Absolutely yes! That is why we should have employed more rotation when Cesc was here, even though I realize full well that he did not suit our style too well. Now I think that we have a real dilemma. Who will be our midfield against Madrid? You can make the case for all of Rakitic, Iniesta...

Messi Xavi Neymar HM: Alves, who despite his mistakes, is our most involved player.

We must definitely use this against the really strong opponents. I was disappointed that Lucho did not adopt this against PSG.

Well, the other option is to start playing like Chelsea or Real Madrid. Which as long as we have Messi, Iniesta, Xavi (still a part of our team) and the rest, we are going to be playing a possession-based style of football. The entry of Suarez into the team will make our style much more...

It's the way teams play against us. They defend with everything they have. What is really crucial for us, is that we waste as few chances as possible so that first goal does not elude us for too long. I watch small teams playing against Real Madrid, or Chelsea or Juventus, and they are never...

Zlatan is as penalty-happy as CR7. 37 out of his 199 league goals (no ERD) were penos. That's an 18.6% rate.

Must be this season. All in all, CR7 has scored 276 league (both United and Madrid) of which 51 have been penalties. That's 18.5% Messi has scored 249 league goals, of which 32 have been penalties. That's 12.8%

Premier League defending is several notches above anything else in the world.

They are favourites to win the EPL, at best. 4th favorites for the CL, at best. They have not been as good as people make them out to be. Yes they are a well balanced team, and yes they have several options, but that's as far as their merits go.

It's his signature word.

As long as we win the league. I wouldn't mind so much.

Says it all.

If VV ever did something like that. Oh wait, he did a lot worse!

Yeah. I was exaggerating there. But still, my statement holds true. It is more likely for BVB to get relegated than to win the league.

14 people on this forum thought that BVB could win their league. It seems far more likely for them to get relegated.

Oh darn! Palace with a red card as well. That's deflating.

Let's hope Chelsea end up losing. I always want Mourinho to lose. ALWAYS!!!

The Levante CBs making room for Chicharito there.

I think Alexis has been doing really well for Arsenal up to now. I wonder why some people in England have been critical of him. Any Gooners here? In other news, Southampton are doing very well this season again. Already 3-0 up against Sunderland.

Oh yes! I forgot about his missed penalty against Ludogorets Razgrad.
