I am interested how everton play against us because it showed against city and West brom , if team sit deep and does not allow us to play counter attack, we are absolutely shit at creating any chances.

I cannot imagine what your opinion about world cup game

For Liverpool the reason is obvious, they don't have the financial power to purchase WC player whereas Arsenal has Wenger and we know Wenger likes to develop youngsters. If it works out you can look like a genius but if it doesn't you can look like wenger. A couple weeks ago, mourinho said wenger is a failure specialist for not winning any throphies in 6 years but if you want to develop youngsters you have to be patient and hopefully they will come through and if they do hopefully they will stay (nasri, fabregas, RVP ). Player development is more risky than buying ready made player, and if you want them to get better you Have to play them and hopefully they are good enough for your level or you are screwed. Let say we sell mikel and essien and have chalobah in our squad. Ramires is injured and we have to play chalobah as our starting pivot. We can only hope that he is good enough otherwise we can say goodbye to our chance to win important trophy.

Nah if he stays he is going to be our 3th option, basically he is not going to play except for league cup and special circumstances. For young player, playing time is important. I have never seen player improved dramatically while stuck on the bench

I still think robben has great chance to get to the ball if Arsenal gk did not tackle.

Bayern was a possesion based team

Nah it was too close to the goal,and he can scored. Got no problem with the red card

They were actually the "better" team, they didn't look like conceding and they had the better chances. But there is no controversy for me, it was red card any day and if you watch the replay in real time, it was a penalty.

But I still think barca at their peak is better. With Abidal, pique, puyol, n alves defensively they were actually pretty good.

Bayern will absolutely kill barca. Bayern is very similar to barca but with much2 better defence, much more physical, much taller and very flexible.

I don't think it was a penalty but we are talking about photo n replay. In real time it was 50:50

Should post it in Luiz thread

I don't think they sat back against us in fact they actually pressed us especially our front 3. I am not sure that works against barca. I haven't watch any barca game this season but last seqson most team that play barca either play narrow deep n counter or high press. Not sure city are that kind of team but who knows, Bayern was possesion based team but they play counter against barca.

Yap surprise with demichelis selection, probably because of his experience

Finally somebody realized that we were absolutely dreadful going forward, I don't remember we have any chance at all. We kept talking about missing JT and mikel and Luiz are awful but even when we won in Etihad, city had several good chances to score. The difference this time is they did score and we did absolutely nothing to even threatened their defense

I don't really care who will go through, I just want a good game

I am surprised we are just talking about defence, remember they also created a good number of chances when we beat them. The difference this game is that we were so bad Offensively

if he want to leaves and madrid bring 150m pounds, then i have no problem selling him

Mikel can actually run

Agree, we looks absolutely clueless, no space and too isolated. They also play Garcia this time, a proper dm

Jovetic is such a good squad player, a very good player that got injured a lot

I personally think it was because mourinho planned to play 433 and Willian is much better winger than Oscar but with demichelis there, we kinda switched back to 4231

I cannot find lukaku name

Just surprised with all the criticisms that Ramires received. For me he has been absolutely fantastic, he need to keep changing role from anchor while playing with lamp to back to box to box while playing with mikel. He provide us with that energy from midfield and his mobility provide us extra edge defensively. Just look at City without Fernandinho.

Somebody need to track kolarov who has been outstanding
