We had the best squad in epl when mourinho was here. The best cb partnership. Wc midfielder. Arjen robben was almost unplayable. And we have drogba Mancini won 3 straight titles with inter before mourinho.

I really hate when people use they have the best squad as the reason. Madrid won la liga last year with the best squad in la liga and he also won it here with the best squad does it mean that mourinho is overrated. City won it last year with the best squad does it make mancini overrated Manu had the best squad almost every year and does it make SAF overrated when he won epl.

Messi is a better comparison because of his build and playing style. If he can be 3/4 as good as messi now, I'll be more than happy

The one thing that I like from today was the fact that he did not try to take on players When he received the ball, he will just lay it off to our AM, that's what i want from torres

Nobody says we are going to play tiki taka and it's about playing more possession football. Arsenal should have won the league 2 years ago but wenger was so tight with his money. They just need one big signing and the should have won the league. Nah Real is not a possesion team, I saw one interview that one la liga manager even said that they want madrid to have more possession because they are not that good at it. Ronaldo is just a good player in possession team but in counter attacking team he is outstanding. A good example is Bayern,team with plenty of technical player and try to boss the game

Comparing carvalho to luiz is just crazy because they are totally two different players, carvalho is a crafty defender who prefer to play as cover and he complement terry game very well as terry prefer to play as stopper on the other hand luiz has tendency to be very rash in his challenge and he also prefer to play as a stopper

Lol please do the yes part I cannot find any reason other than we probably will better at set pieces

are you sure ? Because I remember that everybody is praising inter for good defensive game and mourinho for his tactical genius. and they were actually excellent against bayern and barca. T

TBH the criticism was not because we played defensively, Inter played ultra defensive against barca+bayern and the received plenty of praises. The criticism was because we were battered against barca and bayern. It is one thing to play ultra defensive, it's another thing to concede so many chances.

I don't think we try to replicate barca, it's all about getting the best of our players. We signed all these fantastic playmakers, we cannot player power football anymore. We need to play slightly more possesion football which oscar and mata thrive on. Does it make us play slightly like arsenal/Barca, yes it does but we have no option.

If modric/arteta can play in that position, i am pretty sure moutinho can play there also. It will make us slightly weaker defensively but let's see how he play in epl.

He is not an organizer which we need, I much prefer if we get somebody like moutinho to play as our tempo setter

I have just watched the goal,one player dropped deeper which luiz picked up the other exploited the space still it was jt fault, it's true that cole played him onside but jt also played him onside

I thought for quag goal, it was simply terry fault, he mistimed his offside trap and got burned

Good post, I really hope our players can learn from this experience. I personally don't really want us to wait for lampard and terry. It's time for our future star hazard,mata,oscar to step up and be our leader.

I think because the role that he played sometimes he escape criticism. For me he is just a decent player, good enough defensively to play as dm but not mobile enough to be great. He can pass a little bit but not good enough.

Arsenal have faced barca twice, I want to see something different. Barca vs porto can be interesting and BVB vs shaktar (this can be a very exciting game)

I have just checked how the group finished. It looks like madrid can only face either MU,PSG,Juve, Bayern or schakle I'd like to see MU vs madrid

Nope even in epl u cannot get fined as long as u field a decent squad

It's not easy to dribble past player in epl, the game is just more physical. I have no problem with hazard, I think everybody knows he will become very good

Shaktar need just a draw to finish 1st

It has nothing to do with honesty. It is in the best interest for both team to play for draw

I am not sure there is any team try to replicate Barca playing style except probably Roma last year. I think it's more about playing a winning+attacking style which is what barca is, what manchester is united and what city i and I think that is what our board want

I agree, from football stand point , he is better of at Madrid at the moment, the only reason he want to move to chelsea if he want more money

Terrible match, too much complaining to ref and play acting not enough good football
