How GOOD is Joao Palhinha? ● Tactical Analysis | Skills (HD)

[@cruztube23]

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.

[@Kizzster]

Palhinha was the best tackling DM last season, Better than Rice was.

[@mingriskevicius8683]

But because he is not english they won't acknowledge that....

[@JuppG9490]

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.

[@uamhameirdhafkach8536]

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]

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.

[@christopherdawson1295]

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]

@@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.

[@Haiuloiuy]

@@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.

[@Combatwombat-sn7ng]

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).

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

[@kaihavertzchelsea2594]

Can Douglas Luiz play as a CDM in a double pivot in a team like bayern? or is he a #8?

[@tokyobear]

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.

[@PythagorasinBoots]

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.

[@tokyobear]

@@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.

[@FuerstMykisch]

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.

[@tokyobear]

​@@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.

[@ceciltak7520]

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
