Magic Lamps

I can't believe this. how fuckin useless hazard and mata have been.

I can't believe this. how fuckin useless hazard and mata have been.

our defense was more solid with terry in it instead of luiz

bring back Azpilicueta. Ivanovic can't cross

we can't even break through their midfield. why can't hazard take on a single player to create some space?

this is getting embarrassing

Mohamed Salah is a gem

Basel are more a German that a swiss team in terms of their football. Even at Stamford Bridge they will always try to bring the game to us. This will benefit us immensely, cos we'll go the space to counter instead of trying to break up a stubborn defense like Everton's. Also players not that acclimatised to EPL like Willian, KDB and Eto'o will have it easier here. The thing is we have to manage to get from counter-attacking football and individual's football to teamplay. This has always been one of Mou's weaker points. He gets the best out of most players but does he already get the best out of the team?

we also paid that amount for Schürrle who has roughly the same age. 21m is not much these day. Decent fee for a player who has already been very good and starter for Brazilian national team. If only two of van Ginkel, Chalobah and Mceachran (maybe even Romeu) are to rech their full potential we would be set in the pivot for years. A de rossi signing would still have been great IMO cos he would have bridged that gap. It would not have disrupted our rhythm too grave. he is a complete DM you can play next to any other midfielder. Mikel and Essien are established characters and useful squad players but still depth takes nothing away from the need of quality esp of quality players who actually fit the system. In a 4-3-3 we would have no problem. But for a DP players like Capoue who is acutally fittef or that system, would flourish here, even though he maybe is as a player worse than Mikel.

expert clearance... but also one of the best crosses i have ever seen. In the end bAyer leverkusen were lucky not to concede 5 and to score at all. It's just not manU's luck. If they were so lucky , Rolfes shot would not have gone in. It's is more Leverkusen are shit and have nothing to do in the CL.

deserved for ManU. They have been the better side throughout

but de gea looks more a rapist than Leno.

The longer the our demostic rivals stay in the CL, the better for our title hopes

who do you mean?

2-1 Utd

No. You just post unrelated opinions.

Whatever their leagues are smaller

lol German commentator talking shit: " manU's first goal from open play this season" BS. 4 goals vs Swansea from open play.

Does not mean their leagues are bigger. nice goal by Shrek.

I am totally against Bayer Leverkusen tonight. First I hate them, second I want the EPL to be the best league in the world for us to be champions of the best league in the world and for that status to cement ManU should beat Leverkusen.

Apart from me disagreeing completely with you "Torres is better all round package than Eto'o". How can you deem this season an argument in Torres favour if you are already sure that Eto'o will be "even" (lol) better than Torres.

ha true. A mate of mine is 1,92m and big as a tank and is left back because he makes too much shit as a CB. I used to be winger/striker Schürrle-style just bigger and more clumsy but because i am shit technically I play mainly as rightback to track fast attackers. But I think guys like Schmelzer, Azpilicueta or Lahm are born fullbacks because they might got the pace and skill of a decent winger but also got the tackling ability and tactical awareness of a defender.

Thank god it's only Basel. The right opponent to get back on track.

Well, DAvid Luiz is probably the worst example ever for a "not that technically gifted" player. Ramires would be the epitome of hard-working player, who compensates a lack of technique with immense workrate. His stamina is a product to endless hours of tireless running. Whatever. We can't look into people's minds. Maybe Josh really wants to cut it but just can't transport his ambition to the pitch. Everyone has patterns set up by habits, social environment etc. It is hard to break out of them, you can' transform yourself into another person over night. there can always be private problems & shit that inhibit.Those wholesale arguments "waaa they haven't the right attitude" is just way off and does not do justice to many of them.

Kind off topic but I just noticed David Luiz is just kinda the male Jennifer Lawrence. Amazing talent but always doing funny stuff in front of the camera. Maybe he has ADHS, too.
