The burden of proof lies on you. It mustn't be 'common knowledge' when the sources you provide don't even mention it. I think you are full of nonsense and can't handle the fact you've been called out on something you've pulled out of your arse. I'll be waiting for the post when you actually back up your claims.

Dictating the temp of a match isn't something I'd ever attribute to Juan Mata.

There are no quotes or direct sources in that article that back up your claim. The only direct quote is that 'I will never play for Athletic de Bilbao'. There is nothing that states the reason Illarramendi left because 'he just needed to feel loved, he suffered with a lack of confidence at RM'.

Give me a source then. LOL

What a stupid thing to say. Just because one person 'liked' it doesn't mean action won't be taken. In fact action was taken, I warned Melancius for it.

In the future could you report posts that you feel break the rules so they can be dealt with in a more timely fashion? The staff can't be everywhere and things slip through every now and then. Thanks.

He was referring to the local team he plays for.

Literally never heard of him. He has 2 caps for Italy though. I wouldn't trust Palermo's president with a fiver.

Illaarramendi isn't those players, to compare them is incredibly asinine. Each player is exclusive to each other's experience at Real Madrid Do you have direct quotes from Asier Illarramendi to back this claim up? If not I don't believe it to be true.

Heh, 'secret footballer'. How convenient. I feel shame for giving this article a view. What a joke of a journalistic piece. A twelve-year-old from Nicaragua could have written that.

Oh boy, people really do swallow what the media shovels into the feeding through. I never read football 'news'; poor sources, indirect quotes, sensationalism, bias, convenient half-truths, and 'opinion' pieces. The football media and punditry is truly the bottom-of-the-barrel tripe that is hocked out to the lowest common denominator for page views and sales. What I do like is watching pundits like Gary Neville discuss the actual games, non of the 'backroom' nonsense. I don't care about the backroom, I care about the game.

I'm not one to post formations often but something needs to change. Personally I believe two players need to be a license to do whatever they want, freedom of defending and structure. Hazard and Fabregas would be my two. Perhaps the freedom will ease the burden of pressure and allow them to approach the game in the manner they want to. Perhaps something like this? It isn't that different from the 4-2-3-1 formation really... Hazard - A Not Shit Striker - Wilian Fibreglass Mikel - Matic

It changed. Sometimes a 4-4-2 diamond, sometimes a 4-3-3. Drogba - Anelka Lampard Malouda - J.Cole Ballack Cole - Terry - Alex - Ivan Cech Malouda - Drogba - Kalou Ballack - Lampard - Essien Cole - Terry - Alex - Ivan Cech If I may be so bold, it wasn't a really good team. Drogba, Malouda, Terry, A.Cole, Lampard, Anelka and Ivan had ridiculously good seasons. To the point of over-performing. Carlo Ancelletti relied on individual brilliance from the players so much. He is a man motivator, when the players are playing well, he will get 200% out of them but when things go bad don't expect tactical masterclass.

Eh, it is just semantics. I think of Hazard as a forward, I think of Zidane as a MF. No biggie, it is just all different views of the same ocaen.

I'd say that Hazard has a lot more emphasis on attacking and scoring goals than Zidane ever did. Hell, Fabregas and Iniesta have played those positions but you wouldn't exactly call them forwards, would you? I'd be a lot more comfortable playing Zidane as a CM than Hazard, I'll tell you what.

I'm sure it's not 99%. It isn't like this guy is some incredibly famous footballer too.

Will he also reach Maldini's level? What about Buffon's?

Zidane was a midfielder and Hazard is a forward. SMH

Because it is something that many humans involve themselves in. Footballers are no different.

That doesn't take much. Haha.

I think he is completely useless from the bench. A figurative sponge that absorbs minutes that could be given to future hopefuls.

For fucks sake; this has annoyed me.

If you honestly believe that than I am shocked.

This is a lot like Schrodinger's Cat. Except the observant already knows that the cat is dead because if otherwise, Schrodinger would have mentioned it by now.
