  1. Not really. Nothing to do with his attacking instincts here because United had possession all through the attack. Luiz stepped out from his CB position alongside Ivanovic to try and get to the ball. But once Rafael sidestepped him, Luiz is out of the equation and that has happened far too often. He may be the "Ball-Winning Centre Back" but against big teams, who attack in numbers, defending as a unit is important.
  2. Yeah. which is a shame really. If done with proper precautions i.e as long as it's not high up in the stands, there's no problem with terraces
  3. I can see why you feel old..You were alive when Russia was the Soviet Union
  4. He is moving. That is the only logical explanation for an adult to buy 200 euros worth boxes
  5. A terrace can house more fans but FA will never have balls to bring back terrace in England
  6. Lol. Lazy journalism and this weekend, Fiorentina all but messed up their chance to get into CL. Milan will get 3rd
  7. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/champions-league/10039870/Borussia-Dortmund-receive-more-than-half-a-million-applications-for-Champions-League-final-tickets.html Half a million Dortmund fans apply for 24k CL final tickets
  8. yeah. Azpi was great and the back four in general was solid for most of the game but even when having a good game, i feel Luiz is a ticking time bomb. Reduced drastically now but the odd mistakes are still there. By next season, he should be a beast
  9. Thanks for the mention but OPTB deserves it for some time now. Right winner
  10. A captain should be the one the rest of the players look up to. Luiz has got the passion for the role but he shouldn't rant at the referee - especially over something so trivial as a throw-in. The captain is the peace-maker between the team and the ref. It may have been the tipping point of a number of decisions but it was not a good example from Luiz. At this moment, I don't think anyone is a good fit to take over captaincy from the old guard but remember though, Luiz, Mata, Hazard, Azpilicueta etc have not been here long. Things could change in a year
  11. This Meme and Troll business are taking things too far. Few years ago, nobody would ridicule a player for fluffing a penalty but poor Sergio Ramos last year was the butt of a ridiculous number of jokes. The media will milk any small incident because for the first 75-80 mins the game was dead and this one incident is suddenly elevated to "big-controversy" status
  12. Fernandinho-Oscar would have been great
  13. Ha! Yeah. That was brilliant upper-body strength from Oscar given Anderson has grown fatter (if that's even possible) Do you think he will work in the pivot? Because he's not really a winger and Mata is our CAM
  14. Alex nominated Mufassir. He goes straight into the poll. His vote is worth 57 or something
  15. Luiz had a good game driving Chelsea from the back but he did have one bad moment with Rafael - not the corner flag incident everyone's talking about - but the moment when Rafael cut inside and Luiz went walk-about leaving Ivanovic alone in defence. thankfully, Rafael's cross was deflected behind. Ivanovic was pissed off at that point but that's one area where Luiz can work on - Positioning
  16. Will keep Bale in his pocket if Bale is on the left on Wednesday night. Top Player
  17. yeah. but expect him to start on the left channel and then drift as the game goes on. Keeps switching with Lennon as well.
  18. The font seems to have changed for me. A lot smaller now. Any way to increase the size?
  19. Azpilicueta and Ramires team up on the right side should be enough to contain Bale
