already confirmed by you, by the way, best center back in the
[1:30:30] world, ambassador, one of the best center backs in the world.
[1:30:32] I was in top five, bro. Best.
[1:30:34] That's a lie right now that's a lie.
[1:30:36] You believe that? Yes, Bastonia is the top five.
[1:30:39] They're back. B SAC is becoming one of the
[1:30:41] best young talents inside. So if you pull up at, if you
[1:30:43] pull up at B. SAC I pull up with B SAC
[1:30:45] brothers I. Pull up with B SAC.
[1:30:46] I don't for tomorrow Garrett. I don't care.
[1:30:48] That's not a power ranking tomorrow destroy.
[1:30:50] I actually do not give a shit. You will.
[1:30:52] Get now you don't give a shit but about 5 minutes ago you said
[1:30:55] Oh my God when Neon beats inter yeah I better see Neon in the
[1:30:58] power I. Better see them 'cause your
[1:30:59] logic is flooded. No it's not.
[1:31:01] It is the. Quality.
[1:31:02] You cannot look at inter and. Say you're saying Inter's
[1:31:05] quality is better than Man Cities player for player.
[1:31:08] Just that's what you use for Kevin the beating.
[1:31:09] Lapso 6 nothing we're beating Atlanta 2 Nothing so 4 Nothing
[1:31:13] so. Performances now matter.
[1:31:14] Because we have the quality as well.
[1:31:16] What is the not the? Same quality as man, we're not.
[1:31:18] Atlanta, don't even go ever fucking compare us to Atlanta
[1:31:21] because we have the same colors, bro.
[1:31:23] We we have a team that's probably 10 times better than
[1:31:26] Atlanta. Don't even get me fucking
[1:31:28] started. I put you second.
[1:31:29] Don't even get me Ederson. So why are you?
[1:31:32] Complaining. I'm complaining because you're
[1:31:34] talking about player quality in your power rankings, but then
[1:31:37] you put enter second because it's.
[1:31:38] Manchester City. At the end of the day, it's
[1:31:40] Manchester. City.
[1:31:41] But why just put real? Madrid, Real Madrid is a top
[1:31:44] three, even if you're saying oh, it's scrappy when they shouldn't
[1:31:45] deserve to be third, but they still have a belling.
[1:31:48] We've been but. What about this?
[1:31:50] Yes, Why are you guys look, not you guys?
[1:31:52] Why are you looking at just player quality?
[1:31:54] But brother, when you have the. Galacticos, but sure, they're
[1:31:58] they're having good performances here and there, but.
[1:32:00] But intro I'm also looking at player quality as well.
[1:32:02] So why is Real Madrid not better than Inter in this power
[1:32:04] ranking? Because we're beating Team 6
[1:32:06] nothing and. Is undefeated in the past five
[1:32:08] games. Oh.
[1:32:08] My God bro, Oh my God. I don't know why.
[1:32:10] Am I being unreasonable I. I really don't understand.
[1:32:12] We have the player policy. It's a very brain rot
[1:32:15] conversation right now. It's not brain rot conversation,
[1:32:17] it's more just like you're, you're trying to bring up an
[1:32:19] argument that I brought before with Manchester City and apply
[1:32:22] it to Inter. They're two different teams.
[1:32:24] Inter is on form dominating, but that means I'm.
[1:32:27] Having a good. No, because the the player
[1:32:29] quality I. Agree, I agree with me.
[1:32:31] I'm trying to rage beta but the player.
[1:32:32] Quality is different between an Inter and a Man City.
[1:32:34] Come on, I'm not that delusional because obviously Manchester
[1:32:38] City have players worth a hundred. 100 million here, 100
[1:32:41] million there. OK, I'm not denying that.
[1:32:43] But why? Why did you put Man City in this
[1:32:46] power rankings then? Because of the player.
[1:32:47] Quality, because not only do they still have the player
[1:32:50] quality, which I like, obviously the the form that they had was
[1:32:53] abysmal, but I don't. Get it then?
[1:32:55] But you. Can't, you can't look at
[1:32:57] Manchester City and say that there's there.
[1:32:59] That team is not top ten quality and when they're winning, they
[1:33:01] don't deserve to be in the conversation.
[1:33:03] In the past month they have not been top ten quality.
[1:33:05] You're in your top ten rank. Yeah.
[1:33:07] You don't deserve like, you believe that they don't deserve
[1:33:09] it. That's not a problem.
[1:33:10] You don't deserve it. You believe that they don't
[1:33:12] deserve that conversation. That's fine.
[1:33:14] I respect your list, so I'm expecting you to respect my list
[1:33:17] when I see that they're on the cusp of getting back into form
[1:33:20] with the quality of the you guys, with the quality that they
[1:33:22] have. But in the past month they have
[1:33:25] not been good. But now they're getting back
[1:33:28] into. Form to the power.
[1:33:29] Welcome to the million firms, Paul No.
[1:33:31] I don't get it. I I, I it.
[1:33:33] Yeah, but I didn't move Inter. Listen, look, there's nothing
[1:33:35] else to. Win.
[1:33:36] Inter has. Inter has.
[1:33:38] Like, let's say Athletico Madrid, 'cause you put
[1:33:40] Athletico, yeah, very close. Inter has, I'd say clearly
[1:33:44] better player quality than Athletico Madrid.
[1:33:47] And a better resume. And a better resume over the and
[1:33:50] a better resume and the same level of form.
[1:33:54] Yeah, close to the same level of form, which clearly, clearly
[1:33:58] hopscotch, like clearly puts them above like Inter has in all
[1:34:02] the categories like past resume, current form and player quality.
[1:34:06] Inter is high on all those, like, yeah, I'd say like an 8 on
[1:34:09] 10. Yeah, whereas like ages are,
[1:34:11] whereas like Real Madrid have 10 on 10 in player quality.
[1:34:14] Yeah, maybe 7 on 10 in, in current form.
[1:34:16] And prior and prior proof is like 10 on 10.
[1:34:20] So like these are different things that we're using to push,
[1:34:23] to get like to push them into a power ranking.
[1:34:25] Like, I mean, that's consistent because I have Inter second
[1:34:29] above Atletico Madrid. Yes, that's fine.
[1:34:31] But we're not arguing about that.
[1:34:32] Yeah, we are. But I think what you're arguing
[1:34:34] is that inter with the player quality and what I'm saying
[1:34:36] about player quality before is two different arguments that's
[1:34:39] you're trying. You're saying that I'm
[1:34:40] contradicting. Values player quality more.
[1:34:42] That's why you put city on this list.
[1:34:43] Because even like OK, therefore then first two games, the last
[1:34:48] two games they've won with the player quality that they have,
[1:34:51] they are still on the on the level of the top teams in the
[1:34:55] world. So top three Man City lose next
[1:34:58] week, let's say. Yeah.
[1:34:59] How far do they drop off the power rankings?
[1:35:01] Well, the power rankings consists of five weeks.
[1:35:03] I'm not going to just take one game from next week and
[1:35:06] determine that of my power rankings.
[1:35:07] I'll look at the next five games or 10 games or whatever games
[1:35:10] they play in in a month. But if they have and.
[1:35:13] Then two wins the next 5 games. Are you still having Man City 7?
[1:35:16] Depends. Where everyone else goes,
[1:35:18] Napoli, if they drop out, if they, if they're second or third
[1:35:21] and set, what about their? Quality does Napoli have?
[1:35:24] I don't think you understand what I'm saying.
[1:35:25] If not believe drop out of the first place in city the second
[1:35:28] or third They're out of my top ten.
[1:35:29] That's an open spot. If, if whoever, I don't give a
[1:35:33] shit. About this anymore, Yeah.
[1:35:35] I'm not even, I'm not even a viewer.
[1:35:36] I'm not listening. Anymore.
[1:35:37] First of all, I don't. I'm gonna just be straight Buck
[1:35:39] with that. Don't.
[1:35:40] Don't say you don't give a shit. No.
[1:35:43] But we've been talking about it for 25.
[1:35:44] Minutes. I get it.
[1:35:45] I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[1:35:45] It's a conversation. Sorry.
[1:35:47] I apologize if that took too long, but intersecond Liverpool.
[1:35:51] 1st I'll I'll give in turn their flowers.
[1:35:53] Yeah, give them mugats. I have Juventus first.
[1:35:56] Yeah, I have Milan. 1st or rage beta?
[1:35:58] 10th bro. Yeah, that wasn't poor bro.
[1:36:00] That was like a that. Was like that.
[1:36:02] Was the dust of that was real Mary?
[1:36:05] Oh yeah, we all got Liverpool. We all got, yeah, we all got
[1:36:07] Liverpool. 1st We say the same things every month.
[1:36:09] Yeah, I mean we. Spoke about it they.
[1:36:11] Were they were very lucky to get a point off of Manchester United
[1:36:13] today so. Manchester United gets on the
[1:36:15] powering. So I mean, if we have a zero, I
[1:36:17] would put Manchester United because like they're right
[1:36:19] above, but it was a. Shitty attempt.
[1:36:22] I'm guessing everything They have a 0.
[1:36:26] But yeah, Liverpool, I mean, they have like 6-1 wins in
[1:36:29] there. They have five one wins getting.
[1:36:30] Tired of talking about Liverpool bro, there's so good.
[1:36:32] We do even our Patreon, we do our hot takes.
[1:36:35] It's like, everything is about Sala.
[1:36:36] Everything is about like. Yes, we get it bro, you guys are
[1:36:39] next. We.
[1:36:39] Get it bro? Yeah.
[1:36:40] The glaze is unreal, the power act like.
[1:36:42] You've been there before. Soon the power rankings will
[1:36:44] heat up because we're we're gonna like when once we get into
[1:36:47] the playoffs of Champions League and the knockout rounds, we're
[1:36:50] finally gonna be able to see power ranking teams play versus
[1:36:52] each other. Yeah, over 2 legs.
[1:36:54] What? Happens if a team like, let's
[1:36:55] say Athletico's third in La Liga at a point, but they're still in
[1:36:58] CL. They're in like ACL 70s now.
[1:36:59] Liverpool got knocked out in the round of 16, but they're still
[1:37:02] first. Yeah, this is a tough this is
[1:37:03] probably the toughest time for power rankings 'cause there's
[1:37:06] there's only been, we only have two or one game of CL Yeah, and
[1:37:09] the. German teams were on a break for
[1:37:10] the last few. Weeks I found this power
[1:37:11] rankings was the hardest plus. You have super, you have Pocal
[1:37:13] games, you have Super Cop games. It's tough.
[1:37:17] Anyway, Kate, we last last little thing before we end Milan
[1:37:19] Derby because this is coming out the same day as that game.
[1:37:22] So little little Milan Derby predictions for the Super Cup of
[1:37:24] Final 32 Nothing 70 enter. Bro Conse Sao has not had the
[1:37:30] time to coach his solid defensive structure.
[1:37:32] Yeah, that's gonna be. Very bad.
[1:37:34] It's going to be 4. Nothing.
[1:37:35] Yeah, I. Would say 2 nothing. 42 nothing,
[1:37:37] we're going to go 4 but. They're still in you managing
[1:37:39] bounce. Conse Sao with Porto, I remember
[1:37:41] in Champions League they kind of went head to head with, you
[1:37:44] know, and we. We cleaned them, yeah.
[1:37:46] I know we put. It in the philosophy.
[1:37:47] Yeah, but. Clean them both.
[1:37:49] Clean them and streak. Them.
[1:37:50] No, we go. We lost.
[1:37:51] That any last minute header I remember.
[1:37:53] No, but they didn't tie. No, but they were about to.
[1:37:56] They dominated. We're still had on goal
[1:37:58] difference anyways anyways. We'll see what happens I'll go
[1:38:02] do I rage bait I'll go 11 it's. Fine, but that's the.
[1:38:06] Extra time 11 extra time probably Inter wins.
[1:38:09] Milan wins it. Are you OK?
[1:38:11] Milan wins bro. I'm saying they're.
[1:38:13] Going to give a stupid prediction. 11 against Liverpool
[1:38:15] bro. You actually think I believe
[1:38:17] that one? One against Liverpool bro I I
[1:38:18] had prepared the live stream for 10.
[1:38:20] Nothing, Liverpool. That's on you bro.
[1:38:22] That's. I'm saying three, one major
[1:38:23] club, 3-1 I'll. Go 21 Milan then no problem. 21
[1:38:26] Milan. I guess I have two I don't.
[1:38:28] Know where's the goals? Morata.
[1:38:30] Leo might not play. That's the problem.
[1:38:32] Why Injured? He's injured.
[1:38:34] Oh, Pulisich. Turn might not play Pulisich
[1:38:36] Brace. Turn might not play Madam.
[1:38:37] Is not good. Never meet timber.
[1:38:41] He got me bro. Well, we went through a decent
[1:38:44] amount of topics. This was fun this.
[1:38:46] Was a good one, so I hope you guys enjoy, yeah.
[1:38:48] And if Man City, if you win one more game next month, you might
[1:38:51] shoot out the number one on my power rankings.
[1:38:56] Sounds like a. OK.
[1:38:59] Comment down below if you think these power rankings were
[1:39:02] accurate and I'll see you. We'll see you next time.
[1:39:04] I'll see you. We'll see.
