Whoever said Schweini is best CM... Yeah he is good on paper, but he is static, unmotivated, lacks energy,...I dunno..there is just no dynamic in him... Pep destroyed Bayern machine IMO. On other hand, Real realy is good. They can score from anywhere. Our defense if we make it to final, will have to be super good. They know how to score from free kicks/corners and from distance. They are fast and efficient. Would prefer Bayern who are slower team and realy clueless when someone puts defensive formation agaisnt them.

Another very underrated talent is Kevin Kampl who had brilliant season with Salzburg...he is quite unknown, but will probably transfer to bigger team in germany with BVB and Bayer Leverkusen being linked. He was also linked with Lpool and turkish clubs. Yeah he is from Slovenia like me, thats also reason for mentioning, but kid is realy good CAM, already with 12 goals and 23 assists in Buli and Europa league combined. Looks little, but is actualy much stronger and his ball control is amazing. We will never be linked with him, but Im sure he would fit here just like Salah did.

He realy is inconsistent...scoring unbelevable and missing imoossible...very good player though, but I dont think he is up there with best. He plays for team with best attack, that explains why so many goals and assists. He creates on his own too though. But in Real, he has Ronaldo who is main goalscorer, and Real has Ronaldo who keeps them winning. Here, Benzema would be main striker and only one who would be scoring regulary (IF). Hazard isnt typical scoring winger, he did that in year when we have no real strikers at all. How will Benzema turn here then? But he will probably do a 'Higuain' if he gets here. Good, but not world class. Considering how we play, I still think Costa is more suitable. If both are available and we go all out with sales of every striker we have atm (Torres, Lukaku, ba, etoo), Costa and Benzema would probably be possible. 65mio for both. Mou would probably do that aswell. We have no firepower at all. And Mou knows how important is that.

I just read the article about Giggs and his father, father said that you cant trust Ryan, father mentioned that Ryan fucked his brothers wife for 8 years. Why I mention this is because its old story, saying what cunt Ryan is and all...yet no ever says anything about it. Terry slept with friends ex and everyone still knows that. English media realy is fucked up because they clearly are on Giggs side, trying to hide all, but keep mentioning Terry as cunt for that scandal. And what is more funny, I read comments on article, same people who despise Mou or Terry (not necessary ManU fans, but in general) said that Giggs is profesional, good guy, should stay as coach, etc...while blasting Terry (for that scandal) or Mou (for apparently being big ego maniac) in every other post. Excuse me, but people (at least some) realy have become stupid as fuck, cant even think with their own head anymore. Keep the same criteria for everyone who you judge. If he is your team player or your rival' team player, in this case both are cunts, but people seem to forget that in giggs case every time, well acoriding to them because he is nice guy. :/ Imo both are cunts, but Giggs is much bigger one. Fucking his brothers wife for 8 years...seriously what kind of person does that?!? ---- Anyway Im glad Terry is back and plays tomorrow.

If we reach finals, I realy think it doesnt matter who we get. Real is deadly on counter, but their defense isnt best and the pressure will be on their side big time; CL final itself, being favourites, wanting 10th trophy etc... On other side, Bayern has better defense, but they realy need lot of time and chances to score. Last year bayern, I would be afraid, but this year, we have chances if we face them. They have changed system; now they are more exposed in defense and less efficient in attack. Similar to barca, except they are stronger side, considering size of players. In theory, I fear Real more because they realy can punish you on good day. They can score from distance (Bale; Ronaldo), they are fast and still have good defenders. But their concentration realy is bad. They can put brilliant match and week later bad one. Bayern hasnt convinced me yet, they were better last year. However, if they go more direct football (like against ManU after conceding), they are still very strong. All in all, both teams will keep the ball and attack more. If we manage to not concede, we can frustrate them and punish them on counter. If they score early goal or so, we will need to attack and they could destroy us on counter. But lets wait, we need to win tomorrow first. Believe!

I think we will have to score 2 goals to advance. If they score first, it will be difficult to put two as they will go full defense. If we score first, we shouldnt close because they might equalize in last minutes. A 2:1 is good for us. But if we score in 6th minute or so and then defend for rest of the match, prepare for heart attacks considering Atleti might score one and they go thorugh.

Brilliant game, Im wondering why he played so little in 2014...he still has it and I would happily keep him for next season backup.

Terry, Iva, Cahill, Zouma, Kalas, Luiz...we are stacked with CBs for next few years

I said that Lpool attack was shit too. I dont think Mou was lucky today. He gave great tactical approach IMO. But first goal we scored was lucky. And that first goal was very imporant for rest of the game. If you score goal like our second, that wasnt lucky. But first one was. As I said our win depended on few things; brilliant defending, liverpool making mistakes, their attack was shit, and luck in our first goal. All combined, the result is there. But you obiously dont see what lucky actualy means. Our defending had nothing to do with luck. Our first goal had everything to do with luck. First goal had nothing with our tactical approach or Mou masterclass tactics. Dont throw all in one basket. If you score a counter goal the way Real did few seasons ago under Mou vs Ajax in CL; that is world class counter attack, that is world class tactical approach with killing opponent in one move. When you score a goal like we did today (Ba), that has nothing to do with some amazing attacking. Gerrard lost the ball when he slipped, Ba was near and he had clear way to Lpool goal. That was quite lucky. Obviously he had to put that ball behind the net, but in such big and important game, the reason Ba appeared infront of goal was because of BIG luck and big mistake by Gerrard. Now leave it as it is, its pointless to argue anyway.

Be at least bit objective. If FA, scousers and all other fuckers cant be, dont go on their level. We played the way we did, but our goals were lucky as hell. First one even more. Yeah, its almost impossible to score against defensive team, but Liverpool opened their legs wide as possible. And yet we fucked up every attack we had. Im not bitching, I actualy dont give fuck right now as we have just won 2:0 on Anfield. But still our attack is poor. Our passing is dreadfull and we dont link enough. We fielded b team and even a team lacks 2/3 players who should be bought next year. However, there was situation with Ba who had CB infront of him, but Willian on right for like 30 seconds. He waited 25 seconds, stopped the whole attack and then tried to pass to Willian, but that ball never reached him anyway... Today we won because of brilliant defense and Lpoops mistakes, not because we made good attacking play. There was no attacking play at all. That doesnt mean we didnt deserve or anything. I dont even care how we played, considering circumstances, we were amazing, proving everyone wrong again. But next season, our attack will have to improve and Im sure it will. Today game just showed that we couldnt do much in attack even against wide open Lpool. Their mistakes saved our ass. As our defense stopped shitty Lpool attack today.

Mourinho should be now called Mr. Pragmatic. He doesnt give a single fuck about Fa, Lpool, refs, and other fucks, he will do whatever takes his team to win. Once again he slapped those english cunts right in the face and they cant do shit. Its only matter of time before FA punishes Mou and Chelsea for ''incorect tactical approach in game'' We will still win in the end. Seriously, I have feeling whole england is against now and after this performance when we closed down again and we won again, they will be more furious than ever. On other note, our attack realy is bad. First goal came from Gerrard mistake and second was impossible to miss. But other than that, we realy have no idea what are we doing in attack, Ba's passes never reach goal, Schurrle, Willian, Salah try to dribble too much and lose the ball....Something we need to adress next season. But right now, I dont give single fuck, we won at Anfield :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Who is world class then? Defenders should be judged as defenders. Not some players who can do all kind of fancy stuff. Ramos, Pique arent even proper defenders yet they are marked as world class. Cahill is kind of no-nonsense CB who gets his job done. Its no coincidence we have one of best defenses in the world, who stopped Suarez, Ibra, Cavani,...from scoring. Yeah, we made silly mistake here and there (name a CB who never makes mistake), but looking on the season in full, we were realy good and consistent in defense. Thats why Cahill and Terry should be marked as world class CBs.

Another problem is that academy plays completely diferent style of football than senior team. Different philosophy etc. One reason why Barca or Ajax academies are great is because youth and senior players play in same system and style.

What a beast. It doesnt mata if we dont ''need'' him, if he will be leaving BVb this year, we should put bid for him. Then we could realy put Hazard-Reus-Willian, Reus-Hazard-Willian, Hazard-Willian/Oscar-Reus,...Throw Salah and Schurrle into mix. Striker (50m max), LB (20m max), CM (40m max) and Reus (40m max) would be perfect. Sales from Mata in january, Mikel(10m), Lukaku?(20m), Marin(5m), Moses(5m), Romeu(5m), Bertrand(5m), Luiz?(30m), Torres(10m), Ba(10m),...would generate from 50-100m of profit. That would be some unbelievable summer bussines.

If we sell Mikel, I would love to see Idrissa Gueye here. Such a beast, from Lille, generaly we always do well with french players (Azpi, Hazard, Drogba, Essien,...), I think we should look at that league more closely. Gueye could become Matudi in next few years or even better. Wont cost too much and would fill the void left by Mikel Matic, Ramires, Marco, Gueye, CM (Rakitic, Pjanic,...) + Luiz would be great. Baker to go on loan. Eventualy RLC replacing Ramires.

Most improved defender of the season, doesnt get enough credit, he is amazing. Its bit subjective, but top 3 CBs this year IMO (likes of Ramos, Pique, Hummels can hide). Silva, Benatia and Cahill are my faw CBs this season, Godin/Miranda, Pepe and Terry should get mention too.

I wouldnt sell him unless we get Vidal/Pogba/Witsel who are better version of Ramires.

He will wear #10 next season, thats for sure now. He wants it and if he asks for it, he will definately get it. He is our most important player and poster boy too, no one could get #10 ahead of him.

Thats who I meant yes Whenever I watched Sandro (only in CL and EL), he realy impressed me. Great on the ball, tracks and marks well, no-nonsence LB. And gets involved in attack lot, his crosses are good. He always makes that block on his side, preventing opponent to cross, I was realy amazed how good he is. But move to PL is still risky. He does remind me on young Cole though.

Baker shows we have amazing academy but bad first team integration... As much as I hope to see RLC-Baker at some point, I dont expect it. The board, owner, expectations, coach, playing style, history tells there wont be much chance for the likes like Baker, RLC, Feruz,... I hope he makes it though

Simply correct decision. BUT why FA did nothing last year when Yaya punched and kicked Mata? FA are bunch of twats IMO.

Bale was able to switch wing, Im sure Reus would ba able to do it too.

All young players have ups and downs, not just here (Isco, Pogba, Reus,...have been average in certain period of games), so it is normal that Oscar, Schurrle, Hazard,...show inconsistency. But Willian is 25 and nearing his prime. He needs to step up and put consistantly good displays next season. His decision making for his age is quite average and has to improve.

The FFP is starting to piss me off. We seem to be only ones following it, while our transfer targets are moving to clubs who dont give two fucks about Ffp. I dont think we should spend like crazy, but if it takes to get Cavani or Vidal or whoever for little more money, Ffp shouldnt be the issue. Rather see we spend more money on 1/2 players who will bring exact quality and improvement we need than 5 who will still be expensive, but not give enough for price paid (Sadly, Willian is example in this case) Anyway if punishemnt for breaking Ffp is like "pay 100k and continue spending" it makes no point. Litteraly you pay money to be able to spend more money. Uefa making cuntish profit there.
