Your point doesn't make any sense. But I can't be bothered to explain it to you.

I've never denied the fact that Puyol and Mascherano were out, Messi was clearly unfit, and Tito was battling with cancer, with especially the latter being a tragedy. But what you essentially did was posting the lineup for the return leg, after Bayern had already decided the tie. What relevance...

Why only 3? All 4 shouldn't have counted. If you're wumming, you gotta go all the way ;)

I'd much rather celebrate with fellow fans that my team made it to the final. But that's just me. Whatever makes you happy, I guess :)

:lol: this forum is hilarious. Everybody is trying so hard. I know 2013 was painful for you. Every club has its share of painful memories. But this is getting silly. The tie was over after the first leg. Why would Barca risk Messi have another injury in what was already a dead rubber game?

You'll never know with Pep. Pep is so unpredictable with his formations, it wouldn't surprise me if we see Martinez as a striker, getting long balls as service, as we had seen in the game against Chelsea or Dortmund. In fact, it would be hilarious in our current situation. Very unlikely though.

Exactly. He's always been one of our most important players ever since he took that LB spot. However, now in his new role under Pep, Alaba is vital in so many aspects of our game, it's crazy. His injury also means that we're now pretty limited in our possible formations, whereas with him on the...

Yeah, parking the bus has now become a serious option for us I reckon. Not sure if it's the best recipe against Barca, though. Letting MSN do their thing around our box is a scary thought. If Lewandowski could play, that would be great, even if he was handicapped by a mask. I'd be be really...

The only ones who were out were Puyol and Mascherano. Messi was clearly unfit, I will give you that much. Everything else you claim is either factually wrong or backed up by ZERO evidence. I still remember those claims, and they turned out to be nothing more than rumours. I might as well claim...

I think Pep will seriously consider playing very defensively now against Barca. We won't park the the bus like Chelsea, but we simply don't have the players to play our normal system against Barca. It worked against Porto, but Barca is a different animal. Plus, we had to score two goals in the...

I'm pretty sure we'll field the following players: Neuer - Rafinha, Benatia, Boateng, Lahm - Xabi Alonso, Schweinsteiger, Thiago - Götze, Müller, Bernat It might be in a different formation, but I'm sure it will be those players. I'd be surprised if Weiser plays, let alone Martinez, who...

alright, that was fun. New strategy for our tie against Barca: park the bus and win the whole thing Chelsea style!

Poor attempt. 2/10.

By everybody's logic we must be at an incredible disadvantage because we apparently play in a weak league, in which we don't get tested at all. That would offset the purported advantage of having the league wrapped up that early. Thus, the conclusion you guys draw is flawed. There is a fine...

Correct. Edited my profile. ;) Like I've said, I haven't watched too much of Alba this season, except for the odd CL game. The same with Marcelo. From what I've read Marcelo has been class this season. Alaba hasn't played left back this season, but no he wouldn't bench Alaba as left back...

Depends on who they will bring in over the summer. Kramer is a huge loss for them. Stindl is a good addition, but won't fill the gap that Kramer leaves behind. Kruse might also leave, so they still need to bring in another striker. They should buy a more clinical striker regardless. Still they...

Don't know how good Alba has been this season, but Rodriguez has been ace, especially this season. Fantastic left foot, good link up play, great work rate, thunderous shot, dangerous going forward, and defensively sound. A very complete fullback. Together with Bernat, the best left back in the...

Outrageous claim. Care to provide any evidence? Agree. I'm not saying that Alaba is underrated, but I don't think that many people outside of Germany and Austria know how special this kid really is. You can virtually play him at any position on the field (except goalie of course) and he will...

I don't believe for a second that Paris or Chelsea are "much better" sides than Juventus. Juventus are very well-balanced from top to bottom. They have no glaring weaknesses and can get a result against any team. Yes, they might not be as dominant as the big three in Europe, but still shouldn't...

30 million is peanuts for United. He may not have regained his old form, but even at his current level he'll be a good addition for that midfield. I just don't know if Van Gaal will allow him to roam free, as van Gaal is known to love his players at their fixed positions.
