This is exactly what FC Bayern needs. A tactically disciplined DEFENSIVE bulldozer, that has great overview and who's aggressive. Bayern has many creative forces but lacks a worker (like Joao) in midfield.
thanks for the great content! imo you're always quite critical in your analysis, which I like! but to gain a little perspective for myself, I would love to see an analysis of world class players in the 6 position... can anybody except for rodri do it anyway..? etc. thanks!
Been waiting on this one. One of my favourite players outside of the top clubs. Was great at Sporting. Would be a great replacement for Casemiro at United.
It's not great at all. If united sign him, they just repeat the cycle again. Buying player only for 1.5-2 good seasons then they have to find the replacement again.
United need a DM that is a ball progressor, which he is not, I'd recommend someone like Rongier at Marseille as a short term option, and perhaps keep developing Mainoo for a long term solution
@@gaffs82 bear in mind he relies more on his physicality. It won't be the same when he's already 30++. His technical level also not that good for the top teams. Players with high technique will last longer than those who rely on physicality.
I think he has the ability to do well at a big club, but would need to be deployed in a double pivot to exploit his ball winning skills while covering for his deficiencies in possession. That's probably what Bayern had in mind (playing him alongside Kimmich).
The Holy Trinity? Tifo, Pythag, thePurist? FootballMeta maybe makes it the fantastic 4? So guessing majority of those failed 37.44% attempted long passes were from his vertsies rather than dem horyz. Love how stats can be interpreted more or less accurately. Top class video as always, feels like DM season never mind crimbo season!
Hey bro, I've been watching you for over a year now and I appreciate the work you have been puting on reviewing the younger players, but can you maybe do some on the more experienced players maybe like a gundo,Thiago,veratti Just so we can know what to focus on more,other than that great content.have a good rest of your day😊
Need an Harvey Elliott video .. in his best form he is soo good offensively AND defensively .. please do it as a continuation with the curtis jones video
As a Fulham fan, he is the heart of our team, and even though offensively he may not be owning the stat sheets, but he puts a stamp on the game, I think defensively he is still better than Rice, but If I was a big market team, Rice would still be my choice, as he is just better at almost everything offensively, albeit Palhinha still is a phenomenal player
Man City are looking for this profile of a player to replace Phillips. Aggresive in the transitions, wins alot of duels, loves defending, good mentality, seems well respected, I'd be amazed if he isn't already lined up for a City transfer.
the problem is he spent to much time in sporting hes only just been in England. and he defensive awareness and energy is what makes him wanted by big clubs your Annalise is about him in a shit club in my opinion his only getting better i want to see him in a mega club and then we see if he is up there with the rice and rodri 😂😂 i think his going to surprise u.
Interesting that you talk about a double pivot of Kimmich and Rice… Im secretly hoping for Arsenal to move for Kimmich and try him as an inverted right back
Thing is, he's a 30-40m player, just like Caicedo is a 60-80m player. The current market means you have to pay 50% over the odds for certain players, especially ones proven in the PL.
@@PythagorasinBoots yep, and LFC clearly only wanted to spend at value with the summer deals. Even Dom could be considered on price given his position and age. Merry Christmas dude.
Could you do brahim next? He's one of the most underrated players, playing in a club with expensive big name players makes people rate him lower than he is
They tried to sign him for less 2 days before Transfer window tho Not great for any player to go to a different country pass the medicals and then return to your old club I hope they sign him in January
Bro, love your analysis, just had a query, is the tactical card in the tactical report the current stage of a player or an ideal stage he can reach prior to the max stage
The predicted end career ratings. Minimum, Max and what we think by the end of their career they will get. No point doing current as the video will lose value with time.
On front foot defending yes.But on defending negative transitions and defending runners at him wieffer needs lot of work.His reading of game inside his own box isn't as good as that of in oppositions half
You compare Palhinha to Rodri all the time, but Rodri's top in this 'ancient' No 6 position. Main point I have, though, is I think this position is in the process of being phased out in many teams and replaced with a more mobile/eclectic/progressive player in this position such as what Klopp is trying to do at Liverpool with Mac Allister. Long term, Mac Allister could win a lot more points for Liverpool than Fabinho did. Palhinhasaurus, in other words. Great in their day, kind of danger of becoming extinct.
Rodri isn’t really a pure single pivot anymore as Stones was used alongside him. Having said that having that in your locker is always a great benefit to have. Many Liverpool fans I spoken to don’t like Mac in that role and think he struggles to protect the back 4 adequately. He doesn’t look a natural in that role.
@@PythagorasinBoots Well I'm a Liverpool fan and I like Mac in that role as it is more aggressive/progresisve. With Mac in that role protecting Liverpool's so-called weak defence, Liverpool have conceded with Arsenal the joint least goals in the league. And Liverpool are 2nd in the league. They would be top if their forwards had scored against United last weekend. That's because Mac keeps the ball away from our goal. Mac might not look a natural in that role because he is adapting to it more and crucially in a new team. So of course he doesn't look perfectly comfortable! But it's working! Liverpool are 2nd in the league and have conceded 5 less than Man City who have Rodri. That suggests Rodri (and Stones) are not protecting City's back 4, rather than Mac Allister and Trent are not protecting Liverpool's back 4.
I think it is similar to the developpment on the goalkeeping position. In order to squeeze out the next advantage in world football, I think one should not go for a destroyer anymore but for a quarterback-destroyer or however you want to call it. The central/defensive midfield position is so important or could be, if you have the right players: screeing the backline and initiating the attacks. As for MacAllister: he is not quick enough. Tchouameni would have been great in this position.
@@FuerstMykisch I agree with the first part of that, that these positions are changing. Not sure if it matters so much about Mac's lack of speed and not sure about Tchouameni either. But I think the whole point here is what I originally was talking about - that the Palhinha tank-like kind of player is no longer a fit for an elite side such as Liverpool going forward. Worth saying because so many people were saying we should buy him pre-season, but that's just not the way we are progressing forward. Pythagoras highlighted his limitaions too in this regard in the video. Palhinha's's a great tank, yes, but we've moved on. And I would prefer Mac Allister than Palhinha in Liverpool's 6 position, and our position in the league and defensive record justifies Mac Allister in the 6.
That’s one of the reasons why I don’t Liverpool signing him. The way the elite sides what from the DM is not where I see in Paulinha. He’s doesn’t screen like Fabinho does nor is he a conductor like Macca. He’s for the here and now although prior to him going to Fulham, he hasn’t played a lot of footy for his age so burnout might be far fetched. I like him but he’s not a game changing signing like Rice, Rodri or Fabinho
They are desperate for any kind of defensive resistance in that midfield. It gets bad sometimes when its just kimmich as a 6 or kimmich as the first and/or deepest midfielder.
This is exactly what FC Bayern needs. A tactically disciplined DEFENSIVE bulldozer, that has great overview and who's aggressive. Bayern has many creative forces but lacks a worker (like Joao) in midfield.
Palhinha was the best tackling DM last season, Better than Rice was.
But because he is not english they won't acknowledge that....
He was the most tackling DM, not the best tackling DM. Huge difference.
@@JuppG9490 He won the most ground duels last season and season before
Pavlovic next?
Great work! Some suggestions for future videos: Scalvini, André (Fluminense), Wieffer, Onana (Everton), Kubo and more goalkeepers in general
All on our list to do.

😂😂 u mean that overhype defender
@@lateeftaye9389 No the best defender in prem
So van dijk play Golf😂😂
You dont have to like football but you will definitely wanna watch his video for the intro😅😊
I do think that if Pal went to a big club, he would be much more defensive, and would consistently be a starting XI player in any club in the world
@@RayWelpott joined bayern now
Been waiting on this one. One of my favourite players outside of the top clubs. Was great at Sporting. Would be a great replacement for Casemiro at United.
He’s not who I’d choose to partner Mainoo. He’s a short term solution and Man Utd transfer strategy should definitely be moving away from that

@@Haiuloiuy bear in mind, he’s played less than 300 career games. Casemiro at 530. Amrabat is a similar age and Palhinia has a lot more going for him.
@@gaffs82 bear in mind he relies more on his physicality. It won't be the same when he's already 30++. His technical level also not that good for the top teams. Players with high technique will last longer than those who rely on physicality.

here after fabrizio have given the Here we go for Palhinha to bayern
Need a garnacho, barghdi, solanke, mainoo video
Is he in the top 5 CDMs in the prem ?
yes, easily
I’d say so.

What do you think of a Kimmich & Wieffer pivot? I personally perceive Wieffer as a similar player to Declan Rice

I’ll delve into Wieffer next year
