Pls guys. As if Pep would play Lahm at RB. Obviously Alves is the one and only choice there. :coffee: They didn't really have much of a choice in terms of starting lineup. And still Bayern edged possession, although narrowly. I don't know if I can call that "parking the bus". Did Dortmund park...

Tbf I'd be inclined to give Rodgers another season. Finishing 5th isn't the worst thing you can do, especially with Sturridge missing more than half of the season and Balotelli constantly underperforming. It's probably where I expected them to be, last season they simply overperformed and had...

:lol: @ people thinking Guardiola might park the bus. He has never done that and never will. Most probably confuse "parking the bus" with being more cautious.

Defending depends on the tactical part (positioning, anticipation, decision making etc) and the technical (tackles, headers etc). I highly doubt defenders were better on the tactical part. Maybe on the technical part but even of that I'm not entirely sure. Why should they've been better before...

1. Sack Rodgers 2. Get Klopp 3. ??? 4. PROFIT

Probably can join Madrid in the Summer but can't be registered, provided there's no delay in the ban? RM and Atletico will appeal anyway. The ban will be suspended for Real while for Atletico it'll be delayed just like it was for Barca.

This. Had similar thoughts when watching a full match of the 2006 World Cup and that wasn't even 10 years ago. Football evolves fast. Also it makes comparisons between different generations of players pretty much pointless because the sport was so different. Football in the 80s would make David...

Best thing about the shootout was Judas missing for sure. :worthy:

:lol::lol::lol:

Look at the Appreciation thread for proof. Pretty clear imo.

Yeah it's Hamad.

Bayern even worse than Leverkusen. Lifetime achievement unlocked.

looooool

Ilkay!

Will Pep finally lose a shootout?!

It was Hamad anyway. :coffee:

While we are not. Says everything about this club. I'd rather trust scouts of other clubs than our own.

IIRC there were talks about a Thiago Silva vs Thiago Alcuntara trade in ~2011. In hindsight, a bad decision not to do that.

:worthy: Jose is absolutely right. Chelsea manager Mourinho said: "I think boring is 10 years without a title - that's boring. If you support a club and you wait, wait, wait for so many years without a Premier League title, then that's boring." "Maybe Arsenal's fans were not singing to us...

Azpilicueta would be a truly amazing signing. He's actually good defensively and would balance Alba's attacking runs on the other side quite well. Too bad he won't leave Chelsea. Other than that there's no one exceptional available really. Danilo is long gone unfortunately.
