You think the defensive line of Bayern is the best individually? with the exception of Lahm ofcourse

Real Madrid have had the best squad for years, and top mangers took over and the results were really poor. If you take Bayern's squad and analyze them individually, I don't think they have the greatest individuals. they sure have some amongst the best but for sure not the majority of the starters. The system that he uses depends really on the team working together as a unit and constantly dominating the midfield are. Creativity is done through players moving without the ball. Ofcourse it helps when you have individual dribbling skills to spice it up but never the less it mainly focuses on team work. I don't disagree with you when you say it is boring cause that is every individual's taste. But I don't see their dominance is entirely because Dortmund dropped ( maybe partially). This system has always proven efficiency under Pepe and they have proven it this year against top European teams. Most likely he would dominate the EPL if he was managing a good club that can buy players ( not the best players but the ones that would fit his system). The only manager I have seen who can counter his strategy is Mourinho who has proved it with Chelsea, Barcelona and Madrid

Absolutely. I totally agree. Pepe's system is all about absolute dominance. The only one who had proven to exploit his system and properly counter is Mourinho. Two tactically brilliant coaches with entirely different systems. But you can also see how both require high work rate and ALOT of commitment from their players

Pepe is actually smart, regardless if the game is enjoyable or not (because that really depends on everyone's taste), his system is very strong and has proven it can get the club a lot of championships. I guess for a fan that is all what matters. It is a different matter for neutrals, they are interested in enjoying a competitive match. But for a Barca fan or a Bayern fan, it is a great system.

This is really strange to me. A young TALENTED player who was performed great in the first half season and dropped in form in the second half SO WHAT? It happens to the most mature players in the world. This is no excuse to THINK of selling him even for 40 mil. Man if managers would sell players for dropping in form , no player would remain in a club for a full season. Be patient he is still developing and with the World Cup he will definitely improve and get more experience.

MUCH BETTER

I think it is better to keep the current formation going. Schurrle's form is getting better. Maybe Willian should start instead of Ramires and keep the rest as they are. Team chemistry is best right now. Salah would make us a look like a man down if he starts. He doesn't have the team chemistry yet in my opinion.

Lol

Why are so lost? Bad passing, midfielders out of position and no body is supporting his teammate.

He is also reading his movements very well

He definitely should have scored there. Would have been a really good goal.

Go ahead buddy

He looked really happy and excited. I know it may not mean much to you since you come from the land of great Euzebio , but i think his teammates were giving him a strong moral boost cause as you know this is the first Egyptian to play for a top English team. Hopefully not the last

He played well considering this is a brand new team and players barely know each other. A good match for him but he could have done better.

He could have scored atleast one more.

Don't you just hate it when it is your turn to be the goalie? That's how I feel. Unless I am tired then I would be more than happy to take someone's turn too

Oliver Kahn would be my 2nd, Peter Schmeichel definitely my first

wow, now that is rare

Lol. Chill out dude. Drogba is a human not a religion

I agree mate, I have been watching the EPL since my math teacher told me about Eric Cantona's kung fu kick. I was 15 yrs old ( good old days). Till now I have been a fan of the EPL and have been following all of the teams. Not closely but you know what I mean. How competetive the league is changes alll of the time and quickly. There was a time when the spanish league had deportiva, valecncia competing closely with barca and real. There were times when Batsituta' Fiorentina was competing with Milan and Juve and Udinese. There was a time when man was competing with Blackburn and Newcastle. And It changes all of the time. Chelsea became a regularly competetive side when Roman took over. City when that sheikh took over and started pouring millions. Liverpool have been out since Ian Rush. Arsenal's golden days ended with Henry, Ljungberg and Pires and only starting coming back recently. It is all very subjective if you know what I mean mate

Mate with all due respect and I mean no offense at all, but based on this deduction/conclusion the English National team would be the GREATEST by far which is not the case. How competitive teams are in a league doesn't necessarily mean that the league is better. It depends on the style of play I think. The EPL is fast and most matches are played openly. You have to admit that in the tactical aspect the EPL is not the top league out there. The Italian league will come first. If you are talking about skill wise, then you will find ALOT in the Spanish league. After all the MLS has been very competitive same as the Ukrainian yet that doesn't really mean anything at all. They are more competitive than the EPL.

Dude you talk about La Liga like it is some amateur league. It has some really good sides in it. The EPL is stronger, but the gap is not that great like you seem to think.

The only thing I disagree with you here, if I may, is the point about Hazard. He is growing by the hour, but he is yet to show his consistency. But as far as talent I agree.

I expected that comment when city equalized....sorry mate

Not really below par. He is till young and has massive talent. Hey I remember, Ronaldinho having bad months during his prime, Drogba, Zidan, Brazilian Ronaldo, even Messi and Critsiano. I would understand people wanting to see more of him and they want to see him at his best all of the time. But whether we like it or not, he is only human
