The Daily Merengue is a place where you can feel free to discuss all things football. Do not be alarmed by the overt RMCF bias. It’s in the name! Shoutout to the mods who do a fantastic job Kung_Fu_Zizou, Juninho, NeRObutBlanco, Felipejack, Ezek Ix and yours truly, Valyrian Steel.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ARDA?
Arda Guler has been playing very well but with the return of Jude and Cama looming over his head, and with Xabi already saying cama has a spot in the team and fits what he wants to do. Will Arda continue to enjoy starting
games? or will it be cut short and he be sent back to rotation?
BRAHIM’s HEAD ON THE GUILLOTINE
Brahim has struggled to make himself known on the right wing, after Rodrygo generously gave him that right wing for free, opting to compete on the left instead. It looks like Mastantouno’s growing performances might end up being competition to brahim for that RW and mastan might even end up ousting brahim from there altogether.
A FULL SQUAD
We’ve yet to see Xabi handle a fully healthy and available squad of players.
MBAPPE
MENNNHHHHHH I CAN’T SAY IT ENOUGH, EVERYTIME THIS GUY SCORES!! THERE’S JOY IN MY HEART. HAVEN’T FELT THAT WAY IN A WHILE ABOUT ANY OF OUR FORWARDS SINCE CRISTIANO. HE JUST HAS THAT TOUCH AND TECHNIQUE!
LOW BLOCKS VS LONG RANGE
Have we finally found a way to break low block teams? with long range shooters? or is it a temporary fix and we actually still need that brain in midfield that can thread passes through low block teams?
CARRERAS
Carreras has been a surprise for many of you. But i wasn’t surprised at all. Prior to him coming here, i hadn’t watched much of his game but i’ve seen this movie before to know that some of these transfers that everyone isn’t to awed about, usually turn out better than expected. The jury has already been out on Fran and Mendy, so no need to conclude again. The left back spot is now carreras spot to lose, and he’s secured himself very early in the season too. I’m assuming mendy will be the second choice LB once he’s back from injury.
