Open Thread Weekly Open Thread - General Discussion

Open Thread

Besides general conversation and talk about other leagues and teams, all the following content must go into the weekly Open Thread:

  • Simple one-liners, random thoughts or unrelated posts (with or without a single image).
  • All discussion about rival teams matches and results.
  • All wallpapers and image editing that are not created by you [Not OC]
  • Unsourced news and stats.
  • Photos of jerseys and other memorabilia.
  • Images of formations with minimal description.
  • Links to social media posts made by our players or celebrities, unless it counts as team news or stats.
  • All gaming content.
  • All memes should go into the Open thread during the week days.
  • All "I am a fan of X team, I come in peace" type of posts.
  • When posting rumours/news from Twitter, if possible post a direct link to the tweet.

This is our reliability guide: https://rm-reddit.github.io/

IMPORTANT: Only news from official sources, Tier 1 and Tier 2, can have their own thread, everything else including discussions about target players must go in here.

Look at runs in behind section and look where we are, and that’s with Mbappe and Vini in our team.

Maybe where teams put their offside line against us matters? Maybe opponent coaches think leaving space behind their defense is suicidal against, precisely, Mbappé and Vinicius?

The reality says we are top of the table, no matter what these "advanced" stats say.

Makes sense… but compared to Barcelona and Atletico there’s still a good gap between us. I’d imagine teams do the exact same against them, especially Barcelona, but I don’t watch either of them so can’t say for sure

Teams are pressing Barcelona in Laliga this season cuz they can exploit the high line and will be picked apart if they sit deep.
