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

Actually once I heard that we gave him only 2 years contract

It's true that a good 4-2-3-1 is meant to be mobile but I don't agree that Lampard is the answer. Gerard and bastian are playmakers, they are much more skillful and better passer compare to lamps. I'll take lampard over them anyday if I want a box to box player but for deep playmaking role, Gerard/Basti are much better. Lampard strength (beside his finishing) is on his off the ball movement and his energy. You cannot expect him to sit back and boss the game. AVB tried last year and it was a failure. He looked uncomfortable playing that role.

Romeu and mikel partnership does not work because both of them are dm it makes u look very static playing like that. And like everyone said, u cannot play lamp and ramires together. Both of them want to go forward all the time.

Not sure lamps is the player to complement ramires, frank game is about going forward and attack the box what we need is a player who will stay back and distribute the ball

I felt like today we played the game too fast. Mata,Hazard,Oscar were forced to play like wingers. It feels like the way I play FIFA,quick pass and lob through ball.

I don't think everybody see the biggest thing that benitez can bring to us if he can make torress play well. If torress start playing well, it means we can sell him and get falcao )

I will definitely support benitez, all I care right now is maintaining at least 4th spot in epl and win club world cup

Our situtation remnind me of Inter a couple years ago, they changed manager like 3-4 times before they stick andre stramacioni

I will make my judgement after city game. personally, I believe he is our interim coach before Pep take over next season
