The Rest Is Football
Valverde Dominates, Premier League Disappoints & Pep’s Odd Choices

I don't think he's underrated here.

particularly, but I get his point.

The Rest Is Football
Valverde Dominates, Premier League Disappoints & Pep’s Odd Choices

He's not a kind of household name.

The Rest Is Football
Valverde Dominates, Premier League Disappoints & Pep’s Odd Choices

You know, he's along the lines of Mbappe or Vinicius Junior, etc.

The Rest Is Football
Valverde Dominates, Premier League Disappoints & Pep’s Odd Choices

Yeah, Semenya, even though he plays up with him most of the time, I mean, obviously he's switched it a bit in the second half, but when he's playing up there with him, he also gets a lot of the ball, Semenya.

Valverde Dominates, Premier League Disappoints & Pep’s Odd Choices

He still does.

Valverde Dominates, Premier League Disappoints & Pep’s Odd Choices

Whereas you go, well, where's, you know, Haaland's not getting, he's probably not really accustomed to playing that way.

Valverde Dominates, Premier League Disappoints & Pep’s Odd Choices

I mean, I thought there was a lot of players on that pitch yesterday for City that were not necessarily accustomed to playing that way on a regular basis.

Valverde Dominates, Premier League Disappoints & Pep’s Odd Choices

We've already talked about the two fullbacks that play.

One's a midfield player, one's a central defender.

You know, you're talking about elsewhere on the pitch as well with Haaland.

Semenyo, I've not really seen him playing up front much.

The Rest Is Football
Valverde Dominates, Premier League Disappoints & Pep’s Odd Choices

Prior to this, he used to play wide left mostly, didn't he, for Bournemouth?

Valverde Dominates, Premier League Disappoints & Pep’s Odd Choices

Or he could play as a 10 or either side.

Valverde Dominates, Premier League Disappoints & Pep’s Odd Choices

But Semenya, when he's playing up there, he's getting a lot of the ball because he's a player that kind of likes to be in possession.

The Rest Is Football
Valverde Dominates, Premier League Disappoints & Pep’s Odd Choices

He's used to it.

Valverde Dominates, Premier League Disappoints & Pep’s Odd Choices

So Haaland's like, well, I'm not going to get a touch here.

The Rest Is Football
Valverde Dominates, Premier League Disappoints & Pep’s Odd Choices

Now, we're used to seeing him play in a way with three up top, aren't we?

The Rest Is Football
Valverde Dominates, Premier League Disappoints & Pep’s Odd Choices

Either side.

the supposed forwards, right side, left-sided forwards.
