You guys are hilarious. Keep your pants on.

Because he's not Cesc.

That's like your best post to date.

You're basing it on this season yet leave out Varane? Your argument would be he hasn't shown it as long as the others have over the years. But he has been playing since October/November, and he certainly played as much as Vidic has this season. So if the basis of your list is this season, I...

You don't rate him top 10 because you don't think he's a good defender, or because you don't like his personality/attitude? Don't get me wrong, you're free to your opinion, just clarify that part for me.

I'm for t as well, the less ref mistakes the better. Goal line tech has become necessary, too many goals are wrongly given or denied because the ref or the third assistant couldn't see. Like Flavia said, games should be decided by the players performance on the pitch, the managers' tactics and...

What does personal preference have to do with player rating? Busquets is among top 10 DMs but I don't like him, yet I don't deny his rightful recognition as one of the best. Likewise Pepe, you can hate him all you want but the fact of the matter is he's one of the best defenders today.

:lol: Who's the #27 coming to hump the #17?

Also imagine if your sports director had acquired him and Vertonghen when they had the chance. Now that would be scary.

Yes, Pepe. For all his mental problems and douchebaggery he is one of the best defenders around. Wouldn't say top 3 but definitely top 10.

The second legs are next week? Or some other date?

Yup. Only negative thing I noticed was his acceleration isn't as good as his pace would suggest. I know he has speed, but it looked like he needs some distance to reach top speeds unlike Alba. Was caught up by Alba numerous times when I thought he had it clear.

I vote for banning whoever said it. Preferably permanent.

He'll terrorize Ramos, I'm willing to bet on that. Worst kind of CF our defense can face. I'm thinking Terim will instruct him to target Ramos specifically as he sucks ass against physical forwards. Along with Yilmaz I'm afraid he'll be far more clinical than Ibra and Lavezzi and won't waste any...

His first few touches were weak, but gradually settled in. Should start in the second leg and bench old Becks.

Robinho was doing this in Brazil too. Wouldn't be surprised at all if Neymar becomes Robinho 2.0, especially as his career so far is very similar to Robinho's.

:lol:

That's obviously bullshit whoever said it.

Like I said before, Real did care about the title in the beginning. But when the deficit became too much very early, obviously the priorities were reset, and obviously the CL and Copa became more important. So as of this moment the league is not that relevant as first place is impossible.

Typical Roma. Defense is shit, midfield is overrun, old man Perrotta is nowhere to be seen. The usual pre-Aurelio Roma. And against the rock bottom club (who we've only beat once in their stadium since 07/08). Should at least test AA's dressing room influence and tactics adaptability. And oh...
