Magic Lamps

Paulinho is so shit, even his highlight reel is pathetic. When Ramires finds his form again,he is heads and shoulders above Paulinho. The only Brazilian CM, I'd consider to sign is Hernanes, even though he will be 29 this month. Lamps is 10 years older than Paulinho, still has better stats. Even defensively. Lamps has more clearances, blocks more shots, intercepts more often and is less often dribbled past (and Lamps gets dribbled past a lot, cos he never tackles), Offensively lamps has less turnovers, more precis shots, more assists, more goals, and is harder to disposses, also he has more key passes and chances created. Why should we sign a player, who is so average, that even in his prime he brings less to the game, than a 36-year old, who does not even make the bench here regularly.

Good the idle wish of Bundesliga dominance in Europe is now were it belongs - dead and buried. German football will not win another international trophy until these wankers learn that money is not the most important thing in football - it's titles. German football is in exactly the state it has been in 2002. Bauern facing a period where there is literally no competition, all teams rolling over when facing them. Hence they will be led to believe it will suffice to keep the aging superstars like Robben, Ribery and sign some mediocre ones to compliment them. Which will surely suffice to win the Blindenliga more often than not , but they will not get anywhere near a CL semifinal in the next 10 years or so. Then they will see what their balanced corrupted money laundering accounts and 70% posession are worth. In 1 year, we will be so high above them, those bitter cunts will have to spent another decade in our shadow, and thanks to FFP there will be no petrodollars to moan about.

should have featured for us much higher, given that we often had to play iva or luiz at cb hence changing the backline completely, when he just could have come in. People say it is easy for a CB when his team defends with 10 men behind the ball, still he was on his own a few times. I have seldom seen such an athletic defender. He could easily be a decathlete. Not only his leap, but when Stirling ran at him, he had about 1 or 2 yards on Kalas, still Tomas was able to recover at to get first to the ball. Let alone Marvel Wynne, Kalas is one of the fastest CBs I have ever seen.

why would we need Khedira? Ok, it would be really great to have a 2nd useful DM. But he would only be backup to matic, cos honestly, he is not as good. In the days were FFP at least can mean a heavy fee, 20m is too much for a backup. I'd much rather have a competent partner for Matic. IMO it was a shame we didn't go for Cabaye, cos he is exactly the ink of player we need to have beside Matic ( he could also replace Mata at the freekicks ). On a different note, if our deal for Costa fails, why not sabotage BVB's Ciro Immobile deal? we can easily overbid them without even making a too great effort. The player, apart from his disadvanatgeous name is quick, strong and has a better technique than Costa. He is combative and clever. Maybe not the same killer instinct as the Spaniard but still decent enough. + he probably has a higher ceiling.

spot on. In that case, Costa would be the ideal signing, cos everyone here hated him before we got linked to him. Maybe he will find his form cos there is not so much sympathy, cos sympathy makes it easier to fail. Anyway. I noticed that in recent years we usually won trophies wearing some (in my opinion) rather ugly kits. The boring 2011/12 with that everyday blue and horizontal stripes, 2009/10 the mix between bra and armour, 2009 the FA cup in that horrible mustard-yellow, 2005 and 2006 we had those extremely loose fit umbro kits.

Turn off Fifa. Neither of them will change clubs in the summer. Bayern don't sell players in their prime anyway.

Rolls Reus is by far the best player in the Bundesliga. He can shoot, dribble, pass, finish everything. Best German AM I have seen since I watch football. i wanted us to buy him before Dortmund did for a ludicrous 17.5m €. If there really is a buyout clause and we activate it, he will come here, provided we give him shitloads of money. But we could have had him easily in 2012. Question is whether we need another AM, when we have Wizard of Os, Schü, Salah and also Marin, Moses, Piazon, Atsu etc waiting for a chance. players like willian are simply too good to be backup.

Zelalem is german

fernandinho is such an intelligent player.

at least we got a game of football at our hands now.

nice goal lukaku

game over.

holy fuck barkley is brilliant. massively improved over the season

The only thing giving me kind of solace is that Liverpool fans will be a lot more furious than us given Everton's forfeit

Êverton are so hypocritical basters. They always give us a hell of game but roll over to the mancs

fuck. anyway. just no draw.

but City have Demichelis. he is always good for an amazing blooper

coleman with the worst cross of the season. Lukaku will be vital for our posession next season. He wins almost every header, even against other tall+strong opponents

In 2007 the two favourite teams of Bundesliga Werder and Schalke both lost on the penultimate matchday to hand 3rd favourite Stuttgart the title...

who?

keep in mind, next season we wil have Atletico's 2 best players....

It has not been all bad. Atletico got really lucky with everyone of their goals. If we had defended like we did in Liverpool and had had a bit more luck we would have been through to the final. Simeone is incredible though. their team cost virtually nothing and he has lead it inot a CL final. But Terry, Etoo, Hazard had recovered only just + we had to play Ramires and Torres. With Cech, JT, Etoo, Hazard at 100% and Matic in the side this would have been a completely different ride.

over and out. well done atletico. we were all over the place defensively. deserved to go out.

etoo you dick. good penalty and good nerves by costa. at least one of our targets has scored against us. anyway. our D has been shit today

what a defensive lap, 3 players missing the ball. anyway, shit happens. Atletico were always gonna score. a bit less optimistic from now on, but we still can do it. we have shown we can score when not countering. So run at them.
