I don't tbh.

Shit... Watch Mascherano getting exposed at CB once again then.

But why do we need to control the game? It's Real that have to come at us. Although Busquets is better than Mascherano, the latter has to play in CDM. It's not as if we completely lose control then. Matic is not overrated, and definitely not "massively". Once he was taken off, PSG took even...

Can't imagine Enrique doing these sorts of experiments again. We won the game but our performance wasn't really impressive.

At least he played at DM in the second leg, where his headless running can be covered more often than not. But as a CB doing these things is beyond stupid which is a main reason why I think he shouldn't play there in big matches. Even against City he struggled and they're not exactly one of the...

I hope Busquets won't be fit for the Clasico... Because if he is then that means Mascherano moves back to CB and he's been exposed there countless of times in big matches, especially in Clasicos. Rather have Mathieu there. +1 Sorry but there a few players better than Mascherano (and maybe...

http://spielverlagerung.com/2014/11/21/the-problem-with-english-football/ Also a very good article that describes England's tactical deficites. A lot of it already has been described by DennyCrane but it's no doubt worth a read. It's an incredibly popular opinion in tactical discussions here in...

I still never claimed that they were aesthetic in any kind. And scoring more goals means outscoring for me. I was never denying that Barca was the better team. I think you just interpret my posts the wrong way. Btw for me Barca 08/09 was more beautiful than the 10/11 one. :p

Never said they were playing the most beautiful football or anything like that. Just that it's very hard to call it ugly or "not football anymore". If that's truly the case then there are only 1 or 2 teams in a year that actually play football. Btw he outscored Barcelona in the first season as...

I don't know how a Madrid team that scored 120 goals in a La Liga season can be considered as "ugly to watch". IMO the only difference between Simeone and Mourinho is indeed that Diego can take a loss while Mou can't. But both are trying to be as dirty as possible in big matches to disrupt the...

Comparing Ramos and Pique is different. Both are central defenders but actually very different in their way of playing. Both exceptional players, not really close to Thiago Silva level but still very good.

I'm counting on you, Diego.

Damn... Paris without Ibrahimovic will be very tough. They're stronger without him. At least Verratti's out, so that's good for us.

That's what I've been saying this whole time. Do it!!

If he was actually in 12/13 form then he'd be very very expensive. So you wouldn't buy him if he was, say 30M? Considering that there's a good enough chance he'll reach that level again (and be better) when playing with Messi, Neymar and Suarez. Fair enough. How much do you think they're worth...

Don't agree with them playing beautiful football either (anymore). They've become more pragmatic this season, trying to park the bus against Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City and Spurs really. But I learned that when your favorite team takes a defensive approach it's beautiful counter attacking...

He's very good, but it's mostly German people that regard him as the best.

Gündogan in 2012/13 was better than Verratti, Pogba or Koke are atm. So in that way, yeah he doesn't belong in that bracket. :p The way Dortmund are struggling atm doesn't do him justice really. He's obviously not an attacking player who can decide matches on his own, so it's clear he suffers a...

Yeah maybe, after Thiago Silva.

You know who is even more underrated? Gündogan. :p Btw how did Verratti become everyone's favorite player in just a month? Can't quite believe it but so many users here have him in their favorites list and I'm quite sure that one month ago he'd only make the list of a few ones.
