Magic Lamps

as they are today. it is a shame such a game is officiated by that kind of pahtetic referee

sloppy and wasteful, bad decisionmaking all the way. this would not have happened if drogba was still there

cahill and moses continue to frustrate

these corinthians dive as fuck. Shame we got no better ref.

funny fact: In case we win, Marko Marin would become only the second Germen in the last ten years to win an international title (the last was andreas hinkel, uefa cup in 2007).

We are missing JT badly.

Imagine we had walcott instead of moses in that game. Only one year older, bags of experience, faster, better dribbler and finisher. Moses is only stronger but not really pacey

in the most important match of his career. no bad timing then, but won't help when lamps gets a shot off.

refereeing is inconsistent as fuck. no yellow cards okay, but he blows every shit.

Lampard showing he is a playmaker wet through, but no deep-lying one for sure.

what a save from cassio. moses times his shot perfectly, but it should have been a tad higher

what a ball from Lampard but torres should score that.

a festival of wasted chances today. this is no good. In these kind of games the side that is more quality does not have the better chances of winning.

Moses and cahill the villians so far. As for playmaking, no hazard, no mata, Lamps is the boss today.

moses is so fuckin useless today. no pace, bad decisionmaking

what an incredibly poor game.

Corinthians plan is pretending to be utter shit and then suddenly converting.

what a poor freekick, they always need so much time to prepare and the outcome is all the more frustraing. Why does no one knows you can hit freekcikcs without the wall to b e arranged. you simply have to tell the ref you are ready and he shall blow. in bundesliga there are some aweseome goals scored once in a while with the taker completely surprising the keeper.

Oh Mata. corinthians are so shit technically. never ahve seen players running the ball out of play so many times without any pressure. Even our technically not as good players as Ramires or Ivanovic are better technically on a higher level than their offensive players.

Technically Corinthians are shit, it looks like the plan is to attack with not so many bodies forward and let corinthians do some play, cos tehy only can defend dirty and counter

cahill must score that

what a ball by lamps to torres

Maybe our most offensive lineup ever. This can get horribly wrong if we get countered, cos Corinthians will surely park the bus. At least we got Ramires pace to cover space in the midfield but all in all this is a tactical battle.

this could and most likely will become a corny encounter. Our rivalry with leeds and our tiredness returning from Japan won't help. Last year we had no real problems with them and our B-team made light work of them, but this time we got no experienced squad players like Meireles and Kalou, who know how to run this. We either have to rely on the maestros who will be tired as fukc or we have to hope Lamps does it again. he of course will also be tired as fuck. N o idea if a youngster would be ready to figuere here.

Perhaps. IMO you can compare it to the Portugese or Russian league, with the exception these teams play CL. But no team of either of these leagues is a challenge for us.
